Light & Wonder, a leading casino equipment and game technology provider, has announced an expanded deal with Everi Digital, the online gaming arm of Everi Holdings. The agreement will enable both companies to offer their innovative content to new players and operators in the UK, Europe, and South America.
A Milestone for Light & Wonder’s iGaming Strategy
The deal is part of Light & Wonder’s iGaming strategy, which aims to forge major agreements with game developers to accelerate its position as a premium global content provider. Light & Wonder’s online ecosystem delivers more than 3,500 games from a global network of in-house and third-party game studios with unrivaled ease of integration that is robust and secure.
The agreement will initially serve Light & Wonder’s customers in the UK with a range of games from the 70-strong catalogue of Everi Digital, delivered to the network through Light & Wonder’s online ecosystem. Customers in Italy will also be the first in the country to gain access to Everi Digital’s distinct titles in the summer of this year through the new agreement, with additional new European markets to follow by the end of 2024 on an exclusive basis. The roll-out in South America is scheduled to take place in Q1 2024.
Everi Digital’s Award-Winning Content
Everi Digital’s parent company Everi Holdings Inc. is a premier provider of land-based and digital casino gaming content and products, financial technology, player loyalty solutions, and bingo. Everi has continually updated its server-based gaming solution to support its award-winning online stepper content, video instant-win style games, and new-to-be-launched perceived skill games that fit the industry trend of experiential themes.
Everi Digital’s games catalogue has already proven popular with players in North America through an existing distribution deal with Light & Wonder, a relationship that has gone from strength to strength over the past four years. The expanded deal represents the latest phase of Light & Wonder’s iGaming strategy – to forge major agreements with game developers to accelerate its leading position as a premium global content provider.
