Ontario casino halts betting during NCAA Final 4
11:24 PM CST, February 27, 2009
DETROIT - The Caesars Windsor casino will suspend betting on men's Division I basketball for one week ending April 6, when the NCAA championship game will be played across the Detroit River in Detroit.
The NCAA says the city of Windsor supported its request to Ontario Lottery Gaming Corp., the government agency that owns Caesars Windsor, to halt otherwise legal college basketball betting at the casino. Casinos in Michigan and most other states are banned from offering sports wagers.
Rui Brum, a spokesman for the Ontario agency, told the Detroit Free Press it was "honored to be working with the NCAA." He declined further comment.
The NCAA Final Four teams will practice Friday, April 3 at Ford Field. The semifinals are Saturday, April 4 and the championship game is Monday, April 6. |
