“Since launching Electric Poker in August, the reception from DraftKings Casino players has been very positive, leading to the expansion of the exclusive product to New Jersey,” DraftKings VP of iGaming Marketing and Operations Jason March said.
“We’re excited to be able to offer this exceptional title to more customers, delivering them a one-of-a-kind, innovative game and a first-class online poker experience.”
According to DraftKings, the in-house-built poker game has received positive engagement from customers since launch, leading to expansion across Michigan, Pennsylvania and now New Jersey.
Electric Poker is based on standard No Limit Texas Hold ’em rules with a “DraftKings twist,” including a randomly generated prize pool based on the prize multiplier, blind levels lasting two minutes, an electric mode feature and more.
