Ep 278: A 'sweep' over the Evolution and VGW lawsuits

We’re heading stateside in today’s episode of iGaming Daily as two of the US’ biggest iGaming suppliers have entered a legal battle over copycat game allegations. 

Evolution has filed a lawsuit against Light & Wonder with the Nevada District Court last week, where the former alleges Light & Wonder made use of IP related to its Lightning Roulette title, accessing maths files to create a, quote on quote, copycat game.

That will be the topic in the first half of today’s episode. Then in the second half, we’ll stick with the US courts, as we delve into a class action lawsuit filed against virtual gaming company VGW, where it questions the legality of social and sweepstake casino sites in Georgia. 

And joining host James Ross, to dig deeper into Evolution's lawsuit, is CasinoBeats & SlotBeats’ Senior Journalist, Danny Lee, with SBC Americas Editor, Jessica Welman, replacing Danny to go over all things sweepstakes and the Georgia lawsuit.
