LAS VEGAS – July 2, 2026– Light & Wonder, Inc. (ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries “Light & Wonder,” “L&W” or the “Company”) today announced the installation of its OBSIDIAN Pod at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, marking the first-to-market deployment of the product in the state of Indiana.

The OBSIDIAN Pod is a sleek, modular automated roulette solution featuring 27” HD monitors and dynamic LED lighting, available in six and eight-seat configurations. The pod offers players three engaging roulette titles: Roulette, ROULETTEX®, and the progressive POWERX® Roulette. Each title is supported by enhanced trend displays, racetrack views, and elevated game statistics.

"Indiana represents another important milestone in the North American rollout of the OBSIDIAN Pod, and we are thrilled to bring this first-to-market experience to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, said Jon Hanlin, President, Global Tables at Light & Wonder. “The response from operators has been tremendous, and this installation is a reflection of the growing demand for innovative, player-focused automated roulette solutions.”

The addition of the OBSIDIAN Pod to the casino floor introduces players to a modern, immersive automated roulette experience that combines the excitement of live action play with the operational efficiency and security advantages that fully automated platforms provide operators.

"We are excited to be the first casino in Indiana to offer the OBSIDIAN Pod and to bring this innovative experience to our guests,” said Michael Gaudreau, Vice President of Casino Operations at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana. “The addition of the RouletteX offering and progressive jackpot adds a level of excitement we haven’t seen before, and early guest feedback has been extremely positive.”
