Light & Wonder purchases a 20% ownership in Bang Bang Games.

Bang Bang Games and Light & Wonder have been collaborating for a while, with Light & Wonder aiding Bang Bang Games in expanding its reach to larger audiences, particularly in North American markets. Similarly, Bang Bang Games has gained recognition in Europe and the United Kingdom by showcasing its ambitious portfolio with several leading operators.

The announcement was warmly received by Frank McPolin, CEO of Bang Bang Games, who expressed his enthusiasm about advancing their collaboration with Light & Wonder to the next logical phase. Participating in the Light & Wonder™ Spark program has already provided us with tremendous opportunities, and this investment strongly validates our efforts, McPolin stated. With the support of Light & Wonder, we are well-positioned to continue building momentum, expand our reach, and offer even more innovative and creative content to players worldwide. Stuart Banks, head of Global Partnerships, iGaming at Light & Wonder, shared this enthusiasm. He was pleased with the opportunity not only to facilitate distribution for the studio but also to secure a stake in the company.

To support the success of Bang Bang Games, the studio participates in the Light & Wonder Spark program. This initiative is dedicated to providing developers with the necessary tools, expertise, and market access for their growth and success. Light & Wonder appears to be increasing its focus on the slot game category. Earlier this year, the company announced its decision to exit the live casino sector.
