Game developer Playtech Online gambling at MGM Resorts Sin City
According to Playtech, operators in regulated areas outside of the US will have access to the MGM Live games, which include baccarat, single- and double-zero roulette, and more.

According to Playtech COO Shimon Akad, who spoke with iGaming Business, MGM Live will initially focus on the Mexican and British markets. We will roll out in more controlled markets later on.

"We will assess the potential for providing this in the US in due course and in accordance with igaming legislation," Akad clarified.

There has never been a gaming experience like the one in Sin City. According to Akad, "customers in regulated markets" will be able to enjoy "ultimate entertainment experiences" that mimic the sights and sounds of Las Vegas.

"Unparalleled experiences" will be offered by the live dealer product.
Head of MGM Resorts Bill Hornbuckle claims that the content, celebrity talent, and high-tech gaming experience will be unparalleled in the industry.

According to Playtech CEO Mor Weizer, the live casino offering merges the global renown of MGM with their interactive capabilities.
Hornbuckle stated, "Our strategic vision to be the world's premier gaming entertainment company" in reference to the introduction of the new live casino service. The launch will be carried out in conjunction with Playtech and will be held at the Bellagio and MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mor Weizer, CEO of Playtech, expressed his excitement about the partnership with MGM Resorts, calling it "a world-renowned gaming and entertainment brand."

"This collaboration enhances our dedication to delivering exceptional experiences and broadens our customer base internationally," he stated.

Playtech CEO Mor Weizer announced that MGM Live will allow the company to reach clients all around the world and provide them with experiences like none before. According to Weizer, "This alliance combines the strength of MGM Resorts' global prestige with Playtech's extensive international market knowledge and innovative games."

Expanding MGM Live is part of Playtech's strategy.
Exciting new opportunities to diversify the portfolio are in the works, including partnerships with Playtech, branded television game shows, celebrity-hosted trivia nights, and other unique Las Vegas entertainment experiences.

According to Shimon Akad, COO of Playtech, MGM Live will grow to include more interactive gameshows and other exclusive experiential offerings.
"Imagine one of the most watched game shows in the world, with the charm and charisma of famous hosts thrown in. That's what we're bringing to the table for the players," Akad remarked, adding that this was still in the works.

Having been chosen as the technology partner of MGM Resort, the COO expressed Playtech's honour.

"[We] are committed to creating and distributing cutting-edge entertainment materials and experiences in the online and igaming realms," he continued.

The ambitious omnichannel goals of MGM Resorts are realised.
Bill Hornbuckle, CEO of MGM, told iGB in December 2023 that the operator aimed to establish a comprehensive omnichannel ecosystem in Europe and beyond.

This came after LeoVegas was acquired for $604 million. The company used the acquisition as a springboard to establish BetMGM in the United Kingdom, one of its growth targets in areas without a physical location.

Hornbuckle, Bill, MGM Resorts
According casino CEO Bill Hornbuckle, MGM Resorts can engage clients globally by diversifying into digital.
Whether in Europe, Canada, or South America, we aim to diversify into digital through BetMGM, both domestically and ultimately through what we do with LeoVegas. We believe it's a significant approach to keep in touch with clients all year round," Hornbuckle stated back then.  

He dropped hints about potential ambitions to merge in-store and online gaming experiences. In this regard, the acquisition of the gaming studio Push Gaming by LeoVegas aids the ambitions.  

According to Hornbuckle, "the idea that we could create our own games is really important, both to feed our digital assets but also our brick-and-mortar assets and then ultimately to tie them all together." These assets include both digital and physical goods.
