Pearl River Resort first in Mississippi to offer video game gambling machines

Owned and operated by the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians, Pearl River Resort has announced the addition of two new games at Golden Moon Hotel & Casino. From innovative gaming tech company, GameCo LLC, Riches of the Golden Dragon and Nothin’ But Net 2 are now live, making Pearl River Resort the first casino to introduce Video Game Gambling Machines (VGM) in the state of Mississippi. 

"We are pleased to be at the forefront of introducing innovative new gaming experiences in our market," stated Sonny Johnson, President and CEO for Pearl River Resort, "With the recent addition of sports betting, online casino, and now Video Game Gambling to our arsenal of gaming products, we are looking forward to providing our existing guests as well as new guests from the Millennial segment with a comprehensive gaming experience."

"The player’s skill is a key factor of winning instead of only chance"

GameCo’s VGM is the first platform to bring video gameplay to the casino floor engaging a new generation of casino customers. The first video game gambling skill-based gaming platform approved by any regulator in the United States, GameCo’s patented VGM proprietary arcade- style cabinets allow a player’s skill to determine the payout and winnings while maintaining the same casino-based economics as slot machines. 

With Riches of the Golden Dragon, players will be shown three dragon tiles for a chance to win either cash, tokens, or to unlock a mini-game with guaranteed cash rewards. Players’ skills are demonstrated during the Mini-Games like avoiding rocks while melting coins and matching dragons by pressing the corresponding buttons. A Bonus Round and Progressive Jackpot provide two additional ways to win big. Then, get ready to hit the courts right on the gaming floor with Nothin' but Net 2. This basketball-themed game gives players 15 shots each round to win big. It is easy to use; play is activated by a single button in which players catch to bet and score to win. Each shot is a new chance to win cash. When a player scores ten or more shots in a round, they earn a free spin on the Progressive Jackpot bonus wheel.
