Kindred Group has selected Scientific Games as its technology partner for the US iGaming market. 

The three-year agreement will see Kindred deploy Scientific Games subsidiary SG Digital’s Open Platform System and Open Gaming System in the US. This will initially be confined to New Jersey, where SG Digital is already licensed, but is to be extended to other states as Kindred expands its US presence. 

Kindred will use the SG Digital solution to ensure a short time to market, with the company looking to go live in New Jersey in the near future. The operator has already secured a licensing partner in the state, pairing up with the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

“We are delighted to partner with SG Digital in the US, giving us swift access to the market and our coming US customers a truly great gambling experience on a top technology platform,” Kindred US senior vice president Manuel Stan said. 

“Kindred has always put the customer at the heart of our operations and ensuring that they can enjoy gambling in a safe, secure and stable environment is crucial for us.”

SG Digital senior vice president of gaming Dylan Slaney added: “This partnership signifies a bright future for SG Digital and Kindred in New Jersey. 

“The growing market will benefit greatly from our Open Gaming System and Open Platform System technologies, and we’re thrilled to work with Kindred,” he said.
