"We appreciate Delaware North's access to the wonderful state of West Virginia. This is an ideal market for VIP Play, Inc. to expand into as part of our US expansion efforts. We welcome the addition of online casino - "iGaming" - to our list of offerings within the US and are excited to bring the VIP Play mobile app to West Virginia residents and visitors in 2025," Butch Cassidy, CEO and Chairman of the Bard at VIP Play, Inc., said.

As part of the deal with Delaware North, VIP Play will pay Delaware North a percentage of their online net gaming revenue. The percentage has not been revealed by the company in the deal.
