An announcement from Light & Wonder, Inc. Shs Chess Depository Interests Repr 1 Sh ( (AU:LNW) ) is now available.

Light & Wonder and Aristocrat Leisure have reached a settlement resolving their litigation in Australia and the United States over claims that Light & Wonder’s Dragon Train and Jewel of the Dragon games were developed using Aristocrat’s trade secrets and copyrighted materials. Under the confidential settlement framework, Light & Wonder will pay Aristocrat USD $127.5 million, permanently cease commercialization of the two contested games worldwide and use best efforts to remove existing installations, discontinue any further use of Aristocrat’s proprietary math and related copyright works, and destroy all materials reflecting that information. The companies have also agreed to confidential procedures to address potential use of Aristocrat’s math in certain existing and in‑development Light & Wonder hold‑and‑spin games, while Aristocrat’s claims in both jurisdictions will be dismissed. Both parties underscored the importance of protecting intellectual property and confidential game math to safeguard innovation and ensure fair competition in the global gaming industry, with implications for how game developers handle proprietary design elements going forward.
