Hard Rock signs mobile gaming deal

Cantor Gaming, an affiliate of global financial services firm Cantor Fitzgerald, has announced a deal with the Las Vegas Hard Rock Hotel And Casino that will see it provide mobile gaming throughout designated areas of the resort.

Las Vegas-based Cantor Gaming stated that its eDeck mobile gaming device would now offer Hard Rock customers the ability to play their favourite casino games such as video poker and slots throughout public areas of the property including Rehab and the Hard Rock Beach Club Pool.

“We're pleased to bring mobile gaming to the Hard Rock,” said Lee Amaitis, President and Chief Executive Officer for Cantor Gaming.

“We've had an extremely positive response to eDeck since it was first launched last March at the M Resort. The ability to play casino games away from the casino floor adds a whole new dimension to the Vegas experience and the flexibility of mobile gaming appeals to customers who are already used to the freedom of using mobile devices in many other aspects of their lives.”

Cantor Gaming has also developed proprietary games for eDeck including its XtraOdds Blackjack and XtraOdds Baccarat featuring extra propositional wagers that dynamically calculate odds based on the cards dealt to give players an added opportunity to press or hedge their bets.

“We are excited to welcome the addition of mobile gaming to the Hard Rock,” said Randy Kwasniewski, President for the Hard Rock.

“Now gamers are able to enjoy all the Hard Rock has to offer such as our pool and beach club, fine dining and exciting nightlife all the while still able to bet and play casino-style games on their mobile device. Mobile gaming reflects our values at Hard Rock; offering our customers innovative, creative and fresh ideas to complete a special and unique experience at our resort.”
