Tropicana and Gamesys join forces for online gambling in New Jersey
Gamesys has announced it is entering the New Jersey online gambling market with the Tropicana Casino and Resort. It had been known that both Gamesys and the Topicana were in talks for several weeks and so the announcement was no surprise the analysts.
The UK based company serves customers in Spain, Italy and Sweden and are now looking to enter the fledgling online gambling sector in the US.
“We have always sought ambitious partners and Tropicana Atlantic City is a great partner for Gamesys as Internet gaming comes to New Jersey,” said Noel Hayden, founder and CEO of Gamesys. “We look forward to working with the team at Tropicana to leverage the very best of the Gamesys platform and capabilities to serve existing customers and win new customers online.”
Tony Rodio, Tropicana’s president and CEO, predicted the Gamesys partnership will allow the casino to generate new revenue and expand its customer base.
“Gamesys has a proven track record in the United Kingdom of providing excellent products and customer service, and we look forward to launching Tropicana’s Internet gaming business with them,” Rodio said.
The announced deal does not say what games will be offered to New Jersey as Gamesys is best known for their jackpotjoy brand rather than online poker, but now the deal has been announced observers will be watching the next move by both companies closely.
