Rakin’ Bacon Odyssey® continues BetMGM’s mission of leveraging its omnichannel advantage and connecting online and land-based casino play. In February 2023, MGM Resorts International and BetMGM debuted MGM Riches, the companies’ first custom slot experience that can be played both online via BetMGM and as a traditional slot game at MGM Resorts properties throughout the U.S. BetMGM and Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa launched Dual Play Roulette on BetMGM and Borgata Online Casino in New Jersey in August 2023. Dual Play Roulette, from Evolution Gaming allows players at the physical Roulette table in the casino and online players to participate in the same game.

BetMGM’s online casino is home to over 2,700 titles across North American markets and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot network. In 2023, BetMGM was named Casino Operator of the Year by SBC North America, EGR North America, Global Gaming Awards, and American Gambling Awards.

As BetMGM continues to expand into new jurisdictions, responsible gaming education remains a key focus. BetMGM is proud to provide resources to help customers play responsibly, including GameSense,  an industry-leading program developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the GameSense integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can directly access responsible gaming tools.
