SuzoHapp has partnered with Mohegan and RBY Gaming to install its sports betting terminals in the Canadian province of Ontario. The distributor has gained licensing approval from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), and will set up wagering terminals following sports betting launches at both Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara.
The company stated this move is part of SuzoHapp’s regional gaming and sports betting expansion plan.
SuzoHapp Vice President of Sales Todd Sims commented: “Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara are premier locations in the Ontario gaming and sports betting industries, and we are honored to partner with Fallsview Casino Resort, Casino Niagara and RBY on this project.”
Niagara Casinos President Richard Taylor expressed the company’s eagerness to join SuzoHapp in this collaboration and its excitement about launching in Ontario.
"We are very excited to partner with SuzoHapp as we prepare to launch sports betting at Fallsview Casino Resort and Casino Niagara," said Richard Taylor, President Niagara Casinos.
"With the changing landscape in gaming, we have been working collaboratively with the OLG, AGCO and the province and are excited to launch sports betting in Ontario. Our partnership with SuzoHapp will continue to elevate our offerings at Niagara Casinos."
Mohegan CEO and President Ray Pineault noted that the partnership aligns with the company’s strategic plans for continuing expansion.
He said: “As a leading global entertainment operator, it is imperative that we align strategically with brands who are innovative and provide our guests with state-of-the-art technology to enhance their experience.
“We are pleased to partner with SuzoHapp and to introduce their sports betting products to our properties in Niagara.”
The Ontario commercial market went live on April 4 and is the first Canadian province to offer iGaming to its residents. Until recently, local lotteries had traditionally dominated Canada’s gambling sector.
