The deal is aimed at improving the customer experience on BetSaracen, the sports betting arm of Saracen Casino Resort.

The new agreement will also see Saracen Casino Resort become the first company to integrate Global Payments Gaming Solution’s system in the state of Arkansas – after it legalised mobile sports betting.

Global Payments Solution says its solution ‘makes enrolment quicker and simpler, and includes up-to-date technology that keeps patron information safe and secure.’

Carlton Saffa, CMO at Saracen Casino Resort, said of the deal: “By leveraging innovative technology from Global Payments into our sports betting app, BetSaracen is providing our customers with the latest technology to keep personal information safe.

“Early in our mobile gaming development, Global Payments provided us with a wide variety of gaming and payment options. We are confident that our partnership with Global Payments’ VIP Preferred will continue to create a seamless payment process that furthers our connection with patrons.”

Meanwhile, Christopher Justice, President of Global Payments Gaming Solutions, added: “Global Payments Gaming Solutions is always eager to create a positive and safe environment for mobile sports betting.

“With the capabilities of the industry-standard e-check network VIP Preferred, BetSaracen will continue to be the innovative and cutting-edge app for mobile sports betting in Arkansas.”

The casino property features an 80,000-square-foot gaming area, 1,800 slot machines and 40 table games in its Las Vegas location.
