Live dealer gaming services are now available in Las Vegas thanks to MGM Resorts and Playtech.
A partnership between MGM Resorts and Playtech has resulted in the creation of a live casino offering that will be broadcast directly from the MGM Grand and Bellagio locations located in Las Vegas.

According to Playtech, operators in regulated markets outside of the United States will have access to the MGM Live games. These games include baccarat, roulette with single and double zeros, and roulette with a single zero.
Shimon Akad, the Chief Operating Officer of Playtech, stated in an interview with iGaming Business that Mexico and the United Kingdom will be the primary target markets for MGM Live. Following that, rollouts will take place in additional regulated marketplaces.
The explanation that Akad provided was as follows: "We will review the feasibility of offering this in the United States over time and in accordance with igaming regulation."
"Throughout the history of our industry, the Las Vegas experience has consistently been the most distinctive gaming experience. The actual sounds and pictures of Las Vegas will be experienced by [customers in regulated markets], and in the future, they will also have the opportunity to participate in immersive entertainment experiences," Akad remarked.
There will be "unparalleled experiences" provided by the live dealer product.
According to Bill Hornbuckle, chief executive officer of MGM Resorts, the content, celebrity talent, and sophisticated gaming experience will be unparalleled in the industry.

Mor Weizer, the CEO of Playtech, expressed his excitement about the partnership with MGM Resorts, which he described as "a world-renowned gaming and entertainment brand."
According to what he said, "This collaboration strengthens our commitment to providing experiences that are unparalleled and expands our global reach to our customers."

According to Playtech's Chief Operating Officer Shimon Akad, MGM Live will expand with gameshows and other one-of-a-kind immersive goods.
Noting that this was currently in the process of being developed, Akad stated, "If you think of the Vegas attraction and picture one of the world's most popular game shows, infused with the allure and the charisma of celebrity hosts, that is what we are creating for the players."
Playtech's Chief Operating Officer expressed his gratitude for the pleasure of being chosen as MGM Resort's technology partner.
"[We] share a common vision to develop and deliver innovative and state-of-the-art entertainment products and experiences in the digital and igaming spaces," he continued. "[We] are extremely excited about this opportunity."
The MGM Resorts company has achieved its lofty omnichannel goals.
The Chief Executive Officer of MGM, Bill Hornbuckle, stated to iGB in December 2023 that the operator was going to work towards developing a comprehensive omnichannel ecosystem in Europe and other regions.
After the acquisition of LeoVegas for $604 million, this occurred. The company started BetMGM in the United Kingdom as a result of that transaction, with the intention of expanding its presence in regions where it does not yet have a land-based presence.

Bill Hornbuckle, the CEO of MGM Resorts, believes that the company's diversification into digital means that it can engage clients all around the world.
Through BetMGM, both domestically and ultimately through what we do with LeoVegas – whether that be in Europe, Canada, or South America – we aim to achieve our goal of diversifying into the digital space. According to what Hornbuckle said at the time, "We believe it is a meaningful way to continue to reach customers throughout the entire year by doing so."
He gave hints about intentions to combine the chances for gaming that are available online and in physical locations. These intentions are aided by the acquisition of the games studio Push Gaming, which occurred after the takeover of LeoVegas.
"The concept that we could create our own games is really important, not only to feed our digital assets, but also to feed our brick-and-mortar assets, and then ultimately to be able to tie them all together," Hornbuckle said.
