Meadowlands Racetrack is expanding its gaming operations with FanDuel. 

According to PlayNJ, Kevin Hennessy, the publicity director for FanDuel, stated in an email that the new sportsbook will be named the FanDuel Sportsbook at the Meadowlands Racetrack.

The racetrack looks forward to offering sports betting and hopes to cash in as a northern facility, where gaming is not as prevalent as in Atlantic City. Bettors in the northern portion of the state will have an option for sports betting instead of having to travel to the known gambling city.

Gural pointed out that the Meadowlands is the only place one can go to wager near the city of New York, northern New Jersey and Westchester. The goal was to get the sportsbook up and running as quickly as possible.
