DraftKings adds more live casino content in West Virginia

DraftKings is expanding its iGaming portfolio in the state of West Virginia, with the new products arriving late last week and ahead of the weekend. As a result of the content expansion, DraftKings is now offering Infinite Blackjack, Roulette and Baccarat on top of its existing portfolio of options.

As an additive plus, the games are actually hosted in a live gaming environment along with a dedicated croupier who will guide you through the gameplay experience. This is a significant improvement over the RNG-driven games that are designed to appeal to a more solitary crowd.

The live experience has been highly sought-after in West Virginia and the American iGaming market, owing to the realistic gameplay that immerses players in the experience. DraftKings is giving a further boost to its content by adding the Rocket multiplayer game, which is designed to improve the social aspect of casino gameplay and offer players multiple rewards.

Content customization and immersion are the two key tenets that DraftKings follows as it seeks to make sure that it appeals to the tastes and preferences of modern gamers. The new games come on top of the company’s efforts to improve the gaming environment for everyone through the SERVES program, which is designed to protect consumers.

DraftKings currently operates more than 500 games in relevant iGaming markets across the United States. The company has focused on both the live and traditional iGaming portfolio, launching its products in traditional bastions, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

Newer releases include Connecticut and Ontario, along with West Virginia. The company is committed to ensuring that it expands in the iGaming portfolio confidently while creating new opportunities for players. DraftKings is a sports betting veteran who began as a fantasy sports platform provider, and gradually branched out into the traditional sports betting market.

It’s safe to say that DraftKings is one of the highest-grossing companies insofar as its sports betting products go. Still, the company is making a very determined shift towards the iGaming space as it sees it as an important opportunity.

In terms of revenue, iGaming and online casinos far outpace any sports betting market in the United States. This is mostly owing to the fact that sportsbooks end up paying a lot back to sports fans as a good percentage of the markets staked out are actually paying wagers for customers.

When sports betting was first legalized in 2018, there was some confusion among lawmakers about what revenue would be subject to tax. Some had confused the total sports betting handle with gross gaming revenue, which is calculated after subtracting the payouts to winning customers.

The hold percentage varies from one month to the next. DraftKings though is a leader in sports betting, fantasy and casino products, and it’s only natural that it continues to innovate with equal zest across the entire spectrum of the gambling experience. DraftKings has been live in West Virginia since 2021 when it partnered up with Hollywood Casino at Charlestown Races, a prerequisite for establishing a presence as a betting and iGaming operator in the state.
