Visitors of G2E will be able to experience the new Squid Game slot at booth #1116. Moreover, they will be able to receive more information regarding the game’s online version. According to Light & Wonder, the Squid Game slot is expected to mark its debut in casinos next year.

Matt Wilson, Light & Wonder’s CEO, revealed that the company is delighted to join forces with Netflix to help deliver the iconic series to the gaming vertical. Moreover, he acknowledged that Light & Wonder was the first gaming company to team up with Netflix for the famous series. “We’ve seen how combining fan-favorite shows with immersive gameplay can resonate with audiences both digitally and on casino floors,” he added. Finally, Wilson predicted that the HORIZON cabinet along with the new game will deliver unique and engaging experiences for the players.

“Light & Wonder is proud to be the first slots gaming company in the industry to partner with Netflix’s Squid Game and bring this ground-breaking show to life across multiple casino gaming platforms.“
