Poker players in North Florida have been eagerly awaiting the opening of bestbet’s third cardroom location, but that wait is now over.
bestbet, a gaming operator that spreads simulcast, poker, and other tables games, unveiled their brand new 40,673-square foot facility in St. Augustine on Monday, Aug. 29 at 10 a.m.
“We are very excited to return to St. Johns County with the newest addition to the bestbet portfolio,” said Jamie Shelton, bestbet President. “Our Team has done an outstanding job in bringing this project to completion and we couldn’t be more proud. We would like to thank St. Johns County for its support and for working with us to bring this project home.”
The property, which broke ground in July of 2021, will boast 49 gaming tables, a sports bar, a sushi bar, tableside service, simulcast wagering, and more than 70 flat-screen TVs. In addition to poker, bestbet will also offer One Card Poker, Three Card Poker, Pai Gow, and Ultimate Texas Hold’em.
While satisfying the demand for poker in the area, bestbet is also creating a number of jobs for those in St. John’s County.
“Our new facility will employ over two hundred employees day one, including but not limited, information technology, accounting and finance, cardroom operations, servers, dealers, security and surveillance, and other senior management positions,” said Shelton. “While the economic impact can never be precisely calculated in connection with a new or relocating business to a community, we are very confident, along with county officials, the positive impact is going to be very significant.”
bestbet also operates a poker room in Orange Park, as well as a cardroom in Jacksonville with more than 80 tables, which is the largest in the state.
The new location is at 800 Marketplace Dr., St. Augustine, Florida 32084. You can learn more at bestbetjax.com.
