GAN, formerly GameAccount Network, announced that it has signed an agreement with a subsidiary of Rock Gaming LLC to launch its Simulated Gaming social casino platform in connection with Rock’s three Ohio casino properties.
The Simulated Gaming offering will be operated from the GameSTACK internet gaming system deployed in Las Vegas, and is expected to go live across web and mobile in the first half of 2016. It will integrate with the Rock Gaming Ohio properties’ loyalty program.
GAN’s US-patented iBridge Framework will link the GameSTACK internet gaming system to Rock Gaming’s land-based casino management system deployed in Ohio.
Simulated Gaming is an innovative internet gaming service designed by GAN specifically for land-based U.S. casinos, offering a gaming-as-entertainment consumer website and mobile apps that include over 200 casino slot and table games, including poker, backgammon, gin rummy, poker dice and blackjack tournaments.
“Our Simulated Gaming partnership with Rock Gaming is another major step in expanding our Simulated Gaming offering in the United States, where we have pursued a regional strategy now deployed coast to coast,” said Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN. “Rock Gaming’s Ohio properties provide GAN with access to a significant part of the Midwestern U.S. region which we will be privileged to launch online before the summer.”
“Rock Gaming is thrilled to partner with GAN to deploy an exciting social gaming experience for our casino patrons in Ohio,” added Matthew P. Cullen, CEO of Rock Gaming. “After a careful review of the fast-growing online social casino market, GAN proved to be a great match for our needs and the needs of our patrons. We look forward to being able to offer our patrons a fun and interactive way to engage with our properties in Ohio.”
Rock Gaming and its affiliates’ portfolio of properties include over 13,000 gaming positions, more than 400,000 square feet of gaming space, over 600 hotel rooms, and 35 bars and restaurants.
