Star Trek: The Next Generation Slot Game Now Available Exclusively at BetMGM Casino

BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced that Star Trek: The Next Generation is now exclusively available at BetMGM Casino. Atlantic Digital, a London-based game studio, has created an immersive iGaming experience around one of the greatest science fiction television series of all time. Star Trek: The Next Generation is currently available in Michigan and BetMGM plans to make the slot available to all states where the operator’s iGaming offering is live.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is a high-volatility slot game with 5 reels, 5 symbols and 3125 ways to win. It takes players on a space-based slot adventure on the USS Enterprise with Star Trek characters Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Deanna Troi, William Riker, Data, and Worf. The symbols include 5 high character symbols, 5 low symbols, and a scatter symbol. The slot game features cascading reels, free spins, respin bonus, and Warp Speed wheel.
In September 2023, BetMGM announced its partnership with Atlantic Digital. BetMGM is the exclusive U.S. home of Atlantic Digital’s portfolio of proprietary games which features a series of prominent film and TV titles. The Godfather slot was the first title to launch from the partnership followed by Star Trek: The Next Generation.
“Star Trek is one of the biggest media franchises of all time. We are honored to expand its universe to iGaming. Star Trek: The Next Generation is a bonus-feature filled game that players will love. It is another perfect addition to our ever-growing library of games that can’t be found anywhere else in the United States,” Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM.
Atlantic Digital specializes in combining compelling gaming mechanics with some of the world’s hottest film and television brands to create immersive experiences for players. It adds to BetMGM’s award winning-online casino which is home to over 1500 games, in-house produced titles by Entain, first-class partnerships, and the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot network in the country.
“We are delighted to launch our second slot with BetMGM and it doesn’t get much bigger than Star Trek. We are very proud of this game and we have no doubt it will go intergalactic. Building on our already deep relationship with BetMGM, this is the start of many big titles to come in 2024. In the words of Picard, ‘Make it so, Number one’,” Sam Hobcraft, CEO of Atlantic Digital, said.

To reward early registrants, WSOP is introducing two new early-bird packages for players looking to secure their seats, with both offering massive added value:
-
The $100K Paradise Package – limited to just 500 packages, includes a 13-night stay (Dec. 5 to Dec. 18), complimentary access to the WSOP buffet and a $500 food & beverage room credit. The deposit to secure is $10,000.

For the first time at WSOP Paradise, resort fees are included in the package price, and the room credit is also provided for use throughout the resort. The full package amount must be played in WSOP Paradise events.
GGPoker will once again serve as the exclusive international satellite partner, aiming to send more than 1,000 players to the Super Main Event. WSOP Express and Road to Paradise qualifier tournaments are already underway in the GGPoker tournament lobby. Additionally, over 500 players are expected to qualify for the Circuit Championship through WSOP Circuit gold ring events (running from Jul. 1 through Dec. 2, 2025, both live and online), and ClubGG plans to send more than 400 players to the same event.
In an exciting new partnership, PokerStake will cover up to 50% of the unsold action for Circuit Package winners who choose to list their Super Main Event action on the platform.
“I said last year that a $50M guarantee was crazy, but adding another $10,000,000 on top is absolutely insane! The WSOP is bringing the biggest high rollers and the best poker experience possible back to paradise,” said Daniel Negreanu, GGPoker Global Ambassador. “With the new Super Mystery Bounty event and the expanded partnership with Triton, this is a can’t-miss festival for players of all levels. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
“With the WSOP Paradise at Atlantis Paradise Island tournament schedule now set, the countdown to The Bahamas IS ON!

WSOP Paradise 2025 will feature a daily live stream from Dec. 12 through Dec. 18 on the WSOP YouTube channel, with CBS Sports Network television coverage planned for distribution in early 2026.
Further details on event structures and schedules will be available on the WSOP+ app. The WSOP reserves the right to cancel, change, or modify the tournament or any tournament event, in part or in whole, without notice.

Fighting Game GOAT Justin Wong Joins BASILISK, Science’s Esports Team

BASILISK, the global esports organization built to champion science, announced the signing of legendary fighting game competitor Justin ‘Jwong’ Wong as captain of its newly formed Fighting Game Community (FGC) Division. Wong will lead BASILISK’s entry into the FGC by recruiting players, developing community events, and creating FGC – science crossover content.
“Justin isn’t just a competitive genius – he is a cultural icon and humble leader within the FGC. We are incredibly proud to have him leading our FGC division and support the amazing work he already does for the community,” said BASILISK co-founder Christopher Bothur.
A nine-time Evolution Championship Series (Evo) Champion and Guinness World Record holder, Wong brings unparalleled FGC credibility and expertise to BASILISK. His reach extends across the entire FGC fandom of millions, and he was immortalized in Evo Moment #37 which has over 100 million views.
As Captain of BASILISK FGC, Wong will leverage BASILISK’s data analytics to scout and train the next generation of FGC pros.
“Math is super important to fighting games. I’m excited to join science’s esports team. I’m passionate about finding promising players with a positive mentality and shaping them into the next big thing. I want to see somebody else in the spotlight after me and help them reach their potential. If we can discover the next world champion, that would be fantastic,” said Wong upon joining BASILISK.
The signing comes on the heels of BASILISK’s new partnerships with The Planetary Society and Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), announced in July. These collaborations create a powerful bridge between renowned scientific institutions and gamers, which Wong will amplify to his millions of followers and fans.
“Justin is a dream addition to our organization. He exemplifies the dedication and analytical capacity required to be an esports champion or great scientist,” added BASILISK co-founder Hans Kassier.
Wong becomes the second “GOAT” (Greatest of All Time) to join BASILISK, alongside Finnish StarCraft 2 legend Joona “Serral” Sotala, who just captured the SC2 Esports World Cup Championship in July 2025. The signing also creates opportunities for cross-over content with BASILISK’s diverse roster, including chess Grandmaster Vincent Keymer and award-winning science communicator Kyle Hill, who brings over 2.5 million followers and a vast network of science enthusiasts to the organization.
