The deployment gives Light & Wonder a named installation at a major regional casino property and further expands the footprint of the OBSIDIAN Pod on US gaming floors. For the supplier, the move is a meaningful commercial milestone because it ties one of its current cabinet platforms to a visible casino-floor placement in Indiana.

“Indiana represents another important milestone in the North American rollout of the OBSIDIAN Pod, and we are thrilled to bring this first-to-market experience to Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana, said Jon Hanlin, President, Global Tables at Light & Wonder. “The response from operators has been tremendous, and this installation is a reflection of the growing demand for innovative, player-focused automated roulette solutions.”

The launch also reinforces continued operator appetite for new hardware placements tied to established supplier brands, with Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana serving as the latest reference site for the cabinet.

“We are excited to be the first casino in Indiana to offer the OBSIDIAN Pod and to bring this innovative experience to our guests,” said Michael Gaudreau, Vice President of Casino Operations at Hard Rock Casino Northern Indiana. “The addition of the RouletteX offering and progressive jackpot adds a level of excitement we haven’t seen before, and early guest feedback has been extremely positive.”
