Slots provider Lightning Box has entered Michigan after reaching an agreement with operator Churchill Downs.

Games from Lightning Box are now available on Churchill Downs’ TwinSpires sportsbook and casino platform in Michigan.

The Australian company has now launched three of its slots on TwinSpires; these are ChickenFox, Lightning Horseman and Lightning Leopard.

Peter Causley, CEO of Lightning Box, said said: “Churchill Downs needs no introduction to sports fans, as it’s the home of the famous Kentucky Derby; and now it is great to see that its’ TwinSpires sportsbook and casino brand is also making big impressions.

“Lightning Box also has a long heritage in the States and our games are loved by lots of Americans. We’re very much looking forward to sharing them with even more people in Michigan.”

Richard Sagman, VP iGaming for Churchill Downs, added: “Lightning Box produces good quality games that our customers will enjoy and we’re excited about the opportunities that this new cooperation presents.

“TwinSpires is backed by the Churchill Downs team that has more than 140 years of racing wagering history in the United States and is now leading the way with its new online sportsbook and casino product.”

Previously, Lightning Box went live in Pennsylvania last year and has been working in New Jersey since 2014.
