A Success for All Parties Expected

Speaking about the new distribution agreement with the British Columbia Lottery Corporation, Steve Mayes, Digital Partnerships Director at Light & Wonder, revealed that after having worked with ReelPlay for many years he expects the deal with the Canadian company to become “ a success for all parties”.

Light & Wonder launched their OpenGaming ecosystem in 2019, acting both as a game aggregator and also as a player account management platform. During the past four years the aggregator got bigger and bigger and now it offers over 3,500 casino games. Moreover, it is regulated and certified in 34 jurisdictions in the United States of America.

David Johnson, the Chief Executive Officer of ReelPlay, acknowledged that Hypernova Megaways is “one of the top performing slot games” in the North American markets and declared himself “excited” to see the company’s content reach a new regulated jurisdiction.

The BCLC was established in 1985 and it is a government-owned company. It has 890 direct employees, while its service providers provide employment for an additional 8,300 people in the province. The company’s net income goes back to the provincial government in order to help provide funding for healthcare, education and community programs.
