BetMGM Becomes First Online Casino in the World to Debut Buffalo Slot
BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced Buffalo, a land-based casino favorite, is now available at its online casino. BetMGM is the world’s first online casino to offer the Buffalo slot. Buffalo now is available to play at BetMGM in New Jersey and the operator plans to launch the game in the near future in Pennsylvania and Michigan.
For over a decade at brick-and-mortar casinos, the Buffalo slot machine by Aristocrat has gained immense popularity. Anaxi, Aristocrat’s online Real Money Gaming business, has reimagined the fan favorite for online play. Buffalo is a 20-line 5×4 slot game where players aim to win by filling the screen with Buffalo symbols.
“BetMGM is honored to be the first online destination for Buffalo. We are ready to bring the thrill and excitement of Buffalo to our players in New Jersey and additional states this fall. Anaxi captured the fast-paced elements of Buffalo which players love and are now able to experience in the palm of their hands,” Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, said.
In February 2023, Anaxi announced a strategic partnership with BetMGM. Buffalo is the first of Anaxi’s world class gaming content available at BetMGM.
Cath Burns, COO of Anaxi, said: “The stampede has officially begun, and we’re thrilled that BetMGM players can now enjoy the iconic Buffalo game online.”
BetMGM’s award-winning online casino is home to over 1500 games and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot networks. During the first half of 2023, the company awarded nearly $75 million in jackpots and is on pace to shatter the $100 million jackpot milestone set in 2022.
