Scientific Games Corporation selected to provide the Oneida Indian Nation's three leading casinos in upstate New York with unrivaled sports betting player experiences through its OpenBet™ technology, upon the launch of New York's sports betting market. Scientific Games and the Oneida Indian Nation, owner of the Turning Stone Resort Casino, Yellow Brick Road Casino and Point Place Casino, have agreed that Scientific Games will bring its deep roots in casino gaming, and its strong record in supporting sports betting at leading casinos, to support Oneida's launch of its sportsbooks in New York as soon as sports betting is authorized in the state. Oneida will deploy SG Digital's sports betting technology platform, OpenBet, embedded with player centric technology, dynamic in-house pre-game and data feeds from its recent acquisition of Don Best Sports. Scientific Games and Oneida will submit the agreement to the National Indian Gaming Commission (NIGC) for review to ensure compliance with applicable laws. It will be among the first NIGC reviews of an Indian tribe's U.S. sports betting agreement. Scientific Games will leverage its comprehensive portfolio of sports solutions to ensure that the Oneida Indian Nation can offer all sports betting activities that become authorized in New York State. According to multiple analyst reports, New York State has the potential to be one of the largest states in terms of sports betting revenue. Scientific Games and Oneida share a common belief that market leaders will be determined by world-class player experiences built on stable and reliable technology. Oneida Indian Nation and Scientific Games anticipate that sports betting in New York may be authorized in 2019. The agreement lends early momentum to the partnership, allowing SG Digital and Turning Stone to prepare for an anticipated launch when the market opens.
