“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.

- 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 Cruises the River of Fortune in Sun Wind Cash Boat
This process will continue indefinitely, with all locked multipliers being re-applied to the prizes above them whenever a new scroll lands, until either all re-spins have been used or each reel has been filled. If players are lucky enough to have a scroll present on all ten bonus reels, they’ll automatically unlock the Mega Jackpot, though smaller jackpots can also appear during any spin.
At the end of the Cash Boat bonus, players will be returned back to the base game and will have the option to either collect their current winnings or gamble them for greater rewards in a simple pick feature that requires them to correctly guess the colour of a hidden card to double their prize.
Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “With SwinttPremium slots, Egyptian themes and Hold & Win-style bonuses all proving hugely popular with players, we’ve managed to combine all three in Sun Wind Cash Boat! Featuring a new twist on the classic re-spin format where multipliers of up to 10x are constantly applied to an ever-flowing river of prizes, the slot has all the ingredients to be another fan favourite addition to operators’ line-ups.”

Fins of Fortune
Gaming Corps Goes Deep — Fins of Fortune Brings Ocean Thrills
Gaming Corps has launched Fins of Fortune, its newest video slot that includes two rival Wild characters, coin-based prize symbols, and various Free Spins features.
Set in the dusky depths of the sea, Fins of Fortune centers its gameplay on the competition between the Shark and the Orca, as both animals emerge from the shadows in search of the ocean’s buried treasure. Set on a 4×5 grid featuring 1,024 winning combinations, the game ties its underwater theme to a distinct, structure based on ways.
Both Wild symbols are crucial in influencing the gameplay. The Shark Wild is found solely at the upper section of the third reel, whereas the Orca Wild can only land at the lower part of the same reel. While in action, each Wild can trigger a mix of Summon, Collect, and various prize-altering functions, affecting how the underwater treasures expand and change across the grid via Coins and Treasure Coins.
Coins may appear anywhere on the reels and can hold values up to x1,000 your bet, while Treasure Coins add extra prize levels such as Mini, Minor, Major, and Mega. Depending on the active Wild, Coin values can be added to, doubled, brought onto the grid, or gathered at the end of a spin, ensuring ongoing activity below the surface.
Free Spins can be activated by Wild symbols in the base game, with each character providing its unique Free Spins feature. In Shark Free Spins or Orca Free Spins, the particular Wild remains fixed on the grid throughout the feature, and Summon along with other prize-altering mechanics, like Adder or Double, are triggered more often. When the opposing Wild appears during these modes, the game advances to Fortune Free Spins, with both Wilds secured and extra spins given.
Viacheslav Pechernyi, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “With Fins of Fortune, the aim was to let the theme do more of the work. The Shark and Orca aren’t just visual characters: they influence how prizes build, how features trigger and how the Free Spins modes unfold, creating a game that feels structured but still unpredictable. It’s a strong addition to our 2026 launch schedule and sets the tone for what’s coming next.”
