Abboushi is not a chance hire either, as he has spent 16 years with Creative Arts Agency, a talent and sports agency, where he has been able to work on various films, television shows, and specials that were created in collaboration with skilled storytellers and has been delivering strong results for clients.
Abboushi will now have at his disposal numerous assets to manage and leverage for the betterment of the brand’s entertainment efforts, including show bookings, talent management, partner relationships, and more, all of which he will oversee himself.

In the meantime, BetMGM has continued to capture headlines. Only recently, the company revealed the details about a $609,198 jackpot win by a Michigan player who played the casino-exclusive MGM Grand Millions.
A player also flipped a $1.76 bet into a $10,331.70 payout, with the MGM brand continuing to generate excitement through its multi-million-dollar prizes available to players all over the country. Abboushi will lean into that and other assets to boost the entertainment value that the MGM brand adds for players.
