Sports betting services provider Kambi Group has signed a multi-year partnership with Great Canadian Gaming to provide its on-property sportsbook solution to 10 of the operator’s casinos in the province of Ontario.
Under the terms of the agreement, Great Canadian will launch a Kambi-powered sportsbook across its portfolio of properties in the Canadian province, including one of Ontario’s newest land-based casinos, Pickering Casino Resort. Great Canadian operates 25 gaming, entertainment, and hospitality destinations across Canada, including a dozen casinos in Ontario.
In a press release, Kambi explained the operator will “benefit from a high-performance retail sportsbook solution that includes state-of-the-art betting kiosks with fully configurable digital signage functionality.” Furthermore, the partnership is expected to have a small positive financial impact on Kambi’s revenue in 2022, with a more material revenue impact from 2023.
