Hard Rock International, also known for Hard Rock Live performance venues and an award-winning website publicised about the entrance of its iGaming division into a strategic partnership with Gaming Innovation Group (GiG). This partnership will work towards the materialisation of a new online casino. The casino company will extend its esteemed gaming business to the online market in the United States.

In compliance with the deal, GIG will provide Hard Rock, the most sophisticated digital consumer portal, along with back-end platform to manage the operations. The online casino will be fashioned by GIG’s design and development team amalgamating with Hard Rock.  The offering is intended to be launched in 2018. GiG also announced the starting off of its application process for the Casino Service Industry Enterprise License in New Jersey, moving the company into a third regulated market.

Hard Rock International recently invested US$500 million in Hard Rock Hotel & Casino – Atlantic City, opening in summer 2018. The investment added the second largest gaming market in the United States to its portfolio of 11 casinos.
