LAS VEGAS – December 17, 2024 - (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries “Light & Wonder,” “L&W” or the “Company”) today announced it was selected by Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), the innovator in global cruise travel, to bring Operator Wide Area Progressive (OWAP) table games to its 18-ship fleet. This includes 200 GM ATLAS™ systems featuring jackpot progressives, as well as blackjack and poker derivatives, to provide exciting and enhanced gaming experiences for all types of travelers.
“We take pride in delivering exciting gaming experiences that resonate with players, whether on land or at sea,” said Niaz Nejad, Managing Director - Americas, Gaming at Light & Wonder. “We’re excited to collaborate with Norwegian Cruise Line to launch its first OWAP table games network. By connecting our industry-leading GM Atlas progressives across their extensive fleet, we’re bringing the excitement of gaming to NCL’s guests at sea.”
L&W OWAP technology will enable NCL to link gaming titles across multiple vessels through a centralized network, keeping them under the same umbrella. This solution is designed to enhance excitement at gaming tables and boost participation in progressive jackpots.
