8/26/2026, 11:47:47 AM
Core Launch Details
On August 24, 2026, BetMGM announced that its Alberta platform now streams live blackjack, roulette and baccarat tables directly from MGM Resorts International properties in Las Vegas. The service is delivered through a partnership with Playtech and is available on desktop, tablet and mobile devices.
Market Background
Alberta’s regulated iGaming market opened on July 13. BetMGM was among the first operators to enter the market at that time, initially offering standard online casino games. The province’s regulatory framework uniquely permits live dealer content to be sourced from offshore casino floors, unlike many jurisdictions that require local studios.
Game Line-up and Dual Play Feature
BetMGM’s live dealer catalogue includes:
- Blackjack – Vegas All Bets Blackjack Live and four Vegas Live Blackjack tables.
- Roulette – Vegas Live Roulette, MGM Grand Live American Roulette, MGM Grand Live Roulette, Bellagio Live Roulette.
- Baccarat – Vegas Live Baccarat, MGM Grand Live Baccarat, Bellagio Live Baccarat.
In addition, “Dual Play” tables let online participants share the same game in real time with players physically present at the Bellagio and MGM Grand tables, creating a hybrid online-in-person experience.
Verbatim Quotes
- “Live dealer content continues to be one of the fastest-evolving categories in iGaming,” — Rob Passerino, director of gaming at BetMGM
