The opening of The Queen Baton Rouge was a momentous occasion, graced by the presence of notable figures. Terry Downey, President and CEO of The Queen Gaming & Entertainment, joined Baton Rouge’s Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome in marking the establishment’s debut. The event also welcomed Ronnie Johns, Chair of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, and former National Football League quarterback Matt Flynn.

Coinciding with the opening, DraftKings unveiled a new commercial featuring its fresh tagline “The crown is yours.” The brand’s ambassadors were also introduced, further showcasing DraftKings’ commitment to providing a royal betting experience.
