Kambi has signed an agreement to provide its online and on-property sportsbook to Mohegan Sun, MGE’s signature US integrated entertainment resort located in Connecticut.
One of the most successful integrated resort casino and gaming destinations in the western hemisphere and one of only two Native American tribes operating commercial casinos in Connecticut, Mohegan Sun was introduced in 1996.
It has since built a global reputation for its first class gaming and entertainment facilities, consistently being ranked among the world’s top resort and entertainment destinations.
The 3.5m sq.ft Mohegan Sun property is situated in south-eastern Connecticut, where 60 per cent of the state’s tourism is located, and boasts both Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sky, a state-of-the-art poker room and three major entertainment venues.
Following a competitive process, MGE selected Kambi in part due to its track-record of lawful and responsible delivery in the US, including the quality and flexibility of its sports wagering products, trading and risk management capabilities and unrivalled speed to market – both online and on-property.
Kristian Nylén, Kambi CEO, said: “Kambi’s strategy in the US is to partner with the biggest and best gaming operators each state has to offer. In Mohegan Sun, not only have we partnered with one of the two largest casinos in Connecticut, but also one of the leading gaming and entertainment destinations across the whole of the country.”
Aviram Alroy, VP of interactive gaming for Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, said: “Mohegan Sun's goal is to utilise our brand and strong presence in the state and after a long vetting process, we found that Kambi was best positioned to complement that, as they're the most sophisticated and comprehensive Sportsbook out there.
"That, along with a highly experienced and responsive team, placed Kambi well above the competition in the selection of a sports betting strategic partner in Connecticut."
The deal expands Kambi’s roster of customers in the US, with DraftKings, Rush Street Interactive, Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment and 888 already offering the Kambi Sportsbook in New Jersey and/or Pennsylvania.
