Gaming Math Models

Light & Wonder faces a setback in its legal battle with Aristocrat as a Nevada court granted Aristocrat’s motion for discovery of Light & Wonder’s “hold and spin” game math models released since 2021. Aristocrat alleges Light & Wonder may have incorporated its proprietary algorithms. Light & Wonder maintains confidence that no Aristocrat math was used beyond previously identified games. The outcome of the litigation, with discovery concluding in 2025 and 2026, could significantly impact game development and intellectual property rights within the gaming industry.
