Chris Armes, Chief Technology Officer for SG Digital, said, “Scientific Games remains committed to providing next level experiences to sports betting players through our best-in-class OpenBet sportsbook platform. The launch of sports betting in Mississippi is not only a great step forward in our partnership with Caesars, but also a testament to our commitment to speed to market delivery, as we pivot our business to stay agile and adaptable. The deployment of Caesars sportsbooks has been one of the fastest ever deployments of our platform. Our cross-functional teams across the globe worked tirelessly from commercial sign-off through to go-live.”

Keith O’Loughlin, SVP Sportsbook for SG Digital, said, “We’re thrilled to see such a successful launch in Mississippi. This is our fourth property launched in three weeks, and these initial installations are paving the way for amazing revenue growth for our partners and allowing us to showcase our speed to market capabilities.
