A BRIDGE BETWEEN TWO WORLDS - iDROP LINKS SLOTS AND TABLES


iDROP is a complete innovative link between live table gaming and slots. Developed by Apex gaming iDROP has made a major impact at Casino Strážný in Czech Republic


One of the most popular casinos in the Czech Republic, Casino Strážný, has reported the positive major impact the iDROP has had on its business.
