Fear not, we've got you covered. Sign up for BetMGM in Alberta with registration code SPORTSLINECAS.

First and foremost, Albertans should know how they can be eligible to play BetMGM Casino games.

Residents must be at least 18 years old and physically located in the province to create an account with the BetMGM Casino app Alberta. This is proven in the sign-up process, as customers must provide their full name and birth date, among other details, and upload a copy of their driver's licence or passport to verify their identity.

Once signed up, eligible users can make their first real-money deposits with the Alberta online casino using a variety of payment methods, including debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, Apple Pay and online banking, among others.

From there, BetMGM Casino players can start finding and playing casino games online.

BetMGM Casino features one of the deepest catalogues of games in North America, launching in Alberta with 1,100 titles. Here are some of the most popular games listed so far, according to the casino app.

From Aristocrat comes Gold Stacks 88 Dancing Foo, a medium-to-high volatility slot with a 5-by-3 layout and carrying an Asian festival theme. With a return-to-player (RTP) rate of almost 95%, this slot boasts several features that come with bonuses for users. 

That includes Gold Stacks, where one symbol is randomly selected to appear in glittering gold stacks, increasing the chances of landing a big win. Wild Reels involves the Choy wild landing on reels 2, 3 or 4 and transforms the entire reel into a stacked wild, creating better opportunities for larger payouts. And by landing between three and five scatter symbols, users can earn up to 20 free spins with Gold Stacks turning into Choy wilds.

From fruits to candies, Sweet Bonanza from Pragmatic covers all the classic symbols in slots action. With a 6-by-5 setup and an RTP of up to 96.51%, this slot also pays out up to 21,000x the base bet, making things potentially even sweeter for players. 

The scatter pays mechanic allows for matching symbols to pay out regardless of where they land on the grid, while the free spins bonus can unlock even more substantial winning combinations. Users can also match at least four scatters to trigger free spins in a game that features low-paying symbols like grapes, apples and bananas, as well as higher-paying, hard candy symbols, including the lollipop scatter and a sugar bomb bonus multiplier.

Gameplay doesn't get much more expansive than in Buffalo Chief, which has 3,456 paylines in base gameplay but can increase to up to 16,000 paylines at any given moment. 

Boasting a max win of up to 4,000x, this medium-to-high volatility slot, which also has an RTP of around 95%, can see the Buffalo Chief Stampede expanding reel feature be randomly triggered. When it does, the middle three reels expand to 10 rows and come with a guaranteed five-of-a-kind buffalo symbol combination that pays out 300x. 

If that weren't enough, users can also unlock free games by landing between three and five gold coin scatters, which award up to 20 free spins.

When BetMGM Casino users think of slots, they no doubt think about MGM Grand Millions, a game developed in-house and exclusive to BetMGM Casino. The title has five reels and what's known as an "All Ways" gameplay, boasting up to 243 ways to win in the main game and 1,024 ways during the free spins feature. 

Players have the chance to win one of five progressive jackpot slots with the bonus wheel, while they can also unlock free spins and multipliers for decently sized payouts.

Blackjack is easily one of the most popular casino games. BetMGM Casino has the exclusive BetMGM Blackjack Pro, in which players have the opportunity to play up to three hands simultaneously and wager on side bets known as Perfect Pairs and 21+3. 

These side bets create a more exciting way to experience the traditional table game, which is often considered one of the most user-friendly with an RTP of up to 99.5%.

It's not just slots and table games at BetMGM Casino. There is also a decent amount of live dealer casino games, featuring real dealers and hosts streaming from dedicated studios and interacting with players. 

Among those games is Evolution's Speed Baccarat, a faster-paced variation of the table game that involves users wagering on which hand (between Banker and Player) will have the highest collective single-digit total. 

With an RTP of up to nearly 99% and with easy-to-learn rules, this live dealer title is perfect for beginners looking to experience live dealer games.

With over 1,100 titles in its library, BetMGM Casino features a plethora of different styles of games, not only in terms of mechanics but also in themes and general gameplay.

Because of that library depth, users have ample opportunities to find the right style that fits their tastes, not only with BetMGM but with all licensed online casinos Canada has to offer. Taking advantage of the search functionality and exploring the category carousels is heavily encouraged so customers can try different kinds of games.

There is no guarantee that one specific game or type of game will generate wins. It's all about personal preference. While these suggested titles are among the most popular at BetMGM Casino, they might not match every user. Take your time. Explore, discover and enjoy.
