New slot, arcade, and crash games are coming to PokerStars Casino in the U.S. under an agreement with 1X2 Network.

The U.K.-based company 1X2 Network, an iGaming provider, announced last week they have entered a new deal with online casino PokerStars. 1X2 Network and PokerStars Casino already have a collaboration in Europe. PokerStars Casino has been providing European players with 1X2 Network’s latest slots for quite some time now.

Under the new agreement iconic slot titles from 1X2 Network appear with PokerStars in the U.S., like player-favorites Wolf Strife and Eagle Strike from Iron Dog Studio. Casino players can also access the first aviation-themed “crash game,” Crashout Maverick from AD LUNAM. Crashout Maverick made its first U.S. appearance in Michigan with BetRivers Casino.

With the new PokerStars deal, company officials reflected on 1X2 Network’s expansion in the U.S.

“This new deal with PokerStars Casino reflects our commitment to delivering top-quality games to players around the world,” said Kevin Reid, chief executive officer at 1X2 Network, in a company press release. “With our recent launch in Michigan just this April, it is exciting to see an increasing demand for our content from U.S. casinos. This partnership with PokerStars marks an exciting opportunity to further introduce our games to this exciting market.”

Tyler Matthews, head of casino from PokerStars Casino also commented saying, “At PokerStars Casino, we are constantly striving to offer our players the best gaming experience possible. Having worked with 1X2 Network before, we are certain that this new deal will provide our players in Michigan with even more gaming excitement and variety.”

1X2 Network Takes North American by Storm

The PokerStars agreement follows behind 1X2 Network’s announcement last month of a partnership with Light & Wonder. That news will see new 1X2 Network slot games added at Rush Street Interactive’s BetRivers Casino in Michigan.

Seven states in the U.S. have legal iGaming, or online casinos. Connecticut, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Rhode Island make up the iGaming states.

Let’s look at just one of the top 1X2 Network games now available at online casinos in the U.S.

Eagle Strike

Nothing is more fitting for U.S. slot players than a game based on the bald eagle. Eagle Strike, a 5×3 video slot, offers a host of rewards, like Wilds, Expanding Wilds, Coins collection, Scatters, Free Spins, and a Hold and Win feature. A bald eagle stands as the wild symbol in the game. During Free Spins, the eagle may appear and spread its wings to clear the screen in one swoop guaranteeing a win.

Eagle Strike has a Return-To-Player (RTP) rating of 96.12%, labeling it a low-volatility game. RTP is a term used in gambling and online games to refer to the percentage or prizes that will be returned to a player. The game also has a Mini, Minor, and Major jackpot that can reach a maximum of $5,000.00. The minimum bet in Eagle Strike is $0.10 with a maximum of $50.00.

You can find Eagle Strike at BetMGM and BetRivers.
