•

Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-249936), originally filed with the SEC on November 6, 2020, registering 250,000 Shares, issuable in connection with the SciPlay Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, at a proposed maximum offering price per share of $13.55.

These Post-Effective Amendments are being filed in connection with the closing on October 23, 2023 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 8, 2023 (as amended or otherwise modified in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Light & Wonder, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), Bern Merger Sub, Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company. On October 23, 2023, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a subsidiary of Parent.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. In accordance with undertakings made by the Company in each Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company hereby removes from registration all such securities of the Company registered pursuant to the Registration Statements that remain unsold and any plan interests that are unissued as of the date hereof. Each Registration Statement is hereby amended, as appropriate, to reflect the deregistration of such securities.
