The games could be rolled out as early as next Monday at Harrah’s, Caesars and Bally’s, after the DGE granted its approval.
Known as ‘VGMs’, the machines are expected to undergo several weeks of testing following their initial deployment.

”
“We have been at the forefront of encouraging innovation, and are pleased that the efforts of GameCo and division staff have culminated in this skill skill-based video game becoming available in Atlantic City before any other jurisdiction in the United States,” David Rebuck, DGE Director, said.
GameCo is one of a number of firms developing skill-based games, with a view to attracting a younger audience that has displayed limited interest in traditional slots play.
Gamblit Gaming partnered with Caesars Entertainment in September, signing a multi-year agreement to supply its skill-based content to the operator’s properties in California and Nevada.
