Everi Holdings Inc, a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, player loyalty solutions, and bingo, today announced the expansion of its TournEvent® platform into Historical Horse Racing markets with a debut installation at Gate City Casino.

This launch marks a milestone in Everi’s ongoing commitment to emerging markets across North America. The introduction of TournEvent into the HHR market brings cutting-edge slot tournament capabilities to players at Gate City Casino, enhancing the gaming landscape with a unique competitive experience.

By bringing TournEvent to Gate City Casino, Everi continues to expand its presence and support in the HHR market, offering players an electrifying tournament experience in this new venue.

Gate City Casino in Nashua, New Hampshire, features more than 500 HHR machines and other gaming and hospitality amenities. It is owned and operated by global hospitality and entertainment company Delaware North, which acquired the property in 2022 and completed the addition of HHR gaming in 2023.

These efforts are indicative of Everi’s dedication to supporting the growth and success of new gaming markets with state-of-the-art solutions while expanding TournEvent’s reach to meet the evolving demands of the gaming industry.”

Our players remain eager for competitive play, and based on Everi’s nationwide success with TournEvent, we know players will enjoy the incredible atmosphere during these tournaments.”

Jeff Lind, president for Exacta Systems, said: “Everi has provided their dynamic library of award-winning games on the Exacta Connectâ system for nearly two years now. The expansion of TournEvent, enhanced for HHR play, is another exciting chapter in our combined efforts to bring players new experiences while maintaining the industry’s highest level of customer support.

Everi Holdings Inc., a leading provider of casino gaming content and technology solutions, has recently announced the expansion of its popular TournEvent® platform to cater to the growing historical horse racing (HHR) market. This move comes as Everi continues to innovate and adapt to the changing landscape of the gaming industry.

Historical horse racing is a form of pari-mutuel betting that allows players to wager on previously run horse races. The outcome of each race is determined by a random number generator, making it a game of chance rather than skill. This unique form of gambling has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in states where traditional horse racing is not legal.

Everi’s TournEvent® platform, which was originally designed for slot tournaments, has been expanded to offer a wide range of HHR games and features. The platform now includes a variety of tournament formats, leaderboards, and promotional tools specifically tailored to the needs of HHR operators. This expansion will allow Everi to better serve the needs of its customers in the HHR market and provide an engaging and exciting gaming experience for players.

In a statement announcing the expansion, Everi’s Executive Vice President of Sales, David Lucchese, highlighted the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction. “We are excited to bring the proven success of our TournEvent® platform to the historical horse racing market,” said Lucchese. “By expanding our platform to include HHR games and features, we are able to offer operators a comprehensive solution that will drive player engagement and increase revenue.”

The expanded TournEvent® platform is just one example of Everi’s dedication to staying ahead of the curve in the gaming industry. The company has a long history of developing cutting-edge technology solutions that help operators maximize their revenue and provide an exceptional gaming experience for players. With this latest expansion, Everi is poised to further solidify its position as a leader in the gaming technology space.

As the popularity of historical horse racing continues to grow, operators in this market will be looking for innovative solutions to attract and retain players. Everi’s expanded TournEvent® platform offers a comprehensive solution that is sure to meet the needs of HHR operators and players alike. With its proven track record of success and commitment to innovation, Everi is well-positioned to capitalize on the opportunities presented by this rapidly expanding market.
