BetMGM launched the title House of the Dragon, developed by Blueprint Gaming, exclusively with initial access for players in Alberta and Ontario during an exclusive period of six weeks. The company announced the release on 21 October 2026 and positioned the launch as exclusive on its platforms in those two provinces.

Launch details

House of the Dragon will be available only on BetMGM in Alberta and Ontario for the first six weeks after release. The game was created by Blueprint Gaming and is inspired by the HBO Original series. The exclusivity gives players in those provinces first access to the adaptation of the world of Westeros in slot format.

Game mechanics and features

Blueprint Gaming designed House of the Dragon to centre the player on the Targaryen dynasty. The title introduces the new Dragon’s Wheel feature, which elevates the Collect model associated with the supplier’s portfolio. Other notable mechanics include Dance of the Dragon Spins with Dragon Egg upgrades that modify the reels, as well as Dragon’s Chest, Dragon’s Fire and Dragon’s Lock, which provide expanding symbols, specialised reel layouts and respin sequences.

“House of the Dragon gives us an exciting opportunity to leverage our experience creating games around some of the most recognisable entertainment franchises in the world,” said Charlie Jacka, Product Director at Blueprint Gaming.

Performance background and content strategy

BetMGM strengthened its relationship with Blueprint Gaming with this release following the earlier success of Game of Thrones, which debuted exclusively on BetMGM Casino in Ontario in April. After regulated iGaming opened in Alberta in July, Game of Thrones became one of BetMGM Casino’s top-performing titles in that province. Eilers & Krejcik Gaming ranked Game of Thrones among the most successful new online game launches in Canada.

BetMGM highlights a strategy of securing high-profile branded content to differentiate its online offering. The operator integrated the new title into its mobile and desktop platforms for the Canadian markets of Alberta and Ontario; company statements emphasise that priority for its [casino](/casino) catalogue and for promoting the launch in [news](/news).

Responsible gaming

BetMGM maintains a focus on responsible gaming and offers resources such as GameSense, a programme developed and licensed to BetMGM by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. GameSense is integrated into BetMGM’s platforms to provide customers the same tools used at MGM Resorts properties.
