| By Richard Mulligan
International Game Technology (IGT) has obtained regulatory approval in Nevada for its PlaySports platform for retail and online sports betting.
The London-headquartered technology supplier said it will now target the expansion of its sports betting enterprise in the US’s most established state for gambling through the PlaySports solution, which is now live in 16 US states.
IGT initiated the required Nevada field trial process for its PlaySports technology at Boyd Gaming properties in August 2020 and is currently powering Boyd Gaming’s entire sports betting enterprise in the state.
PlaySports has processed almost two billion bets globally since it was launched more than a decade ago, powering operators in Europe, Latin America and Asia, including customers such as OPAP and Lottomatica.
