LONDON, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game
Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) and the Mississippi Band of
Choctaw Indians' Pearl River Resort announce the launch of IGT's
CrystalBetting™ Terminal. Patrons of Pearl River Resort's
Golden Moon Casino and Silver Star
Casino in Philadelphia, Miss. can
be among the first sports fans in the world to place pre-match and
in-game sports wagers at a private, luxury carrel via the
CrystalBetting Terminal.
IGT's CrystalBetting Terminals give players a comfortable, VIP
sports betting experience unlike anything currently offered in the
U.S. sports betting market. Each terminal includes a 27-inch
monitor where sports enthusiasts can watch live sporting events and
place a range of sports wagers. The innovative hardware features
privacy wings, a personal listening audio jack, USB charging port,
convenient workstation, and was recently named one of the "Top 20
Most Innovative Gaming Technologies" by Casino Journal.
"Pearl River Resort is proud to partner with IGT on the
global launch of the CrystalBetting Terminal," said
Neal Atkinson, Pearl River Resort
Director of Table Games. "We prioritize being on the
forefront of sports betting innovation and providing our players
choice and convenience for placing sports bets at our properties.
Extending our sports betting offering to include IGT's
CrystalBetting Terminals elevates the player experience and gives
our patrons yet another reason to choose Pearl River Resort for
gaming entertainment."
"By adding the CrystalBetting Terminal to its already
impressive sports betting offering, Pearl River Resort is
positioned to engage sports fans in new ways and to differentiate
its offering," said Nick
Khin, IGT Chief Commercial Officer, Gaming. "IGT's
sports betting momentum in the U.S. market, paired with the player
insights that we gained while testing the CrystalBetting Terminal,
reinforce our confidence in the product's capacity to deliver a
compelling player experience that complements the entire IGT sports
betting technology ecosystem."
By leveraging IGT PlaySports platform, Pearl River Resort made
gaming history in 2018 when it became the first non-Nevada tribal casino to open a sportsbook
post-PASPA repeal. The pioneering operator opened its three
sportsbooks with over-the-counter retail sports betting and quickly
expanded its offerings to include self-service PlaySports Kiosks
and mobile on-premise wagering.
The CrystalBetting Terminal is currently undergoing a 90-day
field trial and has already secured GLI Certification and
Mississippi Choctaw Gaming Commission approval.
