White Hat Studios is launching a customized version of its brand-new progressive jackpot system, Jackpot Royale Express, tailored specifically for Caesars Entertainment’s online casinos. The system will go live this week across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
Key Takeaways
- White Hat Studios to launch exclusive new Jackpot Royale Express variant.
- The game will be a fully branded Caesars Palace experience.
- Eleven more jackpot releases planned by White Hat this year.
The game has been overhauled to match the Caesars brand, featuring laurel logos as jackpot trigger symbols and a digital version of the Caesars Palace lobby.
The big prize in the game is triggered by landing five jackpot symbols in a spin. This launches the jackpot wheel, which has multipliers up to x1,000 and five progressive jackpots. White Hat said the new system will be used on a dozen new games this year alone.
Additionally, the studio plans to release 12 Jackpot Royal Express games throughout 2025 and expand further in 2026.
“Caesars is one of the most iconic entertainment brands in the United States, and we’re delighted to support its mission to deliver premium entertainment with an exclusive, branded version of our Jackpot Royale Express system. We have no doubt the unique, fast-hitting structure will resonate with its players and help drive engagement across its online casino platforms,” Armen Tatarevic, VP Gaming at White Hat Studios, told Covers.
Caesars opens live dealer studio in Michigan
Caesars’ partnership with White Hat Studios isn’t the only development to have occurred at the operator in recent months. Last week, Caesars announced the launch of a Las Vegas-style live dealer studio in Michigan, developed in partnership with Evolution.
The live dealer studio is Caesars' third branded studio, featuring five blackjack tables, one roulette table, and one baccarat table.
Caesars unveils Remote Reels studio at Tropicana Atlantic City
In addition to the collaboration with White Hat, Caesars is also launching a new Remote Reels studio at Tropicana Atlantic City. The 937-square-foot, glass-walled space enables players to remotely access physical slot machines located on the casino floor through the Caesars Palace app.
The studio offers players the choice of 25 different slot games, which can be controlled using their phones or computers within the Remote Reels studio. The list of slots includes games from developers Light & Wonder and Aristocrat, such as Buffalo Triple Boost and Mo' Mummy.
According to Caesars, the technology is not a simulation but a live, real-time slot play on physical machines. The company states that the studio is part of its strategy to bridge the gap between land-based and digital play, following recent innovations such as a branded live-dealer studio and the launch of Caesars’ first in-house casino game earlier this year.
Caesars invited influencer Slot Hopper to hit the ceremonial first spin to mark the Remote Reels debut and give the press a glimpse of the Remote Reels technology.
