BetMGM Wednesday announced an exclusive partnership with London, England-based Atlantic Digital for proprietary games. Among the featured games from Atlantic Digital’s portfolio will be The Godfather slot game, which will debut exclusively on BetMGM Casino in Michigan. Additional titles in various jurisdictions are scheduled to be introduced at later dates.

“The Godfather remains one of the most iconic movies and it is quite fitting that it is the first slot we are offering with Atlantic Digital,” said BetMGM Director of Gaming Oliver Bartlett in a statement.  “BetMGM is proud to be the first to bring The Godfather to the U.S. and its exclusive online casino home. We are always looking to partner with brands our customers love and game studios that are creating new and engaging content.”

The Godfather slot game features elements from the classic 1972 movie of the same name that starred Marlon Brando, James Caan, Al Pacino, and Diane Keaton. In the slot game, Don Corleone demands respect, asks for loyalty, and immerses players in the mafia genre. The 5×3, 10-line game features free spins and a hold-and-win bonus round where players may win additional free spins and cash prizes.

“We are incredibly proud to partner with BetMGM and bring our popular branded games to the U.S market,” said Atlantic Digital CEO Sam Hobcraft. The Godfather is just the start. Branded content has always been at the core of the land-based player experience. We at Atlantic Digital are at the forefront of this movement, and, working alongside BetMGM, we will be bringing the highest quality IP online to the US. We couldn’t be more excited about the potential of this partnership and what it could mean for US customers for many years to come.”
