Star Trek: The Next Generation Slot Game Now Available Exclusively at BetMGM Casino
BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced that Star Trek: The Next Generation is now exclusively available at BetMGM Casino. Atlantic Digital, a London-based game studio, has created an immersive iGaming experience around one of the greatest science fiction television series of all time. Star Trek: The Next Generation is currently available in Michigan and BetMGM plans to make the slot available to all states where the operator’s iGaming offering is live.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is a high-volatility slot game with 5 reels, 5 symbols and 3125 ways to win. It takes players on a space-based slot adventure on the USS Enterprise with Star Trek characters Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Deanna Troi, William Riker, Data, and Worf. The symbols include 5 high character symbols, 5 low symbols, and a scatter symbol. The slot game features cascading reels, free spins, respin bonus, and Warp Speed wheel.
In September 2023, BetMGM announced its partnership with Atlantic Digital. BetMGM is the exclusive U.S. home of Atlantic Digital’s portfolio of proprietary games which features a series of prominent film and TV titles. The Godfather slot was the first title to launch from the partnership followed by Star Trek: The Next Generation.
“Star Trek is one of the biggest media franchises of all time. We are honored to expand its universe to iGaming. Star Trek: The Next Generation is a bonus-feature filled game that players will love. It is another perfect addition to our ever-growing library of games that can’t be found anywhere else in the United States,” Oliver Bartlett, Vice President of Gaming Product & Content at BetMGM.
Atlantic Digital specializes in combining compelling gaming mechanics with some of the world’s hottest film and television brands to create immersive experiences for players. It adds to BetMGM’s award winning-online casino which is home to over 1500 games, in-house produced titles by Entain, first-class partnerships, and the largest state-by-state exclusive jackpot network in the country.
“We are delighted to launch our second slot with BetMGM and it doesn’t get much bigger than Star Trek. We are very proud of this game and we have no doubt it will go intergalactic. Building on our already deep relationship with BetMGM, this is the start of many big titles to come in 2024. In the words of Picard, ‘Make it so, Number one’,” Sam Hobcraft, CEO of Atlantic Digital, said.

Derek Jeter Joins BetMGM’s Team of Legendary Ambassadors

BetMGM announced a multiyear partnership with baseball legend and five-time World Series champion Derek Jeter. As BetMGM’s newest brand ambassador, Jeter will appear in national marketing campaigns including the “Legendary Plays” spot, scheduled to premiere on July 15. BetMGM Casino also plans to launch an exclusive Jeter-themed slot game. Currently, there are no other online casino games featuring a current or former professional baseball player.
“BetMGM’s commitment to excellence and overall approach help them stand out as an innovator in their space. They have worked hard to create a real community in their audience. I look forward to working with their team to build connections within their base of players and support the company’s continued growth,” Jeter said.
The Hall of Fame shortstop joins BetMGM’s prestigious roster of sports legends, which includes Barry Sanders, Tim Howard and Wayne Gretzky, among others. Jeter will be featured prominently across advertising campaigns and digital platforms, make appearances at exclusive VIP events and play a key role in promoting BetMGM’s responsible gambling initiatives in both the US and Canada.
Casey Hurbis, Chief Marketing Officer at BetMGM, said: “As BetMGM’s brand continues to evolve, we could not think of a better baseball ambassador to add to our Mount Rushmore of legendary athletes than Derek Jeter. ‘The Captain’s’ universal appeal and proven track record of excellence, both on and off the field, will provide players with extraordinary experiences only available at BetMGM.”
Over his storied 20-year career with the New York Yankees, Jeter earned a reputation as a game-changing athlete, revered for his consistency, clutch performances and leadership. “The Captain” collected more than 3000 hits, won five Gold Gloves and was a 14-time All-Star while serving as the cornerstone of numerous championship teams. His legacy on the field, and his presence off it, continues to inspire generations of baseball fans.
As BetMGM continues to expand into new markets and introduce new features, responsible gaming remains a key focus. Additionally, BetMGM provides resources to help customers play responsibly including GameSense, an industry leading program, developed and licensed to MGM Resorts by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. Through the integration within BetMGM’s mobile and desktop platforms, customers can receive the same GameSense experience they have grown to rely on at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. This complements BetMGM’s already existing responsible gambling tools which serve to provide customers with an entertaining and safe digital experience.
