BetMGM is a big name in online gaming and sports betting. You might say the company is a "survivor."
It’s the reality show of the same name that inspired BetMGM to partner with Jogo Global and Banijay Rights to bring an exciting twist for fans of the legendary reality show, Survivor.
This collaboration gives BetMGM exclusive rights to create and market Survivor-themed online casino games. The timing couldn't be better as the debut of these games coincides with Survivor's 50th season on CBS, which premiered on February 25.
The announcement comes just weeks after the company unveiled its new Richard Childress racing game.
What is Survivor?
Survivor is a popular reality television show that first premiered in the United States on CBS in 2000. Contestants are stranded in a remote location and divided into tribes. They must compete in various challenges to earn rewards and immunity from elimination.
The central concept of the show revolves around contestants needing to "outwit, outplay, and outlast" each other. At certain intervals, the contestants participate in "Tribal Councils," where they vote to eliminate one of their own, and this continues until a final survivor is crowned the winner and awarded a large cash prize, traditionally one million dollars.
BetMGM Adds Survivor-Themed Casino Games
With the introduction of these Survivor-themed casino games, BetMGM is set to create a thrilling experience for its users.
Working closely with Jogo Global, one of the industry's top suppliers, BetMGM plans to launch a minimum of 10 new games. Some of the first games in this rollout include "Survivor Triple Challenge" and "Survivor – Outwit – Outplay – Outlast." These games capture the excitement and competitive spirit that has made Survivor a household name worldwide.
"Survivor is one of the most successful reality franchises in television history," says Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM. "By bringing exclusive Survivor content to our players, we continue to build a legendary powerhouse of entertainment. The show's instantly recognizable brand and competitive spirit make Survivor a key component in our growing portfolio of exclusive content."
Survivor 50 Provided Great Opportunity
The trailblazing entertainment format created by Charlie Parsons has captivated audiences around the globe.
With 50 different versions and more than 400 seasons aired worldwide, it remains one of the most-watched reality shows ever. For Mark Woollard, SVP of Gaming and Gambling at Banijay Rights, the partnership with BetMGM is a fantastic opportunity. "With Survivor's 50th season this year, we look forward to seeing fans engage with Survivor casino content in North America."
Jogo Global CEO David Marcus shares everyone's excitement: "As Survivor celebrates its landmark 50th season, partnering with BetMGM is a golden opportunity. We’re excited to bring the excitement, strategy, and competitive spirit of Survivor into real-money gameplay in a way that stays true to the brand and captivates U.S. players."
