Light & Wonder surges to top of Canada iGaming supplier charts
Eilers and Krejcik's latest report shows significant movement
Light & Wonder was the top online gaming supplier in Canada in September ahead of IGT and Evolution, according to the latest Eilers and Krejcik report.
September’s Eilers-Fantini report, which assessed genuine online casino sites and more than 10,600 games, found that Light & Wonder stole the top spot with a 16.6% share of theoretical win, eclipsing IGT’s 15.9% and Evolution’s 12.1%.
That’s despite the fact that it did not have a single game in the top 10 titles by GGR share.
IGT’s Cash Eruption retained its status as Canada’s top game with a 2.09% GGR share, more than double the share of the second-placed game, fellow IGT title Cleopatra (1.02%). Everi’s Cash Machine title rose two places month-over-month to third with 0.9%, leapfrogging Evolution’s Live Dealer Roulette (0.83%).
Light & Wonder had placed fourth behind IGT, Evolution and Games Global in August’s report. In September, Games Global ranked fourth and Pragmatic Play rounded out the top five suppliers by percentage of theoretical win.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., Evolution and IGT kept their places as the top two brands in the supplier charts, although both saw their share of GGR drop for the second month in a row. Light & Wonder gained 0.1% in third.
Light & Wonder continues to shine in Canada
Light & Wonder has struck a couple of notable deals in the Canadian market in 2024.
Back in April, Bragg Gaming Group announced it had signed an international online casino content distribution agreement with the company.
The Toronto-based B2B gaming technology and content provider’s games are now available on Light & Wonder’s platforms, as are top-performing titles from Bragg’s leading in-house brands such as Atomic Slot Lab, Indigo Magic, Wild Streak Gaming and Spin Games. Exclusive content, including localized titles, from its Powered by Bragg partners will also be integrated.
The deal spans not just Canada but also the U.S. and several European regulated markets.
And then, just last week, Loto-Québec launched the first cross-platform mystery jackpot using Light & Wonder’s new cross-platform technology.
The progressive, named SUPER CAGNOTTE, is part of a new offering from Light & Wonder that offers a white-label solution to support cross-platform mystery progressives across land-based gaming machines and iGaming platforms, creating a unified experience across both gaming channels.
