The “MGM Live” option will only be playable outside the US in regulated online casino markets. The initial focus will be baccarat, single-ball roulette, and double-ball roulette from tables at the Bellagio Resort & Casino and the MGM Grand. The plan is to eventually increase the variety of games available to players.

In Thursday’s announcement, MGM Resorts President and CEO Bill Hornbuckle said that the partnership increases the company’s “commitment to providing unparalleled experiences and expands our global reach to our customers.”

Playtech CEO Mor Weizer echoed these sentiments and is excited to launch a “new live entertainment category” and to continue enhancing the customer experience at every turn. He also underlined both parties’ commitment to player protection and responsible gambling.
