Equipping partner studios with the means to succeed

To ensure the success of Bang Bang Games, the studio is a part of the Light & Wonder Spark program, which focuses on providing developers with the tools, expertise, and market access they would need to thrive.

Light & Wonder is seemingly doubling down on the slot category, as the company confirmed earlier this year that it would be divesting from the live casino sector vertical.
