December 23, 2018 Andrej Vidovic
Award-winning UK developer and supplier of B2B casino software, content and services, Game Network (GAN) has used the official press release published this week to announce the rolling out of a unique simulated online casino to be used by Mississippi’s Pearl River Resort.
This is the 14th Simulated Gaming Website launch of this kind in the US and will be available for visitors of three Pearl River casinos in Choctaw.
Upon launch, online casino will feature free-play slot titles supplied by NetEnt, Konami and Ainsworth Game Technology Limited.
On April 30th this year, GAN has announced the g of a strategic partnership with Mississippi’s Choctaw tribe of Indians that became their client of Simulated Gaming…
…The Band of Choctaw Indians owns and operates the Pearl River Resort and their interim president and CEO, William A. Johnson III, has said back in April that they have selected GAN for the proven success in helping casino properties to offer online gaming and that, “equipped with GAN’s Simulated Gaming, Pearl River will introduce its land-based properties to online audience.”
GAN has launched a Simulated Gaming Website according to scheduled timelines. Pearl River will be licensing the company’s US Patent in order to link the loyalty reward cards to players’ s so they can receive points triggered by patrons’ diverse online activities.
Comments GAN’s CEO Dermot Smurfit:
“Pearl River is one of America’s largest Native American casino resort properties, and the largest casino resort in Mississippi. This represents a brand new, strategic market for GAN, and we look forward to working with Pearl River to grow their Simulated Gaming business in the coming months. In the first half of 2018, GAN grew gross purchases by players by over 52% due to both new launches and existing expansion.”
He added that GAN has successfully launched Simulated Gaming websites for 14 clients in 11 states…
…and that this segment can be scaled through online/land-based marketing activity and also through working with our casino partners to expand interaction and engagement.
Game Network’s December began with another frontier breached…
The company has forged an alliance with Goldbet, Italy’s major casino operator that contributes to almost half of this country’s entire gaming revenue.
Merely days prior to that, Malta’s slot supplier Booming Games penned a deal with GAN that will see their entire gaming suite distributed to GameSTACK platform. Commenting on this, managing director Giuseppe Gardali said:
“We are constantly looking to add unique content to our platform to provide our operators with the best gaming content. Booming Games’ wide range of slot games equipped with unique and innovative features will be a valuable addition to our platform.”
