The
Muckleshoot Tribe will be launching an system that will allow gamblers to place real-money bets over the internet through a mobile app.
The app, set to debut this fall, will feature Class II games like bingo and pull tabs. While bets can be placed from anywhere, a player must be at the
Muckleshoot Casino in Washington state to buy games and to collect winnings, according to a
press release.
“Being first to the market is relatively easy, but consistently being first to the market with innovative technology that makes it all about the guest is where we set ourselves apart,” Conrad Granito, the general manager of the casino, said in the release.
The unique platform is a product of Playport Gaming Systems. "Playport is a closed loop system with all games purchased and all prizes paid on tribal lands," the
company's website reads.
According to CalvinAyre.Com and GeekWire, Playport systems are already in use in Mexico. The partnership with the Muckleshoot Tribe marks the firm's first deployment in the U.S.
