The winningest team in professional baseball history with 27 World Series championships, the Bronx Bombers are partnering with one of the gaming industry\u2019s most recognizable brands in MGM. Through the affiliation, the Bellagio<\/a> and MGM Grand operator will offer its VIP players enrolled in MGM Rewards exclusive experiences like throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at Yankee Stadium and taking in batting practice from the warning track.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

MGM has owned and operated Empire City Casino and the Yonkers Raceway for the past five years. The company is a front-runner for one of the three downstate casino licenses expected to be issued by the end of 2025<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Empire City can presently only offer slot-like video gaming terminals and electronic table games on behalf of the New York Lottery. A full license would allow MGM to bring Las Vegas-style slots, live dealer table games, and sports betting to the facility located about seven miles north of Yankee Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Yankees deal expands MGM\u2019s MLB team sponsorships to five. The casino and BetMGM operator additionally has club deals with the Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Washington Nationals.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

MGM has a casino in Detroit, in Springfield, Mass., and is soon deploying its BetMGM online sportsbook in the nation\u2019s capital. Los Angeles is a major feeder market for MGM\u2019s casinos in Las Vegas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Iconic Team, Iconic Brand<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Along with offering its highest rewards members exclusive opportunities at Yankee Stadium, MGM Resorts becoming a \u201cProud Partner of the New York Yankees\u201d gives the casino company significant branding placement opportunities during Yankees\u2019 games.<\/span><\/p>\n

The MGM logo will be prevalent on LED signs throughout the stadium and will appear on rotating boards along the first and third baselines. MGM\u2019s iconic roaring lion will also appear digitally on the back of the pitcher\u2019s mound during live local television broadcasts of select games.<\/span><\/p>\n

Empire City will host Yankees-themed fan activities and experiences involving both active and former MLB players.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

We remain committed to investing in the community, while collaborating with the New York Yankees to provide unparalleled experiences for baseball fans,\u201d said Bill Hornbuckle, president and CEO of MGM Resorts. \u201cAs we continue working to secure a full commercial casino license at Empire City, this partnership allows us to further develop these properties to their potential, while providing the world-class hospitality guests have come to expect from the MGM Resorts brand.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Longtime MLB Partner<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Just five months after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the federal ban on single-game sports betting that had limited such gambling to Nevada, MGM Resorts in November 2018 struck a wide-ranging partnership with Major League Baseball<\/a> to become its \u201cOfficial Gaming Partner\u201d and \u201cOfficial Entertainment Partner.\u201d The company has also been the \u201cOfficial Partner of MLB Players, Inc.,\u201d since 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

MGM was additionally the title sponsor of the league\u2019s 2019 Opening Series<\/a> played in the Tokyo Dome. MGM is building a multibillion-dollar integrated resort casino in Osaka<\/a> and has held a significant brand presence in Japan since the country legalized up to three casino resorts in 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
