AGS has taken its progressive table-game system Bonus Spin Xtreme online for the first time, launching it exclusively on Rush Street Interactive's BetRivers and PlaySugarHouse brands, the companies announced on 5 August 2026. The product has run on casino floors since 2020; this is its first real-money online deployment.
The exclusive deal, running through the end of 2026, covers Michigan, New Jersey, Delaware and West Virginia in the US, plus Ontario and Alberta in Canada. Bonus Spin Xtreme's linked jackpot had already paid out more than $100,000 online within its first month, according to the release.
A land-based system, ported whole
Bonus Spin Xtreme is a side-bet system layered onto standard table games, five titles including Blackjack Double Deck, Blackjack Single Deck, Blackjack Side Bets, America's Blackjack and War. Players who take the side bet trigger a wheel spin that multiplies payouts, and a "Power Up" wheel can unlock one of two linked progressive jackpots shared across every casino running the system.
On a casino floor, that means a physical wheel and a bank of linked machines. Online, AGS had to rebuild the entire mechanic in software, from the wheel spin animation to the jackpot pool that pays out identically whether a player is at a physical table in Michigan or on a phone in Ontario. AGS says the land-based version has cleared 1,000 casino installations and has a history of seven-figure annual jackpot payouts, the track record it is now betting will carry over online.
John Hemberger, AGS's Senior Vice President and General Manager of Tables, said the company was "confident we can bring the casino floor excitement and big-win potential of traditional progressive games to the online space." Rush Street Interactive chief executive Richard Schwartz said the launch was about "giving them more ways to play and enjoy their experience," and AGS Vice President of Interactive Zoe Ebling called it one more result of a "close and strategic partner" relationship with Rush Street built up over several years.
Suppliers are mining the floor for online content
The bigger pattern here is land-based IP funding online growth rather than new game development. Suppliers have already done this with slot mechanics, most visibly in the disputes over who owns a given reel or bonus feature once it moves between studios. AGS is applying the same idea to table games: an established, proven physical product gets a second life as a software product, at a fraction of the cost of designing something new from scratch.
It also gives a mid-tier operator like Rush Street Interactive a way to compete on content instead of promotional spend. DraftKings and FanDuel dominate marketing budgets; a genuine exclusive on a title with a real jackpot history is one of the few levers a smaller operator has left. The simultaneous US-and-Canada rollout also signals that suppliers now plan multi-jurisdiction launches from day one rather than testing in one state first, similar to how progressive jackpot networks are built to scale across markets rather than one casino at a time.
What to watch
The exclusive runs only through the end of 2026. Whether AGS extends it with Rush Street or opens Bonus Spin Xtreme to other operators next year will show whether this is a lasting content play or a limited-run test of land-to-digital conversion. Either way, the model, take a proven floor product and rebuild it as software, is one other table-game suppliers sitting on similar IP libraries are likely to copy.

The wheel just learned to spin in software
AGS is not inventing a new way to gamble, it is proving an old one survives the move online. If the jackpot keeps paying at floor rates, expect every supplier with a dormant physical mechanic to start asking the same question about its own back catalogue.
