IGT Launches CrystalBetting Terminals in Mississippi

Multinational gaming company, IGT, is revealing its latest VIP sports betting products in Mississippi this weekend, as it goes live with CrystalBetting terminals at Pearl River Resort, part of Choctaw Indians’ top casino brands.

By integrating IGT’s luxury sports betting terminals, the patrons of Golden Moon and Silver Star land-based venues will become the first operators in the world to enable pre-match as well as in-game sports wagering.

Offering a comfortable sports betting experience will include a 27-inch monitor, allowing each bettor to watch live sporting events and place a range of wagers. The terminal is equipped with a personal listening audio jack, USB charging port, convenient workstation and innovative hardware.

Top Innovative Gaming Technology

Back in 2018, Pearl River made a historic take on the sports betting industry, as it became the first tribal casino outside Nevada to incorporate IGT PlaySports platform. In the following months, the operator launched three more retail sportsbooks and expanded its network by adding self-service PlaySports Kiosks with mobile on-premise wagering.

Following a 90-day trial period, the CrystalBetting terminal will become part of the standard offering in reputable Mississippi casinos. On top of that, the provider has already established GLI Certification as well as Mississippi Choctaw Gaming Commission approval.

According to Neal Atkinson, director of table games at the venue, the company is proud to have partnered with IGT on a global level:

“We prioritize being on the forefront of sports betting innovation and providing our players choice and convenience for placing sports bets at our properties. Extending our sports betting offering to include IGT’s CrystalBetting Terminals elevates the player experience and gives our patrons yet another reason to choose Pearl River Resort for gaming entertainment.”

Concurrently, IGT chief commercial officer, Nick Khin added:

“By adding the CrystalBetting Terminal to its already impressive sports betting offering, Pearl River Resort is positioned to engage sports fans in new ways and to differentiate its offering.

IGT’s sports betting momentum in the U.S. market, paired with the player insights that we gained while testing the CrystalBetting Terminal, reinforce our confidence in the product’s capacity to deliver a compelling player experience that complements the entire IGT sports betting technology ecosystem.”
