Calling the matter “an isolated incident,” the CEO of gaming equipment provider Light & Wonder said the company is quickly removing some 2,200 slot machines from casinos throughout the U.S. and Canada after a federal judge granted a preliminary injunction in a trade secrets claim by a rival slot maker.
In an unusual 4-minute video message that was posted to the company’s website late Thursday, CEO Matt Wilson said Las Vegas-based Light & Wonder was working with North American casino operators to convert the Dragon Train slot machines to another game in the company’s portfolio.
In a late September ruling, U.S. District Judge Gloria Navarro granted gaming equipment provider Aristocrat Technologies’ request for a preliminary injunction in a trade secrets claim against Light & Wonder regarding the company’s Dragon Train slot machine product.
