Scientific Games Corp. and Hard Rock International have extended their online gambling relationship as the state of Ohio, where Hard Rock operates a casino in Cincinnati, moves full steam head toward online/mobile and retail sports gambling.
According to a joint announcement, Hard Rock will use Scientific Games’ technologies dubbed OpenSports and OpenGaming “across regulated markets in the U.S.” For now, the pair are doing business together in Iowa and New Jersey, according to the presser.
Hard Rock is expected to operate a new retail casino in Northwest Indiana as soon as next year.
Scientific Games is the exclusive sports gambling partner for the Hard Rock brand. Previously, Hard Rock was partnered with Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) in a deal that dated to 2018.
