Golden Nugget and Sci Games add sports betting to online partnership

Golden Nugget and Scientific Games have inked a deal to build on their online gaming partnership in a new multi-product agreement.

As part of the deal, Scientific Games will supply its solutions to the US casino operator across multiple states through 2024 and potentially beyond.

Golden Nugget will have access to Scientific Games’ OpenGaming content aggregation platform, portal and player account management solution in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

There is potential for the partnership to cover further states depending on online gaming legalisation.

Furthermore, Golden Nugget has chosen Scientific Games’ OpenSports product suite and managed trading services from Don Best Sports.

The rollout of OpenSports will kick off with mobile sports betting in New Jersey, with additional states added as new states launch sports betting.

There is also the option to deploy OpenSports in retail locations across multiple states including New Jersey and Nevada.

Thomas Winter, SVP and general manager for online gaming for Golden Nugget, said: “We have a long history with Scientific Games, and their technology is a cornerstone of our sports betting and igaming strategy.

“We’re thrilled to continue working with them to bring a consistent and best-in-class experience to our players across multiple products, nationwide.”

Jordan Levin, group chief executive for digital at Scientific Games, commented: “Following Golden Nugget’s transition to our solutions, we look forward to launching sports on top of our long-standing player account and igaming relationship.

He added: “Golden Nugget has a wide player base across the US, having pioneered the igaming space in New Jersey from its earliest days, and we’re excited to power their sports betting and igaming presence, providing a seamless and reliable end-to-end betting experience.”
