Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced an expansion to its partnership with AGS making Caesars’ online casino platforms the exclusive first online home for the immensely popular Triple Coin Treasures family of slot titles. This expansion includes a series of classic and new slot title launches across North America on Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino.

The first exclusive launch will introduce Shamrock Fortunes to Caesars’ online casino players, bringing this beloved title that has long been enjoyed at Caesars Rewards destinations in North America online for the first time. Additional launches later in 2025 will include another beloved Triple Coin Treasures classic, a unique Caesars-branded version of a title, along with never-before-played titles from AGS that will debut simultaneously at Caesars destinations and on Caesars’ marquee online casino platforms.

“We appreciate AGS’ confidence in our ability to transition their popular slot titles from casino floors to online platforms. This expanded partnership, featuring beloved in-person casino slots, custom-branded titles, and new, never-before-played games, underscores our commitment to providing an ever-evolving online casino experience. We’re proud to not only introduce new titles to our players but also to bring the classic titles they have enjoyed at our destinations directly to their mobile devices,” said Ricardo Cornejo Rivas, Vice President of Online Gaming at Caesars Digital.

This marks the second collaboration between Caesars and AGS on exclusive game launches for Caesars players, both in its brick-and-mortar casinos and online casino platforms. The first collaboration in 2024 featured the simultaneous launch of the popular title Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey in New Jersey on Caesars Palace Online Casino and at Caesars Atlantic City, Tropicana Atlantic City, and Harrah’s Atlantic City.

“Our expanded partnership with Caesars is a major milestone in AGS’ interactive growth strategy. Bringing our proven titles, like Shamrock Fortunes, online for the first time allows us to reach players in a whole new way while honoring the retail roots of these games. We’re especially excited to co-develop a Caesars-branded version of one of our classic games and to continue building momentum with new launches that blend innovation, familiarity, and fun,” said Zoe Ebling, Vice President of Interactive at AGS.

Caesars and AGS will celebrate the rollout of these exclusive new games with special marketing promotions linked to each title and omnichannel events for Caesars Rewards VIPs at select Caesars Rewards destinations. Once live, each game will be available on Caesars’ premier online casino platforms including Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino.

Caesars’ online casino platforms are accessible on iOS, Android, and desktop for players aged 21 and older in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ontario, and West Virginia. These platforms deliver an elevated online casino experience, featuring exclusive Caesars-branded games, high limit slots, private live dealer tables, linked progressive jackpots, various poker and roulette variations, and much more.

Online casino play, sports wagering, and in-person casino play at Caesars Rewards destinations seamlessly integrate with Caesars Rewards, the company’s industry-leading customer loyalty program. Players in the US earn Caesars Rewards Credits through both online and in-person casino activities, redeemable for unforgettable experiences at over 50 world-class Caesars destinations across North America.
