International Game Technology (IGT), a multinational producer of slot machines and gambling tech, has signed a partnership deal with Nisqually Red Wind Casino, a tribally-owned gambling venue in Olympia, Washington. As per the agreement, IGT will power the casino with its cutting-edge sports betting solutions.

Nisqually Red Wind Casino to Benefit from IGT’s Solutions

The deal will see IGT power its new partner with the IGT PlaySports platform. The provider will also allow the casino to run IGT PlaySports kiosks at its venue. Lastly, the deal will let Nisqually Red Wind Casino work with IGT’s trading advisory team and improve its offer.

Conrad Granito, general manager of Nisqually Red Wind Casino, is delighted to work with IGT.

A few days ago, IGT posted its financial results for the second quarter of the year. The results showed that the company’s progress came to a halt as it experienced multiple declines across the board. Even IGT’s over-performing segments were offset by significant losses. The losses, sadly, represent a year-on-year decline for the company.
