Caesars rolls out Sci Games-powered Indiana sportsbook
Deal includes additional venues within the state, as well as mobile betting once the law is finalized
Caesars has rolled out its Scientific Games-powered retail sportsbook solution at the Indiana Grand Racing & Casino, with six more Caesars venues in the state set to launch in September.
The deal will see the seven Caesars venues operate on the OpenSports platform, born out of the OpenBet platform that SG acquired via its NYX purchase in 2017.
Caesars’ Horseshoe Hammond, Horseshoe Southern Indiana Hotel and Casino, and Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino will launch additional sportsbooks in coming weeks.
The deal will also see all properties produce mobile sportsbooks when Indiana law allows for it.
Indiana legalized sports betting on September 1 and is working on launching mobile wagering in the state
SG Digital CEO Jordan Levin said: “We’re thrilled to expand our partnership with Caesars in the US. OpenSports is a great platform that’s shown rock solid performance, putting players at the heart of the betting experience.”
Executive vice president of gaming and interactive entertainment at Caesars, Christian Stuart, said: “We’ve had incredibly successful sportsbook launches, and Indiana is continuing that trend.
“We look forward to seeing OpenSports further engage our players with the sleek user experience and high transaction volume we’ve come to expect,” he said.
Caesars first partnered with Scientific Games in July last year to build its New Jersey Bally’s and Harrah’s sportsbooks.
Further plans are in place to develop mobile solutions in Pennsylvania and Iowa later in the year.
