Each game features a unique 'go live' button, taking players onto the ice and directly into BetMGM's live dealer version of the same game.

BetMGM’s award-winning online casino is home to over 1,500 games and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot networks. In 2023, BetMGM was named Casino Operator of the Year by SBC North America, EGR North America, Global Gaming Awards, and American Gambling Awards.
