Light & Wonder Wednesday announced that its Squid Game slot machine is now live on casino floors. The title made its world debut at Yaamava Resort & Casino at San Manuel, a tribal casino owned by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in Highland, California.

Based on the Netflix series, Squid Games integrates games from the show, such as Red Light, Green Light, Tug of War, and The Glass Tile.

The theme makes its global debut on Light & Wonder’s new large-screen jumbo cabinet, Horizon. The machine 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 Ideck with integrated lighting, a 27-inch touch screen, a mobile charger and dual play buttons.

“The introduction of the Squid Game slot machine is a testament to our commitment to delivering unique and engaging gaming experiences,” said Light & Wonder Chief Product Officer Nathan Drane in a statement. “By bringing such a culturally significant and widely recognized theme to our cutting-edge Horizon and Cosmic cabinets, we are offering players an unparalleled level of excitement and immersion, while giving our customers a truly innovative product.”

Light & Wonder also introduced a digital adaptation of the theme earlier this year.
