To this end, Playtech has inked multiple deals with Rush Street Interactive, DraftKings, and BetMGM for its gaming content. These operators now offer Playtech's casino, RNG, and live content to players across the state.

He also stressed their goal of equipping partners with cutting-edge gaming technology across all regulated regions they serve. These are initiatives that Playtech is aiming at to be a big-time player in the best online casino industry.

"The trust and confidence they place in us as an agile and scalable partner is what helps in meeting the demands of the ever-expanding US iGaming industry," Doubliet added.
