Light & Wonder celebrated its office relocation and expansion in Sliema, Malta.
The supplier’s investment will support its continued growth in the iGaming sector across EMEA and beyond.
The expansion will help support and expand its teams, talent acquisition and enhanced operational capabilities in Malta.
The office opening was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by multiple senior-ranking staff, including, Simon Johnson, CEO of Light & Wonder, iGaming, Ivan Filletti, CEO of GamingMalta and representatives from GamingMalta, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), and Light & Wonder customers and partner studios.
“Expanding our presence in Malta reflects our continued investment in regulated iGaming markets and in the talent that supports our global growth,” said Simon Johnson.
“This continued investment and expansion by a global leader like Light & Wonder reflects the ambition of Vision 2050, Malta’s national long-term strategy, which positions gaming as a key pillar for sustainable growth, talent development and innovation,” said Ivan Filletti, CEO of GamingMalta.
Light & Wonder was awarded a 10-year contract by the Illinois Gaming Board
Further expanding its leadership and personnel, Light & Wonder appointed Lauren Bates as General Manager for Canada recently.
Malta currently serves as a scaled operational hub for Light & Wonder’s iGaming business and assists its teams across technology, product, compliance and commercial functionality.
“Seeing Light & Wonder expand its operations in Malta is the kind of result we strive for through our economic vision and the policies we continue to implement,” said Minister for the Economy, Enterprise, and Strategic Projects, Silvio Schembri.
Light & Wonder has been operating out of the Central North Business Centre in Sliema, Malta since 2024
