GAN has penned a deal with Red Rock Resorts which sees the casino operator field trial the STN Sports sportsbook platform at its portfolio of Station Casino properties.
Under the provisions of the agreement, GAN’s STN Sports will be rolled out across the Station Casino stable of properties, catalyzed by the certification of its GameStack 2.0 sportsbook platform.
Should the field trials yield successful results, Station Casinos plans to integrate a kiosk system for funding and placing wagers. It would also roll out the “Bring-Your-Own-Device” function, allowing bettors to build out their bet in the STN Sports app, before scanning it at the kiosk for activation.
Jason McCormick, Vice President of Race and Sports at Station Casinos, commented: “The arrival of the all-new STN Sports App, powered by GAN, brings an enhanced and personalized wagering experience for our guests and we look forward to continuing the rollout of our enhanced mobile product and introducing additional wagering options for our guests in the coming months.”
The STN Sports app offers what GAN labels “Nevada’s largest wagering menu”, as well as same-game parlay wagering options, higher parlay payouts and a single wallet for race and sports.
“We’re very excited to finally launch our platform in the Las Vegas locals’ market. We expect a successful launch as locals experience the innovative and cutting-edge experience that our platform brings,” stated GAN Interim CEO Seamus McGill.
“We are very grateful to have a premier partner like Station Casinos who have an unrivaled reputation in the Nevada market. We look forward to serving their guests and bringing a fun, safe and game-changing player experience.”
This development comes shortly after GAN revealed that McGill would step down as Chair, a move which is part of a wider shakeup at the top of the company.
McGill will continue in his interim CEO capacity until a permanent replacement is found, while David Goldberg will assume Chair duties.
It also comes as GAN works towards integrating into Sega Sammy Creation after an agreement was reached for a takeover late last year.
“It’s an honor to be elected to serve as GAN’s next Chairman and lead the Company toward a successful transaction close with Sega Sammy Creation Inc.,” said Goldberg.
“On behalf of the entire board of directors, I’d also like to thank Michael Smurfit for his commitment and leadership throughout his time on the board. We wish Michael well in his future endeavors.”
