Light & Wonder has earned a much-needed win in its ongoing legal battle with Aristocrat linked to its Dragon Train series, with the US District Court for the District of Nevada that the company does not need to disclose the math models behind its Hold N’ Spin game titles and that Aristocrat must detail any trade secrets it is looking to protect.
The court also ordered the two companies to meet and discuss its latest decision ahead of a trial scheduled to take place in 2026.
The decision sparked a jump in Light & Wonder’s share price, with multiple media outlets reporting that the company’s US-based stocks had surged by around 9.5% in afternoon trading. Shares on the ASX – Light & Wonder’s secondary listing – were up almost 13.5% at Wednesday close.
