The agreement expands on Sightline’s existing delivery of cashless gaming solutions through its digital commerce platform Play+ and IGT’s suite of products, which includes the IGT ADVANTAGE casino management system, the Resort Wallet and IGTPay cashless payment solutions, and the PlaySports platform.

Since 2012, Sightline has aggressively expanded its patent portfolio, with the platform receiving over 20 local and international patents.
