Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Background and Nature of Operations SciPlay Corporation was formed as a Nevada corporation on November 30, 2018 as a subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation (“Scientific Games”, “SGC”, and “the Parent”) for the purpose of completing a public offering and related transactions (collectively referred to herein as the “IPO”) in order to carry on the business of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “SciPlay”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, and “our”). As the managing member of SciPlay Parent LLC, SciPlay operates and controls all of the business affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries. We develop, market and operate a portfolio of social games played on various mobile and web platforms, including Jackpot Party Casino, Quick Hit Slots, Gold Fish Casino, Hot Shot Casino, Bingo Showdown, MONOPOLY Slots , and 88 Fortunes Slots , among others. Our games are available in various formats. We have one operating segment with one business activity, developing and monetizing social games. The following are our material subsidiaries: • SciPlay Parent Company, LLC (Nevada) • SciPlay Holding Company, LLC (Nevada) (“SciPlay Holding”) • Phantom EFX, LLC (Nevada) • Dragonplay Ltd (Israel) • Spicerack Media, LLC (Nevada) Initial Public Offering On May 7, 2019, we completed the offering of 22,720,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share (the “Offering”), after giving effect to the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option on June 4, 2019. We received $341.7 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discount, but before offering expenses of $9.3 million . In connection with the closing of the Offering and partial exercise of over-allotment option, we consummated the following organizational transactions: • We amended and restated the SciPlay Parent LLC Operating Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) to, among other things: (i) provide for a single class of SciPlay Parent LLC common units (the “LLC Interests”); (ii) exchange all of SG Social Holding Company I, LLC’s (“SG Holding I”) and SG Social Holding Company, LLC’s (each a wholly owned subsidiary of Scientific Games and collectively, the “SG Members”) existing member’s interests in SciPlay Parent LLC for LLC Interests; (iii) provide for the right of the SG Members to have their LLC Interests redeemed or exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock or, at our option, cash; and (iv) appoint SciPlay as the sole manager of SciPlay Parent LLC. • We amended and restated our articles of incorporation to, among other things, provide for Class A common stock and Class B common stock; • We used the net proceeds from the Offering and underwriters’ exercise of the over-allotment option after deducting the underwriting discount, as follows: Amount Note To acquire 20,725,319 LLC Interests from SG Holding I $ 311.7 (A) To acquire 1,994,681 newly issued LLC Interests from SciPlay Parent LLC 30.0 (B) Net proceeds after deducting underwriting discount $ 341.7 (A) SG Holding I subsequently used these proceeds as follows: Acquire IP License from Parent (“Upfront License Payment”) (1) $ 255.0 Distributed as a dividend to Scientific Games 56.7 $ 311.7 (B) SciPlay Parent LLC subsequently used the proceeds as follows: Fees and expenses incurred in connection with the IPO $ 9.3 General corporate purposes, including a portion of contingent acquisition consideration 20.7 $ 30.0 (1) Per the Assignment Agreement, dated May 7, 2019, SG Holding I assigned its rights, duties, obligations and interest under the IP License Agreement to SciPlay. • We issued shares of Class B common stock to the SG Members, on a one-to-one basis with the number of LLC Interests owned by the SG Members following the IPO; • As a result of the transactions described above, the SG Members own 82.0% of the outstanding shares and LLC Interests and 97.9% of the combined voting power; and • We and the SG Members entered into the TRA, and we and the SG Members entered into the registration rights agreement, dated May 7, 2019 (“Registration Rights Agreement”). Our corporate structure following the IPO is commonly referred to as an “Up-C” structure, which is often used by partnerships and limited liability companies when they undertake an initial public offering of their business. The Up-C structure will allow the SG Members to continue to realize tax benefits associated with owning interests in an entity that is treated as a partnership, or “passthrough” entity, for U.S. income tax purposes following the IPO. One of these benefits is that future taxable income of SciPlay Parent LLC that is allocated to the SG Members will be taxed on a flow-through basis and therefore will not be subject to corporate taxes at the SciPlay Parent LLC entity level. Additionally, because the SG Members may exchange or redeem their LLC Interests for newly issued shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or, at our option, for cash, the Up-C structure also provides the SG Members with potential liquidity that holders of non-publicly traded limited liability companies are not typically afforded. We will receive the same benefits as the SG Members on account of our ownership of LLC Interests in an entity treated as a partnership, or “passthrough” entity, for U.S. income tax purposes. As the SG Members redeem or exchange their LLC Interests, we will obtain a step-up in tax basis in our share of SciPlay Parent LLC assets. This step-up in tax basis will provide us with certain tax benefits, such as future depreciation and amortization deductions that can reduce the taxable income allocable to us. The TRA provides for the payment by us to the SG Members of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that we actually realize (or in some cases are deemed to realize) as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of assets of SciPlay Parent LLC (a) in connection with the IPO, (b) resulting from any redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests pursuant to the Operating Agreement or (c) resulting from certain distributions (or deemed distributions) by SciPlay Parent LLC and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to our making of payments under the TRA. