Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced it is the first in the industry to launch IGT’s newest installment of its beloved slot title, Kitty Glitter Grand. The game is now live across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, and Ontario. It’s also available at Caesars Rewards destinations in Atlantic City, including Caesars and Harrah’s, with Tropicana set to join the lineup soon, subject to final regulatory approval.

This debut marks IGT’s first simultaneous exclusive launch of a game both online and in casinos in the US. As a result, Caesars is currently the only place where fans of the Kitty Glitter franchise can experience this latest installment, whether in person or online.

“The popularity of Kitty Glitter Grand speaks for itself across gaming floors at our Caesars Rewards destinations, which is why we couldn’t be happier that our players will be the first to enjoy the newest title in this renowned brand’s history. We know how impactful exclusive launches can be, so we’re grateful to our partners at IGT for their trust in partnering with us on their first simultaneous online and in-casino launch in the United States. We’re committed to bringing first-to-market, unforgettable experiences to our online casino players that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.

“The exclusive launch of Kitty Glitter Grand is another shining example of how we’re strengthening the powerful connection between our world-class destinations in Atlantic City and beyond with our dynamic digital platforms. We’re uniquely positioned to deliver exclusive, first-to-market gaming experiences that our guests can enjoy both on the casino floor and from the comfort of their home. This launch underscores our commitment to offering best-in-class entertainment wherever our players choose to engage,” said Barron Fuller, Regional President at Caesars Entertainment.

For more than twenty years, Kitty Glitter has been a fan favorite in brick-and-mortar casinos, and its enduring popularity continues to captivate players. This latest installment offers an enhanced gameplay experience with recognizable collection features that players already know and love from the original Kitty Glitter game, while adding even more compelling new enhancements. Both new players and fans of the original can enjoy an added wheel bonus and random wilds in the base game, which help boost these themes to the next level.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Caesars on the exclusive launch of Kitty Glitter Grand, a title that builds on one of IGT’s most iconic brands. This first-of-its-kind simultaneous launch across online and land-based channels in the U.S. reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering engaging content that resonates with players wherever they choose to play,” said Nick Khin, CEO of Gaming at IGT.

In celebration of this special debut, Caesars plans to host an exclusive VIP event for select Caesars Rewards members at Caesars Atlantic City in August. The Company is also running an omnichannel promotion at its Atlantic City destinations and a special leaderboard promotion across its digital platforms in all jurisdictions where it offers iGaming, excluding Ontario.

On Aug. 2, Dry Creek Rancheria and Caesars Entertainment broke ground on a joint project to turn River Rock Casino into Caesars Republic Sonoma County. The partnership was launched when Dry Creek Rancheria selected Caesars Entertainment as its development and management partner for the new integrated resort. Citizens led the project financing, with Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. serving as the lead real estate financing partner. Caesars Republic Sonoma County is located off Hwy 101 and sits above the Alexander Valley Vineyards, providing breathtaking views of both the vineyards and the Russian River.

“Breaking ground on Caesars Republic Sonoma County marks a monumental moment for Dry Creek Rancheria. This partnership with Caesars Entertainment represents more than just a new chapter in our casino’s story — it’s a bold leap into the future for our Tribe and our community. Together, we are creating a world-class resort experience that blends the natural beauty of Sonoma County with premier gaming, hospitality and entertainment. We are proud to work alongside Caesars, Citizens and GLPI to bring this vision to life and elevate our economic and cultural legacy. This project is a powerful step forward and we are eager to share it with the region and beyond,” said Chris Wright, Chairman of Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians.

The resort casino will be completely transformed and will feature a new casino floor with more than 1000 slot machines and 28 table games. The destination will also be home to a new 100-room hotel with a luxury spa, pool, and fitness center.

“On the heels of a successful launch of Caesars Republic in Lake Tahoe, we couldn’t think of a better place than Sonoma County to continue the brand’s expansion. We’re excited to partner with Dry Creek Rancheria to bring this incredible destination to life and offer a new, elevated and unique experience for our guests to indulge in, right in the heart of wine country,” said Anthony Carano, President and COO at Caesars Entertainment.

Caesars Republic Sonoma County will also offer a robust food and beverage line-up, including a steakhouse, an upscale café, an Asian concept, and an elevated quick-service option. Additionally, guests can enjoy a fireside bar, sports bar, and the resort’s dedicated wine bar, which will have an outdoor deck providing unparalleled views of the valley.

“Dry Creek Rancheria and Caesars are creating a premier gaming destination in Sonoma County. We appreciate the opportunity to support Dry Creek, leverage our lending relationships and partner with Caesars and GLPI to help set the foundation for the long-term success of the Tribe,” said Jason Miller, Head of Debt Capital Markets at Citizens.

Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GLPI, said: “We are proud to be initiating a long-term relationship with Dry Creek Rancheria in our role as the lead real estate financing partner for Caesars Republic Sonoma County. We are also delighted to expand our long-term relationship with Caesars Entertainment. GLPI’s involvement in this project is consistent with our underwriting and coverage criteria as well as our focus on aligning with and supporting our tenants, who are the industry’s leading regional gaming operators. Caesars Republic Sonoma County represents an exciting opportunity to develop a world-class destination in the heart of California’s iconic Sonoma Valley wine region.”

Caesars Republic Sonoma County will be part of Caesars Entertainment’s expansive Caesars Rewards network. Guests who stay and play at the resort can earn and redeem Reward Credits at any of Caesars Entertainment’s 50+ destinations across the country, including Caesars Republic Sonoma County.
