LAS VEGAS, Feb. 19, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific
Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the
"Company") announced that it has developed, and Kentucky Horse
Racing Commission (KHRC) has approved, their first generation of
Historical Horse Racing (HHR) machines.
Through a 3-way partnership with Churchill Downs Incorporated
(CDI) and Ainsworth Game Technology, Scientific Games will deliver
HHR games to two CDI gaming properties that will work on the
Ainsworth proprietary HHR system which utilizes race data under an
exclusive license with CDI. Derby City Gaming in Louisville, Kentucky will receive the first
delivery of SG games beginning in February 2020. Oak Grove
Racing and Gaming in Oak Grove,
Kentucky will receive its first delivery of machines when it
opens its gaming facilities later in 2020.
Historical racing machines allow players to wager on
previously-run horse races and to manually handicap the races using
handicapping information provided in the games, if the players so
choose. After a wager is placed, an animated replay of the
race finish is shown, and the results of the player's wager is
depicted as part of any entertaining game theme with cascading
symbols and spinning reels.
"Scientific Games makes some of the best-performing games in the
industry and we are delighted to add them to our Derby City and
Oak Grove properties," said
Austin Miller, Senior Vice
President, Gaming Operations for CDI. "The sheer depth of
their content library, along with their diverse and innovative
hardware portfolio, enables us to considerably expand our game
offering, giving our players the very best gaming action in the
market. Our guests will recognize the Scientific Games themes
and they will love the way the games play."
"We have enjoyed a great partnership with the CDI team, and are
excited to bring in Scientific Games to this unique partnership,"
added Ryan Comstock, Chief Operating
Officer for Ainsworth Game Technology. "The addition of SG games
and platforms on our proprietary HHR system will create an even
more robust gaming mix for both these properties."
Scientific Games will supply its most popular titles from
player-favorite slot series including 88 Fortunes, Tree of Wealth,
Quick Hit, Lock It Link, and Ultimate Fire Link, among
others. The games will be showcased on the Company's
innovative and top-performing TwinStar family of cabinet platforms,
including the Wave XL, J43, TwinStar 24/24, TwinStar Slant and 3
reel mechanical stepper.
"The team at Scientific Games is extremely excited to partner
with CDI and Ainsworth in this new venture," said Robert Parente, EVP and Chief Revenue Officer
for Scientific Games. "Both companies have been pioneers in
opening up this burgeoning new segment of the gaming market and we
are honored they have chosen to work with us in offering the very
best in player experiences."
