BetMGM Casino in Ontario launches online Buffalo Slot
BetMGM has announced that land-based casino favorite Buffalo is now available at its online casino in Ontario. Buffalo joins BetMGM's portfolio ofover 2,500 titles in Ontario, which includes 250 in-house produced games by Entain.
“BetMGM is proud to bring Buffalo to our Ontario players,” said BetMGM’s Chief Revenue Officer Matt Prevost. “It’s already a strong performer in the statesand will be a big headliner at BetMGM Ontario, adding to a stellar collection of games.”
For over a decade at brick-and-mortar casinos, the Buffalo slot machine by Aristocrat has enjoyed great popularity. Now Anaxi, Aristocrat’s online Real Money Gaming business, has reimagined the title for online play. The game is a 20-line 5x4 slot where players aim to win by filling the screen with Buffalo symbols.
The newly launched slot has recently received an award from Eilers & Krejcik Gaming. The research and consulting firm named Buffalo the Top Performing Omnichannel Slot at the Annual EKG Slot Awards in February. Buffalo also earned a nomination for Top Performing New Online Slot.
“Buffalo gained a huge following with its stunning wildlife graphics and the yell of ‘Buffalo!’ across casino floors. Anaxi did a fantastic job translating a land-based legend to iGaming,” said BetMGM’s Vice President of Gaming Angus Nisbet. "BetMGM loves bringing big games like Buffalo to our players.”
In February 2023, Anaxi announced a strategic partnership to make its gaming content available at BetMGM. In September 2023, BetMGM became the first online casino in the world to offer the Buffalo slot, launching first in Pennsylvania and later in Michigan. Since Buffalo’s debut, it’s been a Top Ten grossing slot at BetMGM, says the operator.
BetMGM’s online casino is home to over 3,600 titles across North American markets and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot networks. In 2023, BetMGM was named Casino Operator of the Year by SBC North America, EGR North America, Global Gaming Awards, and American Gambling Awards.
