Golden Nugget Grows its Portfolio with ReelPlay & Evolution Gaming
By Jeff Osienya May 21, 2020 TechnologyThe Golden Nugget online gaming branch continues to dominate the New Jersey market. The operator has just signed ReelPlay to offers slots via SG and Evolution Gaming to bring in more captivating live dealer games.Earlier this week, Golden Nugget Online Casino penned an agreement with ReelPlay, a Sydney-based developer of some of the highest-grossing casino games in the European and UK markets. The Golden Nugget Online Casino has continuously been striking deals with content creation and distribution partners worldwide to enrich the options available in its online gaming lobby. This deal is part of the operator’s strategy to offer New Jersey online casino players a cutting-edge experience with as many impressive online casino games as possible.
ReelPlay’s content will be rolled out through the proprietary Open Gaming System (OGS) content aggregation platform from Scientific Games (SG), one of the primary software providers powering the Golden Nugget Online Casino. This partnership is one of a kind particularly because it not only ramps up SG’s presence across the online gaming market in New Jersey but it’s also marked ReelPlay’s landmark entry into the regulated USA iGaming industry.
New Jersey slot machine enthusiasts have reason to celebrate because ReelPlay brings with it a host of state-of-the-art slot machine hotshots. The games include slots bearing the branded Infinity Reels mechanic like the award-winning El Dorado Infinity Reels, and the recently launched Giza Infinity Reels. Moreover, with this arrangement, New Jersey players will also have a unique chance to enjoy ReelPlay’s upcoming games such as Heypernova Megaways™ and Odin Infinity Reels, exclusively at Golden Nugget.
Evolution Gaming’s Live Dealer Titles Now Available at Golden Nugget
The ReelPlay partnership is not the only portfolio expansion deal that Golden Nugget has inked this week. Right after the ReelPlay arrangement, the operator also joined hands with Evolution Gaming, one of the most revered live dealer content creators to increase its live dealer games collection. Thanks to this agreement, fans of playing table and card games in real-time can now enjoy new innovative games such as Top Card, Side Bet City, and Dream Catcher.
These new titles offered by Evolution Gaming will be live-streamed to Golden Nugget’s online patrons from the operator’s in-house Golden Nugget Live Studio and the developer’s live casino studio based in Atlantic City. The new titles will now appear on the operator’s online casino lobby alongside Three Card Poker, Casino Hold’em, Baccarat, Unlimited Blackjack, and live roulette, all powered by Ezugi, another top contender in the world of live casino games.
Of note however is that about four years ago in August 2016, Golden Nugget Atlantic City partnered with Ezugi to become the first internet-based operator to debut a live dealer gaming platform in the USA. Fast forward to 2018, Evolution Gaming acquired Ezugi, which was at that time one of its biggest competitors for an initial consideration of $12 million. This, therefore, means that the latest deal with Evolution Gaming is an extension of what Golden Nugget already had with Ezugi, to broaden Evolution’s reach over the New Jersey market.
The moves made by Golden Nugget to expand its range of games in the lobby are laudable especially since online casino games are now the go-to gambling products. Brick and mortar casinos are still under the ongoing shutdown in New Jersey, but plans for opening up the state are being discussed.
