Dylan Slaney, CEO of Light & Wonder’s iGaming division, announced his resignation on Monday, sharing that the decision is “a personal choice in its purest form.”
Slaney, who has been with the company for over seven years, had led the iGaming division since October 2021, reporting directly to group CEO Matt Wilson. In a LinkedIn post on Nov. 18, he reflected on his tenure, stating:
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. To the team at Light & Wonder – iGaming, your dedication, passion, and relentless ‘never settle’ drive inspired me every day. I am confident the best is yet to come for you and the business you’ve created. Thank you for the belief and the memories. I’m proud and humbled to have had this opportunity and look forward to writing the next chapter.
Before his role at Light & Wonder, Slaney served as EVP of gaming at NYX Gaming Group, joining the company when NYX was acquired by Scientific Games (now Light & Wonder) in early 2018. He later became senior president of gaming at Scientific Games Digital, overseeing its evolution into Light & Wonder iGaming during the company’s 2022 rebrand.
A spokesperson for Light & Wonder praised Slaney’s contributions:
We’ve been on an incredible journey in our iGaming business over the last seven years, and we want to thank Dylan and the entire iGaming team for building the business into what it is today. We have unwavering faith in our current team’s ability to unlock even greater opportunities moving forward.
