In a press release issued on Thursday, Light & Wonder also announced the delivery of 180 Quartz cabinets to Mohegan Inspire. The firm said the deployment was the “largest Quartz stadium in the world”. The stadium features an array of games including Tiger Baccarat, roulette, and Casino War.

The press release additionally highlighted the installation by Light & Wonder of “more than 170 gaming machines” on Mohegan Inpire’s casino floor, including units of the Kascada Dual Screen and Kascada Portrait cabinets. Titles such as “Duo Fu Duo Cai Grand”, “Coin Combo”, and “Jin Ji Bao Xi Grand” were among the slot game offerings available.

Light & Wonder said it had the “largest floor share of gaming machines” at the property.

The Mohegan Inspire casino, located in Incheon, outside Seoul, opened on February 3, offering 150 table games, 390 slot machines, and 160 electronic table games encompassing a live-dealer stadium. Operated by the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority, trading as Mohegan, the complex also features non-gaming facilities, including 1,275 hotel rooms, 11 restaurants, and a 15,000-seat arena, which opened its first phase on November 30.
