BetMGM is expanding its New Jersey online casino portfolio with a new partnership that brings the long-running reality television series “Survivor” into the iGaming space.
The operator announced it has teamed up with game developer Jogo Global and Banijay Rights to create exclusive “Survivor”-branded iGaming titles for its platform. The first two games have already launched, aligning with the premiere of the show’s milestone 50th season on CBS.
The agreement gives BetMGM Casino PA exclusive rights to release the titles as part of its gaming offerings in regulated US markets, including New Jersey.
Partnership will produce multiple ‘Survivor’ titles
The collaboration will see BetMGM and Jogo Global develop at least 10 games inspired by the franchise.
The first two releases – “Survivor” Triple Challenge and “Survivor” – Outwit – Outplay – Outlast – are already available, with additional titles planned throughout the rollout.
Oliver Bartlett, BetMGM’s vice president of gaming, said the deal reflects the company’s ongoing push to add recognizable entertainment brands to its platform:
“’Survivor’ is one of the most successful reality franchises in television history. Bringing exclusive ‘Survivor’ content to our players underscores BetMGM’s commitment to building a legendary powerhouse of entertainment.
“The show’s instantly recognizable brand and competitive spirit make ‘Survivor’ a pillar in our growing portfolio of exclusive content.”
BetMGM currently offers thousands of casino titles, including slots and table games, across its North American platforms. The operator also provides progressive jackpot games and plenty of New Jersey online casino bonuses.
‘Survivor’ brand expanding beyond television
Banijay Rights, which distributes the “Survivor” format globally, said the partnership reflects the franchise’s continued expansion into new entertainment categories.
Originally created by Charlie Parsons, “Survivor” has become one of the most successful reality competition series worldwide. The show has produced dozens of international adaptations and hundreds of seasons globally.
Mark Woollard, senior vice president of gaming and gambling at Banijay Rights, said the upcoming games will allow fans to engage with the franchise in a different format:
“Jogo is a trusted global partner of Banijay Rights with multiple licenses from our catalogue, so it’s fantastic that they’ve partnered with BetMGM for the North American release of our ‘Survivor’ IP content.”
“With the release of ‘Survivor’s’ 50th season this year, we are looking forward to seeing fans finally being able to engage in ‘Survivor’ casino content.”
Jogo Global developing the games
Jogo Global will oversee development of the titles, adapting elements of the show’s strategy and competition into gameplay.
David Marcus, CEO of Jogo Global, said the partnership combines a major entertainment property with one of the largest iGaming operators in North America.
“As ‘Survivor’ enters its landmark 50th season, the combination of one of the most iconic franchises in entertainment and the powerhouse that is BetMGM is a perfect match.”
“We’re proud to help bring the strategy, intensity, and competitive spirit of ‘Survivor’ into real-money gameplay in a way that feels authentic to the brand and compelling for US players.”
The “Survivor”-themed games will be available on BetMGM’s online platform on both desktop and mobile devices.
