In addition, following a strengthening of its supply chain, Kambi has in place hardware partners ready to meet increased kiosk demand in 2019.
This week, Kambi is preparing the ‘DraftKings Sportsbook at Resorts’ launch, which will feature a dozen betting kiosks, five over-the-counter points of sale and customised digital signage, providing Resorts with the most modern land-based wagering experience in New Jersey.
The launch will quickly be followed by Kambi’s debut in Pennsylvania, with Kambi ready to installits on-property Sportsbook across three major casinos in the Keystone State, cementing Kambi’sposition as the number one sports betting partner in both New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Max Meltzer, Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We’re very excited about bringing our high-quality Sportsbook to brick and mortar establishments in the US, where operators are recognising the excellence of our on-property product, both from a technology and player experience perspective. In recent years, Kambi has invested heavily in developing a land-based solution that is on par with our online Sportsbook and, as a result, we now have the most advanced product on the market, not just in the US, but globally.
“This is one of the key reasons why the likes of DraftKings, Rush Street Interactive and Parx Casino have chosen to offer our on-property product and why we are quickly becoming the number one choice for online and on-property sportsbooks on both sides of the Atlantic.”
In addition to the DraftKing’s launch in New Jersey, Kambi also has an on-property agreement in place with Rush Street Interactive, part of the group which owns both the SugarHouse Casino and Rivers Casino in Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, Kambi last week announced it had formed a partnership with Greenwood Gaming & Entertainment, owners of the largest gaming complex in Pennsylvania, Parx Casino.
