In a statement the company said it expects to launch Wynn online in The Great Lakes State alongside the first regulated online gambling operators in November 2020, subject to all regulatory approvals.

Together with a range of internet casino games developed by GAN and/or aggregated from third parties, the supplier will publish third-party sports betting content procured from a third-party sports betting content provider augmented by Wynn’s strategic partner Betbull Limited.

Jeffrey B Berman, Chief Commercial Officer of GAN, commented: “We look forward to powering the Wynn brand in Michigan with our highly optimized technology platform and enabling Wynn to efficiently invest their marketing capital to attract loyal sports betting and igaming players. We are pleased to onboard Wynn, with its national casino brand and substantial Michigan-region patron base, as a major operator client and are excited at the opportunity presented by potential roll-outs in multiple additional states in the future.”
