LAS
VEGAS, Feb. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts
International and BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming
operator, have launched 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.
Developed in collaboration with Everi Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:
EVRI), MGM Riches is a multi-denomination, multi-level progressive
slot game offering players two themes – 'MGM Riches Triple Ruby'
and 'MGM Riches 5x Sapphire.' Gameplay is consistent whether
in-person at 15 MGM Resorts destinations across the country or
online via BetMGM's iCasino platform in Michigan, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The game is scheduled to launch in West
Virginia in the near future.
"MGM Riches is designed to engage and entertain our slot
customers wherever they choose to play," said Mike Gatten, MGM Resorts International's Senior
Vice President of Slot Strategy. "With guest experience at the core
of what we do, we created this custom game for our loyal slot
customers who enjoy playing their favorite games and earning
rewards even when they're not at one of our properties."
Leveraging the MGM Resorts and BetMGM omnichannel integration,
MGM Rewards and BetMGM Rewards loyalty members can earn Tier
Credits with each spin. As players earn credits across both
channels, tier-based benefits are unlocked for future redemption at
MGM Resorts' domestic destinations. The platform also offers
players the opportunity to qualify for multiple member-only
experiences, including exclusive concerts and sporting events,
gaming tournaments and the annual Holiday Gift Shoppe. BetMGM
Rewards points may be transferred to MGM Rewards points and
redeemed for complimentary dining, entertainment, hotel stays and
more at MGM Resorts properties nationwide including Bellagio and
ARIA in Las Vegas, Borgata in
Atlantic City and MGM Grand
Detroit in Michigan, among
others.
Angus Nisbet, BetMGM's Vice
President of Gaming, said, "The launch of MGM Riches directly
connects BetMGM's leading online casino offerings to MGM Resorts
iconic destinations. We are thrilled to offer this first-of-its
kind slot and to continue to bring innovative content to our
players."
David Lucchese, Everi's Executive
Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Digital, said, "The
development of MGM Riches is another example of MGM Resorts' and
BetMGM's focus on patron engagement, their commitment to being
top-tier operators in land-based and online, and Everi's ability to
deliver exciting, omnichannel gaming entertainment experiences to
both land-based and online players. Everi's customer-driven
approach with BetMGM to enhance their players' gaming experiences
has enabled the delivery of our high-performing iGaming content
across North America. This new
multi-level progressive slot game also adds to Everi Digital's
catalog of nearly 70 distinct titles, all housed and delivered via
our state-of-the art proprietary Spark Remote Game Server™."

Responsible gaming education remains a key focus for MGM Resorts
and BetMGM. Both companies are proud to provide employee training
and offer resources to help customers play responsibly including
GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to
MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. MGM
Resorts' casino floors feature more than 22,000 slot machines that
display GameSense messaging. Additionally, 8,500 of those machines
feature QR codes that offer access to responsible gaming
information and educational materials from GameSense. Through the
integration within BetMGM's mobile and desktop platforms, customers
can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to count
on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM's
already existing responsible gaming tools which serve to provide
customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
