“Blackjack is one of the most popular casino games, and with no breakout app in the blackjack genre, we identified this opportunity to create a category-defining product.

In the end, we discovered some great opportunities for innovation, and those insights drove the development of myVEGAS Blackjack. We’re confident that the final product will appeal to the casual and sophisticated table gamers as well as our established slot players,” said Andrew Pascal, founder, president and chief executive officer of PLAYSTUDIOS.
