Based on the widely acclaimed and most-popular Netflix series of all time, “Squid Game,” the theme of the new Light & Wonder slot machine seamlessly integrates games from the show such as Red Light, Green Light, Tug of War, and The Glass Tile.

The iconic theme will make its global debut on Light & Wonder’s new large-screen jumbo cabinet, Horizon. The visually impactful machine is the next evolution of Light & Wonder’s Jumbo cabinet and features a 75-inch screen with 600,000 individual micro-LED pixels taking the display area to 90 inches. The cabinet also offers a large transparent i-deck with integrated lighting, 27-inch touch screen, mobile charger, and dual play buttons for an immersive player experience.

The company will also introduce a digital adaption of the theme, featuring three bonus rounds inspired by the games from the series. This launch further cements Light & Wonder’s position as a cross-platform global games company, delivering engaging content to players of all types.

“Light & Wonder is the first slot gaming company in the industry to partner with Netflix’s ‘Squid Game’ and bring this groundbreaking show to life on multiple casino gaming platforms,” said Matt Wilson, Light & Wonder Chief Executive Officer. “We’ve seen how combining fan-favorite shows with immersive gameplay can resonate with audiences both digitally and on casino floors. Unveiling this game on our Horizon cabinet makes for an unparalleled player experience.”

G2E attendees can stop by Light & Wonder’s booth #1116 to experience Squid Game slots and get a firsthand look at the forthcoming digital version of the title. Squid Game is expected to hit casino floors in 2024.
