Under the terms of the new partnership, the IGT PlaySports platform will continue powering Boyd Gaming’s retail and mobile sports betting offering in Nevada for another 3 years until August 2028.
The new agreement builds on IGT and Boyd Gaming’s long-standing sports betting technology partnership that started in 2018.
“Boyd Gaming is pleased to announce our decision to continue powering our retail and mobile sportsbooks in Nevada with IGT PlaySports technology,” said Bob Scucci, Vice President of Race & Sports Operations for Boyd Gaming. “As the core technology of our sports betting offering in Nevada, IGT PlaySports’ platform enables us to evolve Boyd Sports in ways that deliver incremental value to our players and seamlessly scale our offering to address new business opportunities.”
“IGT PlaySports looks forward to continuing our close partnership with Boyd Gaming in Nevada for three additional years and helping them engage players across channels in the most mature, competitive sports betting market in the U.S.,” added Joe Bertolone, IGT SVP of Sports Betting. “IGT PlaySports continues to invest in and grow our footprint in Nevada. The performance, reliability and scalability of our technology stack and self-service betting technologies ensure our customers benefit from the most comprehensive B2B solution in North America.”
In addition to using the IGT PlaySports platform, Boyd Gaming will continue to offer IGT’s PlaySports Kiosks at its 10 retail betting locations across Nevada.
IGT PlaySports technology also powers retail sportsbooks at Boyd Gaming-owned casinos in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
