Innovative casino content studio Design Works Gaming (DWG) continues its US expansion, as its games go live in New Jersey with Golden Nugget Online Gaming .

GoldenNuggetCasino.com players within the Garden State will now be able to enjoy a range of DWG titles, including Golden Grand and Shifting Hearts.

The launch comes via SG Digital’s industry-leading content distribution platform, OpenGaming, with DWG content set to be rolled out across other New Jersey online gaming licensees over the coming weeks. In a first-of-its-kind dual pilot, DWG content has also gone live via SG Digital with ResortsCasino in New Jersey this year.

The Scottsdale, Arizona-based content studio draws upon 16 years of game building expertise, with DWG titles already a fixture across land-based and social casinos, as well as regulated real-money online casinos in the UK.

Design Works Gaming CEO Troy Zurawski said: “It’s great to be back in the US. We always intended to launch our games in regulated markets across the country, and New Jersey is a perfect place to start. Land-based and social casinos have already shown us how popular DWG games are in the US. Alongside Golden Nugget Online Gaming, now we’re going to show what’s possible in real-money gaming too.”

GNOG Vice President Warren Steven said: “We are constantly continuing to grow our portfolio of iGaming content, and we are excited to expand our games repertoire by launching DWG games. This will broaden our content offering with DWG’s innovative features and exciting games available to our online patrons”.

DWG’s real money launch in New Jersey is the beginning of a push across the country’s regulated igaming jurisdictions, with a similar roll-out in Michigan to come.

Games like the award-nominated Double Fancy 7s and innovative non-spinning titles including Test Your Strength are already proven hits in real money online casinos in Europe and beyond.
