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 “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”). The IPO was completed on May 7, 2019. As the managing member of SciPlay Parent LLC, SciPlay operates and controls all of the business affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries. On July 15, 2021, Scientific Games submitted a proposal to our board of directors to acquire all the outstanding equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by Scientific Games (approximately 19%). The offer to all SciPlay shareholders (other than Scientific Games and its subsidiaries) is the receipt of 0.250 shares of Scientific Games common stock for each share of SciPlay Class A common stock. The transaction is subject to the negotiation and execution of a mutually acceptable merger agreement with a special committee of our board of directors, and we cannot guarantee that the proposal will result in a merger or any other transactions. 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, 88 Fortunes® Slots and Solitaire Pets™ Adventure. Our games are available in various formats. We have one operating segment with one business activity, developing and monetizing social games. 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 (“SEC”). 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 consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related Notes included in our 2020 Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year. 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 (the “Operating Agreement”), 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. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2020 Form 10-K, except as noted below. Minimum guarantees under licensing agreements We enter into long-term license agreements with third parties in which we are obligated to pay a minimum guaranteed amount of royalties, typically periodically over the life of the contract. These license agreements provide us with access to a portfolio of major brands to be used across our games. We account for the minimum guaranteed obligations within Current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities at the onset of the license arrangement and record a corresponding licensed asset within intangible assets, net. The licensed intangible assets related to the minimum guaranteed obligations are amortized over the term of the license agreement with the amortization expense recorded in Depreciation and amortization. The long-term liability related to the minimum guaranteed obligations is reduced as royalty payments are made as required under the license agreement. We assess the recoverability of license agreements whenever events arise or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value of the licensed asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the licensed asset and the amount of impairment, if any, are determined using our policy for intangible assets with finite useful lives. The following reflects amortization expense related to these licenses and recorded in depreciation and amortization: Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Amortization expense $ 1.1 $ 0.5 $ 3.4 $ 0.9 The following are our total minimum guaranteed obligations for the periods presented: As of September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 Current liabilities $ 6.0 $ 2.6 Other long-term liabilities 11.8 0.3 Total minimum guarantee obligation $ 17.8 $ 2.9 Weighted average remaining term (in years) 4.2 2.4 Revolving Credit Facility On May 27, 2021, SciPlay Holding Company, LLC (“SciPlay Holding”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of SciPlay Corporation (the “Company”), entered into Amendment No. 1 to that certain $150.0 million revolving credit agreement, dated as of May 7, 2019 (the “Revolver”), by and among SciPlay Holding, SciPlay Parent Company, LLC, the several banks and other financial institutions or entities from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent and issuing lender (such amendment, “Amendment No. 1”). Amendment No. 1 amended, among other things, certain negative covenants in the Revolver to permit SciPlay Holding to merge or consolidate with and into its direct subsidiary, Phantom EFX, LLC, which was renamed SciPlay Games, LLC (“SciPlay Games”) immediately following such merger. Substantially simultaneously with the merger, SciPlay Games expressly assumed all obligations of SciPlay Holding as the successor borrower under the Revolver. The Revolver was undrawn as of September 30, 2021. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under the Revolver as of September 30, 2021. New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 and subsequently ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, including derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows for computing variable margin settlements, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued, in 2022 or potentially 2023 (pending possible extension). The ASUs establish certain contract modification principles that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients and exceptions. The ASUs may be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. 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 coins, chips and cards, 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 Microsoft. 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, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Mobile $ 130.8 $ 131.8 $ 399.5 $ 377.3 Web and other 15.8 19.4 52.2 57.8 Total revenue $ 146.6 $ 151.2 $ 451.7 $ 435.1 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, 2021 2020 2021 2020 North America (1) $ 134.0 $ 138.5 $ 413.3 $ 399.1 International 12.6 12.7 38.4 36.0 Total revenue $ 146.6 $ 151.2 $ 451.7 $ 435.1 (1) North America revenue includes revenue derived from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. 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 coins, chips and cards 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 $ 36.6 $ 0.2 $ 0.6 Balance as of September 30, 2021 35.6 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, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $0.6 million and $0.6 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 Concentration Three Months Ended Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 September 30, 2021 September 30, 2020 Apple 47.3% 46.5% 46.9% 46.0% Google 36.6% 37.0% 37.0% 37.3% Facebook 12.5% 12.8% 12.4% 13.3% Accounts Receivable Concentration as of September 30, December 31, 2021 2020 Apple 49.9% 49.2% Google 34.1% 35.4% Facebook 11.7% 11.5% Acquisitions In July of 2021, we acquired privately held Koukoi Games Oy, a Finland-based developer and operator of casual mobile games, for $5.4 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired, that allows us to expand our casual games portfolio. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, with substantially all of the cash consideration transferred allocated to intellectual property, which was assigned a 5-year useful life.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We hold an economic interest of 19.2% in SciPlay Parent LLC subsequent to the IPO. The 80.8% 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, 2021 were 4.1% and 4.6%, respectively, and 3.3% and 4.9% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. 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 U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily because we generally do not record income taxes for the noncontrolling interest portion of U.S. pre-tax income. TRA During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, payments totaling $3.8 million and $2.5 million, respectively, were made to Scientific Games pursuant to the TRA. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the total TRA liability was $68.3 million and $72.5 million, of which $4.0 million was included in Accrued liabilities in both periods.

