London-based Inspired Gaming has signed a deal with Golden Nugget Atlantic City to supply its Virtual Sports product to the New Jersey online market through Golden Nugget’s internet casino. In the first placement of Virtual Sports online in the U.S., Inspired is providing the games through a partnership with Reno-based Spin Games.
Virtual Sports in New Jersey will reside on Spin Games’ server, the ROC (for Robust Online Content). Inspired is now licensed as a provider of technology to the New Jersey market.
Golden Nugget’s online operations will be supplied with Inspired’s Virtual Sports, including Rush Horse Racing, Rush Car Racing and Rush Football (soccer) to name a few. These will be the first-ever online Virtual Sports products to be offered in the U.S.
All Virtual Sports supplied to Golden Nugget will be available via desktop and mobile channels.
“This is a hugely exciting moment for Inspired, as we become the first-ever supplier to deliver Virtual Sports online to the U.S. market,” said Steve Rogers, CCO of digital games for Inspired. “Following our partnership with Spin Games, I’m delighted that we can announce that Golden Nugget will be among the first online operators in the U.S. to supply their customers with Inspired’s world-class Virtual Sports products.
“This deal comes as part of Inspired’s ongoing global strategy, and we look forward to announcing further deals and projects in the U.S. in the near future. We have a proven track record of creating new markets, as we have demonstrated over the years in the U.K., Italy and China, to name a few, and we are sure that the U.S. will be just as explosive.”
Phil Katsaros, Inspired’s head of business development for North America, added, “Inspired takes great pride in being a first-class technology partner, bringing new and inventive products such as Virtual Sports to the marketplace. We are completely thrilled to partner with Golden Nugget and look forward to contributing to their fast growing online gaming business.”
Thomas Winter, Vice President of Online Gaming, Golden Nugget said, “We are thrilled to partner up with Inspired and add their innovative, world-class Virtual Sports to our content portfolio. With close to 300 games available through its web portal and mobile apps, GoldenNuggetCasino.com already offers the best and largest selection of games to New Jersey online players.
“This focus on delivering the best possible players experience allowed Golden Nugget to be the fastest online casino in New Jersey last year and to win the iGaming North America Operator of the Year award in 2015 and 2016. Virtual Sports brings fun to the next level, and shows our restless commitment to remain the destination of choice for New Jersey online players.”
