Gaming Realms has partnered with BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, to launch Marilyn Monroe Slingo. The new title celebrates one of Hollywood’s most iconic stars whose legacy continues to resonate a century after her birth.

Developed exclusively for BetMGM, the game combines the glamour of Marilyn Monroe with Gaming Realms’ unique Slingo mechanic, blending the excitement of slots with the familiarity of bingo to create an engaging player experience.

Inspired by the elegance of Hollywood’s golden age and launched as part of celebrations marking the centennial of Marilyn Monroe’s birth, the game features luxury-themed symbols and stylish visuals as players spin the reels, match numbers on the Slingo grid and climb the prize ladder in pursuit of rewarding wins.

The release further strengthens the successful partnership between Gaming Realms and BetMGM, while showcasing the provider’s ability to create bespoke branded content that helps operators differentiate their offering and engage players through recognisable entertainment brands.

Ian Robson, Commercial Account Management Lead at Gaming Realms, said: “We are thrilled to further strengthen our partnership with BetMGM through the launch of Marilyn Monroe Slingo. Working closely with BetMGM, we’ve created a bespoke title that captures the glamour and excitement associated with Marilyn Monroe while delivering the engaging gameplay that Slingo fans know and love.

“We look forward to seeing players enjoy this release and the unique blend of entertainment and Slingo action it offers.”

Rob Passerino, BetMGM’s Director of Gaming, said: “Partnering with Gaming Realms allows us to combine an iconic figure with the proven, popular Slingo format. Bespoke games like this are central to how BetMGM differentiates and we are confident our players will love celebrating Marilyn Monroe’s centenary with this new release.”
