Dylan Slaney, Light & Wonder iGaming CEO, has announced via Linkedin that he will be stepping down from his role after seven years with the supplier.
Slaney was appointed as iGaming CEO of Light & Wonder in 2021, after stepping in as SVP of Gaming for Scientific Games Digital – a Light & Wonder-operated brand following the NYX acquisition in 2018. During his tenure, Slaney worked underneath group CEO Matt Wilson, playing his role in large-scale change both within the company and the wider industry.
As quoted in his Linkedin post, Slaney said, “It’s been an incredible journey leading this business over the past seven years, and I’m immensely proud of what we’ve accomplished together. Thank you to Light & Wonder for putting your trust in me as CEO and for the support to invest and grow the iGaming business.
“To the team at Light & Wonder – iGaming, your dedication, passion and relentless ‘never settle’ drive inspired me every day. I am confident that the best is yet to come for you and the business you have created. Thank you for the belief. Thank you for the memories.”

Despite not specifying any future employment plans, Slaney also stated that he is “looking forward to writing the next chapter.”
This latest announcement comes hot on the heels of Light & Wonder’s Q3 2024 financial results, which were released last week and revealed a 12% year-over-year consolidated revenue rise of $817m for the quarter.
Net income fell by 20% year-over-year, despite an adjusted EBITDA rise of 11.5% from the prior year period. Earlier this month, the company also agreed to a new seven-year deal with SkyCity Entertainment, alongside entering a new multi-year partnership with Sky Dancer Casino.
