Auburn, WA — February 11, 2026 — Muckleshoot Casino Resort once again proved it’s the premier destination for sports betting and Big Game viewing in the Pacific Northwest, paying out more than $2 million in winning wagers during this year’s Big Game.
Powered by Caesars Sportsbook, Muckleshoot Casino Resort delivered a next-level game-day experience with Big Game Watch Parties throughout the property, including Caesars Sportsbook, Galaxy, a huge 16 ft x 9 ft pop-up screen the Food Hall, Market 253 Seafood House & Raw Bar, and all the casino bars. On Sunday, February 8, over 10,000 guests walked through the doors to watch The Big Game, creating one of the busiest and most electric sports-viewing days in the resort’s history. Guests also enjoyed the unique ability to watch and wager at the same time, with access to over 3,400 gaming machines and seating at 67 table games, creating nonstop action from kickoff to the final whistle. With sound broadcast throughout the entire casino, every seat in the house offered a premium viewing experience.
“Our message is simple: we are the best bet for all your sports betting needs,” said Junior Maldonado, Chief Operating Officer. “With better options, more sports betting kiosks, property-wide mobile app betting, and bigger payouts, Caesars Sportsbook at Muckleshoot delivers an experience that our competitors simply can’t match.”
During the Big Game, Caesars Sportsbook at Muckleshoot offered the best money line odds and spreads in the region, matching Las Vegas odds and maintaining consistent payouts without adjusting lines based on betting volume—unlike other sportsbooks. Guests also benefited from industry-leading prop bets, futures, and teaser wagers, reinforcing Caesars Sportsbook’s position as the top destination for serious sports bettors.
In addition to the casino-wide excitement, Muckleshoot Casino Resort hosted a VIP Big Game Tailgate Party inside the Muckleshoot Events Center, welcoming 500 VIP guests for an exclusive celebration powered by Corona and Modelo.
