LAS VEGAS – October 14, 2020 – Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) (“Scientific Games” or the “Company”) has extended its major partnership with BetMGM and the group’s associated brands in the U.S. BetMGM is a leading sports betting and iGaming joint venture between MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) and GVC Holdings (LSE: GVC).

Dylan Slaney, SVP Gaming, Digital for Scientific Games, said, “Extending our well-established partnership with BetMGM is a sign of our commitment to the U.S. iGaming market and successful collaboration between our companies.

“As part of the deal, we’ll be providing BetMGM with cutting-edge content and better game and player management tools - all to deliver the ultimate online casino experience to their player base. The work our teams have undertaken to establish OpenGaming as the go-to entertainment platform is second to none and we’re looking forward to working with the BetMGM team as they expand across the U.S.”

As part of the extended partnership, BetMGM will operate the Company’s OpenGaming product suite, including the Open Gaming System (OGS), which incorporates market-leading in-house content and third-party games. The operator will also have access to the latest player engagement tools including Free Spins and innovative jackpot features to drive their iGaming offering.
