Creators of Activ-Play® technology to expand suite of titles in regulated markets

LAS VEGAS — October 4, 2022 — Aruze Gaming America, Inc. (Aruze), a leading developer of gambling entertainment solutions for the global casino market, today announced its iGaming development strategy ahead of the 2022 Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas.

As iGaming solutions grow in popularity, Aruze plans to leverage its beloved titles to enter already regulated iGaming markets and prepare for new and expanding markets. Aruze will also expand to international partnerships, bringing exclusive titles to players across the world.

“iGaming is an excellent opportunity to make Aruze’s titles more accessible than ever,” said Rob Ziems, president of Aruze. “More people are looking to experience gaming and gambling at home, as well as on-the-go, which means that iGaming will continue to expand at a rapid pace.

Our commitment to innovating the gaming industry is something that we don’t take lightly, and we see iGaming as a big step for innovating the gaming industry as a whole.”

Aruze currently has more than 30 titles available for play in New Jersey, and is actively working to expand its iGaming opportunities in the near future. Titles like Golden Magic™ and Ultra Stack Lion™ can be played on-the-go or from the comfort of a player's own home in available markets. Aruze will expand this list of titles as more markets emerge pending approvals as state legislatures are changed and updated.

“As technology advances, so too does the way we play. Players can now access their favorite games and instant winnings at the touch of their fingertips,” said Kurt Hansen, vice president of iGaming at Aruze. “Aruze recognizes the significant role that iGaming will have in the gaming world; it is our latest development in our continued efforts to deliver on the promises of innovation, quality and fun.”
