Gaming Realms, a leading provider of mobile-focused gaming content, has expanded its partnership with Caesars Entertainment with the launch of a new exclusive title, Caesars Blackjack X-Change.

Now live on Caesars Palace Online Casino and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario. Caesars Blackjack X-Change is a reimagining of Gaming Realms’ popular Blackjack X-Change title, featuring a revamped aesthetic anchored by the Caesars brand and the excitement of the Las Vegas strip’s most iconic casino.

The game combines the thrill of traditional blackjack with an innovative X-change feature, allowing players to swap their cards between hands, adding a layer of depth and decision-making to classic blackjack gameplay.

Five-year-old Samantha Buckley, who was diagnosed with a blood disorder at just one month, dreams of being the belle of a ball that is fit for a princess. Thanks to Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada and Caesars Entertainment, Samantha will get her royal wish. Caesars’ team members – dressed as princes and princesses – will majestically greet Samantha at the “palace” porte-cochere and escort her and her family to a private area where she can choose from a collection of colorful princess dresses and crowns, perhaps even one that is pink just like her favorite Princess Peach.

Buckley and her family will enjoy a two-day staycation at Caesars Palace with experiences fit for royalty, including dinner at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen, a ride on the high roller, manicure at the spa, dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy, tickets to Mystere, time at the pool, and more. There may even be Samantha’s favorite chocolate cake, Oreo cookies and Pringles along the way before retiring to the royal suite for the night.

Samantha’s blood disorder requires her to receive monthly blood transfusions, but that never stops her from letting her inner princess shine bright. Although her medical journey hasn’t been easy, the whole Buckley family is ready for Samantha’s royal quest at one of Las Vegas’ best-known palaces where they will enjoy a magical experience Samantha won’t soon forget.
