Ainsworth Game Technology, the globally famous Australian gaming equipment manufacturer, has signed a long-term partnership with Caesars Entertainment, the big American casino operators.

The deal’s aim is to bring the world-class video slots developed by Ainsworth Game Technology into the offering of CaesarsCasino.com, HarrahsCasino.com, and WSOP.com, online casinos that Caesars Entertainment is operating in the state of New Jersey.

The most popular games from Ainsworth’s rich portfolio have already been added to the offering of the online casinos that are operated by Caesars Entertainment, but the agreement between the two sides stipulates that additional games from the developer will be added to the websites on a regular basis.

Jason Lim, the General Manager of the Online division at Ainsworth, revealed that his team is “thrilled” to have the chance to showcase its games on the websites that are run by “a prestigious operator like Caesars.”

Caesars Entertainment is an American company that operates several land-based and online casinos, along with multiple golf courses and resorts. The company has great tradition as it was founded all the way back in 1934 in Reno, Nevada.

In 2013, Caesars Entertainment was the fourth-largest gaming company in the entire world, with annual revenues of over 8.5 billion dollars. In 2020, the company was acquired by Eldorado Resorts in a deal worth over 17 billion dollars.
