Beginning on Monday, March 19 and continuing through the NBA Finals in June, Cantor Gaming will start with selecting a team of five players each day and Cantor 5 participants will be able to select a team from the remaining pool of players. Once a team has been selected, Cantor Gaming will offer a point spread and patrons can wager on either Cantor Gaming's team or their own against the spread. Sports wagering fans may place Cantor 5 wagers through their sports wagering accounts in any Cantor Race & Sports Book located throughout Las Vegas, or on their Android(TM) devices, including cell phones and tablets.
Mike Colbert, Race & Sports Book Risk Director at Cantor Gaming, said: "Cantor Gaming has proven time and again to be an innovator in sports wagering. Our 'Cantor 5' wager is among the most creative and ground-breaking events ever in sports betting. We are excited to offer sports fans this unique opportunity to create their own fantasy basketball team, and wager on their choices, bringing an entirely new dimension of fun and excitement to the professional basketball season."
Fans can visit Cantor Gaming's race and sports books and sign up for sports wagering accounts at: the M Resort Spa Casino, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the Tropicana Las Vegas, the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas and Las Vegas Sands' The Palazzo and The Venetian Las Vegas. Cantor Gaming will open a new race and sports book at Palms Casino Resort this May and meanwhile operates an ancillary sports-only book near the Mint High Limit Lounge located on Palms' main floor.
