Pennsylvania online casino players have a new way to tap into NASCAR racing season.

BetMGM and Richard Childress Racing announced Thursday the launch of “BetMGM Speedway,” a racing-themed iGaming title now live on BetMGM Casino in Pennsylvania, as well as in Michigan and New Jersey.

The game blends the energy of NASCAR with interactive casino mechanics. It gives PA players a fresh option just as the stock car season shifts into high gear.

A racing-inspired casino experience

BetMGM Speedway allows players to back RCR’s iconic No. 8 Chevrolet, driven by Kyle Busch, and the legendary No. 3 Chevrolet, driven by Austin Dillon. The gameplay is designed to reflect the speed and split-second decisions that define professional racing.

According to the press release, the game features a 94% return-to-player (RTP) rate, high volatility, and the potential for a maximum payout of up to 10,000 times a player’s bet. Users can place wagers on either car – or both simultaneously – and customize their experience with features like auto play and auto cashout.

“Partnering with RCR for BetMGM Speedway allows us to capture the elements of racing, such as acceleration and split-second decision-making, in a casino game,” said Matt Prevost, chief revenue officer at BetMGM.

“BetMGM Speedway is another way to get racing season off to a flying start.”

What it means for Pennsylvania players

The Keystone State remains one of the nation’s most competitive and mature iGaming markets, with BetMGM consistently ranking among the top operators in Pennsylvania online casino revenue. The addition of a branded, motorsports-themed title helps BetMGM further differentiate its product in a crowded field.

For PA players, Speedway adds variety beyond traditional slots and table games. It also complements the BetMGM Sportsbook offerings during NASCAR events. The crossover appeal could resonate in a state with deep motorsports roots and strong fan support for stock car racing.

Mike Verlander, president of Richard Childress Racing, emphasized the collaborative nature of the launch.

“BetMGM Speedway is a strong example of the collaborative nature between RCR and BetMGM. BetMGM is at the forefront of the sports betting and online gaming industry and RCR is proud to help BetMGM capture the thrill of racing leading into one of our sport’s biggest races.”

Responsible gaming remains front and center

As with all of its Pennsylvania products, BetMGM noted that responsible gambling tools are integrated into the platform, including GameSense resources available via desktop and mobile.

With NASCAR season underway, BetMGM Speedway gives Pennsylvania iGaming players a timely, high-octane addition to their gaming lineup. It’s one that merges brand power, racing heritage, and digital wagering into a single experience.
