Per the terms of the agreement, IGT will provide the property with its market-leading PlaySports platform, self-service PlaySports Kiosks and turnkey services.

“IGT PlaySports has been processing sports wagers in Colorado since the first day of legalised sports betting in the State and we look forward to extending that momentum with Ute Mountain Casino.”
Meanwhile, IGT is expanding its US sports betting footprint to Washington to power sports betting at Snoqualmie Casino in Snoqualmie.
