A famous horse-racing event held behind closed doors for the first time since 1839 gave Scientific Games, through its OpenSports technology, the chance to deliver 50 million bets.
The Grand National steeplechase in the UK had all of its betting records broken with over 57,000 bets per minute, a 128 per cent increase against 2019.
The postponement of the 2021 on-course betting market through the pandemic meant that the 2021 Grand National was widely tipped to be the ultimate test of the robust nature of the OpenSports technology.
Major customers such as Sky Betting, Paddy Power, Betfair, Ladbrokes, Coral and William Hill all experienced significant increases in volume and relied upon OpenSports as a key part of their product offer.
