International Game Technology (IGT) has announced an expansion of its sports betting operations in Nevada and Colorado through a new technology and services agreement with Monarch Casino & Resort.
This partnership will see IGT’s PlaySports platform and trading advisory services powering both retail and mobile sports betting at two major gaming venues: Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno, Nevada, and Monarch Casino Resort Spa in Black Hawk, Colorado.
As part of this collaboration, Monarch Casino & Resort has launched new mobile sportsbook apps: Atlantis NV Sports and BetMonarch – Colorado. Both of these apps utilise IGT PlaySports technology.
Steve Mikkelson, Corporate Director of Race and Sports for Monarch Casino & Resort, stated: “We’re excited to introduce Atlantis and Monarch Black Hawk patrons to elevated sports betting entertainment via our new IGT PlaySports-powered retail and mobile sportsbooks.
“IGT PlaySports’ technology stack is widely known as one of the most versatile B2B sports betting technology stacks in the US, and we believe we now have the ideal sports betting offering to drive incremental player engagement and value at both of our award-winning properties.”
Joe Bertolone, SVP of Sports Betting for IGT, added: “IGT PlaySports is delighted to partner with Monarch in the modernisation of their sports betting offerings in Nevada and Colorado.
“We look forward to helping them attract new players and deliver world-class retail and mobile sports betting that is aligned with local market opportunities and player preferences.”
Earlier in the year, Monarch Casino & Resort reported a mixed Q4 2023, with revenue up 6.3% but profit falling by 18.9%.
