“The ability to bring ‘Vegas Magic’ to its players is one of the biggest reasons BetMGM is so unique,” said Gretzky. “Gretzky Light the Lamp is a great combined example of my role as a BetMGM ambassador and the company’s constant innovation.”

Developed by Spinberry, an omnichannel game development studio, Gretzky Light the Lamp is a 25 line, 5×3 slot game with a hockey theme that includes free spins and wild re-spins. The game is the first to showcase Spectacular Link and Spectacular Link Frenzy. Players will see Wayne Gretzky wearing a gold and black jersey adorned with a BetMGM logo.

“Wayne Gretzky’s historic legacy in hockey makes him a wonderful ambassador for BetMGM,” said Oliver Bartlett, VP of gaming product and content at BetMGM. “We are honored to create a game that showcases his likeness and brings the excitement of lighting the lamp to iGaming.”

Gretzky, Hockey and Online Casinos

Gretzky signed a multi-year brand ambassador deal with BetMGM in 2021 to bolster marketing efforts. In addition to a new exclusive casino game, Gretzky is also the star of BetMGM’s new advertising campaign. Directed by Philippe André and produced in partnership with Emmy award-winning agency, Highdive, the commercial, “Vegas Magic,” highlights how live dealer games from BetMGM Casino let you feel the magic of Vegas in your own home, whenever and wherever you want the excitement of Vegas table games. The spot finishes with Gretzky at the blackjack table making a reference to his famous jersey number 99.

BetMGM’s online casino is home to over 5,400 titles across North American markets and one of the largest state-by-state exclusive progressive jackpot networks. BetMGM’s jackpot network currently consists of over 25 games including popular titles such as MGM Grand Millions, Bison Fury, and 15 Lanterns.

On July 9, 1946, the American League dominated the All-Star Game with a 12-2 victory at Fenway Park. Red Sox legend Ted Williams starred by going 4-for-4 with a walk, five RBIs, and two home runs—including one off Rip Sewell's famous high-arching "eephus" pitch. On the mound, Bob Feller, Hal Newhouser, and Jack Kramer each tossed three innings to limit the National League to just three hits.
