Awager partners with BetMGM to launch live-streamed physical slots

BetMGM has partnered with Awager to make its live-streamed slots offering available to BetMGM and Borgata Online players in New Jersey. 

The platform allows players to access physical slot machines operating in regulated studio environments remotely. Gameplay is delivered via live 4K video, machine audio, and real-time responsiveness.

At launch, the offering includes 50 physical cabinets and more than 30 game titles, including Aristocrat Gaming's Buffalo Ascension and Lightning Link

Superna Kalle, CSO at Aristocrat, said: "Bringing land-based play online is at the heart of our mission to deliver a truly authentic casino experience straight to players' devices. We're incredibly proud to partner with BetMGM on this launch and continue expanding access to real slot machine play. 

"Together, we're creating new ways for players to enjoy the games they love while preserving the authenticity and trust that make the land-based casino experience so compelling."

Rob Passerino, Director of Gaming at BetMGM, said: "At BetMGM, we're committed to bringing new and innovative gaming experiences to our players. The addition of Awager's live slots offering creates an exciting new way for our players to engage with slot machines digitally. 

"This is just the beginning of our partnership and we look forward to continuing to work together to explore new opportunities that further enhance the BetMGM online casino experience."

Awager operates multiple live-streaming studios across North America and Europe, using its own hardware, software and streaming technology to connect players with physical slot machines.

Awager is owned by Aristocrat, which acquired the company as part of its expansion into live-streamed gaming.

BetMGM has also expanded its live casino offering in Alberta, where players can now access live blackjack, roulette and baccarat streamed directly from MGM Resorts destinations in Las Vegas.
