As a part of this launch, DWG’s first collaborative bespoke game with Caesars, Caesars Palace Riches LuckyTap is now live in Pennsylvania.

The relationship we have with the Caesars team is a special one and our success with them in Michigan and New Jersey speaks for itself.”
Vice President of Online Gaming at Caesars Digital, Ricardo Cornejo Rivas, added: “We want to thank DWG for bringing more exciting content to our online casino players in another jurisdiction. As we have seen in other states such as New Jersey and Michigan, these additions will strengthen our gaming catalog while bringing a popular Caesars-themed game to our valuable casino players in the state of Pennsylvania.”
DWG has experienced remarkable success in the U.S. gaming market, with its games receiving widespread acclaim for their quality and entertainment value. The studio holds licenses to provide games in New Jersey, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and, most recently, Ontario.
Workers at Rio Hotel and Casino, represented by Teamsters Local 986, have overwhelmingly ratified a strong four-year collective bargaining agreement. The group of 62 front desk workers, laborers, warehouse workers, and valet attendants secured higher wages, improved benefits, and stronger workplace protections.
“Our members stood strong, and management had no other choice but to deliver. This win belongs to every worker who refused to be ignored, and it proves that when we fight as one, we secure real improvements,” said Tim Vera, President of Local 986.
The four-year deal delivers a 15% wage increase, improved vacation policies, and continued coverage under the Teamsters Health and Welfare plan. The contract also includes job protections against technology and an option for workers to enroll into the Teamsters 401(k) plan.
“All we asked for was a fair contract that allows us to do our job without worrying. We didn’t want to strike, but we were ready if it came to that. Now we can come to work knowing that management listened and that our labor is respected,” said Malinda Zarcone, a front desk worker and steward at Local 986.
The agreement was reached after workers voted to authorize a strike on Nov. 10 over unfair labor practices. The vote followed nearly two years of stalled negotiations by Dreamscape, the property’s owner.
“Management dragged out negotiations and our members held them accountable. We don’t tolerate delays and disrespect toward our members. We’re always prepared to take action and win,” said Tommy Blitsch, Director of the Teamsters Convention, Trade Show, and Casino Division.
