BetMGM Casino Alberta has launched Lightning Link High Stakes, introducing Aristocrat Interactive’s flagship slot franchise to its regulated online casino offering in the Canadian province.

The launch forms part of Aristocrat Interactive’s North American online rollout of Lightning Link, bringing one of the industry’s most successful land-based slot brands to digital players. The title is also available through BetMGM in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Ontario.

Lightning Link High Stakes features the franchise’s Hold & Spin mechanic alongside Cash-on-Reels, multi-denomination gameplay, a Big Reel feature during free games and progressive jackpots, including a Grand Jackpot.

Rob Passerino, Director of Gaming at BetMGM, said: “Very few slot franchises have achieved the staying power and player recognition of Lightning Link. Lightning Link High Stakes brings a casino-floor favourite into the digital experience for our Alberta players and reflects the type of premium, proven content we want BetMGM Casino Alberta to be known for – recognisable games, compelling features and entertainment rooted in the energy of Las Vegas.”

Originally launched more than a decade ago, Lightning Link has become one of the most recognisable slot brands in the casino industry and remains a leading performer on gaming floors worldwide. Aristocrat Interactive said the online release forms part of its strategy to bring proven land-based content to regulated iGaming markets.
