International Game Technology (IGT) will contribute to a $415m settlement intended to end a class action lawsuit connected to DoubleDown Interactive (DDI).
The suit, Benson v DoubleDown Interactive, concerns DDI’s social casino product, which the plaintiffs allege violated Washington State law.
IGT, meanwhile, acquired DoubleDown in 2012 before selling it for $825m to DoubleU Games in 2017. The supplier has also entered into a long-term agreement to offer content on DoubleDown Casino.
As a result, IGT was implicated alongside DDI in the plaintiffs’ lawsuit. However, both IGT and DDI have now announced an agreement to settle the suit and associated proceedings.
