Golden Nugget Casino is available on desktops and mobile apps. It is available on both iOS and Android.
Powered by DraftKings’ technology platform, Golden Nugget has a lot of features familiar to Ontario online casino users.
Golden Nugget operates pursuant to an Operating Agreement with iGaming Ontario.
Golden Nugget Casino Offers Expansive Slot Options
Golden Nugget has built up its reputation in the US online casino scene for many years.
The operator made a big shift starting in 2022 when it was acquired by DraftKings.
The new ownership has opened the door for a shared loyalty program between the two casino operations. That will remain the case in Ontario, where new Golden Nugget users should see a familiar layout and gaming options.
Golden Nugget has accrued thousands of online slots for its gaming library. That includes popular titles like Blood Suckers, 88 Fortunes, Jack Hammer 4, Huff N’ More Puff, Cleopatra, and more.
It will also include DraftKings exclusive titles like Rocket, Dollar Up, and Quakey Shakey.
On top of the slot options, Golden Nugget features dozens of table games, including live dealer.
Ontario Online Casinos Up 37% in Revenue
The Ontario iGaming market is quite vast with 50 regulated operators and over 85 online gaming websites in the province.
Golden Nugget becomes the latest to join, but it’s affiliation with DraftKings should help it weed through some of the competition.
Collectively, Ontario online casinos continue to see growth in revenue.
For July, the iGaming market produced CA$252.3 million in revenue through slots and table games. It was the second-highest monthly total in Ontario history.
Thus far in 2025, the Ontario online market is up 37.6% in revenue for slots and table games compared to a year ago.
The collective entities have produced CA$1.69 billion in revenue, compared to CA$1.23 billion through July of 2024.
