DraftKings Launches Mobile Casino App in New Jersey
June 23 2020 - 12:33PM
DraftKings (DKNG: NASDAQ) announced today the launch of its
standalone Casino app in New Jersey. Similarly to its Daily Fantasy
and Sportsbook offerings, DraftKings leveraged its in-house
technology to develop the DraftKings Casino app and create a more
holistic product suite and dynamic gaming experience. The app will
feature new games only found on DraftKings, plus revamped classics,
including Blackjack and Roulette.
“We are thrilled to break new ground for DraftKings in the
gaming space today with the launch of our DraftKings Casino app,
the Company's first perennial product that operates year-round
irrespective of the annual sports schedules,” said Jason March,
DraftKings’ Vice President of Gaming. “Following our debut in the
Garden State, we look forward to continued innovation, nationwide
expansion where regulations allow, and to further positioning
DraftKings as an all-inclusive gaming and entertainment
experience.”
A recent DraftKings-led study found that 70 percent of new
DraftKings Casino customers place their first bet on
DraftKings-branded games, further exemplifying the existing
appetite and demand for a modernized customer experience, complete
with built-to-scale games and a customizable user interface.
Although DraftKings Casino has been embedded within the DraftKings
Sportsbook app in New Jersey since 2018, this standalone version is
the result of extensive research and preparation as it relates to a
broadened customer base. DraftKings is prepared to unveil its
Casino product in additional states where regulations allow.
In addition to popular slot and table games native to DraftKings
Casino, the new app will also offer games from third-party
providers including International Gaming Technology, Slingo,
Scientific Games and more. Customers in New Jersey who play on the
DraftKings Casino will also have access to the custom DraftKings
Live Studio which operates 24/7.
DraftKings is a Platinum Member of the National Council on
Problem Gambling, the leading national organization for people and
their families who are affected by problem gambling and gambling
addiction. The Company is committed to industry-leading responsible
gaming practices and provides its customers with the resources and
services they need to play responsibly.
