Customers will have access to casino games, with a range of jackpot, video and 3D slots available, alongside live dealer blackjack and roulette products and classic table games, with content supplied by BetSoftGaming, Net Entertainment and Microgaming.

“He’s an inspirational individual, not to mention a champion many times over, and we’re confident as experienced industry frontrunners that we can achieve the same levels of success for this new endeavour,” SBTech CEO Itai Zak said of Holyfield. “This will be a site developed by champions for champions.”

Meanwhile, gaming solutions provider Scientific Games has announced that its online casino games will be rolled out in New Jersey, through its partnership with bwin.party digital entertainment.

Customers of websites such as BorgataCasino.com and NJ.partypoker.com will now have access to a range of online slots games developed by the Scientific Games Williams studio, including online versions of land-based titles on casino floors throughout Atlantic City such as Gold Fish, Zeus III, and Spartacus Gladiator of Rome.

Partypoker’s group director of poker Jeffrey Haas said that providing players with great games and entertainment was its number one priority.
