Light & Wonder has secured a contract with Norwegian Cruise Line to supply its Operator Wide Progressive (OWAP) table games.
The OWAP technology will allow Norwegian Cruise Line to link gaming titles across several vessels through a centralised network, boosting participation in progressive jackpots, with onboard titles including blackjack, three card poker, let it ride and ultimate Texas hold em’.
“We take pride in delivering exciting gaming experiences that resonate with players, whether on land or at sea,” said Niaz Nejad, gaming managing director for the Americas at Light & Wonder.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Norwegian Cruise Line to launch its first OWAP table games network. By connecting our industry-leading GM Atlas progressives across their extensive fleet, we’re bringing the excitement of gaming to NCL’s guests at sea.”
Ian Donald, VP of gaming operations at Norwegian Cruise Line, commented: “We are thrilled to work with Light & Wonder to introduce OWAP table games to our 18-ship fleet. This innovative technology allows us to link gaming experiences across our vessels, offering our guests even more excitement and the opportunity for larger payouts.”
