Game shows have been delighting the masses for nearly a century. They first appeared on radio and later TV and have endured because they don’t only entertain us but also allow us to entertain dreams about winning the prizes ourselves.

Many of these game shows make perfect formats for live dealer online casino games due to their inclusion of elements of chance. For example, people playing Plinko on “The Price is Right” are at the mercy of the random bounces of the game puck.

BetMGM Casino and its game developer partners have taken some of the elements of the most popular game shows to give players a chance to nab the spotlight through engaging live dealer game show experiences. With these live dealer titles, it’s easier than ever to live your game show dreams.

The Appeal Behind Game Show-Themed Online Casino Games

If you’ve ever watched shows like “Jeopardy” or “Wheel of Fortune,” you’d have felt the anticipation and the thrill that these games can provide. Whether the contestants lose or win, the entertainment value of these shows is high.

Just like the best game show-themed slots at BetMGM Casino, live dealer game show experiences borrow that excitement. They also provide the thrilling anticipation of walking away with great prizes, as well as the potential payoff in the form of that exciting climax.

People enjoying these games on BetMGM have the chance to win real-cash prizes just like the contestants on their favorite game shows. There’s another commonality between BetMGM’s top live dealer titles and the most popular game shows.

How a Live Experience Makes These Online Casino Games Better

While most game shows are heavily edited, it isn’t uncommon for the shows to do live specials. Live game shows elevate the entertainment value even higher because you see contestants’ reactions as they occur.

One of the benefits of playing online live dealer casino games is that the action always happens in real time. There’s no editing or prerecording in live dealer games at BetMGM.

At the same time, you’ll still enjoy the same professional broadcast quality as any television studio’s game show in BetMGM’s live dealer games. BetMGM gives players many experiences that they can’t find anywhere else.

Enjoy Exclusive Live Dealer Casino Games Based on Game Shows

BetMGM is committed to giving players the ultimate online casino experience, including the best selection of exclusive titles. Among other things, BetMGM secured the rights to produce casino game titles based on popular game shows like “Family Feud” and “The Price is Right” to fulfill that commitment.

BetMGM and its game developer partners like Evolution take these properties and create new twists on them, making them pure games of chance. The people hosting these live dealer games keep the action moving, giving you your chance to win big.

The greatest thing about playing these games at BetMGM is that you can enjoy them while also taking advantage of all the benefits that BetMGM offers. These include the best casino VIP program available and amazing promotions for all players.

Live Dealer Games To Try at BetMGM Casino

You can join the show any time you like from anywhere BetMGM operates with BetMGM’s huge library of the best live dealer games. People in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are welcome as long as they are at least 21 years old.

If you’re not sure where to begin, a comprehensive guide to live dealer casino games can help you explore your options and find the perfect fit.

Although all of the live dealer titles on BetMGM’s menu are worth sampling, a few recommendations are ideal for people who want a game show experience.

First Person Deal or No Deal

The exciting game show where you try to beat the odds and make the banker up the ante comes to you in a way that only BetMGM can provide. First Person Deal or No Deal puts you at the center of the action with live dealers guiding you through every decision.

Dream Catcher

Live dealer games and game shows both aim to make players’ dreams come true. Dream Catcher – a game at BetMGM that blends both forms of entertainment – is a take on a classic spin-to-win format with a live dealer twist.

Football Studio

With BetMGM, you can experience the next-best thing to a real football game with Football Studio. This live card game features a gridiron table and action that is a cross between baccarat and football. 

Lightning Roulette

When you’re playing a live game show, luck can strike as quickly as lightning. The Lightning Roulette title has a similar pace with an experienced live dealer keeping the game moving.

All these games and more are yours to enjoy when you register for BetMGM. You might not ever find yourself in a television game show but with BetMGM, you can try for as many minutes of fame as you like.
