WINDSOR LOCKS, CT — As of today, online sports betting is legal in Connecticut — and soon, a Windsor Locks restaurant will be one of 15 establishments statewide to offer sports gambling.

Online sports wagering officially launched in Connecticut at 6 a.m. Tuesday morning after it received approval to move forward upon completion of a seven-day soft launch, NBC Connecticut reported.
