The 24/25 NFL campaign is just weeks away, and BetMGM plans to celebrate the beginning of the new season in style. The company has announced its ‘Kickoff with the Stars’ live dealer blackjack event, which will take place on September 5th in Atlantic City. Two former New York Jets players, Wayne Chrebet and Tony Richardson, will be taking part in the game.
Fan Interaction
The two former players will be trying their hand at live blackjack games hosted by Evolution and BetMGM at Evolution’s live casino studio in Atlantic City, New Jersey. As part of the event, fans will be able to interact with the former players.
To participate, players in the Garden State will need to log in to their BetMGM accounts between 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. local time. Hundreds of players will be able to partake in the game and interact with the two former players, with Chrebet and Richardson sharing anecdotes and their predictions for the year ahead.
New and Exciting Experiences
In a statement regarding the event, BetMGM described this mixture of sports stars and a live casino as a new and exciting experience for fans and players. The event seeks to promote both BetMGM’s live casino products and the beginning of the new NFL season for the New York Jets, who will kick off their season away at the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday, September 10th.
Speaking ahead of the event, BetMGM VP of Gaming Product & Content Oliver Bartlett said, ‘“By bringing together the star power of Jets legends Wayne Chrebet and Tony Richardson with the thrill of live dealer blackjack, BetMGM is creating an exciting event to celebrate the start of the NFL season. This showcases our live dealer offering and commitment to delivering new and entertaining experiences for our players.”
