Light & Wonder on Monday announced it will unveil a lineup of next-generation gaming experiences at ICE 2026 in Barcelona, Spain, January 19–21. The company will spotlight slot innovations, advanced table and systems technology, and a powerful igaming roadmap.
ICE 2026 will mark the launch of the Light & Wonder’s multi-game solution, Reel Choice, bringing flexibility, regional customization, and premium progressive integration to European gaming floors. Designed to meet the distinct needs of the EMEA market, Reel Choice delivers a modular, market-specific platform that empowers operators to curate tailored content bundles without compromising performance.
The Reel Choice solution will debut with four curated bundles, each built around regional tastes and player profiles across Europe. For the first time, operators can layer two of Light & Wonder’s top-performing multi-level progressives Jin Ji Bao Xi and Lion Link on top of any Reel Choice bundle, enabling premium MLP performance within a multi-game library. The platform blends global hits, proven U.K. performers, and newly developed titles for Eastern Europe, enhanced with side-game mechanics that raise entertainment value and winning potential.
“Our focus for ICE 2026 is to show how Light & Wonder is accelerating momentum across every part of our business,” Light & Wonder President and CEO Matt Wilson said in a statement. “The Reel Choice solution is a standout example of how we’re listening to our customers and designing localized solutions backed by the strength of our global franchises. Together with our expanded cabinet lineup, new table progressives, and digital innovations, we’re delivering a more connected, player-centric experience that continues to set us apart across Europe and beyond.”
Light & Wonder will boost slot momentum with a robust content roadmap showcased across the Cosmic cabinet family, including the regional debut of the next-generation Cosmic Dual cabinet.
