Lightning Box Continues Expansion in the US with the Connecticut Launch

The Australian-based iGaming provider, Lightning Box continues to spread its services in the United States by launching the slot game title, Lightning Horseman. This title launch happened in Connecticut and has received positive feedback from Connecticut punters.

Lightning Horseman’s launch was made possible by a renowned platform, OpenGaming. However, all this would not be possible without the inclusion of Scientific Games, Lightning Box’s partner.

Lightning Box Games in Connecticut

Connecticut joins four other jurisdictions in the United States with a Lightning Box presence. The other states include Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Lightning Box has a record for multi-channel supply of video slot games. Having established itself in Australia, Lightning Box hopes to penetrate more states in the US since it is among the best game providers in the market.

Lightning Box CEO Peter Causley, expresses delight at passing Connecticut legislation. This was a big move since most US states are still lagging in passing iGaming legislation. The go-ahead meant that Lighting Box had full operation in the Constitution state, Connecticut.

Scientific Games is Fully on Board

Peter Causley described Lightning Box’s acceptance in Connecticut as:

yet another piece to the jigsaw puzzle.”

He looks forward to future opportunities, which Connecticut promises to offer in leaps and bounds.

The vice president of game development at Scientific Games, Rob Procter, could not hold back his excitement either. He stated that his company is more than delighted to lend a working hand to Lightning Box. 

He termed this period as “an exciting time for Lightning Box” and continued to mention the potential popularity of Lightning Box’s celebrated titles. Such titles include Chicken Fox and Lightning Horseman. He predicts that these titles will be very popular among Connecticut’s iGaming circle.

Peter Causley vows to continue on the quest to expand Lightning Box across US jurisdictions. The gaming industry continues to grow as the country’s state legislators continue passing legislation. In no time, more states in the US will improve and alter their iGaming laws to accommodate Lightning Box.

The CEO of Lightning Box noted to a great extent that US bettors are huge fans of Lightning Box’s land-based offerings. The company’s online games sweeten the deal and Lightning Box is delighted to offer them in Connecticut.

The Influence of Scientific Games on iGaming Development

In the iGaming industry, working with industry giants helps push the envelop further. Scientific Games is a globally acknowledged name in gambling. The company has partnerships with other renowned companies in the industry.

At the beginning of January, for example, Scientific Games landed a deal with Wadzan. This partnership provided Scientific Games with a state-of-the-art collection of iGaming titles. This was a major deal for Scientific Games.

In February, the company proceeded to launch its offerings in Azerbaijan. This launch was made possible by partnering with the country’s national lottery. Such advances contribute towards the success of Scientific Games and Lightning Box in the gaming industry.
