Omnichannel launch planned with Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa

JERSEY CITY, NJ (August 8, 2024) – BetMGM, a leading iGaming and sports betting operator, announced today that DRAGON TRAIN – Chi Lin Wins™ is now exclusively available at BetMGM Casino in New Jersey, Michigan and West Virginia.

DRAGON TRAIN is Light & Wonder’s fasting selling game in the Australian market since its debut in 2023 and the popularity of the game has fueled its entry in the United States. DRAGON TRAIN is launching with a series of four exciting titles with DRAGON TRAIN – Chi Lin Wins™ as the first to debut.

  • DRAGON TRAIN – Chi Lin Wins™
  • DRAGON TRAIN – Khutulun Battle Princess™
  • DRAGON TRAIN – Sun Shots™
  • DRAGON TRAIN – Forever Emperor™
"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."

Oliver Bartlett - Vice President of Gaming Product & Content, BetMGM

DRAGON TRAIN – Chi Lin Wins™ is a high-volatility 5×3 reel slot with four progressive jackpots: the Fortune 8, Grand, and Major. It includes the thrilling Hold & Spin feature, new Sticky Reels and a Cash Cluster game. The DRAGON TRAIN Feature is activated if the player lands on an Orb during the Hold & Spin feature. The player then spins a special mini-Hold & Spin to add more credits to their original win, and a chance at the Fortune 8 Jackpot.

For the first time in Atlantic City, players can experience the thrill of DRAGON TRAIN at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa on the award-winning KASCADA™ Dual Screen cabinet. To celebrate the highly anticipated arrival of DRAGON TRAIN, Borgata will host an event for players and partners on Thursday, Aug. 8, followed by a weekend filled with promotions.

"The addition of DRAGON TRAIN to our gaming portfolio highlights our ongoing commitment to enhancing our casino offerings and delivering top-notch guest entertainment."

James Bruno - Vice President of Casino Operations, Borgata

"L&W is delighted to work with our long-time partners at BetMGM and The Borgata on a true cross-channel launch with DRAGON TRAIN. The game performance on the land-based side bodes extraordinarily well for the online debut of DRAGON TRAIN-Chi Lin Wins and we are sure iGaming players will enjoy the thrilling game as well."
