IGT, MGM Resorts win Nevada approval for PlaySpot

International Game Technology (IGT) and MGM Resorts International have been granted full approval in Nevada for the PlaySpot mobile solution.

PlaySpot features on the playMGM mobile sports betting mobile application and allows MGM Resort’s M life Rewards members to place sports wagers via their mobile anywhere in the US state.

Players can sign up for an account, as well as deposit and withdraw cash, at any of the 10 MGM Resorts Race & Sports Books on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada.

Lovell Walker, executive director of interactive gaming development at MGM Resorts, said: “We worked closely with IGT throughout the development process to appropriately leverage PlaySpot technology, ensuring that the app delivers an unrivalled guest experience.

“M life Rewards members can enjoy sports wagering opportunities in Nevada from the pool, their hotel rooms or if they are a Nevada resident, from the comfort of their home.”

The Nevada approval comes after MGM Resorts last week agreed a deal with GVC Holdings to roll out online casino and poker games via the playMGM brand in New Jersey.

Matteo Monteverdi, senior vice-president global product marketing, interactive, at IGT, added: “PlaySpot brings sports betting forward into the mobile era, delivers unparalleled player experiences and helps MGM Resorts connect with players on an entertainment platform that they use every day.”
