Newgioco Signs U.S. Flagship Deal with Fleetwood Gaming in Montana

Fleetwood Gaming to Deploy Newgioco’s ELYS Sportsbook and Virtual Sports Platforms at select locations in Montana

 

Newgioco Group, Inc., today announced that the Company entered into an agreement with Fleetwood Gaming, Inc. for the exclusive rights to distribute Newgioco’s ELYS sports and virtual betting products at select locations in the state of Montana. The commencement of betting transactions is subject to obtaining the required certification and approvals from the Gambling Control Division of the Montana Department of Justice.

The multi-year agreement will see Newgioco partner with Fleetwood to roll-out the ELYS sportsbook and virtual sport platforms throughout Fleetwood’s distribution network in Montana. Although Montana was one of four states grandfathered in under the original PASPA law, it’s anticipated that Montana will legalize sports betting during the 2019 legislative session (the state legislature meets only in odd-numbered years and only for 90 days) – allowing internet and mobile sports betting as well as kiosks at bars, restaurants and taverns.

“Since launching our U.S. business expansion plan in October 2018 at G2E in Las Vegas we have been working diligently with strategic partners in the U.S. to grow our pipeline of opportunities, and to initiate our geographic diversification,” commented Newgioco CEO Michele Ciavarella. “We are delighted to have found a true partner for our initial entry into the rapidly evolving U.S. market. Along with our tribal gaming partners, we look forward to working with Fleetwood and its aligned ‘family culture’ and business ethics to bring responsible sports and virtual betting to Montana and its neighboring states.”

“The remarkable flexibility and incredible expansion capability demonstrated by ELYS’ shop client design fits perfectly within the variety of our Fleetwood product lines and wide distribution range through route operations such as independently owned sports bars, taverns, restaurants and casinos. We are very pleased to be working with the committed Newgioco team, and being the first to roll out the ELYS betting platform throughout our retail network in Montana,” added Fleetwood Gaming CEO Jon Dehler. “With the unique features of the ELYS shop client backed by an impressive gaming specific BI and risk management engine, I am quite excited about the opportunity of expanding our partnership with Newgioco in Montana and our neighbouring states as the legalizing of sports betting continues to develop state by state.”

Montana’s population is just over one million people, but more interestingly, about 12.2 million tourists visited Montana and spent nearly $3.7 billion in 2018 – visiting Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, the Beartooth Highway, Flathead Lake, Big Sky Resort, and other attractions. Gross Gaming Revenue from video gaming terminals (VGT) in 2017 was approximately $400 million. According to the American Gaming Association, Montana has 13 tribal casinos and approximately 1,440 electronic device locations (in 2017, there were 1,874 VGT’s in tribal casinos, and 15,810 in non-casino locations). Newgioco management believes the leisure betting market in Montana presents a great opportunity for its partnership with Fleetwood Gaming.

Newgioco will be hosting a private demo suite at the Reservation Economic Summit (RES) 2019 at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel & Casino from March 26-27. Ā In addition, we will be exhibiting at the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) Tradeshow & Convention (Booth #1550) at the San Diego Convention Center from April 1-4, 2019.

Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort Rising in Kings Mountain as First Year of Construction is Completed

Published

on

 

Significant construction has been completed during the first year of work on the $1 billion Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort in Kings Mountain, N.C., a site off Interstate-85 only 35 miles from Charlotte and close to the South Carolina border.

Construction on all aspects of the project is in full swing, with the foundations for the casino complex and hotel completed several months ago, the casino complex at its full height and expanding horizontally, and steel continuing to rise for the 24-story, 385-room hotel. The hotel tower framing is now 10 stories high, with an additional floor being added nearly every week. At completion, the hotel will be connected to the casino complex.

The casino complex includes the introductory casino on the first level, three levels of covered parking, a back-of-house level and top level with the main casino floor and restaurants. The introductory casino, set to open in spring 2026, will include 1350 slot machines, 20 table games, a 40-seat restaurant, a bar, sports betting kiosks, and Lucky North Rewards desk.

The introductory casino will replace the current temporary (prelaunch) casino, which continues to grow in popularity as it nears its fourth anniversary on July 1.

The main casino complex is targeted to open in 2027. It will be about 2 million square feet and feature:

• 4300 slot machines

• 100 table games

• 11 dining outlets, including a steakhouse, Italian restaurant, marketplace with six venues, cafĆ©, and grab-and-go outlet

• A players lounge

• 11 bars, including a center bar and sports bar

• A 2700-space parking garage built under the casino complex and 800 surface parking spaces

The project has created hundreds of construction jobs. Upon completion, the casino resort will employ an estimated 2200 regional residents and citizens of the Catawba Nation.

ā€œThis casino resort will be an economic game changer for Catawba citizens and a force to drive the economy of Cleveland County and the City of Kings Mountain. This project is a testament to our resilience, our commitment to self-sufficiency, and our determination to build a better future for ourselves and our future generations,ā€ Catawba Nation Chief Brian Harris said.

Harris noted the temporary casino is contributing to many community and charitable organizations in the region, and that will only increase as the full casino resort opens.

The project is being led by the Catawba Nation Gaming Authority under Vice President Trent Troxel, with Yates-Metcon as the construction general contractor; Delaware North as the gaming management, development and hospitality consultant; and SOSHNY Design architects.

ā€œOnce again, I want to thank the Cleveland County, City of Kings Mountain, federal and state leaders who have supported the Catawba Nation’s efforts develop the casino resort in its ancestral lands in North Carolina,ā€ Harris said.

Work has also been completed on two key infrastructure projects for development of the permanent casino resort that were funded by the Catawba Nation: doubling the size of the Dixon School Road Bridge over I-85 near the casino entrance and installing new sewer lines near the casino.
