Harris Blitzer Sports and Entertainment on Tuesday announced its second deal in five days to open a sports lounge at Newark's Prudential Center to promote sports betting to customers with gambling accounts on their mobile phones.

This time it's a deal with Caesars Entertainment for a restaurant and bar on the main concourse.

It follows last week's deal opening of a sports lounge with bookmaker William Hill.
