About Dragon Spin Hub and Author Wendy Harcastle

I'm Wendy Harcastle, and I've spent eight years covering US online slots and iGaming regulation — testing games by actually logging in, depositing, and timing cashouts at licensed casinos rather than summarizing press releases. Dragon Spin Hub exists because reliable, firsthand information about the dragon spin slot from Bally Technologies is surprisingly hard to find in one place.

Who writes this site?

Before launching Dragon Spin Hub, I worked as a slots columnist at an iGaming affiliate network, which taught me how to read bonus terms critically and cross-check RTP figures against multiple sources. I've personally tested Dragon Spin sessions at DraftKings NJ and BetMGM — spinning in demo mode first, then depositing real money to observe how the Mystery Stacked Reels and Reel Blast bonus behave under actual wagering conditions. Every claim I publish has a source or a firsthand session behind it.

What does this site cover?

Dragon Spin Hub focuses on the original Bally Technologies Dragon Spin released in 2015, not the Barcrest Pick 'N' Mix variant or newer Light & Wonder sequels. Coverage spans the dragon spin slot machine mechanics, the RTP and low-volatility profile, and the three distinct free-spin modes. I also track licensed US casinos where Dragon Spin is available for real money — currently limited to states like New Jersey and Michigan that have legalized online casino gaming — and monitor casino bonus offers tied to those operators.

How do I verify legal and regulatory information?

Real-money online slots are legal in only eight states as of 2026: Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. I check operator licensing against state regulator records rather than taking casino marketing at face value. For Michigan, that means cross-referencing the Michigan Gaming Control Board; for New Jersey, the NJ Division of Gaming Enforcement. If a casino isn't licensed in your state, I won't recommend it for real-money play.

What about demo play and bonus research?

I cover the dragon spin slot demo as a legitimate way to learn the game's features before committing real money — the instant-play version requires no download and no deposit. On bonus pages, I flag when wagering terms are incomplete or when an affiliate-advertised offer differs from what appears on the casino's own cashier page. The Dragon Spin FAQ compiles the questions I get asked most often about the game's rules and where to play.

Have a correction, a question about a specific operator, or a tip about a new Dragon Spin variant? Get in touch with Dragon Spin Hub — I read every message. If you or someone you know needs support, the National Council on Problem Gambling operates a 24/7 helpline at 1-800-522-4700. Must be 21+ to play for real money in any US state.
