International Game Technology this week announced a new three-year sports betting technology agreement with Boyd Gaming Corporation, with IGT’s PlaySports platform continuing to power Boyd Gaming’s retail and mobile sports betting offering in Nevada through August 2028.
The new agreement builds on IGT and Boyd Gaming’s sports betting technology partnership that started in 2018.

Boyd Gaming also will continue to offer IGT’s PlaySports kiosks at its 10 retail betting locations across Nevada.
“IGT PlaySports looks forward to continuing our close partnership with Boyd Gaming in Nevada for three additional years and helping them engage players across channels in the most mature, competitive sports betting market in the U.S.,” IGT Senior Vice President of Sports Betting Joe Bertoline said in a statement. “IGT PlaySports continues to invest in and grow our footprint in Nevada. The performance, reliability and scalability of our technology stack and self-service betting technologies ensure our customers benefit from the most comprehensive B2B solution in North America.”
IGT PlaySports technology also powers retail sportsbooks at Boyd Gaming-owned casinos in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
