New York-based GameCo is counting Australia among the new markets it is targeting for its skill-based slot games on the video game gambling machines, or VGMs.
A GameCo spokesman told the Sydney Morning Herald last week that the compan7 will take titles including the shooter game Danger Arena and the basketball challenge Nothin’ but Net to next month’s Australasian Gaming Expo in Sydney.
The company faces unique challenges in the Australian regulatory system, which, unlike Nevada and New Jersey in the U.S., has no new rules allowing anything other than pure-chance slot machines. “The government is monitoring the emergence of skill-based gaming machines, a spokesman for the Victoria government told the Herald.
GameCo first introduced its VGMs in Atlantic City at the Caesars Entertainment and Tropicana properties. It has since installed machines at the Borgata in Atlantic City and Foxwoods in Connecticut.
