Gaming Realms launches in Michigan with BetMGM

Mobile gambling content developer Gaming Realms announced on Tuesday that, having received its provisional supplier licence earlier in the year, it has now launched its ‘Slingo Originals’ content in the US state of Michigan with BetMGM.

The AIM-traded firm described BetMGM as a “leading sports-betting and online gaming operator” in the United States, and as of May, was the market leader of the online gambling market in Michigan.

Under the terms of the direct integration agreement between BetMGM and Gaming Realms, BetMGM launched with an initial three Slingo games, with more games scheduled to follow in the short term.

The firm had also signed agreements for Michigan with a number of other operators in the market, with its full portfolio of Slingo Originals games set to go live in the state over the coming weeks.

“We are delighted to be launching our Slingo games in Michigan, our second US state, as we continue to increase our presence in the U.S. and capitalise on the expanding US iGaming market,” said executive chairman Michael Buckley.

“BetMGM is a leading operator which has been successfully distributing our Slingo portfolio to the New Jersey iGaming market for some time.

“With further agreements signed with some of the largest operators in the US, our full suite of Slingo games will be released to the Michigan iGaming market soon, and we look forward to providing further updates in due course.”
