BetMGM has recently partnered with Push Gaming, launching some of the provider’s top slots on the platform. Initially, the games will be available for players in Ontario, with popular titles like Big Bamboo and Wild Swarm 2. This is also essential for Push Gaming, as it’s the gateway towards the US market. Read on to learn more about both companies and their future plans.

BetMGM’s Continued Success

BetMGM continues its expansion following the strategic roadmap laid out for 2024. While most of the year had them focusing on their sportsbook, the latter part included marketing for their online casino. Aside from the partnership with Push Gaming, the company also has exclusive games from providers like White Hat Gaming and GameCode.

Push Gaming’s exciting slots resonate with players and elevate the iGaming experience. We are proud to partner with Push Gaming and add their popular slots to our online casinos in Ontario which offers players a vast variety of over 3,000 titles.

BetMGM won Online Casino of the Year in October 2024 at the American Gambling Awards. It continues to invest in its products, such as its jackpot games, and establishing more partnerships like the Mariott Bonvoy rewards program. Overall, their iGaming products are stable, with a 22% market share.

BetMGM and Push Gaming’s Partnership

BetMGM’s partnership with Push Gaming means several of their most popular titles will be available in the Ontario versions of their online casinos, including Wheel of Fortune Casino. That includes popular titles like Retro Tapes, which won Gambling News’ Most Watched and Most Streamed Slot Award in 2023. Here are a few of the other available titles:

  • Big Bamboo
  • Razor Returns
  • Wild Swarm 2

If the companies receive regulatory approval, BetMGM will become Push Gaming’s exclusive partner in the US. While BetMGM will provide exclusive titles to all versions of its online casinos, Push Gaming will be able to reach other markets in the US, which is one of its current goals. We hope this means even more of Push Gaming’s titles become available.

Push Gaming’s Expansion

This partnership is even more critical to Push Gaming, as it’s their entry into the US market. The company’s Chief Business Development Officer, Fiona Hickey, describes it as a milestone for the developer and is hopeful for the partnership’s future. She even hopes this will give the developer a significant foothold in the market.

Having some of our biggest games available to BetMGM players, one of the industry’s largest names, is a milestone in our evolution as a developer and we’re incredibly excited at the potential of our partnership.

Push Gaming emphasizes mobile compatibility, ensuring their slots can be played from any device. Aside from the US, the company has expanded to the Spanish, Mexican, and Georgian markets, providing high-quality titles to various international markets. While it’s uncertain which states will be next, there are plans for further expansion.

Conclusion

Both companies have big plans for the US market and will significantly benefit from this partnership. BetMGM continues to strengthen its products and will get some quality exclusive titles. Meanwhile, Push Gaming can access the US market through a quality online platform.

While this collaboration is limited to Ontario for now, we hope more US states will be able to play Push Gaming’s slots. Meanwhile, BetMGM will continue to improve its products, focusing on new features and better responsible gambling measures like the GameSense program.
