Hacksaw Gaming Forges Alliance with BetMGM to Expand Ontario Footing

Hacksaw Gaming, a creator of cutting edge online casino games, has signed a content agreement with BetMGM aimed at enhancing the studio’s presence in the province of Ontario, Canada’s digital iGaming hotbed.

Under the terms of the deal, Hacksaw Gaming’s chart topping slot titles Wanted Dead or a Wild and R.I.P. City are now available to play at BetMGM’s Ontario-facing digital casino platform, with more thrilling Hacksaw Gaming content to be integrated over the coming months.

Today’s move consolidates Hacksaw Gaming’s standing in the fast-growing market, with BetMGM becoming the eighth Ontario-licensed operator on the studio’s books. Only last month Hacksaw Gaming celebrated more positive developments on the regulatory front after it received a B2B supplier permit from the SGA (Swedish Gambling Authority).

CCO of Hacksaw Gaming, Gabrielle Star, exclaimed: “We’re super excited to strike up a relationship with a true industry mainstay. BetMGM is a household name boasting a rich heritage in both land-based and digital iGaming arenas, and this partnership will help us reach new audiences through our award-winning content that has already proved a hit with casino fans in Ontario.