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Consolidation Subsequent to the IPO, our sole material asset is our member’s interest in SciPlay Parent LLC. In accordance with the Operating Agreement of SciPlay Parent LLC, we have all management powers over the business and affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of SciPlay Parent LLC. Class A common stock issued in the IPO do not hold majority voting rights but hold 100% of the economic interest in the Company, which results in SciPlay Parent LLC being considered a VIE. Due to our power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of SciPlay Parent LLC, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, beginning with the IPO, we consolidate the financial results of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). SG Social Holding Company II, LLC is SciPlay’s predecessor for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, for all periods presented prior to May 7, 2019, the financial statements represent the financial statements of the predecessor. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity/accumulated net parent investment, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of SciPlay Corporation and SG Social Holding Company II, LLC in our prospectus dated May 2, 2019, filed with the SEC on May 6, 2019 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to herein as the “Prospectus”). Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the SciPlay Corporation’s financial statement and SG Social Holding Company II, LLC’s consolidated financial statements and related notes in the Prospectus, other than the adoption of ASC 842 described in Note 3. New Accounting Guidance‑ Adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in 2016. ASU 2016-02 combined with all subsequent amendments (collectively, “ASC 842”) requires balance sheet recognition for all leases with a lease term greater than one year to be recorded as a lease liability (on a discounted basis) with a corresponding right-of-use asset. This guidance also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures for lease arrangements and gives rise to other changes impacting certain aspects of lessee and lessor accounting. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11 and applied the lessee package of practical expedients. During the first quarter of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) to amend ASU 2016-02. This amendment exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain prior year interim disclosure information in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. We have provided the related transition disclosures as of the beginning of 2019 in accordance with ASU 2019-1. See Note 3 for our lease accounting policy and the impact of our adoption of ASC 842. The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in 2018. The standard allows companies to make an election to reclassify from AOCI to retained earnings the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Our adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Guidance‑ Not yet adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance amends the disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and adding certain disclosures on fair value measurements in ASC 820. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition We generate revenue from the sale of virtual coins, chips and bingo cards (collectively referred to as “virtual currency”), which players can use to play casino‑style slot games, table games and bingo games (i.e., spin in the case of slot games, bet in the case of table games and use of bingo cards in the case of bingo games). We distribute our games through various global social web and mobile platforms such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, and other web and mobile platforms. The games are primarily WMS , Bally , Barcrest ™, and SHFL ® branded games. In addition, we also offer third‑party branded games and original content. Disaggregation of Revenue We believe disaggregation of our revenue on the basis of platform and geographical locations of our players is appropriate because the nature and the number of players generating revenue could vary on such basis, which represent different economic risk profiles. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by type of platform: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Mobile $ 97.7 $ 82.8 $ 292.8 $ 232.1 Web 18.7 22.5 60.1 70.3 Other — — — 0.1 Total revenue $ 116.4 $ 105.3 $ 352.9 $ 302.5 The following table presents our revenue disaggregated based on the geographical location of our players: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 U.S. (1) $ 108.8 $ 96.2 $ 328.3 $ 275.6 International 7.6 9.1 24.6 26.9 Total revenue $ 116.4 $ 105.3 $ 352.9 $ 302.5 (1) Geographic location is estimated to be derived from the U.S. when data is not available. Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures We receive customer payments based on the payment terms established in our contracts. Payment for the purchase of virtual currency is made at purchase, and such payments are non‑refundable in accordance with our standard terms of service. Such payments are initially recorded as a contract liability, and revenue is subsequently recognized as we satisfy our performance obligations. The following table summarizes our opening and closing balances in contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts receivable: Accounts Receivable Contract Assets (1) Contract Liabilities (2) Beginning of period balance $ 31.5 $ 0.2 $ 0.7 Balance as of September 30, 2019 43.3 0.2 0.6 (1) Contract assets are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. (2) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we recognized $0.7 million and $1.5 million , respectively, of revenue that was included in the opening contract liability balance. Substantially all of our unsatisfied performance obligations relate to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Concentration of Credit Risk Our revenue and accounts receivable are generated via certain platform providers, which subject us to a concentration of credit risk. The following tables summarize the percentage of