GameAccount Network (GAN) and WinStar World Casino announced a partnership this week to launch a free-to-play WinStar gaming site. GAN offers B2B service to real money online casinos, but also supports free-play social gaming and simulated gaming.
Real money online casinos are illegal in Oklahoma, the home state of WinStar World Casino. Still, as the largest casino in the world, based on gaming space, WinStar wanted to establish an online gaming presence. Previously, Foxwoods Casino and Mohegan Sun in Connecticut launched free-to-play sites.
What Is Simulated Gaming?
The new website is considered simulated gaming, though an indirect means of gambling is offered. Players can purchase virtual chips online. These chips are used for simulated casino gaming using WinStar’s Scientific Games ACSC casino management system.
If a player wins, they receive WinStar Online Gaming Reward Points. When the player next visits the brick-and-mortar WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma, they can use the rewards points to buy gift cards, spa credits, restaurant meals, golf benefits, and tickets for shows.
Dermot Smurfit on WinStar Partnership
Dermot Smurfit, the chief executive officer of GAN, said, “We are enormously privileged to bring one of America’s largest and most vibrant casino properties online with our Simulated Gaming solution. WinStar World Casino is the largest casino in the World, and we anticipate their massive audience of patrons will engage heavily with Simulated Gaming.”
“On behalf of the entire team at GAN, we would like to extend our thanks to the Client for offering GAN the opportunity to bring Simulated Gaming to their regional gaming market. This contract is expected to deliver material revenue and earnings to GAN throughout the remainder of 2017.”
While the GAN website is going to be most valuable for those who live within a couple of hours of Thackerville, it can apply to anyone who visits the Dallas or North Texas area. WinStar World Casino is one of the largest and most profitable casinos in the world, as it exists a little more than an hour north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It small concert venue hosts some of the biggest musical and standup comic acts in the world, meaning tickets to shows have significant real world value.
Wayne McCormick on GAN-Designed Website
Wayne McCormick, the General Manager of the WinStar World Casino and Resort, said in a press release, “GAN was selected for their breadth of experience in enabling casino properties to provide a free-to-play online gaming experience, and their commitment to integrating our highly-regarded on-property rewards program into this user experience. Equipped with GAN’s Simulated Gaming, WinStar World Casino and Resort will continue to introduce our casino experience — both online and on-property — to a nationwide audience of casino game players.”
Free-to-play sites are good promotional vehicles for brick-and-mortar casino brands. They establish a potential player database, because people from 50 states can register an account there. The site owner then can market to those potential customers, offering them comps and tourism packages for visits to their land-based casino.
It goes without saying that establishing an online gaming presence is important, if Oklahoma ever legalized online casino and poker gambling. That probably is not going to happen anytime soon, because the bulk of Oklahomans tend to be social conservatives. Still, if ever such a bill passed, the Chickasaw Nation would be years ahead in establishing its online domain.
GameAccount Network Profile
GameAccount Network or GAN was launched in April 2001 in the United Kingdom. Its headquarters is located at 125 Kensington High Street, London, England in the United Kingdom. The GameAccount Network offers dedicated person-to-person games of skill for real money.
Each week, GAN supervizes millions of dollars of gaming competition on the GameAccount Network, which is located in over 130 countries worldwide. Its skill gaming software consists of whole networks of eGaming operators, which target the non-U.S. markets. As the WinStar Casino deal shows, it somes sets up free-to-play sites for special customers like the unconquered Chickasaw Nation.
WinStar World Casino Profile
WinStar World Casino is located one mile north of the Red River in Thackerville, Casino. The WinStar is one hour’s drive north of Dallas on I-35. The casino and hotel was opened in 2003 and has grown into one of the biggest casinos in the world. The WinStar World Casino was built in stages, based on a variety of historical Earth cultures.
Inside the casino, the gaming space holds 7,500 gaming machines and 145 table games. The complex has a bingo hall and a keno room, as well as a dedicated poker room. Many of the best poker players in the DFW area make the trip to the WinStar poker room for regular sessions, so players should be able to find the kind of card players they like at the bet limits they prefer.
