About BetMGM

MGM is a big name in the world of bricks and mortar casinos and luxury hotels.  MGM Resorts International runs some of the most famous destinations in Las Vegas including Bellagio, MGM Grand, Park MGM and Luxor and they also have properties elsewhere in the US and worldwide.  BetMGM is their online brand and they have made their presence felt in a number of states where online casinos are allowed.

The US version of BetMGM is jointly owned by Entain and MGM Resorts International, but (surprisingly perhaps) Entain are not involved in the UK launch of the brand.  Instead, it’s managed by LeoVegas (which as a result of earlier M&A activity is now a subsidiary of MGM Resorts International).

BetMGM has a sports betting product as well as casino and live casino games.  The sportsbook has been designed to be really easy to use on a phone screen and they offer esports, politics, TV and novelty betting as well as a huge range of sports complete with in play betting and the free to play Golden Goals football predictor.

Slot Games At BetMGM

One of the really nice things about BetMGM is the care that’s been taken over the lobby.  The game tiles show the game provider and (where applicable) jackpot size as well as the name of the game in plain text, and there’s plenty of lobby categorisation to help you find games.  For example, during October they have a Halloween lobby tab to collect Immortal Romance, The Lost Boys, Full Moon Fever, Halloween Jack, Blood Suckers, Grim The Splitter, Tome of Madness and other occult themed slots together in the same place.  It goes without saying that there’s also an area for new releases.  Perhaps more unexpected is an area for classic slots where you’ll find the likes of Fire Joker and Joker’s Jewels.

The selection of jackpot slots at BetMGM is really impressive.  The lineup includes Jackpot King, WowPot, Mega Moolah, Dream Drop, Age of the Gods, Megapays and several others.

Then there’s the MGM Millions progressive jackpot that links BetMGM together with other LeoVegas managed brands.  This innovative jackpot means you can play for a very substantial jackpot on popular games such as Starburst, Book of Dead, Bonanza, Eye of Horus, Wolf Gold and many others.  It also includes a number of live casino games – Crazy Time, for instance.  The way that it works is that you opt in to MGM Millions in game and thereafter an extra 9p is added to your spin value to fund the mini, minor, major and mega jackpots.  At the time of writing (October 2024) the mega jackpot stands at more than £22 million.

Going beyond slots, there’s an area for non live dealer table games including various versions of roulette.  Live casino games are in a separate lobby and include many MGM specials live from Vegas.  Playtech Live, Stakelogic, Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, OnAir Entertainment and Ezugi all contribute games to the live casino making the choice of games almost unbeatable.  And as previously mentioned, some of these live games are included in the MGM Millions progressive jackpot – how’s that for a unique selling point?

Other Considerations

The BetMGM mobile apps are available for Apple and Android and give access to both the sportsbook and the casino games – get them from the app stores.

The promotions page at BetMGM is full of sports offers and also includes a few casino and live casino promotions; perhaps the best of these is the daily Golden Wheel which is free to enter for active players who have deposited in the last 30 days.  You can win sports betting profit boosts, live casino chips, free spins or (if you’re extremely lucky) cash and none of these prizes have any wagering requirements.

BetMGM does not have a wide choice of deposit methods and the ones it does have are essentially other ways of using a debit card (e.g. via Paypal).

Final Thoughts

BetMGM is being promoted as a premium online betting and gaming brand and it’s easy to see why.   The huge choice of games, coupled with the sportsbook, exclusive jackpots and great promotions make it a real winner.
