RubyPlay, known for creating online casino games, has expanded its reach into West Virginia.
This move marks the third state where RubyPlay's games are available. The company designs digital slot games that players can enjoy for real money on licensed online casinos. Their games are famous for being visually stunning and entertaining, featuring multipliers, free spins, and jackpots.
In a recent statement, Dima Reiderman, the Chief Commercial Officer at RubyPlay, explained that each new state offers a chance to grow the company's business and build strong partnerships with major casino operators.
The announcement comes just weeks after lawmakers said they're considering a tax hike on West Virginia's online casino games. The Mountain State has one of the lowest tax rates among states with legalized online casinos in the U.S.
West Virginia's online casino industry continues to expand. In fact, the state adds new options regularly.

Some of RubyPlay's most popular titles include:
- Vegas No Limit Wins SE

- Mad Hit Devil
The company's most loved games are based on their unique Immortal Ways platform, including:

West Virginia already offers a variety of online casino options, and RubyPlay's expansion gives players more choices for playing slots and winning real money.
West Virginia Online Casinos Launched in 2020
The first legal online casinos launched in July 2020, starting with DraftKings Casino in partnership with Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. Others quickly followed, including:
Early operators included major brands like FanDuel, which joined as the fourth online casino in 2021. Platforms offer slots, blackjack, roulette, and more, but all must be linked to a licensed physical casino.
Growth and Current Status
The market has matured steadily.
By 2024, iGaming revenue had reached about $246.5 million, representing a significant year-over-year increase and a growing share of total casino revenue. In early 2026, monthly online casino revenue continued to climb, with records like over $40 million in a single month reported, reflecting national iGaming trends.
Around 10 online casinos are operational (of the potential 15), including platforms from DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars, BetRivers, and others.
Revenue is taxed at 15%, contributing to state funds for education, tourism, and other programs. While West Virginia's smaller population limits its scale compared to states like New Jersey or Pennsylvania, it remains a stable, competitive market with cross-promotion between sports betting and casino play.
West Virginia Online Casinos Becoming Extremely Popular
Today, online gaming is becoming increasingly popular in West Virginia, with a record-breaking $41.7 million in online casino revenue reported in January 2026. Though the numbers dipped slightly to $37.1 million in February, this still represents a 41.6% increase from February of the previous year. These impressive figures highlight why RubyPlay is eager to enter the West Virginia market.
Alongside online casino gaming, West Virginia also allows both in-person and online sports betting, legal since 2018. Meanwhile, online casino gaming has been officially legal in the state since July 2020.
Why Is This Expansion Important?
RubyPlay intends to expand beyond West Virginia, with Pennsylvania likely being their next destination. Overall, RubyPlay's move into West Virginia is a significant development in the world of online gaming, and they seem ready to bring their innovative and dynamic games to more players across the country.
