BetMGM and Borgata Hotel Casino launch Evolution’s omnichannel Dual Play Baccarat in NJ

BetMGM and Atlantic City's Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa have announced the launch of Dual Play Baccarat, now available at BetMGM and Borgata Online Casino in New Jersey. Dual Play Baccarat, from Live Casino provider Evolution, allows players at the casino’s physical Baccarat table and online players to participate in the same game. It is the first Dual Play Baccarat based in the United States serving a regulated US market.    
   
With multiple cameras positioned around the table, Dual Play Baccarat brings online players "a fully immersive experience.” An unlimited number of players can join the game online in real-time, providing them with an experience similar to being seated at the live table in Borgata. 
  
“Dual Play Baccarat is one of the best ways to bring the excitement of live table games to our online casino players,” said Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM’s VP of Gaming Product & Content. “Similar to the familiar slot titles like Buffalo and Wheel of Fortune at BetMGM, we look for ways to build connections to on-property play and games that resonate with players.”

James Bruno, Borgata’s Vice President of Casino Operations, said: “Borgata has long been a leader in gaming innovation, and the launch of Dual Play Baccarat further elevates that reputation. This dynamic addition bridges the energy of our casino floor with the convenience of online play, offering players an immersive and seamless way to engage with one of their favorite games.”

The arrival of Dual Play Baccarat builds on BetMGM’s previous omnichannel initiatives to bridge digital and retail gaming. In August 2023, Dual Play Roulette arrived at Borgata and online at BetMGM and Borgata Online Casino in New Jersey. It was the first Evolution Dual Play game at an MGM Resorts property in North America. Since its debut, Dual Play Roulette has been one of Borgata’s most popular tables. 

 
Jacob Claesson, Evolution North America’s CEO, said: “Evolution Dual Play Baccarat is an innovative product that brings together land-based players and an unlimited number of online players at the same casino table. This game is the first of its kind in the United States, and we’re very excited for BetMGM to be leading the way with this type of omnichannel initiative.”

“Dual Play Baccarat follows the launch of Dual Play Roulette that opened in 2023 at Borgata, which quickly became a very popular way to play roulette. We’re incredibly proud of our partnership with BetMGM and fully committed to supporting them as they continue to innovate and build truly engaging player experiences.”
