This week International Game Technology and MGM Resorts International have revealed that they've been granted approval to offer a mobile gaming solution within the state.

The approval came from the Nevada Gambling Control Commission and will allow MGM Resorts to offer the PlaySpot mobile sportsbetting service throughout the Silver State. The product will allow those who hold MGM's M Life Rewards card to log in. M Life customers can deposit and withdraw money at any of the group's properties in Nevada.

Speaking about the launch MGM Resorts Executive Director of Interactive Gaming Development Lovell Walker said, "We worked closely with IGT throughout the development process to appropriately leverage PlaySpot technology, ensuring that the app delivers an unrivalled guest experience. M life Rewards members can enjoy sports wagering opportunities in Nevada from the pool, their hotel rooms or if they are a Nevada resident, from the comfort of their home."

IGT Senior VP of Global Product Marketing Matteo Monteverdi added: "PlaySpot brings sports betting forward into the mobile era, delivers unparalleled player experiences and helps MGM Resorts connect with players on an entertainment platform that they use every day."
