After a competitive bidding process, ilani, developed by Salishan-Mohegan LLC in collaboration with the Cowlitz Indian Tribe, chose Scientific Games as its principal casino technology partner for the April 2017 opening of the new casino resort located in southwest Washington State, just north of Portland, Oregon, directly off Interstate 5.

That is why, after years of a trusted partnership with our partner, Mohegan Sun, we chose to invest in Scientific Games solutions for ilani. Our confidence in Scientific Games stems from the caliber and breadth of solutions they can provide for our entire casino floor, their large portfolio of trailblazing products that drive revenue and business efficiency, and most of all, their people, who exhibit an unwavering focus on customer service and innovation."
