CHICAGO, Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Rush Street
Interactive (RSI) is extending its existing partnership
agreement with Gaming Realms plc (AIM: GMR), which currently
distributes its full Slingo Originals portfolio in
New Jersey through the Group's
Remote Game Server ("RGS"), to incorporate the additional state of
RSI's largest territory, Pennsylvania.
This is Gaming Realms first multi-state agreement with RSI, one
of the fastest-growing gaming companies in North America, as the developer and licensor
of mobile-focused gaming content continues to focus on increasing
its presence in the U.S.
Under the terms of the expanded agreement, Gaming Realms' Slingo
Originals content will now be directly integrated into RSI's
platform, eliminating the need for distribution via a third-party
aggregator. This direct integration with RSI for all U.S.
markets, including any future markets the parties may decide to
enter into together, is set to not only strengthen the relationship
between RSI and Gaming Realms, but to offer a stronger user
experience that leads to enhanced margins for the Group.
Michael Buckley, Executive
Chairman of Gaming Realms, commented: "We are incredibly
excited to be expanding our existing licensing agreement with Rush
Street Interactive, a major player in the U.S. gaming industry that
has recently announced its intention to list on the New York Stock
Exchange.
"The agreement underscores the quality and popularity of the
Group's Slingo portfolio, and as we increase our foothold in the
U.S. market, we are delighted to be able to bring our content to a
new audience, starting in the U.S. State
of Pennsylvania, where RSI leads in online
casino market share.
"We look forward to continuing to work closely and expanding
our relationship with such a highly acclaimed U.S. Operator, whilst
remaining focused on our shared commitment to create and offer
exciting and innovative content for players across all
markets."
Richard Schwartz, President of
Rush Street
Interactive, commented: "We
are excited to extend our partnership with Gaming Realms to be the
first online operator in Pennsylvania to bring these top quality and
well-known casino games to our players.
Our PlaySugarHouse.com players in
New Jersey love the
Slingo Originals portfolio and we have no doubt our
players in Pennsylvania will have
fun playing these fan favourite, iconic online games just as
much."
On July 27, 2020, RSI entered into a business
combination agreement with dMY Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE:
DMYT.U, DMYT and DMYT WS). Upon the closing of the transaction, the
combined company will change its name to Rush Street Interactive,
Inc. and trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "RSI."
