Light & Wonder to provide OWAP table games in Pennsylvania
Light & Wonder has reached an agreement to become the first provider of Operator Wide Area Progressive (OWAP) table games in Pennsylvania.
Across Penn Entertainment’s four Hollywood Casino properties in Pennsylvania, Light & Wonder has installed 79 tables – all of which are ready to play, pending customary regulatory approvals.
The properties involved are The Meadows, Penn National Race Course, Morgantown and York.
Meanwhile, Light & Wonder says its new technology ‘enables casino operators to link gaming titles across multiple properties using a centralised network, which keeps them under the same corporate umbrella.’
Siobhan Lane, CEO of Gaming at Light & Wonder, said of the deal: “We are excited to provide Pennsylvania and the PENN Entertainment organisation with their first OWAP table games network in Pennsylvania. This is great news for the gaming industry in Pennsylvania, as it opens the door for other operators to drive player excitement across their casino networks.”
Furthermore, Tony Frabbiele, VP and General Manager at Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course added: “We’re delighted that Light & Wonder has brought their dynamic OWAP technology to Penn Entertainment’s Hollywood Casinos in Pennsylvania, and appreciate the cooperation from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board in helping us offer these new products to our customers.
“We anticipate that players at our Pennsylvania properties will enjoy the added perks of Light & Wonder’s trusted networked solution and hope to expand the OWAP offering into other regions in the future.”
