IGT PlaySports Partners with Golden Nugget Casinos
International Game Technology PLC announced that IGT PlaySports is growing its sports betting presence in Nevada via a three-property, sports betting technology and services agreement with GN NV Holdings LLC, owner and operator of the Golden Nugget Casinos. Per the agreement and through a phased rollout, IGT PlaySports will power retail and mobile sports betting at Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe first, followed by Golden Nugget Casino Las Vegas, and Golden Nugget Casino Laughlin.
Golden Nugget Casino Lake Tahoe was the first of the three casinos to convert to an IGT PlaySports-powered sportsbook after launching its retail sportsbooks in January 2025. Golden Nugget Casino Laughlin and Golden Nugget Casino Las Vegas are expected to launch their new sports betting programs later this year, first with retail betting and then with a mobile betting option.
“Golden Nugget Casinos in Nevada are thrilled to partner with IGT PlaySports to elevate our retail and mobile sports betting experience statewide. Nevada sports bettors are savvy and experienced players. As we reintroduce Golden Nugget’s betting program, our priority is to deliver a seamless and enhanced experience with user-friendly technology that offers outstanding features, including advanced betting options and real-time updates to keep players engaged,” Gerry Del Prete, Chief Operating Officer-Gaming of Fertitta Entertainment, said.
“Given the scale and maturity of Nevada’s sports betting market, adding three Golden Nugget Casinos to IGT PlaySports’ customer roster is an achievement that speaks to the quality of our technology and team. We look forward to helping Golden Nugget Casinos elevate their sports betting program, execute their vision and engage sports fans in Nevada with localized offers, a diverse betting menu and superior technology,” said Joe Bertolone, IGT SVP Sports Betting.
In addition to deploying the award-winning IGT PlaySports platform, the three Golden Nugget Casinos will offer IGT PlaySports’ QuickBet self-service betting kiosks and leverage the expertise of the Company’s Trading Advisory Services team.
