Ep 384: New Light & Wonder lawsuit and Isle of Man 'POGO's' off Philippines exodus

iGaming Daily

Last week, Light & Wonder voluntarily withdrew its lawsuit against Zeroo Gravity Games over a copyright issue related to the latter’s Three Stuffed Swine game.

On the latest episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, Joe Streeter, Editor of CasinoBeats, is joined by Danny Lee, Senior Journalist for SlotBeats, who delve deeper into the case against the California-based supplier.

They discuss why Light & Wonder pulled the case, if this can set a precedent for companies resolving copyright issues outside of courts and consider whether it will force developers to boost innovation to avoid similar problems.

They also touch on the latest in Light & Wonder’s legal battle against Aristocrat, as the company has vowed to produce a “Dragon Train 2.0” due to a court finding infringements in the maths behind its original cabinet.

After the break, the show's attention shifts to the Philippines. The country has made efforts to eradicate its offshore gambling sector which could be welcomed by the Isle of Man, as reports suggest the crown dependency is considering the impact of embracing new operators from the market.
