The two companies will bring the electronic table game to properties across the US and Canada.

Gaming Arts, a provider of electronic table games in the US, has announced the signing of a partnership with the Taiwanese brand Jumbo Technologies. 

Per the terms of this agreement, the two companies will work to launch the Ocean Phoenix table game in North American casinos.

First revealed in 2021, Ocean Phoenix features a seven-foot-long gaming console to accommodate six different players. At the center of the table is a 66-inch screen on which players compete to capture each of the game’s four characters.

Jean Venneman, Gaming Arts COO, noted: "Ocean Phoenix is unlike any gaming machine now on casino floors. We are pleased to work with Jumbo to bring this exciting game to the North American markets. The arcade style cabinet will attract players and build a loyal fanbase as they encounter exciting characters.”

The table game was first debuted in 2021 and has since become available at the Pechanga Resort Casino, 

Speaking on the product’s launch at Pechanga, Allen Hsu, Jumbo Technologies Vice President stated: "We are very excited to have this opportunity to launch our first multiplayer Fishing Game, which has been popular in Asia, in one of the best casinos in North America. It's been a privilege to work hand in glove with Gaming Arts for this project, and we are hoping the game will provide US Players an exceptional gaming experience."

Gaming Arts is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada and is currently licensed to operate in approximately 150 jurisdictions.
