Caesars Windsor to Suspend Sports Betting for Final 4

The Caesars Windsor casino will suspend betting on men's Division I basketball for one week ending April 6, when the NCAA championship game will be played across the Detroit River in Detroit.

The NCAA says the city of Windsor supported its request to Ontario Lottery Gaming Corp., the government agency that owns Caesars Windsor, to halt otherwise legal college basketball betting at the casino. Casinos in Michigan and most other states are banned from offering sports wagers.
