BetMGM Casino introduces Buffalo Slot in Ontario

BetMGM continues to build its casino footprint in multiple markets across North America. The latest such move comes from Ontario, Canada, where the company has introduced the acclaimed Buffalo Slot to its online audiences, taking the popular brick-and-mortar game to the provincial digital landscape, Casino Guru News learned in an email press release.

The game, which was originally developed as a land-based blockbuster by Aristocrat, has been reimagined by the company’s Real Money Gaming business, Anaxi, which has created an online slot that is based on a five-by-four grid and 20 paylines, featuring the familiar design of the brick-and-mortar product and further enhancing it with modern-day slot development technology perfectly fit for the online segment.

Commenting on this new opportunity, BetMGM CRO Matt Prevost hailed the opportunity to introduce Buffalo Slot to Ontario players, hailing it as one of the best-performing games, and noting that the game has done well in other jurisdictions, and will expectedly be boosting BetMGM Ontario’s own offer and significantly adding to the brand’s library of games.

Prevost’s commendations are not idle chatter either, as there are hard facts that clearly demonstrate the significance of the game. According to Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, a consultancy, Buffalo is among the best-performing slots in the US. The company put it as the Top Performing Omnichannel Slot at the 6th Annual EKG Slots Awards this February, and it has been nominated for Top Performing New Online Slot as well.

The arrival of such a significant title to the library did not go unnoticed by BetMGM VP of Gaming Angus Nisbet who was similarly stoked to see the game arrive and be part of the library of titles that the company will offer its players from this moment on. Big games such as Buffalo are just the type of content that BetMGM is looking to provide to its players time and again, Nisbet said.

"Buffalo gained a huge following with its stunning wildlife graphics and the yell of ‘Buffalo!’ across casino floors. Anaxi did a fantastic job translating a land-based legend to iGaming," the executive noted. BetMGM already offers one of the largest selections of online casino games in the United States, with the company featuring more than 3,600 titles available across its North American markets and local operations.

Yet, the launch of flagship titles never goes unnoticed by the company as is the case with Buffalo Slot. BetMGM was also the first brand in the world to introduce the Buffalo Online Slot in New Jersey back in 2023.
