AGS announced that it was awarded a provisional iGaming supplier license by the Michigan Gaming Control Board.

This license will allow AGS to provide its proprietary game content for the State of Michigan’s licensed online casino operators when iGaming is approved to go live by the Michigan Gaming Control Board, which is expected to happen in late 2020 or early 2021.

Once the state’s online gaming program is live, AGS will offer its proven and high-performing land-based game content to licensed online operators in the state through its powerful Remote Gaming Server. With a robust library that includes high-performing and retail-proven AGS game content such as Capital Gains®, Fu Nan Fu Nu®, Golden Wins®, Jade Wins®, Longhorn Jackpots, and Rakin’ Bacon!®, AGS delivers an exceptional play experience.

AGS Executive Vice President Matt Reback said, “We are excited about being awarded our provisional iGaming license in Michigan and look forward to helping the state launch its new iGaming program. We are confident that Michigan is going to be a strong market for us, with three commercial casinos that cater to a repeat player base, and player familiarity with AGS games due to the popularity and longevity of our land-based games in the Michigan market.”
