BetMGM has locked in exclusive rights to Elvis Presley-themed online slots through a deal with slot developer Octoplay, adding another recognizable name to its growing online casino portfolio. The first release is already live in several markets, including New Jersey, Michigan, and Ontario, with more to follow.
Key Takeaways
- BetMGM secured exclusive rights to Elvis Presley-branded slot games through a partnership with Octoplay.
- The first game launched in multiple markets, with a second title planned for summer 2026.
- The release forms part of BetMGM's broader strategy to expand premium branded casino content.
As part of the agreement, BetMGM will launch Elvis Presley: Viva Las Records on its platform, with a second Elvis-branded game to follow later in 2026. The game uses a standard 5×3 setup, paired with a Hold & Win bonus and five jackpot tiers. Top payouts reach 2,500x the stake.
Visually, the title leans hard into Elvis imagery, from the silhouette to era-specific looks that most players will recognize instantly. Octoplay handled development after securing rights tied to Elvis Presley's name, image, and likeness.
“Elvis Presley helped shape the entertainment industry in Las Vegas, a city whose DNA runs through everything we do at BetMGM,” said Oliver Bartlett, Senior Vice President of Gaming at BetMGM. “Bringing the King’s legacy to BetMGM through our partnership with Octoplay allows us to honor that history in a new way and capture the charisma of a larger-than-life legend. These slots are a celebration of an icon and reinforces BetMGM Casino a premier online casino and a true powerhouse of entertainment.”
BetMGM's platform now carries more than 7,000 titles across its markets. Its progressive jackpot network includes over 25 linked games. Players earn rewards points through gameplay, which can be converted into bonuses or loyalty credits tied to MGM Resorts and partner programs.

BetMGM pays out $122.1 million in jackpots in 2025
That new release follows a steady stream of jackpot payouts through 2025, with BetMGM reporting $122.1 million awarded to players. In the states where BetMGM operates, Michigan led by a wide margin, followed by a tight cluster of other states and Ontario.
Michigan accounted for $42.6 million in payouts. Pennsylvania followed with $29.7 million, and New Jersey reached $23.5 million. Ontario added CA$29.5 million, and West Virginia contributed $5 million.
Individual wins stood out, though not always for long. A Michigan player hit $897,928 on Bison Fury late in December. Days later, another player in the state pulled $612,764 from MegaJackpots Cash Eruption on a $2 spin.
Ontario delivered the headline number. One player landed CA$1.6 million on MGM Grand Millions in April, then followed it with another win worth $417,377 less than a week later.
“In 2025, BetMGM brought big names to iGaming – from the Wizard of Oz slots and Rakin’ Bacon to branded Price is Right casino games. Jackpots transformed gameplay into legendary moments for our players and continues to be one of the ways we leverage our exclusive relationship with MGM Resorts International,” said Oliver Bartlett.
