LAS VEGAS, Sept. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games
Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games") and Caesars
Entertainment ("Caesars") launched retail sportsbook solutions at
the Indiana Grand Racing & Casino in Shelbyville, Indiana on Sept. 1. This launch marks the first venue where
sports betting wagers can be taken in the state of Indiana, and the fifth state in the companies'
sports betting partnership. Six more Caesars properties in
Indiana are slated to launch in
September, rapidly expanding the state's sports betting
presence.
Indiana Grand Racing & Casino now benefits from the full
functionality of Scientific Games' OpenSports™ product
suite, which powers the property's sports betting offering. The
launch includes retail betting solutions that make for a seamless,
intuitive user experience. Throughout September, Caesars and
Scientific Games will launch the OpenSports™ product suite
at Horseshoe Hammond, Horseshoe Southern Indiana Hotel and Casino,
and Harrah's Hoosier Park Racing & Casino; in addition to off
track betting locations in Indianapolis, Clarksville and New
Haven.
Following the recent launches in Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi, New
Jersey, and Pennsylvania
earlier this year, the sports betting partnership between
Scientific Games and Caesars will continue to expand into new
markets with the introduction of OpenSports™ solutions in
Illinois and North Carolina.
Jordan Levin, Group Chief
Executive of SG Digital, said, "We're thrilled to expand our
partnership with Caesars in the US.
OpenSports™ is a great platform that's shown rock solid
performance, putting players at the heart of the betting
experience. With Scientific Games' powerful retail solution
and mobile sports product, we'll continue to take bold steps when
it comes to the player experience."
Christian Stuart, Executive Vice
President of Gaming and Interactive Entertainment at Caesars, said,
"We've had incredibly successful sportsbook launches, and
Indiana is continuing that trend.
We look forward to seeing OpenSports further engage our
players with the sleek user experience and high transaction volume
we've come to expect from OpenSports."
Scientific Games will bring mobile sports betting to Caesars'
Indiana properties as regulations
allow, and expects to launch mobile solutions in Pennsylvania this month and in Iowa in late 2019.
