International Game Technology (IGT) has signed an agreement with GN NV Holdings to provide its PlaySports technology for sports betting at three Golden Nugget Casino locations in Nevada.
The partnership will introduce IGT PlaySports' platform to Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe, Golden Nugget Casino Las Vegas and Golden Nugget Casino Laughlin in a phased rollout.
Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe became the first of the three venues to launch its IGT-powered retail sportsbook in January 2025.
The remaining two properties are scheduled to implement IGT PlaySports technology later this year, initially through retail sportsbooks before expanding into mobile betting.
Gerry Del Prete, COO – Gaming of Fertitta Entertainment, stated: “Nevada sports bettors are savvy and experienced players. As we reintroduce Golden Nugget’s betting program, our priority is to deliver a seamless and enhanced experience with user-friendly technology that offers advanced betting options and real-time updates.”
Joe Bertolone, IGT SVP Sports Betting, said: “Given the scale and maturity of Nevada’s sports betting market, adding three Golden Nugget Casinos to IGT PlaySports’ customer roster is an achievement that speaks to the quality of our technology and team.”
Good to know: As part of the agreement, the three Golden Nugget Casinos will also deploy IGT PlaySports’ QuickBet self-service betting kiosks and access the company’s Trading Advisory Services for odds and risk management solutions
