Hard Rock launches mobile sportsbook in Iowa, powered by GiG

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) has launched a mobile friendly online sportsbook in Iowa for partner Hard Rock International. This is in addition to the over-the-counter solution on the casino floor at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City in Iowa which launched in September. 

Following launch, Chris Armes, Chief Information Officer at GiG said “The project went live smoothly after many weeks of hard work from both GiG and Hard Rock. We are pleased to entertain consumers with a safe and exciting first-class omnichannel sports betting experience.”

Hard Rock is now offering the same experience in Iowa to its consumers as it has already delivered in New Jersey, with an omni-channel sportsbook solution based on GiG’s modern and flexible technology.

At the time of signing the agreement with GiG, Kresimir Spajic, Senior Vice President of Online Gaming at Hard Rock International said, “We’re excited to extend our partnership with GiG to support sports betting in Iowa, and further grow our sportsbook portfolio.”  Jim Franke, General Manager of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City commented “Offering sports betting through GiG provides our players and guests a new level of engagement – we couldn’t be more thrilled to be launching in Iowa.”
