“We are delighted to welcome Mark Yoseloff to Light & Wonder,” said Light & Wonder senior vice president of global table games Mike McKiski. “Mark’s exceptional track record and insights will be instrumental in steering our strategic initiatives and reinforces our commitment to delivering an elevated player experience.”
In addition to his strategic contributions, Mark will play a key role in the ideation of game design across all platforms, with particular focus on Felt-Based Table Games, Electronic Table Games and cross-platform content.
“I have been impressed by Light & Wonder’s management team and am thrilled to work with the team and contribute to the Company’s legacy of innovation within the gaming industry and the shuffler and utility space,” said Yoseloff. “Light & Wonder is continuously investing in innovations to enhance the player experience, and I’m looking forward to building on the foundation of current success to deliver groundbreaking solutions.”
The company will debut the first game created by Yoseloff at G2E Las Vegas next week, with Diamond Millions set to provide players with the chance to win a multi-million-dollar jackpot from a $5 bet.
