Light & Wonder Enters into Distribution Agreement with ReelPlay Delivering Games to BCLC for the First Time
Hypernova Megaways the first of a number of scheduled ReelPlay deployments to BCLC
Light & Wonder Incorporated (NASDAQ: LNW) has agreed to a new deal with ReelPlay to deliver its games to British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) for the first time.
ReelPlay’s global smash Hypernova Megaways is the first game launched and will be followed by more content as the agreement expands into new regulated markets.
ReelPlay debuted Hypernova Megaways in Europe in 2018 and added to the franchise with successful follow-ups Atlantis Megaways and Big Bucks Bandit Megaways. With slot games widely licensed across regulated operators globally, ReelPlay has since launched its Infinity Reels series of games and, most recently, 10K Ways, which debuted with the hit 10,000 Wonders 10K Ways.
The deployment extension into BCLC demonstrates Light & Wonder Incorporated’s support of independent studios such as ReelPlay.
“Having worked closely with ReelPlay for many years, we fully expect their extended distribution into BCLC to be a success for all parties and look forward to future ReelPlay releases across our network,” Digital Partnerships Director for Light & Wonder Incorporated, Steve Mayes, said.
“Hypernova Megaways is one of the top-performing slot games across the regulated North American markets,” Chief Executive Officer for ReelPlay, David Johnson, said. “Proudly first to market with innovative and inspirational concepts, ReelPlay is very excited to see the game arrive in another regulated market via our partners at Light & Wonder Incorporated and expect the tri-party relationship to really flourish after this debut release.”