revenues and accounts receivable generated via our platform providers in excess of 10% of our total revenues and total accounts receivable: Revenue Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 September 30, 2019 September 30, 2018 Apple 45.5 % 41.9 % 44.1 % 41.7 % Google 35.0 % 33.1 % 35.4 % 31.4 % Facebook 16.0 % 21.3 % 17.0 % 23.0 % Accounts September 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Apple 57.6 % 38.6 % Google 22.2 % 31.3 % Facebook 16.3 % 23.7 % Contingent Acquisition Consideration The contingent consideration liability is recorded at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred and is remeasured each reporting period. The changes in fair value of contingent acquisition consideration as a result of remeasurement are included in contingent acquisition consideration expenses. The inputs used to measure the fair value of contingent consideration liability primarily consist of projected earnings‑based measures and probability of achievement (categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820). During the second quarter of 2019, we agreed with the Spicerack selling shareholders to pay them $31.0 million in total contingent acquisition consideration. We paid $3.0 million and $24.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 with the remaining balance to be fully paid by February 2020. The following table summarizes our contingent acquisition consideration liabilities: September 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Contingent acquisition consideration included in accrued liabilities $ 7.0 $ 18.8 Contingent acquisition consideration included in other long-term liabilities — 10.5 Deferred Offering Costs Through September 30, 2019, we incurred $9.3 million in costs directly related to pursuing the Offering. These costs were charged against the gross offering proceeds. Revolving Credit Facility In connection with the IPO, SciPlay Holding, a wholly owned subsidiary of SciPlay Parent LLC, as the borrower, SciPlay Parent LLC, as a guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into a $150.0 million revolving credit agreement (the “Revolver”) that matures in May 2024. The interest rate is either Adjusted LIBOR (as defined in the Revolver) plus 2.250% (with one 0.250% leverage-based step-down to the margin and one 0.250% leverage-based step-up to the margin) or ABR (as defined in the Revolver) plus 1.250% (with one 0.250% leverage-based step-down to the margin and one 0.250% leverage-based step-up to the margin) at our option. We are required to pay to the lenders a commitment fee of 0.500% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving commitments through maturity, which will be the five -year anniversary of the closing date of the Revolver, which fee varies based on the total net leverage ratio and is subject to a floor of 0.375% . The Revolver provides for up to $15.0 million in letter of credit issuances, which requires customary issuance and administration fees, and a fronting fee of 0.125% . The Revolver contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness; incur liens; sell, transfer or dispose of property and assets; invest; make dividends or distributions or other restricted payments; and engage in affiliate transactions, with the exception of certain payments under the TRA and payments in respect of certain tax distributions under the Operating Agreement. In addition, the Revolver requires us to maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50 :1.00 and to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 4.00 :1.00. Such covenants are tested quarterly at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Revolver is secured by a (i) first priority pledge of the equity securities of SciPlay Holding, SciPlay Parent LLC’s restricted subsidiaries and each subsidiary guarantor party thereto and (ii) first priority security interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible personal property and material fee-owned real property of SciPlay Parent LLC, SciPlay Holding and each subsidiary guarantor party thereto, in each case, subject to customary exceptions.

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	Leases On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11. Our operating leases primarily consist of real estate leases such as offices. Our leases have remaining terms of 1 year to 5 years . We do not have any finance leases. Our total variable and short term lease payments and operating lease expenses were immaterial for all periods presented.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We hold an economic interest of 18% in SciPlay Parent LLC subsequent to the IPO. The 82% economic interest that we do not own represents a noncontrolling interest for financial reporting purposes. SciPlay Parent LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes. As such, SciPlay Parent LLC is not subject to income tax in most jurisdictions, and SciPlay Parent LLC’s members, of which we are one, are liable for income taxes based on their allocable share of SciPlay Parent LLC’s taxable income. The effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were 11.3% and 10.0% , respectively, and 23.3% and 22.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The effective income tax rates were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate after considering any discrete items for such periods. Our effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate of 21% primarily because we do not record income taxes for the noncontrolling interest portion of pre-tax income. Additionally, the periods prior to the IPO are presented using historical results of operations and cost basis of the assets and liabilities as if we operated on a standalone basis during those periods, and the tax provision is calculated as if we completed separate tax returns apart from our Parent (“Separate-return Method’’). Certain legal entities that are included in these financial statements under the Separate-return Method were included in tax filings of affiliated entities that are not part of these financial statements. U.S. federal, state and local income tax provision of $6.5 million is included in the income tax expense under the Separate-return Method for the 2019 periods prior to the IPO.

