The Dragon Train has made its first stop in North America’s online iGaming market, pulling into the New Jersey, Michigan and West Virginia online casino markets via prominent online operator BetMGM Casino.
The Dragon Train franchise is built by the well-known game studio Light & Wonder and has four different titles that many US online casino customers can play. BetMGM also noted that Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa is home to a land-based Dragon Train title.
BetMGM Vice President of Gaming Product & Content Oliver Bartlett said in news release that the company is excited to bring Dragon Train to the U.S. after the game has experienced overseas success:
BetMGM is honored and excited to be the first iGaming operator to bring Dragon Train to the United States. The game’s incredible performance in Australia set a high standard and we are confident that Light & Wonder has created a game that will captivate players online and on U.S. casino floors.

The games are available at dozens of land-based gaming properties, including locations in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Iowa, Indiana and Illinois.
