BetMGM, a leading name in sports betting and online gaming, has teamed up with Richard Childress Racing (RCR) to launch BetMGM Speedway. It's a new digital venture that aims to bridge the worlds of sports betting and high-speed stock car racing.
It is now available for players at the BetMGM Casino in Michigan, as well as BetMGM Casino and Borgata Online in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
It's one of the biggest announcements since the unveiling of new slot machines at Borgata and BetMGM.
Features of BetMGM Speedway
BetMGM Speedway introduces players to an adrenaline-pumping game that mirrors the excitement of a real racetrack.
Players have the chance to support Richard Childress Racing’s legendary car numbers: the No. 8 car driven by Kyle Busch and the No. 3 car handled by Austin Dillon. The fast-paced game has a Return to Player (RTP) of 94% and high volatility, resulting in large swings in potential wins and losses.
Adventurous gamers can wager up to two bets simultaneously, customizing their play with features like auto-play and auto-cashout, and aim for a maximum payout that equals 10,000 times the total bet.
Reaction From Boths Sides is Positive
In a statement released to Action Network, Matt Prevost, Chief Revenue Officer at BetMGM, did not hold back his enthusiasm for the collaboration. "Partnering with RCR for BetMGM Speedway allows us to capture the elements of racing, such as acceleration and split-second decision-making, in a casino game," Prevost stated. "BetMGM Speedway is another way to get racing season off to a flying start."
From Richard Childress Racing's perspective, this collaboration embodies a melding of expertise.
Mike Verlander, President of Richard Childress Racing, highlighted the synergy between the two entities. "BetMGM Speedway is a strong example of the collaborative nature between RCR and BetMGM. BetMGM is at the forefront of the sports betting and online gaming industry, and RCR is proud to help BetMGM capture the thrill of racing leading into one of our sport’s biggest races."
A Unique Collaboration in Sports and Gaming
Through this partnership, Richard Childress Racing has worked closely with BetMGM to incorporate authentic team elements into the game, ensuring fans recognize the visual identity of each car and its number.
While actual drivers are not featured in the game, their symbolic representation offers fans a familiar connection and elevates the gaming experience.
By merging the thrill of car racing with interactive gaming, BetMGM Speedway offers players a fresh and exciting way to engage with both sports betting and iGaming, marking a new chapter in the entertainment landscape.
