Delaware North partners with Miomni for sports betting JV
Two partners to create sports betting and online casino platform for B2C and B2B purposes
Delaware North has announced a new joint venture with UK-based sports betting operator Miomni.
The JV will see the two develop a B2B and B2C sports betting product that will be used by Delaware North in its venues and offered up to operators in other states.
The platform will also be extended to online casino in states where permitted.
The partnership’s first sports betting operation will go live in West Virginia at some point in October at Delaware North’s Wheeling Island and Mardi Gras properties.
Miomni is best known for powering sports betting apps for the majority of Las Vegas casinos.
Delaware North operates casinos in Arizona, New York, Illinois, Ohio, West Virginia and Arkansas.
Brian Hansberry, president of Delaware North’s gaming division, said in a statement: “Leaders in West Virginia were proactive in positioning the state for sports wagering, so Delaware North, with two casinos in West Virginia, is now very much part of a first wave of operators.
“We think that this unique positioning – combined with our professional sports relationships, our ownership and operation of TD Garden in Boston, and our significant hotel and restaurant holdings – will entice other casino companies to want to explore the opportunities this partnership can present them.”
Delaware North’s large stadium estate is thought to have major potential for sports betting kiosks and machines, pending relevant legislation.
Miomni CEO Mike Venner added: “Miomni is the chosen technology provider behind many of Nevada’s leading online sportsbooks because we designed the platform to be flexible, easy to use and reliable, with innovative features designed specifically to engage and entertain US sports fans.”
