Scientific Games Corporation and Caesars Entertainment have extended their existing digital sports-betting partnership in preparation for the relaunch of the 2020-2021 major league sports seasons. The move follows recent mobile sports-wagering launches in Pennsylvania and Indiana and the launch of online casino gaming in Pennsylvania.

“We’re working side by side with Caesars Entertainment to deliver digital-casino and sports-betting products to their players across multiple states,” said Jordan Levin, Group CEO, Digital for Scientific Games.

In addition to extending the duration of their operating agreement, Scientific Games and Caesars Entertainment are partnering to bring digital sports betting and igaming experiences to players in Pennsylvania. Following Caesars’ successful January 2019 launch of The Book at Harrah’s Philadelphia, the operator has now gone live with a new online offering in Pennsylvania powered by Scientific Games’ OpenSport and OpenGaming products.

More recently, the companies launched the digital sports offering in Indiana, which follows on the heels of multiple Caesars retail launches in the third and fourth quarters of 2019.

“Scientific Games’ technology is not only highly scalable, but most importantly, it provides our players with feature rich content fully integrated with Caesars Rewards,” said Christian Stuart, Caesars Entertainment Executive Vice President of Gaming and Interactive Entertainment.
