“The partnership with Hard Rock creates optimal settings for the delivery of the Live Slots product,” said Roy Greenbaum, CEO of Softweave Ltd. “Our cutting-edge technology will enable HardRockCasino.com to extend the real gaming experience from the casino floor directly to the players fingertips.”
In the Live Slots section of HardRockCasino.com, players will see a row of real slot machines, as if they were walking through Hard Rock Atlantic City. The true-to-life experience means that players can find their lucky slot machine, win big and return to it later if the machine is not occupied.
“We are thrilled to present ground-breaking and innovative technology as real-money, online gaming continues to evolve in New Jersey,” said Joe Lupo, President of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City. “Similarly, to Live Table Games Dealers, Live Slots enables our players to have one seamless experience to earn Wild Card Rewards including hotel rooms, entertainment and dining at Hard Rock Atlantic City.
