In-house team develops innovative
future-proofed solution to provide operators with high quality
games with market focused features
Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,”
“L&W”) presents its new, ground-breaking Wonder 500™ product
exclusively with Sky Betting & Gaming in the UK.
Created by Light & Wonder’s in-house development team as a
result of direct operator feedback, changes in play behavior and
impending reduction in maximum online staking levels in the UK, the
pioneering Wonder 500™ range of titles on the OPENGAMING™ platform
offers operators a market specific, player friendly and engaging
suite of content to elevate any homepage.
The Wonder 500™ series provides players with a £2 maximum stake
level and a maximum win of 500x the stake also provides a frequent
bonus hit rate, which offers players an enhanced entertainment
experience. This innovative product which combines proven mechanics
and themes, offers a new take on casino entertainment, which
players can enjoy safely and responsibly.
Light & Wonder’s long-term operator partner Sky Betting
& Gaming will exclusively roll out the first Wonder 500™ games
to their players later this month, with MIGHTY BLACK KNIGHT™,
SPARTACUS™ and ROD & ANNETTE GO FISHING™ amongst the first
titles from the series to hit the market. Many more games are
planned for 2023 and beyond and the launch will be accompanied by a
promotional campaign that features a 10-day Prize Draw.
Rob Procter, VP Game Development at Light & Wonder,
said: “With an ever-changing UK iGaming landscape, operators
are facing a different environment that is packed with shifting
player dynamics, new regulatory focuses, and fresh challenges. At
Light & Wonder, we continually innovate our iGaming content and
products to engage players, whilst keeping responsible gaming at
heart.”
Eamon Beardsley, Head of Content at Sky Betting & Gaming,
said: “Having worked with Light & Wonder for many years, we
have seen how they create products with the player at the front and
centre of the development process and that fit with our strategy
for the UK market.
“Wonder 500™ is a fantastic addition to Light & Wonder’s
in-house portfolio of games and we can’t wait to put the product in
front of our audience. We have a major promotional campaign in
place to support our exclusive launch and are fully behind the
series believing that it offers players a superb gaming
experience.”
