Awager Partners with BetMGM to Deliver Live-Streamed Physical Slot Machines to New Jersey Online Players
TL;DR — Awager and BetMGM partnered to stream real land-based slot machines from regulated studios to New Jersey online players. The service offers 50 cabinets and over 30 titles including Buffalo Ascension via 4K live video with authentic audio and low latency. Operations remain limited to regulated markets with strict compliance standards.
SCCG Take — This tie-up supplies operators a compliant bridge between physical cabinets and digital channels. It merits close tracking for adoption metrics and potential extension to additional regulated jurisdictions.
Awager, an Aristocrat company, has partnered with BetMGM to make live-streamed access to actual land-based slot machines available to BetMGM and Borgata Online players in New Jersey. The arrangement uses Awager’s remote gaming technology to connect players with physical cabinets in regulated studios, replicating casino-floor play through digital means.
Partnership Details
At launch, the service provides access to 50 cabinets featuring more than 30 unique game titles. These include Aristocrat Gaming slots such as Buffalo Ascension and Lightning Link. Streams operate with live 4K video, authentic machine audio, and low-latency controls so each spin matches the real mechanical outcome.
Awager’s platform rests on more than a decade of hardware, software, and streaming development. The company runs multiple studios in North America and Europe and limits all operations to regulated jurisdictions. It maintains standards for compliance, responsible gaming, operational integrity, and player protection.
