With the company's acquisition of the NYX Gaming Group now complete, ICE 2018 is set to be the most exciting to date for Scientific Games and marks a year of inspired innovation across the company. For the first time, Scientific Games will have two impressive stands at ICE, with its revolutionary gaming and lottery products showcased at N1-560 and the newly combined, forward-thinking SG Interactive and NYX Gaming Group's digital and sports betting capabilities displayed at N3-130.
Scientific Games Chief Executive Officer and President Kevin Sheehan said: "We are at a watershed moment in our company's history.
"Over the last year, our teams across the globe have been working continuously to ensure that we maintain our position as industry leaders, and by combining Scientific Games' portfolio of technology platforms, systems, content and services with NYX's strengths as one of the fastest growing B2B real-money digital gaming and sports betting platforms in the world, we're creating a pioneering proposition across all sectors.
"We're excited to present our innovations and the opportunities that they present to both our customers and the wider industry at ICE."
World Leader in Digital and Sports Betting
As digital and sports betting content, services and platforms continue to drive consumer engagement, and with future regulatory developments expected to provide significant new opportunities, ICE represents the perfect occasion to showcase the combined strength of SG Interactive and NYX's world-class products and leadership across iGaming, iLottery and sports betting platforms.
The newly combined SG Interactive and NYX Gaming Group will unite for an unprecedented showing of captivating titles, revolutionary technologies, and innovative platforms. The Digital division will showcase NYX's leading Open Gaming System (OGS), which allows licensees to leverage the best-of-breed, multi-vendor casino content from around the world, offering customers the widest portfolio of content available, with access to over 2,000 game titles.
Also, Scientific Games' top-tier real-money gaming content library will be highlighted, including player-favorite brands such as Rainbow Riches, Sword of Destiny®, and Lock it Link®, along with globally recognizable licensed gaming brands. The division's Omni-channel content portfolio will demonstrate how Scientific Games can reach players wherever and whenever they want to play. The Digital group will also showcase its proven Remote Game Server ("RGS") game library with recent high-performing launches, new portrait mode content and widely popular titles.
Importantly, OpenBet®, the market leading sports betting platform, will be center stage. OpenBet delivers a scalable and reliable performance for the world's biggest operators. Its platform processes an unprecedented number of bets, setting a record at the 2017 Grand National where it processed 68,000 peak bets-per-minute.
OpenBet will launch its world-class data services and product modules, including the innovative Managed Trading Service (MTS), an end-to-end solution designed to allow operators to choose their level of support, either by adding MTS to their existing sportsbook or taking the complete solution to focus on growing their business; new 'Insights' data service that allows operators to compare their performance against the market and suggest optimization improvements; as well as the new 'Tickers' filtering tool that shows real-time activity across an operator's product portfolio.
Revolutionary Games and Cutting-Edge Cabinets Enhance Player Experience
Supporting its dynamic licensed brands, Scientific Games will feature the thrilling JAMES BOND Experience, with its CASINO ROYALE game on the new Gamefield™ 2.0 platform.
