The new games include roulette, baccarat, blackjack and Dream Catcher, a live money wheel game, which are all available to play in BetMGM’s New Jersey, Ontario, Pennsylvania and Michigan locations.

Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM's Director of Gaming, commented on the new games, saying: "The launch of these one-of-a-kind games further strengthens our relationship with the NHL. As the season approaches, we're thrilled that our players will have the ability to 'drop the puck' with BetMGM."

Meanwhile, Jason Jazayeri, NHL VP of Business Development, added: "We're excited to broaden our relationship with BetMGM through the development of NHL-branded casino games, particularly when these new platforms allow us to deepen the connection NHL fans have to our sport in a more immersive and compelling way.

“We look forward to collaborating with BetMGM on other fan-centric efforts in years to come." 

Each of the branded games features NHL-related themes, with blackjack seeing players seated inside an arena skybox and able to move between the virtual seats, and the NHL logo featured throughout.

The partnership between BetMGM and the NHL goes back to 2018, when MGM Resorts International and BetMGM signed a sponsorship deal with the NHL – a deal that was extended earlier this year.

Adam Greenblatt, CEO of BetMGM, commented on the extension at the time: “This collaboration allows BetMGM to deliver the best-in-class hockey product, including a wide variety of NHL wagering options. We will continue to work with the League to reach new fans as we expand into new markets.”
