Betting titans BetMGM and Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa unveil Dual Play Baccarat, bridging the gap between brick-and-mortar and online casinos.
February 18, 2025 – JERSEY CITY, NJ – BetMGM, a renowned iGaming and sports betting titan, teamed up with the iconic Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa to introduce Dual Play Baccarat. This groundbreaking gaming sensation is now accessible at BetMGM and Borgata Online Casino in the Garden State.
Dual Play Baccarat, powered by Evolution, a leading provider of Live Casino solutions, brings together gamers seated at the casino's physical Baccarat table and those enjoying the action online. It marks the debut of Dual Play Baccarat in a regulated U.S. market, making history as the first of its kind in the United States.
Boasting multiple high-definition cameras stationed around the table, Dual Play Baccarat offers online gamers an engaging, immersive experience. The game allows an unlimited number of online players to join the action in real-time, enjoying the buzz as if they were physically seated at that live table.
Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM's VP of Gaming Product & Content, said, "Dual Play Baccarat is a fantastic way to bring the thrill of live table games to our online casino patrons. It bridges the gap between digital and on-property play, offering an exciting and seamless way for players to engage with their favorite games." James Bruno, Borgata's Vice President of Casino Operations, added, "Borgata has always been at the forefront of gaming innovation, and Dual Play Baccarat is no exception. This new addition enhances our reputation as a innovator, connecting the energy of our casino floor with the convenience of online play."
Dual Play Baccarat builds on BetMGM's reputation as an omnichannel iGaming trailblazer, following the launch of Dual Play Roulette at Borgata in 2023. The latter became one of Borgata's most popular tables and continues to draw impressive numbers online.
Jacob Claesson, Evolution North America's CEO, expressed his excitement, stating, "Evolution's Dual Play Baccarat brings together land-based players and an endless number of online gamers at the same casino table. It's an innovative product that will revolutionize the way people enjoy table games, and we're thrilled to have BetMGM leading the charge."
BetMGM's online casino offers over 5,400 titles across North American markets, boasting one of the largest state-by-state exclusive progressive jackpot networks. Players can earn BetMGM Rewards Points and Tier Credits while playing at the casino, which can be redeemed for digital bonuses, MGM Rewards Points, and Marriott Bonvoy Points.
Responsible gaming remains a top priority for BetMGM. The company offers resources to help customers play responsibly, including the industry-leading GameSense program. This program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, is seamlessly integrated within BetMGM's mobile and desktop platforms, delivering the GameSense experience customers have come to expect at MGM Resorts properties nationwide.
As BetMGM expands into new markets and introduces new features, it remains committed to providing customers with a fun and safe digital gaming experience.
