Kambi seals deal with Arizona casinos

Sports betting services provider Kambi Group has signed a multi-year deal with Desert Diamond Casinos of Arizona, US.

The multi-channel agreement with the Tohono O’odham Nation includes the provision of Kambi’s sportsbook to the Indians’ West Valley, Sahuarita (pictured) and Tucson casinos with a mobile sportsbook to follow.

The nation is the largest tribal operator in the state, one of 10 Arizona Indian tribes that was in August licensed to offer sports wagering.

The deal will see Kambi provide its full suite of high-performance sports betting technology, initially rolling out on-property across the operator’s West Valley, Sahuarita and Tucson properties towards the end of this year with an online sportsbook to follow under the newly-created entity of Desert Diamond Mobile.

The casinos will house the Kambi kiosk and Bring Your Own Device technology and will be able to access the Kambi in-event combinability product that was launched in September for the start of the NFL season.

Both Kristian Nylén, Kambi CEO, and Mike Bean, CEO at Desert Diamond, praised the new partnership as key to the expansion of Kambi in the US and to enhancing the experience of the casino customers.