The Parent frequently licenses IP from third parties, which we use in developing our games pursuant to the IP License Agreement. Royalties allocated for use of third‑party IP are charged to us and are typically based upon net social gaming revenues and the royalty rates defined and stipulated in the third‑party agreements, based on the appropriate valuation methodology performed by a third-party valuation specialist. Royalties under the IP License Agreement represent a charge for the use of the Parent IP related to certain internally developed social games such as Jackpot Party Casino , Gold Fish Casino and Quick Hit Slots . Royalties charged to us are based upon net social gaming revenues with the royalty rate established based on the appropriate valuation methodology performed by a third-party valuation specialist. In connection with the IPO described above, we obtained an exclusive (subject to certain limited exceptions), perpetual, non-royalty-bearing license from Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Bally Gaming”) for intellectual property created or acquired by Bally Gaming or its affiliates on or before the third anniversary of the date of the IP License Agreement in any of our currently available or future social games that are developed for mobile platforms, social media platforms, internet platforms or other interactive platforms and distributed solely via digital delivery, and a non-exclusive, perpetual, non-royalty-bearing license for intellectual property created or acquired by Bally Gaming or its affiliates after such third anniversary, for use in our currently available games. So long as the IP License Agreement remains in effect, we do not expect to pay any future royalties or fees for our use of intellectual property owned by Bally Gaming or its affiliates in our currently available games. The purchase price of the license was $255.0 million , which was determined based on the appropriate valuation methodology performed by a third-party valuation specialist. This transaction was treated as a deemed distribution to the Parent as it constitutes a transaction between entities under common control. Parent Services On September 5, 2016, we entered into a Services Agreement with the Parent pursuant to which the Parent and its subsidiaries provide us various corporate services. In connection with the IPO described above, we entered into a new Services Agreement under which the Parent and its subsidiaries will continue to provide us the below services on substantially the same terms. Parent services represent charges of corporate level general and administrative expenses that pay for services related to, but not limited to, finance, corporate development, human resources, legal, information technology, and rental fees for shared assets. These expenses have been charged to us on the basis of direct usage and costs when identifiable, with the remainder charged on the basis of revenues, operating expenses, headcount or other relevant measures, which we believe to be the most meaningful methodologies. TRA As described in Note 1 and in connection with the IPO, we entered into the TRA with SG Members. The annual tax benefits are computed by comparing the income taxes due including such tax benefits and the income taxes due without such benefits. Our estimated liability under the TRA as of September 30, 2019 was $76.3 million , of which $2.6 million was included in Accrued liabilities. The amount of aggregate payments due under the TRA may vary based on a number of factors, including the amount and timing of the taxable income SciPlay Parent LLC generates each year and applicable tax rates, with payments generally due within a specified period of time following the filing of our tax return for the taxable year with respect to which the payment obligation arises. The TRA will remain in effect until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the TRA. The TRA will also terminate if we breach our obligations under the TRA or upon certain change of control events specified in the agreement. If the TRA is terminated in accordance with its terms, our payment obligations would be accelerated based upon certain assumptions, including the assumption that we would have sufficient future taxable income to utilize such tax benefits.

