IGT and Boyd Gaming extend sports betting deal in Nevada through 2028

International Game Technology (IGT) has signed a new three-year agreement with Boyd Gaming to continue providing its PlaySports platform for retail and mobile sports betting in Nevada. The deal extends their partnership through August 2028.

Boyd Gaming will also continue to offer IGT’s PlaySports kiosks at its 10 retail sportsbook locations across the state. The new agreement builds on IGT and Boyd Gaming's long-standing sports betting technology partnership that started in 2018.

"Boyd Gaming is pleased to announce our decision to continue powering our retail and mobile sportsbooks in Nevada with IGT PlaySports technology," said Bob Scucci, Vice President of Race & Sports Operations for Boyd Gaming.

"As the core technology of our sports betting offering in Nevada, IGT PlaySports' platform enables us to evolve Boyd Sports in ways that deliver incremental value to our players and seamlessly scale our offering to address new business opportunities."

IGT’s Senior Vice President of Sports Betting, Joe Bertolone, also emphasized the strategic importance of the Nevada market. “IGT PlaySports looks forward to continuing our close partnership with Boyd Gaming in Nevada for three additional years and helping them engage players across channels in the most mature, competitive sports betting market in the U.S.,” he stated.

"IGT PlaySports continues to invest in and grow our footprint in Nevada. The performance, reliability and scalability of our technology stack and self-service betting technologies ensure our customers benefit from the most comprehensive B2B solution in North America," Bertolone added.

Beyond the Silver State, IGT PlaySports technology also powers Boyd Gaming’s retail sportsbooks in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

IGT PlaySports was last year recognized as the “Sportsbook Platform Provider of the Year” at the 2024 EGR North America Awards.
