Light & Wonder Showcases Pioneering New WONDER 500™ Product Exclusively With Sky Betting & Gaming
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.”

The $10 Million NLH and $2 Million PLO events start Sunday, April 13th, with top prizes projected at $1 million and $400,000 respectively
The countdown is on as ACR Poker’s flagship Dual Venom tournaments take center stage in just five days, boasting $12 million in guaranteed prize pools and spotlighting two major events: the $10 million NLH and $2 million PLO.

The $10 Million NLH Venom starts with the first of five Day 1s this Sunday. Day 1 survivors will return for Day 2 on Monday, April 28th, and if they advance, continue to Day 3 on Tuesday. Day 3 survivors will compete for the Venom NLH title at the Final Table on Wednesday, April 30th at 4:05pm ET. With a $2,650 buy-in, the champion is set to win an estimated $1 million.
Meanwhile, the $2 Million PLO event spans three days and features a 6-max format. Also offering five Day 1 flights starting this Sunday, this tournament ties as the largest PLO event in ACR Poker’s history. The PLO champion is projected to win a top prize of $400,000, and players have the option to enter multiple Day 1s to build their stack heading into Day 2.
“We’ve all dreamed of that deep run in a big tourney. The best part about the Venom is anyone can take that shot,” said ACR Pro Chris Moneymaker. “Whether you buy-in directly or satellite in for a few bucks, NLH and PLO players are in for huge prize pools, great structure, and big poker action.”
For players still looking to lock in their Venom entry, ACR Poker is awarding over 1,000 seats through Venom Fever Satellites, with qualifiers starting at $0. The Beast, Venom Madness, Direct and Mega Satellites offer players affordable routes into both headline tournaments. Additional opportunities include the Venom Vault, which has already awarded over $150,000 in prizes and 22 X $2,650 seats.
