Skill-Based Casino Games Come To Nevada By GameCo

• GameCo will now be allowed to distribute skill-based casino games in Nevada.
• The Nevada Gaming Commission unanimously voted for the approval last week.
• GameCo is already licensed in the state of California, Oklahoma, Connecticut, and Mississippi.

LAS VEGAS - GameCo LLC has announced that they have received approval from the Nevada Gaming Commission to begin distributing skill-based casino games in Nevada once casinos are allowed to open back up.

The Nevada Gaming Commission unanimously voted to give GameCo the green light to put more of their machines in casinos around the state.

The company originally had a six-month field trial that saw their “All-Star Hoops” and “Nothin’ But Net 2” gambling machines placed at the Caesars Entertainment’s LINQ Hotel+, MGM Grand, Park MGM and the Atlantis Casino Resort Spa in Reno.

“We are thrilled to complete our field trial, and this is a major milestone for a startup in such a highly regulated industry,” said Blaine Graboyes, co-founder and CEO of GameCo. “We appreciate the support of our trial partners and the Nevada Gaming Control Board.”

Now GameCo can bring its full lineup of video game gambling machines in casinos that feature a fighting game SoulCalibur II, Sweet Spot Golf, and Steve Aoki’s Neon Dream Rhythm Runner. These gambling games are sure to entice a younger generation of gamblers and could be key to getting millennials in casinos.

GameCo has reported that 80% of coin-in spending came from millennial and Gen-X players while traditional slots only brought in 20% of coin from the same age group.

GameCo will continue to push the envelope of video game gambling as they eventually look to release a multiplayer arena that would allow people to play against each other for money and in a tournament type atmosphere.
