Light & Wonder has announced new gaming system agreements and renewals with casino properties in New York and South Dakota.
The agreements include system replacements at Deadwood Gulch Gaming Resort in South Dakota and a competitive systems renewal and reinvestment with Seneca Gaming Corporation in New York.
“These wins demonstrate the breadth and flexibility of our systems portfolio and the trust our customers place in Light & Wonder as a strategic partner,” said Bob Parente, executive vice president & chief business development officer at Light & Wonder. “From competitive replacements to long-term reinvestments, we remain focused on delivering scalable, future-ready solutions that support our customers’ growth and operational goals.”
Following a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process, Seneca Resorts & Casinos selected Light & Wonder to continue as its gaming systems provider.
As part of the reinvestment, Seneca will modernize its systems environment with an expanded suite of Light & Wonder solutions, which will be implemented across the operator’s three gaming and entertainment resorts in New York: Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, Seneca Allegany Resort & Casino in Salamanca, and Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino in downtown Buffalo.
“Light & Wonder once again proved to be the right long-term systems partner for our Seneca Resorts & Casinos properties,” said Les Leonard, chief information officer for Seneca Resorts & Casinos. “Their ability to deliver a modern, integrated systems ecosystem combined with strong service and ongoing innovation positions us well to enhance player engagement and support our operational goals moving forward.”
In South Dakota, Deadwood Gulch Gaming Resort selected Light & Wonder to replace its existing gaming system as part of a broader property upgrade.
“As long-time hospitality owners and now the new owners of Deadwood Gulch, we are committed to upgrading the property and delivering an outstanding customer experience,” said Tijana Harper, co-owner of Deadwood Gulch Gaming Resort. “When looking for a new gaming system, we felt the Light & Wonder team fully understood our vision for the property and had the right products and people to make that vision a reality.”
