1X2 Network boosts US roll-out with BetMGM deal
In-demand game developer adds tier-one operator to its growing roster of partners in North America
1X2 Network, the award-winning content provider, continues to take the North American market by storm following a major deal with BetMGM, a leading sports betting and iGaming operator.
The direct integration with BetMGM means the operator’s players now have access to a huge selection of slot and crash titles from across the 1X2 Network game studio portfolio. This includes player favourite titles including Wolf Strike, Eagle Strike and 1 Million Megaways BC from Iron Dog Studio, Reel Diamonds from 1X2gaming, and the Prospector Wilds series from Prospect Gaming.
These slots combine great themes, striking design, booming sound and compelling gameplay that promises to put players on the edge of their seats with each spin.
But that’s just the start. BetMGM players can also strap into the cutting-edge crash game Crashout Maverick. This flagship game from 1X2 Network’s arcade division AD LUNAM, has hit the mark with players around the world, delivering action-packed gameplay, and near instantaneous response times.
The 1X2 portfolio of games is available at BetMGM in Michigan initially, following closely by Ontario, with further markets available across North America (pending regulatory approval) in the coming year.
Kevin Reid, Chief Executive Officer at 1X2 Network, said: “We have ambitious plans for the North American market and what better way to build further momentum here than by partnering with one of the most prestigious operators, BetMGM.
“Our games are proving to be hugely popular with players in the US thanks to the great themes, bold design and gripping gameplay built into each title. This includes Crashout Maverick, which has quickly become one of the top crash games in the market.
“This is a significant deal for 1X2 Network and really does mark our arrival as a leading content provider in the fast-growing market.”
Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content, BetMGM. “The partnership with 1X2 Network is a testament to our commitment to offer the broadest and best content to our players. We look forward to seeing them fire up the reels on big action slots such as Wolf Strike and enjoying the thrills and spills of Crashout Maverick”.

Boldplay™ to make U.S. debut after signing exclusive partnership deal with BetMGM
Boldplay, the casino software supplier, has announced its much-anticipated U.S. debut after teaming up with BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, and providing its first set of games Cyborg City, Toro Bravo, and Gold Metal Ox.
The new partnership will see Boldplay’s extensive collection of innovative video slots, table games, virtual scratch and keno titles become available to customers in the U.S. market for the very first time, enabling countless players to experience the brand’s signature range of bonus features and jackpots.
Notable highlights to come out of the studio include Boldplay Spins – a unique twist on Free Spins that sees the reels spin both vertically and horizontally to create more winning pay lines – and the brand’s flagship jackpot, the Boldplay Superpot, which gives players of all bankroll levels a chance to win big.
The exclusive nature of the deal will also see BetMGM gain a significant market advantage in the U.S., where it will initially be the only platform able to offer Boldplay games. Given these titles have already garnered plenty of critical acclaim from players and operators across Europe, their presence at BetMGM will be a huge draw and will help the platform further enhance its standing in the industry.
This latest collaboration represents another significant step in Boldplay’s evolution from up-and-coming studio to one of the industry’s most sought-after software providers and will allow the brand to extend its reach into new regulated markets – a move CEO, Valli Fragoso, is clearly optimistic about.
“Boldplay is thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with BetMGM in an exclusive partnership that will see our games be made available in the U.S. for the very first time,” she said. “By joining forces with such a prestigious operator, we’ll be able to raise the profile of our brand in the country as we continue to expand and we’re looking forward to what should be a hugely successful collaboration.”