Equity [Abstract]
Stockholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest	Stockholders’ Equity and Noncontrolling Interest Stockholders’ Equity Following the closing of the IPO and the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters on June 4, 2019, there were 22,720,000 shares of our Class A common stock issued and outstanding and 103,547,021 shares of our Class B common stock issued and outstanding. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except where separate class voting is required by Nevada law. Each share of Class A common stock entitles its holder to one vote on all matters presented to our stockholders generally. Each share of Class B common stock entitles its holder to ten votes on all matters presented to our stockholders generally, for so long as the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the SG Members and their affiliates represents at least 10% of our outstanding shares of common stock and, thereafter, one vote per share. Immediately following the IPO, all of our outstanding shares of Class B common stock were held by the SG Members on a one-to-one basis with the LLC Interests each SG Member then owned. Following the IPO and the partial exercise of over-allotment option by the underwriters on June 4, 2019, the holders of our issued Class A common stock collectively held 100% of the economic interests in us and 2.1% of the voting power in us, and Scientific Games, through its indirect ownership of all of the outstanding Class B common stock, held the remaining 97.9% of the voting power in us. Noncontrolling Interest We are a holding company, and our sole material assets are LLC Interests that we purchased from SciPlay Parent LLC and SG Holding I, representing an aggregate 18.0% economic interest in SciPlay Parent LLC. The remaining 82.0% economic interest in SciPlay Parent LLC is owned indirectly by SGC, through the ownership of LLC Interests by the SG Members. Stock-Based Compensation During the second quarter of 2019, we adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). The LTIP authorizes the issuance of up to 6.5 million shares of Class A common stock to be granted in connection with awards of incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock and stock units, stock appreciation rights and performance-based awards. The Parent maintains an equity incentive awards plan under which the Parent may issue, among other awards, time‑based and performance‑based stock options and restricted stock units to our employees. Although awards under such plan result in the issuance of shares of the Parent, the amounts are a component of the total compensation for our employees and are included in our stock‑based compensation expense, which is accounted for as a component of Stockholders’ equity. Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units (PRSUs) During the second quarter of 2019, SciPlay employees including our senior executives and a non-employee director were granted PRSUs with respect to our Class A common stock. The performance criteria for vesting of such PRSUs granted is based on revenue and Adjusted EBITDA metrics set through the end of fiscal year 2022. Recipients of these awards generally must be actively employed by and providing services to the Company on the last day of the performance period in order to receive an award payout. In certain cases, upon death, disability or a qualifying termination, all or a pro-rata portion of the PRSUs will remain eligible to vest at the end of the performance period. The fair value of the PRSUs granted was based on the initial offering price of the Company's Class A common stock of $16.00 per share. Stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards is recognized over the service period based on our projection as to the probable outcome of the above specified performance conditions. We reassess the probability of meeting the above specified performance conditions at each reporting period and adjust stock-based compensation expense to reflect current expected results, as necessary. The following table summarizes stock‑based compensation expense that is included in general and administrative expenses: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2019 2018 2019 2018 Related to SciPlay equity awards $ 1.3 $ — $ 5.0 $ — Related to the Parent’s equity awards 0.2 0.8 3.1 2.1 Total $ 1.5 $ 0.8 $ 8.1 $ 2.1 As of September 30, 2019 we had $18.0 million in unrecognized stock-based compensation expense that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average expected vesting period of 1.6 years, of which $14.2 million

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings per Share	Earnings per Share The table below sets forth a calculation of basic earnings per share ("EPS") based on net income attributable to SciPlay for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Diluted EPS of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to SciPlay by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to all potentially dilutive securities, using the treasury stock method. For purposes of calculating EPS for periods prior to the IPO, including the nine months ended September 30, 2019 for which a portion of the periods preceded the IPO, we retrospectively presented EPS as if the IPO had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. We excluded Class B common stock from the computation of basic and diluted EPS, as holders of Class B common stock do not have economic interest in us and separate presentation of EPS of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Litigation	Litigation From time to time, we are subject to various claims, complaints and legal actions in the normal course of business. In addition, we may receive notifications alleging infringement of patent or other intellectual property rights. Washington State Matter On April 17, 2018, a plaintiff filed a putative class action complaint, Fife v. Scientific Games Corp., against our Parent, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. The plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons in the State of Washington who purchased and allegedly lost virtual coins playing our online social casino games, including but not limited to Jackpot Party Casino and Gold Fish Casino . The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Washington’s Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act, Washington’s consumer protection statute, and for unjust enrichment, and seeks unspecified money damages (including treble damages as appropriate), the award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, pre‑ and post‑judgment interest, and injunctive and/or declaratory relief. On July 2, 2018, our Parent filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint with prejudice, which the trial court denied on December 18, 2018. Our Parent filed its answer to the putative class action complaint on January 18, 2019. