The former Scientific Games Corp., now doing business as Light & Wonder, announced it is adding content from Konami Gaming, Inc. to its OpenGaming iGaming platform under a new aggregation partnership.
The deal will see a wide selection of the iconic gaming developer’s online portfolio arrive on the OpenGaming platform, meaning operator customers in regulated markets across the U.S. will gain access to a host of classic Konami fan favorites.
Barstool Sports players in Michigan and Pennsylvania, along with Golden Nugget customers in New Jersey, are among the first to have access to Konami slots such as Adorned Peacock, China Shores and Astronomical Magic.
This partnership serves as a major statement of intent for the recently rebranded organization, as it strengthens its position as the leading cross-platform gaming company in the world.
“This landmark aggregation deal is a huge moment for Light & Wonder in the United States,” said Steve Mayes, partnership director at Light & Wonder. “It’s no secret that Konami is one of the biggest providers of quality omnichannel content, and its offering is truly second to none. We’re absolutely thrilled to be able to offer OpenGaming customers its incredible portfolio of slots and confident they’ll prove hugely popular with players across multiple states.”
“Our team is excited for the launch of this partnership, particularly after the recent rebrand of Light & Wonder and the ongoing growth of the iGaming sector,” said Megan Wolkoff, director, online product at Konami Gaming, Inc.
“The audience reach that OpenGaming provides is hugely appealing, and means our immersive content can be accessible to even more players. We’re happy to see our games live already via OpenGaming and look forward to a fruitful partnership with Light & Wonder.”
The OpenGaming ecosystem delivers more than 2,500 games from a global network of in-house and third-party game studios with ease of integration that is robust and secure.
