Playtech partners with MGM Resorts International for Live Casino
PLAYTECH has announced a new strategic partnership with MGM Resorts International to produce proprietary, live casino content directly from the gaming floor at two of their resorts on the Las Vegas Strip.
Playtech, as the technology partner of MGM Resorts, will be providing players with on-demand, online access to immersive entertainment experiences directly from Bellagio and MGM Grand.
Live casino content, branded as “MGM Live”, will be licensed to operators for end-user play in regulated markets throughout the world outside the United States. Both brands look forward to working with operators to support and promote a safe gambling experience.
The initial live casino offering will include single and double-zero roulette and baccarat games streamed live from the casino floors at both MGM Grand and Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, and allow online players to simultaneously participate in the same game as players at the physical game table on the casino floor.
Future phases of the partnership will expand our offering to include access to several proprietary Playtech games as well as exclusive branded TV game shows, celebrity-hosted trivia shows, and immersive entertainment experiences.
“This partnership combines the strength of MGM Resorts’ global prestige with Playtech’s extensive international market knowledge and innovative games,” said Playtech CEO Mor Weizer. “As a leading technology provider in regulated markets, we’re delighted to collaborate with MGM Resorts to develop the MGM Live brand, offering an innovative live dealer experience.
“Together we are pioneering a new live entertainment category and product offering for players in regulated territories around the world.”
Bill Hornbuckle, CEO & president of MGM Resorts, said: “This agreement with Playtech represents an important step toward fulfilling MGM Resorts’ vision of delivering our unparalleled entertainment, sports and gaming experiences to people the world over. We believe the content, celebrity talent and sophisticated gaming experience we offer will be unmatched in the industry.”
