BetMGM Makes History as First Online Casino to Introduce Buffalo Slot by Aristocrat

This week, one of the most renowned iGaming and sports betting operators, BetMGM, has made a groundbreaking move that’s set to redefine the online gaming sector.

The best online sportsbook in the U.S. unveiled the beloved Buffalo slot on its online platform, marking a historic achievement as it officially became the world’s first online casino to offer Aristocrat’s iconic slot title to its players.

A Long-Expected Debut

Buffalo, a perennial favorite at land-based casinos for over a decade, has now made its digital debut exclusively on BetMGM’s online casino platform. This means that players in New Jersey are the first to experience the excitement of this classic high-limit slot game, at least until it has reached Pennsylvania and Michigan in the near future.

Developed by Aristocrat and adapted for online play by Anaxi, the provider’s online real money gaming business, Buffalo is a 20-line, 5×4 slot game that has captured the hearts of casino-goers worldwide.

The objective is simple yet exhilarating – players aim to fill the screen with Buffalo symbols for big wins.

“BetMGM is honored to be the first online destination for Buffalo,” stated Matt Prevost, chief revenue officer at BetMGM.

According to the CRO, the company is ready to bring the thrill and excitement of Buffalo to players in New Jersey and additional states this fall.

This historic launch follows Anaxi’s strategic partnership with BetMGM in February 2023. Buffalo is just the beginning of the world-class gaming content that the software studio will make available at MGM’s online sportsbook.

Cath Burns, chief operating officer of Anaxi, also expressed her excitement, saying that the stampede has officially begun, giving thrilled BetMGM players a chance to finally enjoy the iconic Buffalo game in a new format.

On a related note, BetMGM’s online casino boasts an impressive array of over 1,500 games and features one of the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot networks. During the first half of 2023, the company awarded nearly $75 million in jackpots, well on its way to suring the remarkable $100 million jackpot milestone set in 2022.

Buffalo is Just the Beginning

As BetMGM continues to expand into new jurisdictions, responsible gaming education remains a top priority. The operator is committed to providing resources to help customers play responsibly, including an industry-leading program GameSense, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation.

Through the GameSense integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can now easily access responsible gaming tools, ensuring a safe and enjoyable gaming experience for all.
