Key Moments:
- Gaming Realms has extended its licensing agreement with Light & Wonder to develop Slingo versions of 88 FORTUNES™ and HUFF N’ MORE PUFF™.
- The agreement includes an option to license a third game for Slingo adaptation.
- Slingo Gold Fish, released September 23rd, was the product of a previous collaboration between the two companies in 2024.
Overview of the Extended Partnership
Gaming Realms has announced the continuation of its collaboration with Light & Wonder, Inc., under an expanded licensing deal that will bring two celebrated titles, 88 FORTUNES™ and HUFF N’ MORE PUFF™, into the Slingo universe. With a significant following in North America, both original games and the Slingo brand have established a solid base of dedicated players, and these new adaptations aim to offer fresh experiences to fans of the franchises.
Details of the New Agreement
Under the terms of the extended cooperation, Gaming Realms will create Slingo versions of both 88 FORTUNES™ and HUFF N’ MORE PUFF™, enhancing the existing portfolio with innovative cross-brand gameplay. The agreement also includes a provision allowing for a third title from Light & Wonder to be licensed for Slingo treatment in the future. All games produced as a result of this partnership will be accessible to Gaming Realms’ international operator partners.
Previous Collaboration Set the Stage
This new agreement builds on the companies’ prior licensing arrangement from 2024, which granted Gaming Realms access to Light & Wonder’s GOLD FISH™ intellectual property. The collaboration led to the development and September 23rd launch of Slingo Gold Fish, which merged the popular elements of both franchises in a unique underwater-themed title.
