Sportech Racing and Digital has announced new deals in Chile and Spain to provide betting terminal technology.
Sportech will provide the new BetJet SL 2.5 self-service betting terminal to Club Hípico de Santiago and Valparaiso Sporting Club in Chile. These Chilean thoroughbred racetracks are long-standing Sportech customers, with Quantum System pari-mutuel betting software and a digital platform for Internet betting, the company said in a press release.
The BetJet SL 2.5 will offer Chile’s customers self-service betting with cash, accounts, and vouchers, and will feature the intuitive ClearBet user interface.
In Spain, Sportech will provide new WAVE betting terminals to Hipodromo de la Zarzuela to replace the racetrack’s legacy terminals. The update is part of a global renovation plan at the Madrid thoroughbred racetrack, timed to coincide with its 75th anniversary celebration.
Complementing the new terminals will be a new feature designed in collaboration with Hipodromo de la Zarzuela that will enable the use of one-day paperless vouchers. Racetrack customers will now be able to use their own smartphones or tablets to bet at the racetrack without the need to carry paper tickets or queue at teller windows.
“These sales speak not only to Sportech’s strengthening global presence, but also to the quality of our betting technologies,” said Andrew Gaughan, president of Sportech. “The adoption in particular of self-service betting, and tools like the paperless voucher, are perfectly consistent with Sportech’s goal of helping our customers move toward a paperless betting experience using the players’ own mobile devices to ultimately make betting more convenient and efficient.”
