GAN launches simulated gaming at WinStar World Casino

Developer and supplier of enterprise-level B2B Internet gaming software, services and online gaming content in the United States, GAN, announced the launch of the “highly anticipated” ‘Simulated Gaming’ website and supporting mobile apps for WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma on Friday.

The AIM-traded firm said WinStar was a “major gaming destination” for residents of Oklahoma and Northern Texas, offering nearly 7,500 electronic games and 145 tables games, making the property one of the largest casinos in the world.

It had previously announced the partnership in August last year.

Following an “extensive” diligence process, GAN said it was selected for its “deep capabilities” in providing social gaming experiences from a singular technology platform, together with the ability to deliver a custom-designed website and app wholly integrated into the on-property loyalty program and Scientific Games' ACSC casino management system.

It said the “major” commercial launch reinforced GAN's US market position as a leading B2B enterprise software solution provider to bricks-and-mortar US casino operators looking to move online with an Internet gaming-as-entertainment solution custom-designed to align with their property's brand and fully integrated with their rewards program.

“We are enormously privileged to bring one of America's largest and most vibrant casino properties online with our Simulated Gaming solution,” said GAN CEO Dermot Smurfit.

“WinStar World Casino is the largest casino in the world and we anticipate their massive audience of patrons will engage heavily with Simulated Gaming.

“On behalf of the entire team at GAN, we would like to extend our thanks to the client for offering GAN the opportunity to bring Simulated Gaming to their regional gaming market.”

Smurfit said the contract was expected to deliver “material revenue and earnings” to GAN throughout the remainder of 2017.
