Global Payments Gaming Solutions has announced that Saracen Casino Resort in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, has selected its igaming solutions for its new sports betting app, BetSaracen.

Founded in 2019, Saracen Casino Resort provides a luxurious casino gaming experience in the heart of Arkansas. With an 80,000 square foot gaming area, 2300 slot machines, and nearly 40 table games, Saracen Gaming Resort is renowned for its in-person gaming. However, Saracen Casino Resort has its eyes on the future.

Earlier this year, the state of Arkansas legalized mobile sports betting, and gaming institutions are eager to offer a mobile solution. Saracen Casino Resort is breaking into the mobile gaming industry with BetSaracen, the state’s first mobile sports betting app.

Global Payments’ iGaming solutions allow casinos to leverage a multi-channel approach to connect online and brick-and-mortar gaming. Global Payments’ VIP Lightspeed platform powers funding and withdrawals for iGaming, while VIP Preferred e-check network allows users to effortlessly access funds from their checking account.

“With MoneyLine, we are giving our players the option of the fastest and most convenient way to make deposits using their favorite digital payment types or cash at participating retail locations in Arkansas.

Managing deposits and payouts is a complex process that requires technology designed specifically for the iGaming industry. PayNearMe has deep expertise in the gaming industry and worked closely with the Arkansas Gaming Commission to ensure MoneyLine is compliant with all applicable statutory requirements.
