Light & Wonder partners with PlayJeux

Light & Wonder, Inc. has enhanced its OPENGAMING aggregation platform with the exclusive addition of multiplayer platform provider and game supplier PLAYJEUX STUDIOS.

The Canadian studio’s games are designed to look, feel and play the same as they would in a casino, featuring single, multi-level, must-hit and community progressive jackpots. PlayJeux has incorporated a community-driven aspect to its games, allowing players to interact with friends through fun reactions, mini games, chat, and groups, while also providing gamification tools including avatars, achievements, tournaments, missions, and daily rewards.

The first PlayJeux games due to go live on OpenGaming initially are ROULETTE WHEEL OF THUNDER, BLACKJACK ROYAL POKER and BLACKJACK ROYAL PAIRS, with multiplayer content set to be rolled out in the coming months.

Sovanna Phan, CEO and co-founder at PlayJeux, said: “PlayJeux is bringing next-generation multiplayer games technology to the market, as a natural evolution positioned between live casino and single-player table games. PlayJeux’s multiplayer ecosystem allows multiple players to play, chat, and share an authentic casino experience on the same interactive game, whether it is slots or table games. By adding jackpots, side bets, and gamification features, we are aiming to redefine iGaming players’ enjoyment.”

Steve Mayes, digital partnerships director at Light & Wonder, added: “The PlayJeux team has put together a really fresh take on the multiplayer experience with its platform solution and we look forward to rolling games out in markets worldwide. Our mission as a company is to bring new worlds of play to our customers and PlayJeux’s innovative solution fits that bill perfectly. We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership.”
