(Lisbon, SoloAzar Exclusive).- For the first time in history, Playtech and BetMGM will unveil an unparalleled opportunity to experience the magic of Las Vegas from anywhere in the world. Shimon Akad (Playtech) and Christian Stuart (on behalf of MGM) made a joint announcement today at SBC Summit Lisbon. Read more details in the article below!

Shimon Akad and Christian Stuart took us through the journey that has brought this vision to life. They highlighted how the iconic Las Vegas experience has evolved and become accessible to a global audience, reaching new markets and new audiences, with some exciting news to share.

Christian Stuart, SVP, Head of Interactive, NA: “I’m very excited with the partnership with Playtech. I’m here to represent MGM. It is a large industry. After much searching around, we landed on Las Vegas, that’s our distinctive feature. MGM has a major footprint in Las Vegas and its culture, with billions of dollars in assets. But those assets have only been enjoyed in person, so people have to travel to Las Vegas to see them and experience them. Now what we are doing with the partnership with Playtech is actually bringing that experience online to the global regulated marketplace. So people can now live and experience the excitement and energy of gambling in Las Vegas online. Now we have cameras on the tables at the Bellagio and we are streaming that to new markets so it allows customers to play online.”

Shimon Akad, COO Playtech: “This is a super exciting initiative and it is something that has never been done before. We are very proud that iconic MGM has chosen to partner Playtech to be their trusted technology supplier. Las Vegas is the undisputed, unchallenged capital of the gambling world. We are working together to bring that Las Vegas unique land-based experience to online players.”
They both showed their enthusiasm and remarked that this new experience is the beginning of a relationship that will surely grow in the future.
