BetMGM announced the launch of Lightning Storm, the newest title from Evolution and its Lightning family of games. The game show is now live exclusively at BetMGM Casino in Ontario.
“Live dealer is a key focus of our iGaming business at BetMGM. 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,” BetMGM VP of Gaming Product and Content Oliver Bartlett said.
“Evolution’s reputation in the live dealer vertical is unmatched and we are honored to exclusively debut their biggest game yet.”
Set in a dark, mad scientist laboratory-style studio, the live game show features a money wheel with DigiWheel patented technology. The action starts when a player places their bet, and the game host spins the 39-segment DigiWheel.
BetMGM Casino platforms are home to over 2,800 titles across North American markets. As BetMGM continues to expand into new jurisdictions, the company stated that responsible gaming education remains a key focus. Through the GameSense integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can directly access responsible gaming tools.
The operator recently underwent a slightly delayed launch of its online sportsbook offering in Washington DC. It was able to go live in the District after suspending online operations on July 16 due to the city’s budget for the fiscal year 2025 not being signed.
The Office of Lottery and Gaming in DC gave approval for the budget on July 17, paving the way for BetMGM and other online sportsbooks to successfully launch full online operations.
