Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack in West Virginia has partnered with London-based Miomni Gaming to provide a turnkey retail and mobile sportsbook, as Miomni does for 50 casinos in Nevada. A fall launch date is planned, according to owners Delaware North.
The service will also be offered by Delaware North’s other West Virginia casino, Mardi Gras Casino and Resort, near Charleston. Delaware North also operates casinos in Arizona, Illinois, Ohio, New York and Arkansas.
Together the companies will offer turnkey sports betting technology to other casinos all over the U.S.A.
The state Lottery Commission has issued a temporary license for Miomni, which has provided the same service in Nevada for six years.
The two casinos aim at a casual yet “high energy” sports atmosphere. Kim Florence, regional president and general manager for both casinos, added, “We think this will become a great draw to bring people from across the state and outside of West Virginia to experience these exciting resorts.”
The company’s vice president of marketing for its gaming division, Luisa Woods, added, “The partnership with Miomni will allow us to serve a new market of casino operators anxious to benefit from gaming expansion cost-efficiently, while increasing the visibility of their brand, deepening their customer relationships and enhancing the quality of their service offerings.”
