The report was last updated on Feb. 15; the live slots launched on Feb. 11.
There are 12 online live slots that include the following games:
- Lepre’coins
- Buffalo, Spitfire Multipliers
- Hotter than Blaze

Unlike other online slots, there is only one player per machine for live slot play online.
The DGE is set to update the Atlantic City slots jackpot list at the first of the month.
