As the casino industry continues to show resilience in its rebound from the pandemic, so too is the gaming equipment manufacturing sector.

No company may be showing more resiliency than Las Vegas-based Light &Wonder Inc., formerly Scientific Games Corp. In the past 18 months, the company has changed its name, strategic vision, board of directors, chairman and CEO.

“We’ve been on a radical transformation over the last 18 months,” said Light &Wonder Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Connie James in a recent interview. “We set out with a plan to really streamline our organization and fulfill this vision of being the leading cross-platform local games company. Historically, we were a holding organization with five different businesses which didn’t fit together, and now as we sit here today, having divested the sports business on Sept. 30, we have a collection of unique assets.”
