Live in New Jersey:

In a move that expanded its U.S. offering, the supplier recently announced that two of its most popular games have gone live in the regulated state of New Jersey for the first time in over three months.

The slot specialist’s popular, Stellar Jackpots with Serengeti Lions and everyone’s favorite crimson marsupial, RedRoo, are the most recent titles to be added to the slots developer’s games portfolio available in the United States. Lightning Box has already gone live in the region with some choice titles including Respin Rhino, Astro Cat and the most recent addition, PandaPow.

Stellar Jackpots with Serengeti Lions and RedRoo are the developer’s first titles to release in the region since early April. The launches are in keeping with growing interest in its offering since it first premiered in New jersey‘s burgeoning online market in early this year.
