GameAccount Network has entered into a partnership with Maryland Live! - a casino property in Hanover in the US state of Maryland - to launch a Simulated Gaming online experience for customers.

Maryland Live! Maryland Live!

Maryland Live! is owned by the Cordish Company and operates around 4,000 machine slots and more than 180 table games, which generated $655m in gaming revenues in 2014.

The casino’s Simulated Gaming website is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2015 subject to approvals and will feature a portfolio of more than 200 casino slot, table and skill-based games, including poker, backgammon, gin rummy, poker dice and blackjack tournaments.

Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN, said: “It is a real privilege to start working directly with the casino executive team which not only pioneered the Maryland casino market in 2012, but also had the unique vision to launch a free-to-play online gaming website prior to opening their major new property at Arundel Mills.

“Today, our monetised Simulated Gaming solution represents a major logical upgrade path from free-to-play internet gaming and is now proven to increase on-property gaming by existing patrons and generate material levels of incremental income online.”
