IGT brand Everi this week announced a seven-year agreement with Churchill Downs Incorporated to use the company’s CashClub services and additional FinTech solutions.
CDI will roll out a range of Everi FinTech products across its live and historical racing entertainment venues and regional gaming properties. Included are ATM, debit, credit and check services, as well as Everi Compliance anti-money laundering technology, and a suite of solutions designed to optimize back-end gaming operations.
“The FinTech agreement with Everi represents a tremendous opportunity for our customers,” CDI President and Chief Operating Officer Bill Mudd said in statement. “In addition to advancing our financial technology capabilities, the partnership enhances Title 31 compliance and strengthens our operational excellence. Everi’s technology, scale, and expertise align seamlessly with our growth strategy and will help us deliver the innovative, secure, and seamless experiences our customers expect and deserve.”
The agreement builds on a relationship between IGT, Everi and CDI, as Everi’s BeOn Venue Platform powers the Churchill Downs Racetrack mobile app, and IGT provides historical horse racing games and hardware.
“As an iconic brand across gaming and sports and entertainment, Churchill Downs aligns with our philosophy of providing unique patron experiences,” said IGT CEO FinTech Darren Simmons. “We are pleased to enhance their customer journeys and gaming operations with our robust FinTech solutions that offer more diversity in transaction types, process more transactions, and drive more value to the floor than any other supplier in the industry.”
In a news release, it was stated that by combining Everi’s FinTech innovation with IGT’s global infrastructure, operators can benefit from a flexible, modular foundation that delivers smarter data, stronger compliance, and personalized engagement at every touchpoint.