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 divided by the basic weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. 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. No material number of restricted stock units was excluded from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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, therefore, a separate presentation of EPS of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been presented.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
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. There have been no material changes to these matters since our 2020 Form 10-K was filed with the SEC, except as described below. Washington State Matter On April 17, 2018, a plaintiff, Sheryl Fife, filed a putative class action complaint, Fife v. Scientific Games Corporation , against SGC 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 SGC’s 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, SGC filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiff’s complaint with prejudice, which the trial court denied on December 18, 2018. SGC filed its answer to the putative class action complaint on January 18, 2019. On August 24, 2020, the trial court granted plaintiff’s motion for leave to amend her complaint and to substitute a new plaintiff, Donna Reed, for the initial plaintiff, and re-captioned the matter Reed v. Scientific Games Corporation . On August 25, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint against SGC, asserting the same claims, and seeking the same relief, as the complaint filed by Sheryl Fife. On September 8, 2020, SGC filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff’s claims and to dismiss the action, or, in the alternative, to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. On April 9, 2021, the plaintiff filed a motion to certify the putative class and for a preliminary injunction. On April 26, 2021, the district court stayed the lawsuit, pending its ruling on SGC’s motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff’s claims and to dismiss the action, or, in the alternative, to transfer the action to the United States District Court for the District of Nevada. On June 17, 2021, the district court denied that motion, and on June 23, 2021, SGC filed a notice of appeal from the district court’s denial of that motion, and also filed a motion to stay all district court proceedings, pending the appeals court’s ruling on the Company’s arbitration appeal. 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. We believe it is reasonably possible that a conclusion of this matter may result in an unfavorable outcome with no current estimated range of possible loss. 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 “PRS Action”). The complaint was amended on November 18, 2019. 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, which commenced 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 $146.0 million, and the award of the plaintiff’s and the class’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the action. On or about December 9, 2019, Hongwei Li filed a putative class action complaint in New York state court asserting substantively similar causes of action under the Securities Act of 1933 and substantially similar factual allegations as those alleged in the PRS Action (the “Li Action”). On December 18, 2019, the New York state court entered a stipulated order consolidating the PRS Action and the Li Action into a single lawsuit. On December 23, 2019, the defendants moved to dismiss the consolidated action. On August 28, 2020, the court issued an oral ruling granting in part and denying in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. On December 14, 2020, plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a motion to certify the putative class. On May 12, 2021, the parties in the consolidated action reached an agreement in principle to settle the consolidated action. On July 27, 2021, the parties in the consolidated action entered into a settlement agreement to settle the consolidated action. On August 11, 2021, the New York court granted preliminary approval to the parties’ proposed settlement, stayed non-settlement related proceedings in the consolidated action pending final approval of the settlement and scheduled a hearing for final approval of the settlement on November 15, 2021. 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, SGC, 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. On February 27, 2020, the trial court entered a stipulated order that, among other things, stayed the lawsuit pending entry of an order resolving the motion to dismiss that was pending in the SciPlay IPO matter in New York state court. On September 29, 2020, the trial court entered a stipulated order that extended the stay pending a ruling on class certification in the SciPlay IPO matter in New York state court. On May 12, 2021, the parties in the Nevada lawsuit reached an agreement in principle to settle the lawsuit and so informed the Nevada court, which vacated non-settlement related proceedings in the lawsuit, pending final approval of the settlement agreement by the New York court. Based on our assessment under ASC 410 and ASC 450 and consideration of the two SciPlay IPO matters above, we determined that both loss and insurance proceeds loss recovery, which we believe is recoverable under our insurance policy, are deemed probable and reasonably estimable. As a result, we recorded approximately $8.3 million in Accrued liabilities and $8.0 million in Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of September 30, 2021, with no material impact on our statement of income for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2021.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
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 (“SEC”). 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 consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related Notes included in our 2020 Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
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 (the “Operating Agreement”), 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.
Minimum guarantees under licensing agreements	Minimum guarantees under licensing agreementsWe enter into long-term license agreements with third parties in which we are obligated to pay a minimum guaranteed amount of royalties, typically periodically over the life of the contract. These license agreements provide us with access to a portfolio of major brands to be used across our games. We account for the minimum guaranteed obligations within Current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities at the onset of the license arrangement and record a corresponding licensed asset within intangible assets, net. The licensed intangible assets related to the minimum guaranteed obligations are amortized over the term of the license agreement with the amortization expense recorded in Depreciation and amortization. The long-term liability related to the minimum guaranteed obligations is reduced as royalty payments are made as required under the license agreement. We assess the recoverability of license agreements whenever events arise or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value of the licensed asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of the licensed asset and the amount of impairment, if any, are determined using our policy for intangible assets with finite useful lives.
New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted		New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 and subsequently ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, including derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows for computing variable margin settlements, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued, in 2022 or potentially 2023 (pending possible extension). The ASUs establish certain contract modification principles that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients and exceptions. The ASUs may be applied prospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Revenue Recognition and Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures		Revenue Recognition We generate revenue from the sale of coins, chips and cards, 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 Microsoft. 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.
Concentration of Credit Risk		Concentration of Credit Risk Our revenue and accounts receivable are generated via certain platform providers, which subject us to a concentration of credit risk.
