Most online casino customers are by now accustomed to the look and feel of playing slot games on their smartphones or tablets. But how about holding your phone to play a physical slot machine, with real buttons and spinning reels?
As of this summer, customers of Caesars Palace Online Casino can do just that. In June, the site’s owner, Caesars Entertainment, launched a program called “Remote Reels.” They lined up slot machines in a room at the Tropicana in Atlantic City, trained cameras and audio equipment on each game, and linked the machines directly to Caesars Palace Online Casino on mobile and desktop.
According to the company, the launch “marks a major milestone in Caesars’ continued efforts to bring a land-based casino experience to its online casino platforms by bringing top titles that are typically found on-site at Caesars Rewards destinations to players in this remote-to-cabinet format for the first time ever.”
Popular Slots
Players can choose from a range of popular physical slot machines located inside the Remote Reels studio at Tropicana Atlantic City and play them directly on their mobile devices. You choose a game, make your online wager, and by tapping your phone or clicking your mouse, you activate the “spin” button on the physical slot machine and watch the reels spin to an outcome.
Situated directly on the casino floor at Tropicana Atlantic City, the 937-square-foot Remote Reels studio, created in partnership with Awager, offers a new way to experience live slot action. Enclosed in glass walls, the studio features 25 slot machines that allow guests 21 and older to spin the reels via the Caesars Palace Online Casino app and play them remotely in real time.
Top Gaming Suppliers
The studio is filled with popular titles from premier manufacturers Light & Wonder and Aristocrat that are also available to customers at Caesars Rewards destinations across North America.
“We’re proud to be the first online casino operator to have premier titles such as Huff N’ Even More Puff, Mo’ Mummy Valley of Riches, Mo’ Mummy Mighty Pyramid, and Buffalo Triple Boost in a remote-to-cabinet play format,” said Matthew Sunderland, senior vice president and chief iGaming officer at Caesars Digital.
“The debut of our state-of-the-art Remote Reels studio inside Tropicana Atlantic City is the latest example of the innovation we aim to deliver to our online casino players and represents the perfect blend of the familiar feeling of slot play on a casino floor at one of our Caesars Rewards destinations with a fully mobile experience.”
“The stunning new Remote Reels studio adds another exciting component to the Tropicana Atlantic City experience for our guests and players,” added Joseph Giunta, senior vice president and general manager of Tropicana Atlantic City. “We’re proud to showcase this immersive space in the heart of our casino and give our online players the thrill of Atlantic City from the comfort of their own homes.”
Slot Hopper
At the June launch, Caesars hosted popular online casino influencer Slot Hopper at Tropicana Atlantic City to place the ceremonial first spin via a mobile device and provided a special look at the new technology for local media.
“We are incredibly proud to partner with Caesars Entertainment and Caesars Digital for the debut of Remote Reels,” said Roy Greenbaum, co-founder & CEO of Awager. “Bringing land-based play online is at the heart of our mission to deliver a truly authentic, immersive casino experience straight to players’ devices. Streaming live from the iconic Tropicana Atlantic City underscores the unique entertainment value we offer our partners. The industry has been waiting for an innovation like this, and we’re proud to launch it with a prominent brand like Caesars.”
Caesars’ online casino platforms, which feature Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, Tropicana Online Casino, and WSOP Online, recently celebrated its first online casino title fully developed by its newly established in-house games studio, with the launch of Caesars Palace Signature Multihand Blackjack Surrender. The company also debuted a branded live-dealer studio inside Tropicana Atlantic City, marking the first of such inside a Caesars Rewards destination and its second branded studio in operation.
