BetMGM Casino in Michigan will be the first online casino in the US where players can access NetGaming’s content.
US.- Igaming and sports betting operator BetMGM has announced a partnership with casino game developer NetGaming. The developer’s portfolio of slot titles will be exclusively available on BetMGM Casino in Michigan, with additional slot titles planned to roll out in all states in which BetMGM’s igaming offering is live.
BetMGM Casino in Michigan will be the first online platform in the US where players can access NetGaming’s content, which includes 3 Wild Jokers, Skulls Gone Wild, and the Shelby online video slot, a collaboration with the car manufacturer Carrol Shelby.
Oliver Bartlett, director of Gaming at BetMGM, said: “At BetMGM we’re driven to offer players more choices and the most entertaining, fresh and exclusive content available on the market. We’re thrilled to be working with NetGaming, as they have an exciting portfolio of games that will appeal to our customers in Michigan and beyond.”
Pallavi Deshmukh, CEO of NetGaming, added: “NetGaming’s distinctive themes and exciting gameplay add to BetMGM’s award-winning online casino which is home to over 1500 titles. BetMGM has built the largest state-by-state exclusive in-house progressive jackpot network in the country and awarded over $100 million in progressive jackpots in 2022.
“We are thrilled to launch in Michigan with BetMGM. It’s a testament to our hard work over many years. Securing a long-term deal with the top iGaming operator in the U.S. is extremely exciting and we look forward to working with BetMGM to deliver entertaining games. This is just the beginning of our relationship with BetMGM, as we intend to launch our content across the country, as more states regulate.”
BetMGM and Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino have launched Dual Play Roulette on BetMGM and Borgata Online Casino in New Jersey. The roulette, which is provided by Evolution, allows players at a physical roulette table and players online to participate in the same game. The roulette is located on Borgata’s gaming floor with multiple cameras positioned around the table.
BetMGM has also signed a market access agreement with Revolutionary Racing Kentucky (RRKY) allowing BetMGM to bring its online and retail sports betting platform to Kentucky when legal sports betting launches in the state.
