Gaming Realms has announced a significant extension of its global licensing agreement with the industry giant Light & Wonder.
This renewed partnership will see Gaming Realms develop Slingo adaptations of two of Light & Wonder’s most iconic and popular slot titles: 88 FORTUNES™ and HUFF N’ MORE PUFF™.
The deal is a strategic move to capitalize on the strong brand recognition these games command, particularly in the North American market, where Gaming Realms’ own portfolio of Slingo titles has been met with considerable success.
By creating innovative Slingo iterations, the company aims to offer fans of the original slots a fresh and engaging way to experience their favorite themes, blending the familiar mechanics of the classic games with the unique slot-bingo hybrid gameplay that defines the Slingo genre.
The agreement also includes an option for a third Light & Wonder IP to be licensed for a Slingo adaptation in the future, signaling a deep and ongoing collaboration between the two firms.
This latest announcement builds upon a proven and successful partnership. In 2024, Gaming Realms initially signed a licensing deal to use Light & Wonder’s popular GOLD FISH™ IP.
That collaboration recently came to fruition with the release of Slingo Gold Fish on September 23, 2025, which has been well-received by players for its fun underwater adventure theme.
The success of previous adaptations has paved the way for this extended agreement, underscoring the commercial value of combining well-established slot brands with the innovative Slingo format.
As with previous collaborations, all new Slingo titles created under this partnership will be distributed across Gaming Realms’ extensive international network of operator partners, ensuring a wide global reach for the much-anticipated games.
Craig Falciglia, VP of North America at Gaming Realms, said:
Extending our successful collaboration with Light & Wonder with the opportunity to develop Slingo versions of iconic games like 88 Fortune and Huff n’ More Puff is incredibly exciting. These titles have a massive following, particularly in North America, and we are confident that our Slingo innovations will resonate strongly with their dedicated fan base, further strengthening our position in the US and Canada.
Rob Procter, VP Game Development at Light & Wonder, said:
Expanding our agreement with Gaming Realms is a testament to the success of our previous collaborations, including the upcoming release of Slingo Gold Fish. By licensing our iconic titles like 88 Fortunes and Huff n’ More Puff, we’re enabling Gaming Realms to create fresh, innovative experiences that will captivate our existing players while also attracting new audiences.
