To celebrate the greatest tournament of the year, BetMGM is giving customers a stake in an underdog with a free-to-play $100,000 Sleeper Sixteen Contest available through the mobile app.
“March is here and we’re preparing for the landmark tournament,” said BetMGM CEO Adam Greenblatt. “BetMGM will be front-and-center of the action elevating the experience for our fans with unique contests and world-class destinations across the country to catch the games.”
- Making History: This year’s tournament will have its place in the record books. Arizona is home to the BetMGM Sportsbook at State Farm Stadium is a 17,000-square-foot entertainment destination with state-of-the-art sportsbook amenities including giant video walls, dozens of wagering kiosks and a world-class bar and grill. Additionally, BetMGM projects 2024 to be the most bet on tournament in company history having recently expanded to North Carolina marking its 29th market in North America.
- BetMGM’s $100,000 Sleeper Sixteen Contest: Now that the bracket is set, all BetMGM players can play a free Sleeper Sixteen game on the mobile app. Players will spin a wheel to be assigned a team in the tournament that is a 10 through a 16 seed. If their team is one of the final 16 teams left in the tournament, the player will split $100,000 in bonus bets, divvied up among other users with that team. Contest not available in New York, Nevada or Puerto Rico.
- March Matchups 64% Boost Pack: Starting Wednesday, March 20, all BetMGM customers will receive a Boost Pack, containing three unique tokens to boost their favorite bets in the Round of 64. IThe boost pack will include an odds boost token, a parlay boost token, and a “live” token that can be used on any in-play wager. Promotion not available in Nevada or Puerto Rico.
- Inside the Lines: The following intel from the BetMGM trading team highlights the most notable early action across the country.
- Fan Favorite to Win: Kentucky, North Carolina and UConn are the most bet teams in the tournament to win it all. Michael Ranftle, Senior Trader at BetMGM, said, “Kentucky is our biggest liability to win the NCAA Tournament. However, with the recent launch of legal sports betting in North Carolina, the Tar Heels are becoming a big loser for the sportsbook with their hometown fans believing in them. Both blue bloods getting knocked out of the bracket early would be great for BetMGM.”

Swintt games go live in Italy after receiving ADM certification
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Rapidly-expanding software provider enters its 13th regulated market following Italian regulator’s approval of Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt titles
Having previously outlined its intentions to enter more regulated markets throughout 2025, sought-after software provider Swintt has announced that it has now officially been greenlit by Italy’s Agencia delle Dogane e dei Monopoli (ADM) to offer its slots in the country.
The new certification has initially been granted for Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt titles, and though further approval is planned for both SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect releases in the not-too-distant future, the provider has already put pen to paper with two of Italy’s leading operators.
Launched in 2024 following Swintt’s acquisition of Elysium Studios, Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt is a cutting-edge collection of releases that incorporates elements of social, mobile and casino gaming to deliver a more engaging experience that’s custom-made for the modern player.
Featuring inventive themes, innovative features and intuitive, mobile-first game mechanics, some of the biggest hits to come from the collaboration to date include the quirky, folk lore-inspired I Hate Fairytales and the swashbuckling skull and bones epic, Pirate Pledge Hold & Win.
Given both titles boast a cast of characters that includes everything from punk rock princesses to salty sea dogs and a huge selection of rewarding bonus rounds, the two games and many more from the Elysium Studios line-up are certain to prove a popular addition among Italian audiences.
With Swintt’s successful acquisition of ADM certification now paving the way for the provider to enter its 13th regulated market, the decision will significantly expand the company’s European footprint and enable it to form further partnerships with Italian operators in the months to come.
David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “At Swintt, our focus has always been on ensuring that our content gets put in front of players in as many regulated markets as possible – and acquiring ADM approval to offer our games in Italy is another significant step on this journey.
“As an established iGaming market with a huge emerging player base, we feel our Elysium Studios – Driven by Swintt line-up can make a big impact in the region and we look forward to being able to roll out our other core line-ups very soon.”

Swintt bring players four times the fun in Lucky Fortune Door Wild
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Sought-after software provider’s enhanced Premium release sees players step into the glow of the Far East as wild symbols and Quadspins combine for huge rewards
With Swintt having already opened the way to a world of wonder in the original Lucky Fortune Door, this month the award-winning software provider is back in action again with Lucky Fortune Door Wild – an exciting reboot that gives players even more ways to win!
Like its SwinttPremium predecessor, Lucky Fortune Door Wild is a five-reel slot that can be played with either five or ten paylines. Boasting an engaging Far East theme, the slot combines dragons, yin and yang pendants and coins with new golden ingot wilds that substitute for all other symbols.
The good news for fans of the original game is that the slot’s signature Quadspin mechanic again makes a welcome return. Activated whenever a win of at least 4x the bet is triggered, players will have the choice to either claim their current prize or gamble a portion of it to activate Quadspins.
Should they decide for the latter option, the gameboard will be divided into four separate reel sets to potentially quadruple the prizes on offer – and of course, with substitute wilds now also in play, the chances of players landing the slot’s maximum 6,000x win multiplier will be greatly increased.
As a further incentive, during Quadspins, an extra mystery symbol is also added to the reels. Should any instances of this icon appear on any of the four reel sets, they will be replaced by a random matching symbol to create additional payline wins and generate potentially huge prizes.
On top of this, should players continue to land wins of 4x their bet or greater during Quadspins, they can elect to remain in the feature for longer. With a maximum of 50 Quadspin available per set, the odds of them embarking on a prolonged winning streak are, therefore, much more likely.
To cap it off, all wins in Lucky Fortune Door Wild are paid from both left-to-right and right-to-left, meaning that no matter how aggressively players choose to play, fortune is only ever a spin away.
David Mann, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With Swintt’s signature Quadspin mechanic proving a hugely popular addition to our Premium line-up, we’re delighted to be giving the feature another outing in Lucky Fortune Door Wild. Offering the same great gameplay as the original release but now with added wilds, it’s sure to be a big hit with players and operators alike.”
