Boyd Gaming launches sports wagering app

LAS VEGAS -- Boyd Gaming Corporation launched a sports wagering application for mobile devices Tuesday, allowing customers in Nevada to bet on college and professional games and events.

The application — B Connected Sports — is now available as a mobile app on iOS devices through the iTunes Store and on Android devices at BConnectedSports.com. The application is offered through the company’s B Connected player loyalty program.

Customers can initially enroll at the six Boyd Gaming sports book locations — The Orleans, Gold Coast, Suncoast, Sam’s Town, Fremont and California Hotel. After placing a balance on their account, customers can wager through the app at their convenience.

Winnings will be credited to the account and can be cashed out at any Boyd Gaming sports book. Boyd Gaming joined several other sports book operations in Nevada by offering a sports wagering mobile application.

“Our customers’ favorite types of bets have been included in B Connected Sports, including parlay bets,” said Bob Scucci, Boyd Gaming’s director of race and sports books.

Scucci said the application was released after “a large amount of customer testing feedback.”
