Caesars Entertainment has become the first online casino operator to launch a beloved suite of online slot titles from Aristocrat Interactive. The debut lineup is now live in West Virginia across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Caesars Sportsbook & Casino, and Horseshoe Online Casino, solidifying Caesars’ position as a leader in bringing well-known land-based brands to regulated iGaming markets.

The initial exclusive rollout features standout Aristocrat titles, including 5 Dragons, Fu Dai Lian Lian Panda, and Super Mouse Grand. With these games now live, Caesars will continue to expand its West Virginia catalogue with the addition of other popular Aristocrat Interactive releases, including Mo’ Mummy and Buffalo, two of the most iconic slot franchises on casino floors across North America, as well as coordinate targeted promotions and Caesars Rewards experiences for eligible players.

“So many of our players have discovered Aristocrat’s titles while visiting our resorts in Las Vegas or traveling to other Caesars destinations and we are excited to be the first to bring that same experience online in West Virginia. With these popular titles now live on our platforms, players can enjoy the games they know and love with the rewards and reliability they expect from Caesars,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
