IGT To Supply DraftKings Retail Sportsbook In Mississippi

DraftKings has recently launched a retail sportsbook in the state of Mississippi but it remained quite silent in of software distribution… up until now, that is. As reported by International Game Technology (IGT), reputable multinational gaming company, the platform will be powered by Playshot, which offers both pre-match and in-play sports wagering.

As soon as the regulatory approval is granted, the sportsbook will launch supplementary “sports betting peripherals” referring mostly to betting kiosks and mobile technology, due to the growing market opportunities in the whole country.

Reliable Betting Experience

According to the general manager and acting CEO at Scarlet Pearl Casino, LuAnn Pappas, the property is on a mission to offer its guests an entirely new way to enjoy gaming entertainment.

IGT’s state-of-the-art technology is more than capable of delivering pristine betting environments, and DraftKings’ expertise will easily make the Gulf Coast a reliable destination for enthusiastic customers, looking for attractive opportunites with famous brands.

Senior vice president at PlayDigital, Enrico Drago, is confident in delivering exceptional sports betting exposure to a wider audience, stating that Scarlet Pearl will quickly turn their vision into reality.

Drago also added the following

“The IGT platform and the expertise and appeal of the DraftKings brand combine to deliver a truly world-class sports betting solution that elevates the entertainment experience for sports fans in Mississippi.”

IGT’s Far-Reaching Expansion

To prove that supplying a multitude of casino and lottery operators in the United States and beyond is what the company is most famous for, it is important to consider the recent agreement with Canada’s electronic bingo market.

To clarify, the group has entered the country’s market through Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation by launching its content that is specifically tailored for this vertical, including titles such as Golden Rooster, Bengal Eyes, Pharaoh’s Legacy and more.

On top of it, the New York-listed iGaming supplier has introduced a series of changes lately, mostly regarding its leadership, as Lorenzo Pellicioli got appointed as the new chairman on November 19th.

On that occasion, Mr. Pellicioli said:

“I am honored to serve as chairperson for IGT and I look forward to working with the directors and senior management to guide continued success in the future.”

Finally, the platform’s retail debut in Nevada hasn’t gone unnoticed, as the state’s authorities approve full-scale integration of Playshot. Apart from the newly employed system, operators will be able to take advantage of IGT’s proprietary MarkSense Technology, which allows better design options and promotions on demand.

Drago is certain that the company’s customers throughout the U.S. will recognize the power of recently exerted platforms, leading them to an ever-growing gaming experience, again, ed by “hub and spoke” specs and other advantages.
