BetMGM and Wayne Gretzky Team Up for Exclusive Slot Game
BetMGM continues to innovate in the online gaming space with the launch of Gretzky Light the Lamp, an exclusive slot game now available in New Jersey and Michigan. Featuring NHL legend Wayne Gretzky, this game is a testament to BetMGM’s commitment to delivering unique and engaging gaming content.
A Hockey-Themed Slot Like No Other
Developed by Spinberry, Gretzky Light the Lamp is a five-reel, 25-line slot that brings the thrill of hockey to the casino world. With features like free spins, wild re-spins, and Spectacular Link mechanics, players can experience the excitement of lighting the lamp alongside The Great One himself.
Expanding Brand Partnerships
Gretzky, who has been a BetMGM ambassador since 2021, is also starring in the company’s latest advertising campaign, Vegas Magic, which showcases BetMGM’s innovative approach to live dealer gaming. This partnership strengthens the connection between sports and online gaming, further enhancing the brand’s visibility.
The Future of Branded Casino Content
As BetMGM continues its expansion, the introduction of exclusive branded slot games sets a new benchmark in the industry. With more markets set to follow pending regulatory approval, Gretzky Light the Lamp could become a flagship title in BetMGM’s growing portfolio.
Personal Insights
BetMGM’s decision to launch a Gretzky-themed slot game is a brilliant fusion of sports and gaming, attracting both hockey fans and slot enthusiasts. Leveraging well-known sports figures in iGaming is an effective way to create unique engagement, and it will be interesting to see if other operators follow suit with similar brand partnerships.
Licensed celebrity content works—if you own the exclusive rights and the ambassador stays committed long-term.
We're watching operators weaponize sports partnerships at the game level, not just ads. BetMGM's had Gretzky since 2021; this slot is the payoff. The question for my partners: can you secure similar exclusive content deals in your markets, and do you have the regulatory runway to launch them fast?
- Gretzky-branded slot live in NJ and Michigan; Spinberry-developed with free spins, wilds, and Spectacular Link mechanics
- Gretzky ambassador deal runs since 2021; now featuring in Vegas Magic ad campaign—integrated partnership, not one-off
- Exclusive content sets competitive moat; expansion to more markets pending regulatory approval
