The latest Arizona sports betting partnership links Southern Arizona-based Desert Diamond Casinos with provider Kambi Group.

The casino, an enterprise of the Tohono O’odham Nation, has locations in Tucson, Glendale and Sahuarita. As part of its deal with Kambi, Desert Diamond Casinos will open in-person sports books at its three locations later this year, then launch online sportsbooks.

Kambi Group is a business-to-casinos gaming operator that offers odds compiling, customer intelligence and risk management solutions to casino operators. The Malta-based company is licensed to operate in its home country, as well as Australia, Philippines, Romania, Sweden, the UK, and the United States.

The plan is for Desert Diamond Casinos to use Kambi Group’s kiosks and “Bring Your Own Device” technology to provide customers a top-notch gaming experience.

“We are very proud to partner with Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment, a deal which further strengthens Kambi’s strong relationship with tribal casino operators,” Kristian Nylén, Kambi Chief Executive Officer, said in a company press release.

“We look forward to working with them closely to deliver high-quality and exciting sports betting experiences to both its on-property patrons and online customers in the state of Arizona.”

Desert Diamond Casinos & Entertainment CEO Mike Bean said in the release his company is excited to partner with Kambi Group on a variety of projects going forward.

“We are delighted to sign this multi-year agreement with Kambi, which has a proven track record in sportsbook provision across the globe,” Bean said in the release. “This exciting partnership provides Desert Diamond with the ability to leverage its long standing, well-regarded brand to provide our guests with a leading sports betting product across multiple channels.”
