Barry Healey, product manager at Light & Wonder, details how proven Kascada cabinets and a diverse mix of blockbuster titles, from Dracula to Squid Game, are combining to drive performance, engagement and long-term operator value across the company’s latest line-up.
Coinslot: As operators arrive at the show, what are the key products you’re placing front and centre on your stand?
Barry Healey: Here at Light & Wonder, we are all about the games and this year at EAG is no exception.
We will have the full line-up of available titles from the hugely successful Dracula to the newly released Squid Game, alongside the old favourites Black Knight and Rainbow Riches. We have an exciting roadmap of games coming in 2026, commencing with our January title Rainbow Riches Loco Motion Treasure Train – one to get on board with!
We will be showcasing our content on the latest hardware with both Kascada upright and Kascada Slant Top cabinets available to experience. Since their UK launch two years ago, they have become well established performance leaders bringing a high-quality playing experience combined with operator reliability.
We will also have our ever-popular T8 Mk8i cabinets on the stand with the full library of Cat C and B4 titles. Kicking off January 2026 with the new game release Action Bank, we will also have an expanding library of new games to entertain and enthral players.
Coinslot: Looking back over the past year, which titles and cabinets have really stood out in venue performance?
Barry Healey: Last year our game releases saw incredible success, such as the Universal Monster brand follow-on to Frankenstein – Dracula.
Our old friend Leppy lit up the cabinets with Rainbow Riches Blazing Lock and our huge global brand Huff n More Puff really blew the competition away with phenomenal performance across all channels. On the Cat C front, we saw several strong releases including Rainbow Riches Let’s Go Party complemented by Rocky Community and Haunted House Party, all top performers.
Our cabinet portfolio has complemented our strong content, bringing the games to life and ensuring players and operators have a smooth, engaging experience.
The repeat purchasing from operators gives perhaps the clearest indication of performance – operators can clearly see the value Light & Wonder products deliver.
Coinslot: What can operators expect to see in terms of new content, launches or strategic developments over the coming months?
Barry Healey: You can expect 2026 to be another phenomenal year from Light & Wonder studios.
We will be revisiting some of our most popular classic brands so watch out for the old favourites with a twist, and we will be introducing another highly successful global brand into the UK market and keep an eye out for the Big Bad Wolf. We are confident 2026 will blow you away.
Coinslot: From a wider business perspective, are there particular markets or sectors you’re targeting for further growth?
Barry Healey: As a global company we are constantly assessing new market openings and opportunities across the retail, igaming and charitable gaming space. Closer to home we are concentrating on delivering the best experience for our customers whilst exceeding the players’ expectations.
Keep an eye out
