“We know that our players are always looking for rewards that they can enjoy close to home,” noted Andrew Pascal, PlayStudios founder, chair, and chief executive officer. 

“Adding MGM Northfield Park to our collection opens up new geographic possibilities and serves as a further testament to the value of our collaboration with MGM Resorts International.

“Northfield Park is the 18th MGM property to join playAwards, extending an incredibly successful partnership that began nearly 10 years ago.”

The playAwards rewards portfolio includes a collection of real-world perks from a multitude travel, leisure, lifestyle, and entertainment brands across the globe. 

This includes access to a lineup of exclusive rewards from MGM Resorts’ properties, including Bellagio, Aria, Vdara, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, Park MGM, The Mirage, New York-New York, Luxor, Excalibur, Beau Rivage, Gold Strike, Borgata, MGM Detroit, MGM National Harbor, MGM Springfield, and MGM Cotai.

“With the addition of MGM Northfield Park to the playAwards portfolio, players and guests can experience the excitement of our resorts throughout the country.”
