“The new deal will allow us to work more closely with BetMGM going forward and will bring our hugely popular Slingo content to an even greater segment of the U.S. market. We remain focused on consolidating and expanding our reach in the U.S. and look forward to providing further updates in due course.”

Matthew Sunderland, VP of Gaming at BetMGM, commented: “BetMGM consistently brings a world-class gaming experience to our players across the U.S. We've found a great partner with Gaming Realms and our new agreement demonstrates our commitment to delivering next level gaming experiences.
