Software and services provider Nektan has signed a partnership deal with independent sports betting supplier Metric Gaming to bring its content to the US market.
Through their respective US-operating subsidiaries, Metric Gaming and Respin, Metric and Nektan will offer horse racing and sports betting services through Respin’s Rapid Games platform, the US casino gaming industry's only independently certified Class II (Protected Tribal Gaming Category) and Class III On-Premises Bring Your Own Device mobile platform.
Gary Shaw, interim CEO of Nektan, said: “With last week’s Supreme Court decision, the combination of Metric’s leading sports and race products, and Nektan's Rapid Games Mobile Casino, creates a large opportunity for both companies working in partnership.
“The sector will look to a combination of sports and casino and having a partner combining both will create additional opportunities for both companies.”
Martin de Knijff, CEO of Metric, said: “Last week’s Supreme Court decision signals a sea change in the US. We are impressed by the Rapid Games platform, and believe that its multi-device approach gives our state-of-the-art horse racing and sports betting counterparts a price and functionality advantage over legacy based competitors in both the retail and igaming spaces.”
