AGS takes temporary license of iGaming provider in Michigan
Commercial gambling provider AGS announced yesterday that it has acquired a temporary supplier's license iGaming issued by Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB), to deliver proven and engaging online gaming content to licensed operators.
"We are pleased to have received our provisional iGaming license in Michigan and look forward to helping the state launch its new iGaming program."
Matt Reback, AGS Executive Vice President
Ready to offer engaging content
Once the state of Wolverine approves online casino games, which is expected to happen by late 2020 or early 2021, AGS will be able to provide its own games to legal iGaming operators in Michigan.
Leveraging its powerful Remote Gaming Server, AGS will offer its content, which has already proven its value at land-based online gaming outlets, to help online gaming companies further engage customers by providing the thrill they expect.
"We are confident that the state of Michigan will be a strong market for us, with three commercial casinos that support a steady player base, and familiarity with AGS games due to the popularity and longevity of our land-based games in the Michigan market. . "
Matt Reback, AGS Executive Vice President
AGS' robust library of high-performance game titles such as Capital Gains®, Fu Nan Fu Nu®, Golden Wins®, Jade Wins®, Longhorn Jackpots ™ and Rakin' Bacon! ®, will further enhance online gaming operators' offerings in the state and enable them to provide an exceptional gaming experience.
Content from the gaming provider is already present on online platforms in regulated markets in Europe and Latin America. In the United States, AGS content is available in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and entry into Michigan is expected to mark further expansion for the gaming content provider. The AGS AxSys ™ Games Marketplace platform enables its online casino partners around the world to access AGS game content, as well as games provided by third parties.
Earlier this month, a panel of Michigan lawmakers agreed to advance the regulatory framework for the launch of online sports betting and iGaming in the state by the end of December. Bipartisan Joint Committee on Administrative Rules (JCAR) waived the 15-day rule review requirement for a set of rules proposed by the MGCB.
The state regulator has spent most of the first half of 2020 on drafting regulatory rules, and the commission's decision will allow them to be adopted by the end of the year.
