Light & Wonder is launching its next-generation cabinet, Cosmic Dual, in ANZ, strengthening its position at the forefront of a dynamic regional gaming landscape.
After debuting as the number-one multi-screen cabinet in the March 2026 North American rankings by gambling research firm Eilers & Krejcik Gaming, Cosmic Dual’s launch in ANZ will support a growing pipeline of compelling titles tailored to local player preferences.
Titles showcased on Cosmic Dual will include new releases such as Jin Chan, an innovative new game series exclusive to Cosmic Dual, and Big Steam, another new marquee series tapping into the growing popularity of the secondary hold-and-spin category. Huff N’ Puff Rebuild adds another chapter to the ever-popular franchise, with Wolves Night Out, a new five-of-a-kind game offering, adding further depth to Light & Wonder’s ANZ portfolio.
Game development pipeline
Four domestic studios based in Light & Wonder’s Sydney headquarters, as well as four North American developer hubs among a global studio network, will fuel Cosmic Dual in ANZ with more than 45 new titles per year.
Many of Light & Wonder’s upcoming games are designed specifically for Cosmic Dual, leveraging the cabinet’s enhanced graphics and sound capabilities, as well as an improved player interface built around a 15.6-inch AR-1 iDeck LCD screen.

Committing to an innovative gaming region
Cosmic Dual’s launch in ANZ represents the latest step in Light & Wonder’s long-term roadmap for investment and development in one of gaming’s most innovative regions worldwide.
