In November, American Gaming Systems (AGS) launched its Bonus Spin Xtreme table game progressive at Jamul Casino Resort, offering poker players access to the side bet system for the first time in San Diego County, California.

Bonus Spin Xtreme links poker players to a shared jackpot pool and a community wheel spin triggered by qualifying hands, providing opportunities to transition smaller side bets into jackpot payouts.
