Gaming Commission approves Shuffle Master for interactive systems
Table gaming and casino management equipment supplier Shuffle Master was given approval Thursday to manufacture and provide interactive gaming systems by state gaming regulators.
Shuffle Master is the third company licensed for online gaming by the Nevada Gaming Commission, following June's regulatory approvals for slot machine makers Bally Technologies and International Game Technology.
Shuffle Master Chief Strategy Officer Louis Castle said the initial plan is to place versions of the company's table games on free-to-play social gaming websites. Eventually, the idea is to convert people who play the games for free into casino customers who will play the games in live settings.
