Jonathan Doubilet, Managing Director of Playtech USA said that the partnership with Gold Rusk “will bring our extensive experience in retail sports betting to the US market for the first time.”? He added that the company is confident that Ohio is the right place for Playtech to start explaining that the deal will leverage “our expertise and strong track record to deliver self-service betting kiosks across the state.
