BetMGM, in partnership with Inspired Entertainment, has launched MGM Bonus City, a Hybrid Dealer game, in Michigan.
The game, which combines live dealer elements with virtual environments, was first introduced in New Jersey in October 2023 and is exclusively available at BetMGM Casino.
MGM Bonus City uses virtual CGI, green screen technology and footage of real dealers to provide players with a game-show-like experience.
Players can choose from eight potential outcomes on a large wheel, featuring four MGM-themed bonus rounds inspired by Las Vegas properties such as New York-New York, Luxor, MGM Grand and Bellagio.
The game also features a random multiplier that can increase player winnings.
BetMGM, a joint venture between Entain and MGM, operates a large casino platform in North America with over 2,800 titles. The company also manages a jackpot network, with a current progressive jackpot pool in New Jersey exceeding $5.2m.
