Marilyn Monroe once sang that diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Now, she’s hoping Slingos are too.
BetMGM and Gaming Realms have launched Slingo Marilyn Monroe, an exclusive new title timed to celebrate what would have been Monroe’s 100th birthday.
According to a BetMGM press release, Rob Passerino, BetMGM’s director of gaming, said the launch is expected to resonate with players.
“Partnering with Gaming Realms allows us to combine an iconic figure with the proven, popular Slingo format. Bespoke games like this are central to how BetMGM differentiates, and we are confident our players will love celebrating Marilyn Monroe’s centenary with this new release.”
Marilyn Monroe remains a timeless entertainement icon
Some celebrities fade with time. Marilyn Monroe seems to have missed that memo.
The actress, model, and cultural icon remains one of the most recognizable figures in entertainment history. Films such as Some Like It Hot and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes made her a household name, but her influence extends far beyond Hollywood.
Her image still appears on posters, clothing, artwork, and now online casino games. That kind of staying power made her a natural fit for a branded casino title.
How Slingo blends online slots and bingo into one format
For anyone unfamiliar with the format, Slingo is what happens when online slots and bingo combine.
Players spin reels to collect numbers on a bingo-style card. Match enough numbers, and prizes begin piling up.
Gaming Realms has turned Slingo into one of the most recognizable brands in online gaming, producing titles based on television shows, entertainment franchises and famous personalities.
Now Marilyn Monroe joins that lineup.
Classic Hollywood meets modern online casino gaming
While full gameplay details remain under wraps, the game is expected to lean heavily into Monroe’s image and old Hollywood aesthetic.
Players can expect glamorous visuals inspired by the golden age of cinema, with Monroe herself taking centre stage throughout the experience. The game also features luxury-themed symbols and Slingo’s signature grid-style gameplay.
It’s a very different look from the dragons, Vikings, and ancient Egyptian gods that typically fill real-money online casino lobbies.
For Gaming Realms, the partnership further strengthens its relationship with BetMGM Casino while expanding the reach of the Slingo brand through another major entertainment property.
“We are thrilled to further strengthen our partnership with BetMGM through the launch of Marilyn Monroe Slingo,” Ian Robson, Commercial Account Management Lead at Gaming Realms, said.
“Working closely with BetMGM, we’ve created a bespoke title that captures the glamour and excitement associated with Marilyn Monroe while delivering the engaging gameplay that Slingo fans know and love. We look forward to seeing players enjoy this release and the unique blend of entertainment and Slingo action it offers,”
