Key Takeaways
  • The House of the Dragon slot will launch exclusively at BetMGM Casino in Ontario and Alberta for six weeks.
  • Blueprint Gaming’s slot features the Dragon’s Wheel mechanic, Dance of the Dragon spins, Dragon Egg enhancements, and more.
  • The launch follows the performance of BetMGM’s exclusive Game of Thrones slot in Ontario and Alberta.

The House of the Dragon slot will remain exclusive to BetMGM for an initial six-week period.

Based on HBO’s House of the Dragon series, the slot features gameplay inspired by characters and storylines from the award-winning TV show. Its central mechanic, Dragon’s Wheel, expands on Blueprint Gaming’s Collect model used across the developer’s wider portfolio.

Additional features include Dance of the Dragon spins and Dragon Egg enhancements, whereas Dragon's Chest, Dragon's Fire, and Dragon's Lock deliver expanded symbols, alternative reel configurations, and respin features.

Blueprint Gaming’s Product Director, Charlie Jacka, said, “House of the Dragon™ offers us an exciting opportunity to build on our experience of creating games around some of the world’s most recognisable entertainment franchises. We have worked to capture the scale and identity of the series while giving the game a strong mechanical identity through its reach features. Launching exclusively with BetMGM gives us a fantastic platform to introduce our latest hit to players and we are excited to see it take flight.”

The launch follows the success of Blueprint Gaming’s Game of Thrones slot, which is based on the same fictional universe as House of the Dragon.

The game debuted exclusively at BetMGM Casino in Ontario in April 2026 before launching in Alberta in July 2026 after the regulated Alberta online casino market opened. It became one of BetMGM’s strongest-performing games in the province, setting records across multiple performance metrics.

Research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming also placed Game of Thrones among Canada’s top-performing new online slot launches.

BetMGM renews agreement with Oilers' Connor McDavid

In addition to its latest online casino game launch in Ontario and Alberta, BetMGM recently announced its renewed partnership with the three-time NHL Hart Memorial Trophy winner Connor McDavid, who first joined the operator’s roster line-up of ambassadors in March 2022.

In the multi-year agreement, McDavid will continue to feature in the operator’s responsible gambling campaigns across broadcast, digital, and social media, with the collaboration expanding into additional markets and audiences.

The partnership builds on BetMGM’s “Mullet Over” campaign, which the operator said contributed to a 27% year-over-year increase in accounts that utilize deposit limits since the campaign’s launch in December 2025.

Whether it's new state launches, the latest twists in regulation, or what the big operators and game providers are cooking up next, Ziv breaks it all down with clarity, context, and just the right amount of snark. He covers the business side of betting, from affiliate trends and revenue reports to the tech powering your favorite slots. His motto in writing is “let’s make it make sense without putting you to sleep.”

When he’s not tracking gambling legislation or looking for the next breaking story, Ziv is living and dying with every pitch and play from his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers, Pirates, and Penguins. As a Pitt graduate, it’s a city loyalty forged in heartbreak, but one he wouldn’t trade for anything, except maybe a few more playoff wins.

When away from the keyboard, Ziv loves to hit the road and soak up the energy of casinos. Whether strolling the neon jungle called the Vegas Strip, or wandering into a smoky riverboat casino in the Midwest, Ziv’s in his element. He’s the guy chatting with players, blackjack dealers, and asking pit bosses way too many questions, all in the name of “research,” of course. The casino floor isn’t just his workplace, it’s a weird and wonderful ecosystem of flashing lights, wild characters, and pure sensory overload, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
