1X2 Network boosts US roll-out with BetMGM deal

In-demand game developer adds tier-one operator to its growing roster of partners in North America

1X2 Network, the award-winning content provider, continues to take the North American market by storm following a major deal with BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator.

The direct integration with BetMGM means the operator’s players now have access to a huge selection of slot and crash titles from across the 1X2 Network game studio portfolio. This includes player favourite titles including Wolf Strike, Eagle Strike and 1 Million Megaways™ BC from Iron Dog Studio, Reel Diamonds from 1X2gaming, and the Prospector Wilds series from Prospect Gaming.

These slots combine great themes, striking design, booming sound and compelling gameplay that promises to put players on the edge of their seats with each spin.

But that’s just the start. BetMGM players can also strap into the cutting-edge crash game Crashout Maverick. This flagship game from 1X2 Network’s arcade division AD LUNAM, has hit the mark with players around the world, delivering action-packed gameplay, and near instantaneous response times.

The 1X2 portfolio of games is available at BetMGM in Michigan initially, following closely by Ontario, with further markets available across North America (pending regulatory approval) in the coming year.

Kevin Reid, Chief Executive Officer at 1X2 Network, said: “We have ambitious plans for the North American market and what better way to build further momentum here than by partnering with one of the most prestigious operators, BetMGM.

“Our games are proving to be hugely popular with players in the US thanks to the great themes, bold design and gripping gameplay built into each title. This includes Crashout Maverick, which has quickly become one of the top crash games in the market.

“This is a significant deal for 1X2 Network and really does mark our arrival as a leading content provider in the fast-growing market.”

We look forward to seeing them fire up the reels on big action slots such as Wolf Strike and enjoying the thrills and spills of Crashout Maverick”.

Jeremy Ausmus, the 2024 PokerGO Tour (PGT) Player of the Year, capped off his extraordinary season by capturing the PGT $1,000,000 Championship title, earning an impressive $500,000 first-place prize.

Ausmus entered the event as the 2024 PGT Player of the Year, a title that capped off a season of consistent excellence across the world’s toughest poker tournaments. Ausmus finished the PGT regular season with 2966 points from 26 cashes. Entering the season-ending event, Ausmus had won $5,991,016 in prize money from PGT-qualifying events. His performance in the $1,000,000 Championship underscored his dominance and served as a fitting conclusion to his outstanding year on the felt.

The PGT $1,000,000 Championship, held at the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas, brought together 40 of the top-ranked players from the tour’s leaderboard and a select group of 10 Dream Seat winners. Ausmus entered the final table as the shortest stack with six players remaining. He found himself as a towering chip leader during three-handed play and never looked back from there. On the final hand, Ausmus correctly picked off a bold all-in river bluff from Nick Schulman to secure first-place honors.
