The Snoqualmie Indians were one of 15 Washington tribes to receive approval for sports betting from the state’s gambling commission.
"Extending our sports betting momentum to Washington state with Snoqualmie Casino is another significant milestone for the IGT PlaySports team," said Enrico Drago, IGT PlayDigital Senior Vice President. "IGT looks forward to helping the casino establish a best-in-class sports betting program and expand gaming experiences for its patrons and sports fans through our proven PlaySports technology and services."
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee approved gaming compacts for all 15 tribes last week. The compacts are now under federal approval.
Tribes will be allowed to offer retail sports betting and mobile sports betting on casino premises.
Snoqualmie Casino is located 30 minutes west of Seattle and boasts 1,700 slot games, 50+ table games and a poker room.
"As Seattle's closest casino, Snoqualmie Casino is thrilled to offer our patrons new types of gaming experiences backed by IGT's proven PlaySports solution," said Stanford Le, Snoqualmie Casino Chief Executive Officer. "IGT's leading sports betting platform, products, trading advisory services and on-premise mobile solution will allow us to quickly and easily deploy an exceptional localized sports betting program. As the closest sportsbook to the Seahawks' and Mariners' stadiums, expanding our offering to include sports betting will enable us to further engage sports fans at our casino and complement the popular Seahawks Pit, our immersive Seahawks-branded table game experience."
