Football fans are closer to seeing which two teams will face off in this year's Super Bowl. On Saturday the AFC Wild Card playoffs started with the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans. Texans won in overtime, 22-19. Then the Tennessee Titans played the New England Patriots. Titans won, 20-13.
The Atlantis Casino says with just weeks away from the big game, its seeing more people coming in to make a little extra cash.
Marc Nelson, Atlantis Corporate Director of Race & Sports said, "It's definitely busier, especially since the 49ers are doing better this year and then it's the final season of the Oakland Raiders before they move to Las Vegas. So we saw a lot of increased interest, particularly for the 49ers. But across the board you know football just gets more popular every year."
Nelson says the casino is ready for the crowds and there's a place for everyone to enjoy the game. Atlantis Race & Sports Book features a smoke free environment, more than 30 flat screen HD and LED TV's, surround sound, private betting stations with DirecTV® HD and internet access, and phone charging ports.
There are also a variety of ways a person can bet which include straight bets, parlays, 1st half wagering, halftime wagering, 1st period wagering, 1st quarter wagering.
And even if making money is most people's goal, others say its not just about winning or losing.
"Even if I lose everything it's all about the excitement, the energy, the alcohol. If you win you're excited, if you lose, you're excited... and you're mad. It's great either way." said Reno resident Daniel Corbett
