Playtech, a global leading gaming provider, has officially entered West Virginia, marking its fourth regulated iGaming state in the United States. This release signifies Playtech's further strategic deepening in the U.S. market, collaborating with renowned operators such as Rush Street Interactive, DraftKings, and BetMGM to offer a diverse range of gaming content including casino, random number generation (RNG), and live entertainment.
Playtech has extensive partnerships in the global gaming market, having recently formed significant collaborations with France's Pari Mutuel Urbain, New Jersey's Hard Rock Digital, and Ontario's High Roller in Canada. Jonathan Doubilet, Vice President of U.S. Business Operations at Playtech, emphasized at the press conference: "Entering West Virginia reflects our steadfast commitment to providing innovative and responsible entertainment experiences, while ensuring advanced technological support for our partners. Supporting all regulated market customers remains our core mission."
Gaming America conducted an exclusive interview with Doubilet, exploring in detail how Playtech meets the growing U.S. iGaming needs with its flexible and scalable solutions.
Currently, seven states in the U.S., including Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, and Connecticut, have legalized iGaming. The American Gaming Association predicts that by 2024, the total revenue from commercial gaming will reach $72.4 billion, with iGaming revenue expected to be nearly $8 billion. Even in some unregulated areas, alternative forms of play such as lotteries and prediction markets show strong potential, highlighting the broad prospects of the online gaming market.
