US – William Hill assumes operations of Golden Entertainment’s sportsbooks
By Phil - 18 February 2019
William Hill is now operating all Golden Entertainment race and sports book operations in Nevada. The expanded partnership provides bettors access to William Hill’s innovative wagering technology, including its award-winning mobile sports betting app and live InPlay wagering menu.
The new terms extend William Hill’s relationship with Golden Entertainment to include race and sportsbook operations at Arizona Charlie’s Decatur and Arizona Charlie’s Boulder in Las Vegas, Aquarius Casino Resort in Laughlin and the new, state-of-the-art race and sports book at The STRAT Hotel, Casino and SkyPod on the Las Vegas Strip scheduled to open in late March.
“We are excited to continue expanding our relationship with William Hill, which has a proven sports wagering platform not only in Nevada but around the world. We look forward to growing our business in Nevada and other jurisdictions through this partnership,” said Steve Arcana, COO of Golden Entertainment, Inc.
“The addition of the four new casino resorts marks an exciting new chapter in our relationship with Golden Entertainment. We look forward to working together to offer sports fans an amazing experience for many years to come in Nevada and elsewhere as opportunities arise,” said Joe Asher, CEO of William Hill US.
The agreement expands upon Golden Entertainment’s existing partnership with William Hill, which includes operating the race and sports books at Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Gambling Hall and full-service kiosks at Gold Town Casino – Pahrump, and Lakeside Casino & RV Park in Pahrump, as well as depositing kiosks at approximately 80 Golden Entertainment wholly-owned taverns and third-party-distributed gaming locations throughout Nevada. William Hill will also continue to operate the race and sports books at Edgewater and Colorado Belle casino resorts in Laughlin, following Golden Entertainment’s recent acquisition of the properties.
William Hill and Golden Entertainment will also pursue sports wagering opportunities in Montana and Maryland, subject to enabling legislation within these states. Golden Entertainment currently operates distributed gaming across Montana in approximately 300 locations and owns Rocky Gap Casino Resort in Maryland.
