Through the DoubleDown Casino application, IGT delivers an innovative solution for our casino partners, such as Bonanza Casino, as they are able to host some of the hottest casino games on the most popular social platform directly from their website by leveraging IGT's technology."
Bonanza customers will have access to the online casino's full roster of game titles such as Da Vinci Diamonds® and Cleopatra slots and its newly released Bingo. New games will be added automatically to the virtual casino, and first-time users of the app will receive $1 million in virtual chips to start their play.
"Offering our players this tremendous game suite online is defining a new level of entertainment for us," said Martin Amba, Bonanza Casino marketing manager. "Through the DoubleDown Casino, we are offering our players, both loyal and new, with fun, free-to-play social gaming entertainment, right on our website."
