History is being made in Nevada this summer, as for the primary time ever its state's residents and tourists may be able to wager at the world's largest race and sports events in one mobile application. Over the last month, Boyd Gaming's B Connected Sports & Race app -- powered by Miomni Gaming -- has allowed Boyd Gaming customers to bet on everything from the Triple Crown to the Euro 2016 soccer tournament.

"We are thrilled to supply the primary mobile sports wagering app in Nevada to incorporate pari-mutuel horse betting," said Miomni Gaming CEO Mike Venner. "Miomni's technology may help introduce the game of horse racing to a complete new generation of fans."

Any adult with a sensible phone and a Boyd Gaming race account can now wager daily on races from the largest tracks within the U.S., from anywhere within the state of Nevada. New customers can join a race account at seven Boyd Gaming sports books around the Las Vegas Valley - the Orleans, Gold Coast, Suncoast, Sam's Town, California, Fremont and Main Street Station -- and after downloading the free app to their iOS or Android device, they may be able to start wagering immediately.

"This is a landmark moment for the industry, and for Boyd Gaming," said Bob Scucci, director of race and sports for Boyd Gaming's Nevada region. "Our customers have embraced the benefit and excitement of wagering on sports events on their mobile devices. Today, we're proud to be the primary in Nevada to supply the similar level of functionality and versatility to horse bettors with the B Connected Sports & Race app."

Miomni spent greater than a year developing and testing the appliance. Its award-winning design team created a simple, intuitive user experience that allows users to quickly place wagers, from simple Win / Place / Show bets to exotics akin to exactas, trifectas and Daily Doubles. Any bet that a patron could make at a track or sports book can now be made on a mobile device including boxes, keys and wheels.

For the last several weeks, Boyd Gaming's Nevada customers has been capable of wager on races from greater than a dozen tracks from across the country, all from the relief in their lounge sofa or pool-side lounge chair. To make sure the broadest track coverage, Miomni is operating closely with Las Vegas Dissemination Company (LVDC), the exclusive pari-mutuel merchant for Nevada's gaming industry.

"LVDC is worked up for bettors as a way to wager on their mobile phone," said LVDC President Greg Wright. "WE'RE proud to team up with Miomni and the industry to expand and enhance pari-mutuel wagering."

Future versions of the Race and Sports app will include video, enabling customers to look at live races and replays from throughout the app.
