Hard Rock expands digital profile with GiG sportsbook

Gaming Innovation Group (GiG) and Hard Rock International have expanded their existing digital services partnership, moving to add a new omni-channel sportsbook product to its existing online casino platform.

First announced in June 2018, Hard Rock selected European online gambling technology group GiG as its lead digital services partner, charged with delivering an online casino platform for its regulated state of New Jersey operations.

The successful launch of HardRockCasino.com (July 2018), an NJ asset which has generated $1 million in revenues, sees both parties move to expand their existing relationship.
