The first live mobile tournament is the All Summer Long Winner Takes All Progressive Slot Tournament. Participants have the opportunity to spin the wheels for a chance to win a minimum grand prize of $10,000.

The easyPLAY platform gives guests the chance to win thousands of dollars in cash and prizes via regularly scheduled classic gaming tournaments, including slots, bingo, and video poker, plus social, casual, and console games.

MGM patrons age 21 and older can participate in easyPLAY tournaments from any mobile device, personal laptop, or the new InteractivePro Tables.
