Light & Wonder Grows with Games Beyond Huff N' Puff

Light & Wonder said first-party games on the OpenGaming platform have recorded sequential growth in GGR amount for seven consecutive quarters. In the third quarter, eight of the top 10 games on the platform came from the company's own catalog. CEO Matt Wilson shared these figures on the third-quarter earnings call. The company's iGaming segment also increased its revenue by 13%.

Wilson stressed that the growth does not come only from the Huff N' Puff series. Desert Knights, the first game in the Ultimate Fire Link Triple Nova series, launched with FanDuel and is currently the third-ranked game on OGS. Elk Studios' Langley Street also got off to a strong start after being added to the platform.

OGS handled a record $31.7 billion in bets in the third quarter. That amount is 13% higher than the same period last year.

The company also sees its expansion in North America as one of its priorities. It aims to launch its first game in Florida before the end of the fourth quarter. The process is accelerating in Alberta, a market that opened in July. Wilson said other provinces are also considering legalizing iGaming and that the Canadian market will make a significant contribution in the future.

On the other hand, Wilson pointed to the UK gambling tax increase and said that after Brazil banned online games, the company suspended all of its content in Brazil.
