The operator is leveraging MGM Resorts International destinations to bridge the gap between digital play and the physical casino floor.
BetMGM has launched live dealer casino games streamed directly from Las Vegas for players in Alberta, according to reporting from the Financial Post. The offering allows users to engage in real-time baccarat, roulette, and blackjack hosted by professional dealers.
Unlike many North American jurisdictions that mandate broadcasts from local studios, Alberta players can access streams from MGM Resorts International destinations. This includes "Dual Play" games from the MGM Grand and Bellagio, which allow online participants to play in the same games as in-person guests. The service is powered by a collaboration between Playtech and MGM Resorts International.
Rob Passerino, Director of Gaming at BetMGM, stated that live dealer content is among the fastest-evolving sectors in iGaming. Passerino noted that the real-time interaction and the ability to watch spins and hands unfold live provide a sense of authenticity intended to bridge the gap between the casino floor and online gaming to create a more immersive experience for the player.
