?? Who are Light & Wonder?

Light & Wonder (formerly SG Digital) is a software developer based in Las Vegas, Nevada. It launched as part of a rebranding in 2018, when SG Interactive merged with NYX Gaming. The company isn’t confined to one gambling hotspot, having offices across the globe, employing over 1,600 people. Light & Wonder commands an impressive share of the iGaming industry, though it helps they’ve acquired studios such as WMS, Bally, Shuffle Master, and NextGen Gaming over the years. In 2022, the company made a full rebrand, changing its name from SG Digital to Light & Wonder.

Speaking of years, Scientific Games originally started in the 1940s, producing pinball machines before turning their attention to physical slot machines. They now provide an array of gambling entertainment, including sports betting, iLottery, and digital gaming.

Light & Wonder, directly or indirectly through their acquired studios, has produced a wide variety of slots ranging from wildlife (Raging Rhino Megaways) to Asian (Jin Ji Bao Xi). You’ll also find a number of online slots converted from their physical counterparts, such as the iconic Rainbow Riches series. Light & Wonder has even dipped their finger into the branded slot category, and players can blast the hit TV show Friends across the reels, for example.

While perhaps not known for being hugely innovative, Light & Wonder nevertheless creates slots that perform fairly in the way stated on the tin. RTP, for one, typically hovers around 95-96% or higher, while math models come in all shapes and forms. Ultimate peace of mind gambling is provided by the company’s list of licenses from the top regulars such as the MGA, UKGC, Commission of the Isle of Man, and Spelinspektionen - amongst others.
