Casinos across Atlantic City have been welcoming GameCo’s skill-based video game gambling machines (VGM), and the Tropicana has become the FOURTH casino throughout the strip to acquire them. This past November, all three Caesars Entertainment locations welcomed the machines: Harrah’s Resort, Bally’s Wild Wild West, and Caesars.
The machines have been live since Friday, December 23rd. The casino has designated a total of 9 gaming positions, installing three triple-unit VGM carousels. They have been strategically placed in areas which regularly see high traffic, so that players won’t miss out on this latest feature.
GameCo’s latest extension to the Tropicana amounts to a grand total of 30 machines scattered throughout Atlantic City’s casino properties.
General manager of Tropicana Casino, Steve Callender, commented, "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.”
Callender continued, “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."
CEO and co-founder of GameCo, Blaine Graboyes, added, "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."
