Omnichannel sports betting and iGaming platform provider FSB has reached an agreement with United Tote to showcase their new state-of-the art retail product at the prestigious hardware suppliers booth during next month’s Global Gaming Expo (G2E).

Fresh from a recently announced sports wagering agreement in South Dakota, FSB will see their next generation retail offering elevated into prominence at the popular United Tote booth during the first week of October. In return, FSB will continue to deploy United Tote’s leading self-service sports betting kiosks at their own G2E booth space, cementing the partnership further.

Powered by a single-view cross-vertical platform, the FSB retail solution gives operators full visibility on real-time liabilities, remote terminal balance management and cutting-edge customisable front-end displays. These features are further supported by a comprehensive suite of real-time reports that empower FSB’s customers to optimize their offering at rapid pace.

Bob Akeret, Vice President of Operations, North America, at FSB, said:

“It’s a tremendous honor for us to partner with United Tote and have our retail front ends showcased at their booth at G2E. We’ve worked closely with them this summer at NIGA, OIGA and WIGA and have benefitted from their world class maintenance and support services. Their hardware will once again be proudly showcased at our booth at G2E.

“United Tote lead the way when it comes to self-service betting kiosks and to have our solution exhibited at their booth during this major event is a huge vote of confidence in the quality of our offering.”

G2E will take place at Venetian Expo at Las Vegas between October 4-7.
