Playstudios expands virtual casino game rewards to real Mississippi casinos

Moving forward with its idea of rewarding gamers with real-world comps, Playstudios has expanded its social-casino game rewards to two real-world casinos in Mississippi: the Beau Rivage and Gold Strike resorts. That means that the connection between social-casino games and real casino gambling is working.

The Burlingame, Calif.-based game company’s reach is moving beyond Las Vegas for the first time. Playstudios’ mobile and social-casino slots game MyVegas gives real-world rewards such as comps for hotel stays in Las Vegas in partnership with MGM Resorts International, the owner of a host of casino and entertainment properties in Las Vegas and around the globe.
