Via SciPlay Public Relations
SciPlay, the social games division of Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (together with its subsidiaries “Light & Wonder,” “L&W” or the “Company”), today announced it is the presenting sponsor of the Cedar Falls RAGBRAI® overnight stop on Thursday, July 24, welcoming over 30,000 riders to the city. This sponsorship highlights SciPlay’s deep Iowa roots and significant, ongoing investment in the region’s vibrant technology community.
For over 25 years, SciPlay has cultivated a substantial, unique presence in the Iowa tech landscape. As a global leader in mobile gaming with over 900 employees worldwide, SciPlay is actively expanding its Cedar Falls operations – a striking contrast to many tech companies currently consolidating. This continued presence with its headquarters in Cedar Falls powerfully underscores SciPlay’s deep connection to and belief in the strong talent pool and vibrant community of Iowa.
As RAGBRAI celebrates its fifth return to Cedar Falls, this year’s theme, “Ride the Wave”, highlights the city’s vibrant outdoor lifestyle and innovation-focused growth. For SciPlay, this event is a perfect opportunity to not only celebrate with the community but also to showcase its long-term commitment to building dynamic tech careers in Iowa. SciPlay recently unveiled a fully renovated 27,000-square-foot studio in Cedar Falls, a key part of its multi-million-dollar investment to expand its team and reinforce its strong presence in the region.
“With SciPlay’s deep roots in Cedar Falls, we’re thrilled to help power the energy of this incredible event and welcome riders with the same spark and joy we bring to millions of players around the world,” said Josh Wilson, CEO of SciPlay. “Our investment here is about people, culture, and building a future rooted in Iowa innovation. As someone originally from this area, and with many of our executives based here, we are deeply committed to fostering talent and contributing to the economic vitality of this region.”
SciPlay’s Cedar Falls studio is also home to the development of JACKPOT PARTY Casino Slots, the Company’s wildly successful free-to-play game that has surpassed 100 million downloads worldwide, a testament to the critical role this local team plays in developing games enjoyed by millions globally.
