IGT's American Idol MultiPLAY video slots have been launched at MGM Resorts International properties in the US as part of a 30-day exclusive partnership between the two companies.

The venture gives MGM access to the American Idol machines and, according to the companies, demonstrates the benefits of manufacturers and properties working together.

Steve Zanella, general manager of MGM Grand Detroit, said: "We are always looking to introduce new, innovative games and this 30-day exclusive with the American Idol games provides our guests the quality and entertainment they’ve come to expect.

"The partnership with IGT allows MGM Resorts the opportunity to offer our guests one of IGT’s premier platforms."

The penny denomination game, which has 40 pay lines and a 600-coin maximum bet, will also be installed at Biloxi’s Beau Rivage over the course of the next three months.
