BetMGM Casino is expanding its innovative offerings in Michigan with the introduction of MGM Bonus City, a cutting-edge hybrid dealer game. This exciting addition to the Michigan online casino landscape comes through a partnership with Inspired Entertainment, following its successful October 2023 debut on BetMGM’s New Jersey casino app.
Game Features and Technology
MGM Bonus City stands out for its unique blend of gameshow elements and MGM-themed bonus rounds. Inspired Entertainment has ingeniously combined virtual CGI technology with footage of real dealers, creating an immersive experience that transports players to the iconic Las Vegas strip and other MGM properties.
Michigan players can look forward to:
- 8 potential outcomes on the spinning wheel
- 4 Las Vegas MGM property-themed bonus rounds: Luxor, Bellagio, New York-New York, and MGM Grand
- Random special multipliers on every spin, boosting potential winnings
Brooks Pierce, CEO of Inspired Entertainment, expressed enthusiasm about the Michigan launch: “MGM Bonus City offers engaging gameplay and cutting-edge technology, setting a new standard for the iGaming experience by mixing virtual environments with live dealers.”
The Rise of Hybrid Dealer Technology

- No need for a full-time studio or dealer
- Outcomes determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG)
- More cost-effective for online casinos
Players benefit from:
- 24/7 availability of gameshow content
- A blend of physical and digital elements
- Immersive gaming environments created through green screen technology
Oliver Bartlett, VP of Gaming Product and Content at BetMGM, praised the launch: “MGM Bonus City is a great addition to BetMGM Casino. Inspired has done an excellent job mixing virtual and live elements within the game.”
