“We are so proud of the history of stepper talent and brands at Light & Wonder and are excited to show two new variations of our stepper product line at G2E. First will be the new Landmark Wheel product combining the top performing Triple Blazing 7s with Monopoly for the first time plus debuting a low denom Landmark Transparent cabinet that will provide a canvas to put some of our strongest core titles on such as Huff n Puff and 88 Fortunes into the mechanic reel segment.” – Nathan Drane, SVP Global Product Management, Light & Wonder
The stepper space is one Light & Wonder has proven to have well and truly mastered with the introduction of the Landmark 7000 cabinet last year. It has gone on to be held in high esteem by players and operators alike for its modern reminiscence of the classic Vegas feeling while playing host to swathes of impressive titles. Now, Light & Wonder is pushing that envelope further in two distinct directions.
The Landmark 7000 Monopoly Cash Wheel came to be by Light & Wonder taking the phenomenal cabinet core and working with one of their greatest game partners to be featured with it. Capitalizing on the appeal of a wheel aesthetic, Light & Wonder replaced the top box with a new, branded Monopoly wheel that pulls its roots from past Cash Wheel titles, capturing attention anywhere on the floor. Special filler art featuring Mr. Monopoly is displayed prominently. The cabinet will also be the first cabinet with a wheel to play host to Blazing 777 Triple Double Jackpot Wild and Blazing 777 2x3x5x.
On top of the progressions above, another newcomer, the Landmark 7000 Transparent cabinet, is bringing Landmark into a whole new light with an iDeck reminiscent of many of the company’s video slots, a new transparent LCD monitor surrounding the reels for a far more immersive play experience, and a new topper with added lighting that sets it apart from the original Landmark 7000.
Landmark 7000 games have traditionally also been high-denomination experiences with many games playing at $1 and a handful playing as low as 25¢. Transparent takes advantage of this opportunity to introduce low-denomination play to fans of Light & Wonder’s stepper experiences, offering many of the company’s widely-loved games to players of all kinds, regardless of their preferred format.
With these two new cabinet additions to the Landmark 7000 portfolio, Light & Wonder is making it clear that stepper play is still ripe for ways to change the player experience to ensure inclusion to everyone, no matter what kind of game they want to play.
