BetMGM Announces Private Live Dealer Studio and Expanded Games Portfolio in Ontario

 

BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator, announced the opening of its branded live dealer studio and the expansion of its games portfolio in Ontario. These mark the first investments in the BetMGM Casino platform in Ontario since its launch on April 4th.

Upon its launch in Ontario, BetMGM Casino offered a collection of Evolution titles through its live dealer studios in Europe. Today, the brand launches a studio of its own, built in partnership with Evolution. BetMGM’s private studio is home to six live casino blackjack tables, and players will continue to have access to the full Evolution portfolio of online live casino games and games shows, Evolution First Person games, and NetEnt and Red Tiger online slots. It provides players the chance to interact with a live dealer and hundreds of other players at varying price points.

Additionally, BetMGM just released 108 new slot and video table games on BetMGM Casino, bringing its games count to over 170 games on iOS. The expansion is headlined by 30 exclusive titles like MGM Grand Millions, Premium Blackjack Pro, and Mega Mirage Magma. This latest update also features games from BetMGM partners NetEnt (Divine Fortune, Gonzo’s Quest), IGT (Cleopatra, Wheel of Fortune Megaways), Pariplay (Jackpot Fortunes, Spirit of Mustang), and Pragmatic Play (Cash Bonanza, Treasure Wild). BetMGM Casino also features more than 700 slots, table, and variety games on both Android and desktop.

“BetMGM is proud to continue Ontario launch celebrations through the rollout of our dedicated live dealer studio and the expansion of our slot and table games portfolio on BetMGM Casino,” said Matthew Sunderland, VP of Gaming, BetMGM. “Through our live offering, the goal is to strengthen Ontarians’ touchpoints with our iconic, black-and-gold BetMGM brand. By more than doubling our games count through in-house, exclusive games, and relationships with our partners, we’re pleased to bring a larger piece of what’s become the industry’s best portfolio in the U.S. to our new players in Canada.”

As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets, 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.

INCENTIVE GAMES SECURES ONTARIO GAMING LICENSE

 

Incentive Games, a leading B2B games provider, is proud to announce that it has been awarded an Ontario Gaming License by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), effective today. This achievement enables the company to offer its portfolio of real-money games to licensed operators and players across the province.

The license underscores the Incentive Games’ commitment to meeting the highest standards of compliance, security, and operational excellence. The rigorous application process demands robust security protocols and comprehensive responsible gaming measures and affirms the company’s readiness to enter one of Canada’s most dynamic iGaming markets.

The North American market is a strategic focus for Incentive Games, and this milestone follows closely on the heels of the company receiving its Provisional Michigan gaming licence from the Michigan Gaming Control Board earlier this month.

Incentive Games will distribute its real-money gaming content in Ontario through Incentive Studios, the company’s dedicated Real-Money Gaming division, ensuring a focused and tailored approach to the market.

“Ontario represents a huge opportunity for us, and securing this license is a proud moment for the whole team,” said John Gordon, Chief Executive Officer at Incentive Games. “It reinforces our dedication to meeting the highest standards while delivering compelling real-money content. We’re looking forward to building strong relationships in the region and continuing our momentum across regulated markets worldwide.”
