A NetEnt deal with Churchill Downs is set to enhance its presence in the regulated New Jersey market.
Under the deal, NetEnt will now deliver its portfolio of online casino games to Churchill Downs, best known for its horseracing betting services.
Erik Nyman, managing director for the company’s NetEnt Americas business, said the addition of its games will become an “important contributor” to growth in online casino for Churchill Downs.
Earlier this year, Churchill Downs announced deals with SBTech and Golden Nugget to launch online gambling services in New Jersey.
Churchill Downs said it is targeting the first quarter 2019 to begin accepting legal wagers for sports betting and online gaming in New Jersey.
The NetEnt deal with Churchill Downs will come as a boost to the company, which in July insisted that it was “taking action” after a slowdown in the UK contributed towards disappointing revenue growth in the second quarter.
