US – GameCo installs VGMs at Tropicana

By Phil - 23 December 2016

Skill-based gaming pioneer GameCo has installed its Video Gaming Machines in the Tropicana Atlantic City in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Tropicana now has nine gaming positions with three triple-unit carousels placed in high traffic, prominent locations throughout the casino floor and dedicated gaming areas.

Steve Callender, General Manager of Tropicana Atlantic City, said: “Tropicana is thrilled to bring you MORE exciting experiences with the addition of GameCo. GameCo provides the first gambling experience that appeals to video gamers. It will bring a new level of fun and entertainment to Tropicana and is a perfect addition for our Slots In The Quarter gaming area.”

Last month, GameCo launched its VGM at all three Caesars Entertainment properties in Atlantic City (Caesars, Harrah’s Resort and Bally’s Wild Wild West), becoming the first video game gambling company in the world to debut skill-based games on casino floors. With this expansion to Tropicana, GameCo will now have 30 machines across four casino properties in Atlantic City.

Blaine Graboyes, CEO and co-founder of GameCo, said: “We’re excited to be expanding deployment of our VGMs in Atlantic City with Tropicana. As someone who spent my childhood summers on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, it’s equally exciting and humbling to be the leader in bringing video game gambling to casinos. Gamers deserve a “VIP Experience” and casinos such as Tropicana are the perfect venue to provide a unique destination and entertainment program.”

GameCo plans to be operational in most major US gambling jurisdictions by the end of 2017.
