William Hill to roll out virtual sports product in Nevada
Operator to expand product to entire sportsbook estate in partnership with Inspired Gaming
William Hill will roll out a full suite of virtual sports across its Nevada sportsbook estate in 2017, after supplier Inspired Gaming had its product approved by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
The virtual events will be shown alongside live sports in Hills’ sportsbooks and players will be able to place bets in real time over the counter and via self-service terminals.
“The successful completion of Inspired’s virtual sports technical field trial in Nevada is fantastic news for the business, as we bring our extensive portfolio of products to more US venues than ever before,” Steve Rogers, CCO of digital games at Inspired said.
“This announcement again confirms Inspired as the world leader in virtual sports innovation and deployment, and we look forward to delivering cutting-edge entertainment to William Hill’s customers in Nevada.
“Expansion in the US is a strategic focus for Inspired, and we’re excited to extend our virtual sports offering to specifically suit this market.”
William Hill first launched the Inspired virtual product in two venues back in July, with plans to expand the offering once it was approved by the NGCB.
Inspired is also live with the Golden Nugget and Resorts in New Jersey, although takes bets online with those partners.
The supplier is also expected to soon be integrated into palacasino.com in the New Jersey market.
