Muckleshoot Casino Becomes First Gaming Facility in the Nation to
Offer Streaming Wireless Virtual Reality; Continues Tradition of
Innovation in Entertainment
BELLEVUE, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Casino–Muckleshoot Casino bets on virtual reality (VR) and wins with VRstudios.
VRstudios, a leading global VR technology company offering wireless
immersive commercial entertainment and enterprise solutions, announced
today that Auburn, Washington’s Muckleshoot Casino has installed its
wireless, full-motion, multi-player VR system and experiences. The move
makes Muckleshoot Casino the first gaming facility in the nation to
offer streaming wireless VR and is already proving to be a hit with
customers.
“People of all ages are loving this riveting new experience. Some
customers are so enthralled they’ve played VRstudios’ games more than 15
times in a single night and then returned the next evening for another
round of fun,” said Junior Maldonado, Entertainment Manager of
Muckleshoot Casino.
The revolutionary VR system is being offered in the casino’s popular
nightlife venue, Club Galaxy. One- and two-player experiences transport
guests back in time to a town overrun by zombies or into the midst of a
Western-style shoot-out.
Muckleshoot Casino chose VRstudios of Bellevue, Washington, to continue
its long track record for industry-changing, world-class entertainment.
In only a few weeks, the VRstudios platform solution and experiences are
already attracting new customers to the biggest casino in the Pacific
Northwest.

entertainment never before offered, not only in the region, but in

Casino. “We chose VRstudios for its superior VR capabilities and rich
immersive content. Our groundbreaking partnership ensures our ability to
continually offer the newest forms of VR games. It reflects our
commitment to delivering unique, must-experience entertainment to our
guests.”
VRstudios has installed their VR systems and content with customers and
partners in eleven countries throughout Asia, Europe, Middle East,
Russia and the United States. The Muckleshoot relationship marks the
company’s first announcement of a casino installation.
“VRstudios’ industry-first approach to VR is attracting U.S. and
international theme parks, family entertainment centers, arcades and
other entertainment venues,” added Kevin Vitale, President of VRstudios.
“Entertainment companies are discovering that our platform and solutions
can help evolve and grow their businesses, as well as increase customer
loyalty.”
