Kambi Group plc signs on-property sportsbook partnership with WarHorse Gaming, LLC in Nebraska

 

Multi-channel agreement includes provision of Kambi’s sportsbook to Desert Diamond Casinos’ West Valley, Sahuarita, and Tucson, Arizona properties, with a mobile sportsbook to follow

Kambi Group plc has signed a long-term partnership to provide its online and on-property sportsbook to Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, an enterprise of the Tohono O’odham Nation, which operates casino properties in the US state of Arizona.

The largest tribal operator in the Grand Canyon State, Desert Diamond Casinos is owned and operated by the Tohono O’odham Nation, which was one of 10 Arizona Indian tribes in August to receive a licence from the Arizona Department of Gaming to offer sports wagering in the state.

The multi-channel agreement will see Kambi provide its full suite of high-performance sports betting technology, initially rolling out on-property across the operator’s West Valley, Sahuarita, and Tucson, Arizona properties in Q4 with an online sportsbook to follow shortly under the newly created entity of Desert Diamond Mobile LLC.

Desert Diamond Casinos will benefit from Kambi’s proven on-property offering, including the Kambi kiosk and Bring Your Own Device technology, as well as harnessing Kambi’s enhanced in-event combinability product, launched in September for the start of the NFL season.

Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are very proud to partner with Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, a deal which further strengthens Kambi’s strong relationship with tribal casino operators.

“Desert Diamond Casinos is renowned for offering world-class gaming and entertainment experiences and complements Kambi’s strategy to partner with market leaders.

“We look forward to working with them closely to deliver high-quality and exciting sports betting experiences to both its on-property patrons and online customers in the state of Arizona.”

Mike Bean, CEO, Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, said: “We are delighted to sign this multi-year agreement with Kambi, which has a proven track record in sportsbook provision across the globe.

“This exciting partnership provides Desert Diamond with the ability to leverage its long standing, well-regarded brand to provide our guests with a leading sports betting product across multiple channels.”

Published

on

 

In 2023, Meridianbet emerged as a contender for the most DEI-compliant betting and gaming brand globally, with women occupying 61% of its top managerial positions, marking a significant rise from 58% in 2021.

This achievement not only exemplifies Meridianbet’s commitment to gender equality but also sets a high standard compared to global diversity, equity, and inclusion benchmarks.

Gender equality at Meridianbet is a policy-driven initiative, not merely a compliance requirement, and it started from Day 1. The company ensures zero gender pay disparity, thereby supporting a complete eradication of the gender gap within its ranks. This commitment is manifested in its leadership demographics, significantly surpassing the most progressive DE&I standards globally.

The distribution of female management across Meridianbet’s operations varies by region, reflecting the company’s broad and inclusive reach. In Europe, 58% of managerial roles are held by women, while the Americas report a slightly higher figure at 60%. Africa stands out with an impressive 69%, showcasing Meridianbet’s effective policies in diverse cultural contexts.

Inclusion is deeply embedded in Meridianbet’s operational ethos. The company not only aims to attract the best global talent but also ensures that its recruitment and professional development strategies foster an environment where every employee, regardless of gender, feels valued, respected, and heard.

The forthcoming weeks are expected to provide more insights as Meridianbet prepares to share further achievements and plans in its continued pursuit of excellence in corporate responsibility.
Meridianbet is part of the Golden Matrix Group.
