Hacksaw Gaming Broadens Reach in West Virginia Via DraftKings Collaboration
Provider of award-winning content to the online casino industry, Hacksaw Gaming, has signed a distribution agreement with DraftKings in the American state of West Virginia.
Under the terms of the deal, three popular Hacksaw Gaming slot titles in Hand of Anubis, Hop’N’Pop and Outlaws Inc have been added to DraftKing’s West Virginia-facing online casino lobby. Several additional Hacksaw Gaming games including flagship release Wanted Dead or a Wild, the charming Stack’em and the pulsating Gladiator Legends are set to be integrated over the coming weeks.
DraftKings becomes the second West Virginia-based operator to form an alliance with Hacksaw Gaming after the studio received full regulatory approval just last month, having also debuted in Lithuania recently to further enhance its international footprint.
“It’s been a hugely exciting couple of months on the United States front,” the Chief Executive Officer for Hacksaw Gaming, Marcus Cordes, said. “After receiving full regulatory approval last month, we’re thrilled to bolster our standing in West Virginia by adding another top-tier operator to our ranks.
“DraftKings is a name that needs no introduction in the world of iGaming and we’ve no doubt our top-shelf content will find scores of new casino fans through this partnership.”

Hacksaw Gaming and DraftKings Score Again in Ontario
2023 saw Hacksaw Gaming go live in West Virginia and New Jersey and now we have made our long-awaited entry in Ontario, Canada. Securing this trio has hit new heights and hopes for further successes throughout the rest of this year.
DraftKings Casino entered the iGaming market in Ontario in May of 2022 and partnered with Hacksaw Gaming in the back end of the same year. As Ontario’s regulated iGaming market only went live in April of 2022, the pair have given an outstanding performance with effective launch strategies and expansive footing in North America.
Apart from gaining an unprecedented reach across regulated markets, the mobile-friendly format of Hacksaw Gaming games can be visited on phone or tablet via the DraftKings Casino app. Boasting an impressive online casino’s selection of over 300 games, DraftKings now welcomes Hacksaw Gaming favourites such as Chaos Crew, Mines, Omnom and Boxes.
“The benchmarks we have set as a partnership are remarkable and we are ready to take on more challenges continuing into 2024,” the Chief Executive Officer for Hacksaw Gaming, Marcus Cordes, said.
