GVC
currently provides software and support services for the MGM Resorts-owned
Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in New Jersey and has powered Borgata's online casino
and poker products since online gaming was regulated in the state in November
2013.
Today's announcement marks a strengthening of the relationship between the
companies and the first time that real-money online casino and poker will be
offered under MGM's iconic brand.
Launching
later this year, playMGM casino and poker will sit on the latest version of
GVC's proprietary technology stack, which offers desktop and mobile variants,
over 300 casino games (including progressive jackpot slots) and multiple
variants of tournament and cash play poker.
In
addition to its unique in-house developed content, GVC also integrates the best
games from third-party suppliers. Earlier this year, games from NYX Gaming were
incorporated into the Group's New Jersey platform, and further content from
leading developers will be added throughout the year.
"We
are delighted to extend our relationship with MGM Resorts and to be launching
casino and poker under the playMGM brand in New Jersey," said GVC's Chief
Operating Officer, Shay Segev. "MGM Resorts is quite simply one of the
biggest and best names in the business, and we look forward to working with
them for many years to come."
"This is a historic moment for MGM Resorts to be launching real money online casino and poker under the MGM brand for the first time," said Corey Sanders, Chief Operating Officer of MGM Resorts. "GVC has been a first-rate partner for us, and we are excited about the possibilities of extending that partnership as regulated markets open up in the U.S."
