Entering the US Retail Sports Betting Market:
This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both Playtech and Gold Rush Amusements as they make their debut in the US retail sports betting landscape. Playtech’s prior experience in the US igaming market positions it well to leverage its expertise in this new endeavor.

Gold Rush’s Vision for Expansion:
Rick Heidner, owner and manager of Gold Rush Amusements, expressed excitement about the partnership with Playtech. He highlighted their joint effort to introduce innovative content and best-in-class software to Ohio’s sports betting enthusiasts.

Playtech’s Legal Dispute with Caliplay:
In a separate context, Playtech has sought clarification from English courts regarding its dispute with Caliplay, a joint venture with Mexico’s Caliente. The dispute revolves around Caliplay’s right to redeem an additional services fee through an option. Playtech contends that this option had a stipulated expiration date based on the audited accounts of Caliplay. The outcome of this legal process will shed light on the resolution of the disagreement.
The collaboration between Playtech and Gold Rush Amusements in the retail sports betting market signifies a strategic alliance that brings cutting-edge technology and innovation to Ohio’s gaming landscape.
