Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries, “Light & Wonder,” “L&W” or the “Company”) has successfully taken its content live in Argentina for the first time through Betsson Group, the leading global betting operator with more than 60 years of experience in the industry, as an important part of their customers’ entertainment mix.
The launch means players in the Province of Buenos Aires can now enjoy first-party games including 88 FORTUNES™, Light & Wonder’s top-performing land-based title in Argentina, through Betsson Group’s brand betsson.bet.ar.
The go-live follows a recently extended agreement between the two long-established companies to bring Light & Wonder content to fresh regulated markets worldwide.

Tatiana García Barrenechea, Commercial Director – LATAM, at Light & Wonder, said: “Betsson Group is a very significant partner, one that has consistently demonstrated its dedication to excellence during an alliance that has grown successfully over the long-term.
“This debut launch in Argentina is a significant step in our expanded relationship and we are delighted to be able to grow together in this important country, serving players with relevant and highly engaging casino content.”
