Powering partner sportsbooks with stable, reliable technology, the Company saw more than 37.4 million bets throughout the festival, culminating in a strong turnout during the showcase Grand National race of 14.5 million bets.
The Aintree Grand National runs for three days every year as part of the National Hunt race calendar in the United Kingdom. This year, Scientific Games’ sportsbook customers processed more than 239 million account transactions, representing an increase of 8% over 2018.

Our sportsbook gives customers the assurance to continue growing their offering and player base while maintaining a stable solution that offers unmissable player experiences.
