MGM Springfield becomes the 17th MGM Resorts International property to be featured in the playAWARDS catalog, allowing players to redeem loyalty points earned playing any of PLAYSTUDIOS' free-to-play social casino-type games for complimentary and discounted rewards from the resort's food and beverage portfolio. The Massachusetts-based MGM Springfield boasts a lineup of eateries that includes The Chandler Steakhouse, Italian favorite Costa, TAP Sports Bar, and South End Market.

"This is an important extension of a partnership that has been very successful for both PLAYSTUDIOS and MGM Resorts International," says PLAYSTUDIOS Founder, Chair, and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Pascal. "Our companies recently celebrated our eighth anniversary as partners. We are proud to say that the relationship is stronger than ever.

"With MGM Springfield now represented in our rewards catalog, the global family of PLAYSTUDIOS players will be able to enjoy the sights, sounds, and experiences offered at this one-of-a-kind resort."

Chris Kelley, President & COO of MGM Springfield, says, "We're excited to see our partnership with PLAYSTUDIOS continue to evolve as our company rolls out new resorts and amenities. Adding MGM Springfield to the playAWARDS program gives their players an opportunity to experience the excitement of MGM Resorts on the East Coast."

MGM Springfield offerings became available to players on January 8. Redemptions are temporarily limited to eateries operating under state-mandated pandemic guidelines, with additional rewards from the hotel, casino, and other amenities to be added to in the coming weeks and months. 

PLAYSTUDIOS and MGM Resorts International first partnered in August 2012. Today, players can access rewards from additional MGM properties, including Bellagio, ARIA, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, Vdara, The Mirage, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur, MGM National Harbor, Borgata, Beau Rivage, Gold Strike, and MGM Cotai.

PLAYSTUDIOS games allow players to earn rewards just for playing myVEGAS Slots, myKONAMI Slots, myVEGAS Blackjack, and POP! Slots apps, which are available to download and play free on iOS, Android, and Kindle devices.
