LAS VEGAS and LONDON, Aug. 28, 2025 /CNW/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE:MGM) ("MGM Resorts" or the "Company") and Playtech today announced that they have expanded the "Live from Vegas" offering with the launch of Family Feud, a licensed adaptation of Fremantle's classic gameshow, streamed live and in real time from a studio located on MGM Grand's casino floor in Las Vegas.
This is the first interactive game show of its kind to be broadcast live from a Las Vegas casino floor and is available to operators in regulated markets, outside of the U.S. The studio also broadcasts a variety of interactive table games, including blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, all hosted in a fully transparent glass studio visible to the public 24/7.
"MGM Resorts, with Playtech and Fremantle, is at the forefront of digital gaming bringing the iconic Las Vegas experience to people around the globe," said Gary Fritz, President, MGM Resorts International Interactive. "The live dealer studio marks a major step in our growth strategy and pursuit of being the world's premier gaming entertainment company. We will continue working to create unforgettable moments and new ways to enjoy what the Las Vegas Strip has to offer."
Building on the successful launch of "Live from Vegas" in June 2024, which saw the introduction of multiple live dealer table games being broadcast from both MGM Grand and Bellagio Resort & Casino, this marks the second phase of MGM Resorts and Playtech's strategic partnership, a significant milestone in the delivery of new and distinctive live gaming experiences.
Mor Weizer, Chief Executive Officer at Playtech, added: "We're proud to unveil our full suite of live-streamed experiences from Las Vegas, now featuring Family Feud. This next phase of our collaboration with MGM Resorts and Fremantle represents our shared ambition to redefine live gaming entertainment. Together, we're introducing a new category of immersive and engaging content to support growth in regulated markets, built on a foundation of robust compliance and player protection."
Suzanne Lopez, Chief Operating Officer at Fremantle commented, "Our partnership with MGM Resorts and Playtech brings together world-class entertainment, technological innovation, and gaming excellence. For the first time, Family Feud has been integrated into a live dealer environment, powered by actual survey questions from the official Family Feud franchise. This collaboration delivers a truly unique and authentic game show experience."
As the MGM Resorts-Playtech partnership continues to evolve, the plan is to broaden the portfolio with unique entertainment experiences for which Las Vegas and MGM Resorts are known. Both brands look forward to working with operators to support and promote a safe and responsible gambling experience.
