Hot on the heels of the statement which the Iowa cornfields whereField of Dreams was filmed will host a Yankees vs. White Sox match next year comes the information that sports gambling will arrive in Iowa much earlier.
Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs is forecast to begin taking wagers on sports on August 15, according to a Penn National Gaming news release.
Iowa is poised to become the very first midwestern state to offer sports wagering since the federal ban was repealed last year, Timothy J. Wilmott, chief executive officer of Penn National said in a prepared statement. We appreciate the diligence of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission which will make it possible for us to start offering this wonderful new amenity in Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs prior to the kickoff of football season.
Tim Dwight, an Iowa native, 10-year NFL veteran who has been a two-time All-American at the University of Iowa and played in Super Bowl XXXIII is scheduled to create the casino sports wager in its sports lounge that was renovated.
Ameristars sportsbook is currently putting up shop in the old Amerisports Bar & Grill of the casino. It will incorporate a wagering counter with ticket writer channels and several new televisions for visitors to capture all of the action.
Kiosks will be found through the land, giving an avalanche of sport wagering options from the National Football League.
Its anticipated that Ameristar Council Bluffs with its sports wagering lounge will become a destination for bettors and sports fans from Nebraska and Iowa. The casino is just across the stateline from greater Omaha, Nebraska.

Collegiate and professional sports are embedded in the University of both Iowa and Nebraska. We look forward to welcoming customers from throughout the region in the extraordinary new sports book at Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs.
