Betgenius, the premium supplier of sports-book technology to regulated operators globally, has been selected to provide its trusted odds creation and risk management solutions to power the new sports book launched by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians.
Betgenius’ world-renowned sportsbook trading console is integrated into IGT’s PlayShot sports betting platform, which is live at two of the Choctaw resorts in Mississippi.
The casino operator recently launched the sports book at its Pearl River Resort in Mississippi, where patrons can place wagers over the counter at the recently opened Timeout Lounge at Gold Moon Casino and also at its satellite sports book located at the Bok Homa Casino near Laurel, Mississippi. Mobile and online wagering is also planned as part of the deal.
Under the agreement, Betgenius is delivering a complete sports book management solution, including live sports data feeds, price management for pre-game and in-play odds across all major U.S. sports, and a bespoke, end-to-end price and risk management service.
Jack Davison, chief commercial officer of Genius Sports Group, the parent company of Betgenius, said, “By leveraging Betgenius’ expertise in sportsbook management and breadth of high-quality content, Pearl River Resorts has established a premium sports betting offering.
“The legalization of sports betting presents tribal casinos with a major opportunity to diversify their revenue streams and take a leading role in the fast-moving, tech-driven sector of sports betting. Through this partnership, we are extremely proud to play a role in enabling the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians to be the first tribal casino to do just that.”
Neal Atkinson, the director of table games who also oversees the Pearl River sports betting operations, added, “We look forward to this partnership and are working with Betgenius to tailor their services for this exciting new Southern U.S. sports betting market.”
“IGT’s collaboration with Betgenius resulted in a history-making sports betting solution for Pearl River Resorts,” said Enrico Drago, senior vice president, PlayDigital at IGT. “Betgenius’ odds-making and risk management expertise and technology were the ideal complements to IGT’s market-ready PlayShot sports betting platform and our position as the leading end-to-end gaming supplier.”
