The betting statistics back it up: Casino games are dominating the scene in Ontario’s regulated online gaming market.
With the news today it has launched a partnership with Push Gaming, a B2B online-gaming-industry supplier, BetMGM recognizes igaming’s dominance.
The first phase of the new partnership between the two companies brings a selection of Push Gaming’s slot titles to the BetMGM platform in Ontario. In 2025 pending regulatory approval, BetMGM will be the exclusive partner for Push Gaming in the U.S.
“Push Gaming’s slots resonate with players and elevate the igaming experience,” said Oliver Bartlett, VP of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM. “Push Gaming offers players a vast variety of over 3,000 titles.”
Ontario’s FY 2024-25 Q1 (April 1 to June 30) market performance report, released by iGaming Ontario, showed total wagers of $18.4 billion in Q1 (does not include promotional wagers, or bonuses), a 3.4 percent increase over the last quarter and a 31 percent increase over Q1 of 2023-24.
Total gaming revenue in Q1 was $726 million, a 5.2 percent increase over Q4 and a 34 percent year-over-year increase. Casino games, including slots, live and computer-based table games, and peer-to-peer bingo, was 84 percent of total wagers ($15.5 billion) and 73 percent ($529 million) of gaming revenue.
“Having some of our biggest games available to BetMGM players, one of the industry’s largest names, is a milestone in our evolution as a developer,” said Fiona Hickey, Chief Business Development Officer at Push Gaming.
Some of Push Gaming’s more popular slots include Retro Tapes, Big Bamboo, Razor Returns, and Wild Swarm 2 and are now available at BetMGM Casino and Wheel of Fortune Casino in Ontario. Retro Tapes won Gambling News’s Most Watched and Most Streamed Slot Award in 2023.
