AGS (the “Company”), a number one gaming supplier with one of the crucial industry’s most diversified product portfolios, announced today that its Buster Blackjack side bet has doubled its footprint within the field during Q1 of 2016, gaining greater than 250 additional placements for a complete of greater than 500 placements in approximately 90 casinos around the U.S., establishing the sport as one of the crucial fastest-growing side bets on this planet. Recent installations include Las Vegas strip properties similar to Caesar’s Palace, The Venetian, and Excalibur, in addition to Graton Resort & Casino in Northern California and Gila River Casino in Arizona.

“AGS acquired Buster Blackjack in September 2015, and within the first quarter of fiscal year 2016 we’ve already doubled the game’s install base,” said John Hemberger, vice chairman of table products for AGS. “Thanks to its easy-to-understand gameplay, payout simplicity, and the joy it adds to any standard blackjack table, we’ve seen an explosion within the game’s popularity, which has translated into exceptional performance for our casino partners.”  

Easily added to existing blackjack games and side bets, Buster Blackjack is an optional post-game side bet that lets players win odds-based payouts when a dealer busts. The volume of cards within the dealer’s busted hand determines the payout the player receives. The more cards within the dealer’s busted hand, the more payout players receive for the Buster bet. Its simple gameplay lets dealers easily explain the bet to players, and it doesn’t interfere with or decelerate the sport since all bets are quickly resolved with all players losing or getting paid equal amounts.  

“It’s been not up to two years since we created AGS’ table games division, and we’re thrilled to have already got greater than 1,000 table products within the field,” Hemberger added. “The growth of our table games business, and particularly Buster Blackjack, is a testament to the strength and variety of our growing product catalog and casino operator’s increasing appetite for greater product and vendor variety.”
