BetMGM is broadening its slots horizons by delving into the sci-fi arena with a brand-new online release in connection with Atlantic Digital, a London-based gaming developer.

Trekkies who play at BetMGM will have cause for celebration after Star Trek: The Next Generation slot has been given lift-off in Michigan. However, the plan is to roll this title out to other states soon.

Building upon an existing partnership signed last September, Atlantic Digital, which specializes in creating slots based on iconic movies and TV shows, initially offered The Godfather slot to BetMGM.

However, BetMGM is entering new territory and diversifying its range of slots by launching the highly volatile Star Trek game.

Spanning five reels and five rows, this all-ways-pay slot contains a cascade mechanic, two bonus rounds, and a whopping 3,125 ways to win.

Those familiar with Star Trek will recognize the USS Enterprise and the Star Trek characters, including Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Deanna Troi, William Riker, Deta, and Worf.

Free spins are part and parcel of the experience, and a multiplier is incorporated which increases with each match made.

Discussing the significance of the Star Trek slot, Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM’s VP of Gaming Product & Content, said: “Star Trek is one of the biggest media franchises of all time. We are honored to expand its universe to iGaming.

“Star Trek: The Next Generation is a bonus-feature filled game that players will love. It is another perfect addition to our ever-growing library of games that can’t be found anywhere else in the United States.”

Sam Hobcraft, CEO of Atlantic Digital, struck a similar tone and emphasized the importance of the slot for both parties.

He said: “We are very proud of this game and we have no doubt it will go intergalactic.

“Building on our already deep relationship with BetMGM, this is the start of many big titles to come in 2024. In the words of Picard, ‘Make it so, Number One’.”

BetMGM has been rapidly expanding its portfolio of games, and last month, it launched NFL Gold Blitz, the league’s first endorsed online slot.

As things stand, BetMGM has more than 1,500 slots stocked in its burgeoning library of titles, and its partnership with Atlantic Digital is showing tangible signs it could bear more fruit in 2024.
