If you don't have the time to navigate your way to the main sportsbook location, much less hang out and savor your success with a drink, Potawatomi Hotel & Casino placed a handful of the self-service betting kiosks on the building's second level as well. And if you're hungry for more than a generous point spread, the sportsbook's bar also offers a small menu of snacks ranging from two soft pretzel options to American Wagyu beef hot dogs and three types of panini: turkey bacon avocado, hot ham and cheese, and Milwaukee cheesesteak. The seats at the actual bar also have video gambling screens as well, just in case the on-field action isn't providing enough stimulation. To toast your victory or drown your sorrows, the new Potawatomi sportsbook comes surrounded by a full-service bar making cocktails and pouring brew options including Coors Light, Bud Light, Lakefront Brewery, City Lights, Bell's Brewery and more.

The sportsbook also has an in-person counter for placing one's bets at the very front of the new space. For more information on the process of how to place a bet, visit Potawatomi's website. Around a dozen electronic kiosks are found in the sportsbook area – mainly found along the right wall just inside the entrance, with a few more tucked away further inside the bar – each offering a number of ways to bet based on sport, specific game and line. Of course, the true starring feature of the Potawatomi sportsbook isn't the action taking place on the eight-screen sports wall or plentiful other TV screens but the action taking place on the several self-service betting kiosks located throughout the new space.

Taking its first bets on Friday, the current Potawatomi sportsbook – found on the casino's first floor near the former Fire Pit Sports Bar & Grill space – offers a full sports bar and betting experience, complete with more than two dozen screens dedicated to the day's biggest sporting events along with the betting odds and lines as well as plenty of seating and counter space to take it all in. Between the start of a new baseball season, the NHL and NBA playoffs on approach, and the men's NCAA National Championship about to tip off, it's an exciting time for sports – even more so if you're a sports fan in Milwaukee, where Potawatomi Hotel & Casino opened the city's first sportsbook and gave legal sports gambling its first foothold.
