BetMGM debuts Evolution’s Lightning Storm in Ontario
New title exclusively available in province via BetMGM Casino
BetMGM has launched Evolution Gaming’s Lightning Storm in the Ontario market.
The new title, billed as Evolution’s biggest Lightning game yet, will be available exclusively through the BetMGM Casino platform across the province.
The live game show is set in a laboratory-style studio and features a 39-segment money wheel that spins once a player places their bet.
“Live dealer is a key focus of our iGaming business at BetMGM,” said BetMGM Vice President of Gaming Product & Content, Oliver Bartlett. “Lightning Storm brings together the social aspect of live dealer, the excitement of a game show and the popularity of Lightning games to create a fantastic experience for our players.
“Evolution’s reputation in the live dealer vertical is unmatched and we are honoured to exclusively debut their biggest game yet.”
BetMGM and Evolution have an extensive relationship that spreads across North America. The two companies work together in numerous U.S. states as well as Ontario.
Both companies have expanded their operations in Ontario in recent months.
Back in March, BetMGM added Aristocrat-developed land-based casino brand Buffalo to its online slate in the province. Buffalo was a slot at brick-and-mortar casinos before being reimagined by Anaxi, Aristocrat’s online Real Money Gaming business, as an online slot.
Meanwhile, Evolution subsidiary Ezugi launched its live casino offering in Ontario last month, taking a slate of content including casino table games, live game shows and a wide range of regional titles live with Toronto-headquartered brands theScore Bet and BET99 throughout the province.
Evolution has taken further steps to expand its North American operations in recent months, notably acquiring Livespins for around $7.3 million CAD.
