Scientific Games is set to bring a stellar line-up of industry- leading innovation, ground-breaking technology and a significant new digital offering to the Indian Gaming Tradeshow & Convention, hosted by the National Indian Gaming Association (NIGA) in Las Vegas April 17 to 20.
Scientific Games will have two product verticals represented in its impressive display at stand 934, showcasing revolutionary gaming and systems products of SG Gaming, as well as the cutting-edge digital and sportsbook products of newly formed SG Digital.
“We are at a watershed moment in our company’s history,” said Scientific Games Chief Executive Officer and President Kevin Sheehan, pictured. “Over the last year, our teams across the globe have been working continuously to ensure that we maintain our position as industry leaders, and by combining Scientific Games’ portfolio of technology platforms, systems, content and services with NYX’s strengths as one of the fastest growing B2B real-money digital gaming and sports betting platforms in the world, we’re creating a pioneering proposition across all sectors.
“We’re excited to present our innovations and the opportunities that they offer to both our customers and the wider industry at NIGA.”