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible loss. Although the case was brought against Scientific Games, pursuant to the Intercompany Services Agreement, we would expect to cover or contribute to any damage awards due to the matter arising as a result of our business. SciPlay IPO Matter (New York) On or about October 14, 2019, the Police Retirement System of St. Louis filed a putative class action complaint in New York state court against SciPlay, certain of its executives and directors, and SciPlay’s underwriters with respect to its initial public offering. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all persons or entities who acquired Class A common stock of SciPlay pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement filed and issued in connection with SciPlay’s initial public offering on or about May 3, 2019. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77, and seeks certification of the putative class; compensatory damages of at least $144.7 million , and the award of the plaintiff’s and the class’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible loss, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them. SciPlay IPO Matter (Nevada) On or about November 4, 2019, plaintiff John Good filed a putative class action complaint in Nevada state court against SciPlay, certain of its executives and directors, Scientific Games Corporation, and SciPlay’s underwriters with respect to SciPlay’s initial public offering. The plaintiff seeks to represent a class of all persons who purchased Class A common stock of SciPlay in or traceable to SciPlay’s initial public offering that it completed on or about May 7, 2019. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act, 15 U.S.C. § 77, and seeks certification of the putative class; compensatory damages, and the award of the plaintiff’s and the class’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Consolidation	Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Consolidation Subsequent to the IPO, our sole material asset is our member’s interest in SciPlay Parent LLC. In accordance with the Operating Agreement of SciPlay Parent LLC, we have all management powers over the business and affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of SciPlay Parent LLC. Class A common stock issued in the IPO do not hold majority voting rights but hold 100% of the economic interest in the Company, which results in SciPlay Parent LLC being considered a VIE. Due to our power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of SciPlay Parent LLC, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, beginning with the IPO, we consolidate the financial results of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). SG Social Holding Company II, LLC is SciPlay’s predecessor for financial reporting purposes, and accordingly, for all periods presented prior to May 7, 2019, the financial statements represent the financial statements of the predecessor. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Principles of Consolidation	In the opinion of management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity/accumulated net parent investment, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of SciPlay Corporation and SG Social Holding Company II, LLC in our prospectus dated May 2, 2019, filed with the SEC on May 6, 2019 pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (referred to herein as the “Prospectus”). Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from our estimates.
New Accounting Guidance	New Accounting Guidance‑ Adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) in 2016. ASU 2016-02 combined with all subsequent amendments (collectively, “ASC 842”) requires balance sheet recognition for all leases with a lease term greater than one year to be recorded as a lease liability (on a discounted basis) with a corresponding right-of-use asset. This guidance also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures for lease arrangements and gives rise to other changes impacting certain aspects of lessee and lessor accounting. We adopted ASC 842 as of January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided by ASU 2018-11 and applied the lessee package of practical expedients. During the first quarter of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842) to amend ASU 2016-02. This amendment exempts both lessees and lessors from having to provide certain prior year interim disclosure information in the fiscal year in which a company adopts the new leases standard. We have provided the related transition disclosures as of the beginning of 2019 in accordance with ASU 2019-1. See Note 3 for our lease accounting policy and the impact of our adoption of ASC 842. The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”) in 2018. The standard allows companies to make an election to reclassify from AOCI to retained earnings the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Our adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Guidance‑ Not yet adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The new guidance amends the disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements by removing, modifying, and adding certain disclosures on fair value measurements in ASC 820. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance. We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue and Contract Related Policies	Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures We receive customer payments based on the payment terms established in our contracts. Payment for the purchase of virtual currency is made at purchase, and such payments are non‑refundable in accordance with our standard terms of service. Such payments are initially recorded as a contract liability, and revenue is subsequently recognized as we satisfy our performance obligations. Revenue Recognition We generate revenue from the sale of virtual coins, chips and bingo cards (collectively referred to as “virtual currency”), which players can use to play casino‑style slot games, table games and bingo games (i.e., spin in the case of slot games, bet in the case of table games and use of bingo cards in the case of bingo games). We distribute our games through various global social web and mobile platforms such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon, and other web and mobile platforms. The games are primarily WMS , Bally , Barcrest ™, and SHFL ® branded games. In addition, we also offer third‑party branded games and original content. Disaggregation of Revenue We believe disaggregation of our revenue on the basis of platform and geographical locations of our players is appropriate because the nature and the number of players generating revenue could vary on such basis, which represent different economic risk profiles.
