Skill-based casino games in the spotlight
By Paul Szydelko, Las Vegas Sun
Those who are adept at avoiding zombies improve their chances to win in one of the skill-based games expected to be introduced on Las Vegas casino floors early next year.
Games of chance continue to dominate casino action, but games in which skill plays a factor, an effort to draw younger players into casinos, will get a lot of attention at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), Sept. 27-29.
One of the games is the popular “Into the Dead,” California-based Gamblit Gaming’s partnership with PikPok, which has had more than 60 million downloads since it was launched in 2012 by PikPok.
Caesars Entertainment is among the first operators to agree to place Gamblit’s machines in Nevada in field trials, pending regulatory approval. After the field trial, Caesars anticipates placing 125 Gamblit gaming positions into multiple Nevada properties.
