MGM Live creates a unique omnichannel experience, letting in-person and interactive consumers play side by side at the Bellagio and MGM Grand.

Clarion Gaming Content Director Robin Harrison digs into the deal with Playtech Chief Executive Mor Weizer and MGM Resorts’ Senior Vice President and Head of Interactive Christian Stuart.

This makes good on MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle’s pledge to bring the land-based giant into the digital realm, Stuart explains. After “scouring the earth” for a partner capable of creating a seamless offering it ultimately selected Playtech on the strength of its technology.

“This is truly unique,” Weizer adds. “It hasn’t been done before.

“We are extremely excited about the prospect of delivering this entertainment directly from the casino floor to customers worldwide.”
