Golden Nugget has selected Chiligaming as its exclusive online gaming partner in anticipation of the legalisation of online gaming in the US.
The two are entering into a partnership with a free-play website due to launch within the next quarter.
Chiligaming's proprietary i-gaming platform, which enables it to connect to any poker platform or gaming content provider, is a central feature of its US proposition and is designed to both facilitate swift entry into the market and maximise options for Golden Nugget, which has strong brand presence across the US, as the country's regulatory landscape takes shape.
Alexandre Dreyfus, Chiligaming CEO and founder, commented: "With its Las Vegas, Laughlin and Atlantic City properties [Golden Nugget] is ideally and uniquely positioned for all of the online developments that lie ahead."
Golden Nugget started an intensive process approximately nine months ago, looking at more than a dozen internet gaming companies, and selected Chiligaming because the company has i-gaming experience in Europe.
"We believe that online gaming is inevitable in the US and that the Golden Nugget will be well positioned to compete when US laws allow for online gaming," said chairman and owner of Golden Nugget Tilman J Fertitta.
