Gaming supplier AGS announced its first game placements in Pennsylvania at Parx Casino in Bensalem, a suburb of Philadelphia. The games went live on the Parx casino floor last week, with more games slated to debut across the state over the next several months.
“We are excited about entering the robust Pennsylvania market and honored to do so at Parx Casino, a state-of-the-art property that attracts players from greater Philadelphia, the sixth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. with more than six million residents,” said Andrew Burke, AGS senior vice president of slot products.
For its Pennsylvania launch, AGS debuted its industry-leading Orion Portrait, Orion Slant, ICON, and Big Red slot cabinets and an array of its highest-performing game titles, including Fu Nan Fu Nu, Jade Wins, Olympus Strikes, Golden Wins and Colossal Stars.
“We are honored that AGS chose Parx Casino as its launch partner in Pennsylvania,” said Marc Oppenheimer, chief marketing officer of Parx parent company Greenwood Gaming. “We have been eager to add AGS’ entertaining games to our slot floor and offer our players the high-volatility excitement that AGS games are recognized for, with slot enthusiasts’ favorite features, such as progressive jackpots and free games.”
Following its game debut at Parx, AGS will roll out its games across Pennsylvania, which currently has 12 land-based casinos. In 2018, the slot machines and table games in Pennsylvania casinos generated a record gross revenue total of $3.2 billion—the highest total ever in the industry’s 13 years of operation—with Parx Casino leading the way.
