Studio signs agreement to utilize Light & Wonder’s newly acquired Playzido Remote Gaming Server platform in order to bring exceptional branded titles to global markets

LAS VEGAS – February 8, 2023 – Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries, “Light & Wonder”) has further enhanced its OpenGaming content portfolio with the exclusive addition of game studio Atlantic Digital, who will now team up with the Playzido Remote Gaming Server (“RGS”) platform to deliver a range of new games based on classic film and TV titles.

Atlantic Digital has secured the gaming rights to a host of well-known, and soon-to-be announced brands, with games launching via OpenGaming from Spring 2023 onwards.

Atlantic Digital will release a series of games developed using Playzido’s proprietary RGS platform. Owned by Light & Wonder, Plazido’s rapid game development capabilities coupled with the global distribution of Light & Wonder’s OpenGaming platform are attracting the most exciting new studios in the market.

As the latest exclusive and high-quality addition to OpenGaming, Atlantic Digital’s content will be made available to players through Light & Wonder’s global network of operators. The agreement represents the latest step in cementing OpenGaming as one of the world’s leading digital casino ecosystems.

Sam Hobcraft, Managing Director at Atlantic Digital, said: “The combination of Light & Wonder alongside Playzido is the perfect platform solution for Atlantic Digital to drive the distribution of our premium branded games on a global level. We’re able to build games quickly and efficiently via the super-professional team at Playzido, but even more importantly, we’re now able to access the biggest operators on both sides of the Atlantic. We are looking forward to an excellent relationship in the years ahead”

Steve Mayes, Digital Partnerships Director at Light & Wonder, said: “The team at Atlantic Digital has a proven track record in the industry and they bring with them fantastic possibilities given the wide range of brand rights that they have secured.”

“Branded game creation is undeniably difficult to perfect, but we’re already delighted to see the level of skill, effort and attention that Atlantic Digital are investing into their games. This is an agreement that will accelerate the growth of Atlantic Digital while providing OpenGaming partners with a stream of recognisable and high-quality content to distribute to players.”
