Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) has launched an online slot game with accessibility in mind for players with disabilities.
Red Panda Tails of Wealth has screen readers and keyboard navigation, a high-contrast colour palette and an accessible heads-up display which can be incorporated into future releases.
OLG partnered with Pixiu Gaming and Light & Wonder’s Spark igaming program for the development of the game.
For the slot’s accessibility features, OLG worked with Fable, a Toronto, Canada-based company that offers digital accessibility services.
OLG said it allowed people with disabilities to test the game before it was released.
"The game is a proof of concept that shows how removing barriers to play can move us towards a more inclusive future in the gaming industry,” said Dave Pridmore, OLG's chief gaming officer.
