In-house team develops innovative future-proofed solution to provide operators with high quality games with market focused features

Light & Wonder, Inc. 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 focusses, 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.”

DR Gaming Technology (DRGT) has appointed Stephane Henault – formerly of Light & Wonder, Scientific Games and Bally’s – as its new director of technical services.

The newly created role comes amid pending deals for DRG that will see it expand in Latin America and Africa.

“This is an important appointment for DRGT as we continue to scale our operations globally,” said company CEO Marco Herrera.

“Stephane brings a wealth of technical and operational experience, as well as a deep understanding of the evolving needs of casino operators. His expertise will be instrumental in further strengthening and streamlining the services we provide to our partners.”

“I see this opportunity as the perfect way for me to re-connect with operator partners directly, leveraging the experience gained over the last three decades working for both a start-up, and of late, a massive multinational, and to contribute in a very practical way to their day-to-day success,” said Henault.

“DRGT’s current growth trajectory presents an exciting challenge, particularly in ensuring that as the business expands, its technical service delivery remains efficient, scalable, and aligned with operator requirements.

“Being part of that journey and helping to build processes and structures that support it, is hugely motivating. Right now, I wake up every morning with a spring in my step – that’s special.”
