South Africa.- Online gaming supplier Incentive Games<\/strong> has entered into a content agreement with American gaming company and content provider Light & Wonder, Inc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the partnership, Incentive Games will leverage Light & Wonder\u2019s extensive operator network to introduce its pay-to-play games across several regulated markets, including South Africa, the USA, Canada and Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In South Africa, Incentive Games\u2019 content will be exclusively available on Hollywoodbets<\/strong>, an operator Light & Wonder partnered with in December 2023<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deal will also see Light & Wonder feature Incentive Games\u2019 free-to-play titles on its marketplace, further expanding its reach to more players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senior director of partners at Light & Wonder, Steve Mayes<\/strong>, said: \u201cWe are excited to work with Incentive Games, a leader in gamification solutions. We look forward to leveraging their innovative platform and bringing their customisable crash and fast game content to all major regulated markets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By joining forces, the two industry giants will harness their collective strengths to create immersive gaming experiences and boost player engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ahmed Baker<\/strong>, chief commercial officer at Incentive Games, said: \u201cThis agreement is a landmark moment in our company\u2019s history. Previously, we\u2019ve worked directly with major operators such as bet365, FanDuel, and Sky Bet. Now, we can distribute our games via Light & Wonder, an exceptional aggregator that we trust will handle our games with care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
