Light & Wonder, Inc. has revealed that its specialist slots supplier LIGHTNING BOX has enjoyed a major surge in global growth following its acquisition.

Since joining the Light & Wonder family in August 2021, the studio has benefited from the Company’s superior expertise and commercial support, and has experienced year-on-year growth of 57 per cent while continuing to deliver its signature top-quality, land-based inspired entertainment to players around the world. In addition, August 2022 was Lightning Box’s biggest ever month in terms of revenues.

The Sydney-based supplier’s slot LIGHTNING SHENLONG entertainment platform, while LIGHTNING GORILLA – soon to be launched in Pennsylvania – has proven to be particularly popular in the U.S., sitting inside the top 20.

Light & Wonder’s dominance in the U.S. and Canadian online gaming market is underlined by the presence of three of its titles within the top 10 of the EGR North America slots rankings for July 2022, with Lightning Box’s CHICKEN FOX a new entry in the chart.

In addition, the LIGHTNING RESPIN and STELLAR CASH.

Lightning Box is currently live with more than 50 of the leading U.S. and European operators, including BetMGM, Golden Nugget, Hard Rock Casino, FanDuel, Resorts Casino, BCLC, Loto-Québec, OLG, Sky Bet, LeoVegas, William Hill, Betsson and many more, and releases up to 12 new titles every year through OpenGaming.

Peter Causley, CEO and co-founder of Lightning Box, said: “We knew that by joining Light & Wonder we would be able to drive forward with our ambitious plans, but even given the huge global power of the Company, the speed at which we have flourished has taken us aback. Our games continue to hit new heights of popularity around the world and we can’t wait to release new hits to penetrate U.S., Canadian and European markets even further.”

Dylan Slaney, CEO iGaming at Light & Wonder, said: “The team at Lightning Box has a wealth of industry experience that they have put to great use in producing some fantastic content that really resonates with players who enjoy land-based titles. The numbers that have been produced in the first 12 months after the acquisition speak for themselves and prove it was the right decision to bring Lightning Box into the Light & Wonder family. We look forward to breaking more records together in the months and years to come.”

Be #GiftSmart: Scratch the Idea of Gifting Scratch & Win Tickets to Kids

BCLC reminds adults to gift responsibly this holiday season

With the holiday season in full swing, BCLC is reminding British Columbians to gift responsibly and scratch lottery products from their shopping lists for kids.

“Scratch & Win tickets can make great stocking stuffers for the adults in your life, but they’re not for kids,” said Ryan McCarthy, BCLC’s Director of Player Health. “The research shows that children who have early encounters with gambling are four times more likely to develop riskier gambling behaviour as they grow up. While people are out shopping for those last-minute gifts, BCLC wants adults to be aware of the potential risks associated with gifting lottery products to children and to consider safer alternatives.”

While Scratch & Win tickets are among the most common ways kids can be introduced to gambling, children are increasingly exposed to various online forms, such as gambling streams.

“With the convergence of gaming and gambling, youth are becoming more exposed to gambling content in online spaces like streaming sites, where creators are able to live-stream their own gambling, usually while playing online slots and instant games,” said Dr. Luke Clark, Director for Gambling Research at UBC. “Our research at the UBC Centre for Gambling shows that a higher frequency of watching online gambling streams is associated with a more positive attitude towards gambling and a high intention to gamble in the future.”

In B.C., it is illegal to sell lottery products to anyone under the age of 19 and BCLC encourages adults to have conversations with the kids in their lives about the risks associated with gambling.

“Open and honest conversations are crucial when it comes to navigating childhood exposure to gambling,” said McCarthy, who shared the following tips to adults:

  • Monitor for gambling-related lifestyle changes. For example, developing a positive attitude towards gambling or a preoccupation with video games or streaming sites.
  • Be a positive role model. Exhibit safer gambling behaviour and talk about the risks.
  • Limit exposure. Monitor kids’ online activities and discourage engagement with gambling content. Explain how gambling is based on chance.
