BetMGM’s partnership with Inspired Entertainment brings forth MGM Bonus City, the pioneering Hybrid Dealer game, marking a significant leap in online casino gaming, debuting in New Jersey and set to expand across Pennsylvania and Michigan.
A brand-new class of online casino game known as a “Hybrid Dealer” game, MGM Bonus City, was introduced by BetMGM and Inspired Entertainment. It is currently the only hybrid dealer offering in North America, but it will soon be available in Pennsylvania and Michigan as well as New Jersey.
Games with a hybrid dealer combine aspects of online casino games with live dealers. There is an actual person on the screen, just like in live dealer games. The human is pre-recorded rather than dealing with the games live, which is the difference. And all of the results are RNG-based, just like in traditional iGaming.
To create the most realistic online casino experience, BetMGM describes the Hybrid Dealer technology as one that “seamlessly integrates Virtual CGI, green screen technology, and footage of real dealers.” Regular rotation of dealers and hosts prevents it from growing stale.
In essence, it’s an attempt to save costs without sacrificing the appeal of well-liked live dealer games. The operator can deliver an experience that sufficiently resembles a live dealer game to satisfy customers without having to oversee and pay for staff and studios around the clock.
The BetMGM sportsbook app, desktop, and Android platforms are the current ways to access MGM Bonus City; an iOS version is scheduled to launch in a few weeks.
