International Game Technology (IGT), a leading gaming technology company, announced today that it has expanded its sports betting options in two key states – Nevada and Colorado. The move comes as the demand for sports betting continues to grow across the country, following the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize the activity in 2018.
In Nevada, IGT has partnered with several major casinos to offer its sports betting platform to customers. This includes popular establishments such as the Bellagio, MGM Grand, and Mandalay Bay. The platform, known as IGT PlaySports, provides customers with a seamless and user-friendly experience, allowing them to place bets on a wide range of sporting events.
“We are thrilled to expand our sports betting options in Nevada, one of the largest and most mature sports betting markets in the country,” said Enrico Drago, Senior Vice President of IGT PlayDigital. “Our partnership with these top casinos will allow us to reach a larger audience and provide them with a best-in-class sports betting experience.”
In addition to Nevada, IGT has also expanded its sports betting options in Colorado. The company has teamed up with several casinos in the state, including the Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Black Hawk and the Isle Casino Hotel Black Hawk. With the addition of these partnerships, IGT now offers its sports betting platform in multiple states across the country.
“We are excited to bring our cutting-edge sports betting technology to Colorado,” said Drago. “With the growing popularity of sports betting in the state, we believe that our platform will provide customers with a world-class experience that can’t be found anywhere else.”
IGT’s expansion into these states comes at a time when the sports betting industry is experiencing rapid growth. According to a recent report by the American Gaming Association, sports betting revenue in the United States reached $1.5 billion in 2020, a 69% increase from the previous year. With more states legalizing sports betting and the demand for online options on the rise, companies like IGT are well-positioned to capitalize on this trend.
As sports betting continues to become more popular, companies like IGT are looking to innovate and provide customers with new and exciting ways to engage with their favorite sports. With the expansion of its sports betting options in Nevada and Colorado, IGT is taking a significant step towards becoming a leader in the industry and providing customers with the best possible betting experience.
