LONDON, June 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC (NYSE:IGT) ("IGT"), announces the results to date with respect to its capped offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") its 6.250% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the "Notes"). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the offer to purchase dated June 8, 2020 (the "Offer to Purchase").

In addition, on June 19, 2020, IGT completed the sale of its $750,000,000 5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the "New Notes"). IGT expects to use a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the New Notes to fund the Tender Offer. The completion of the sale of the New Notes satisfied the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

As a result, IGT has exercised its discretion to increase the Maximum Tender Amount (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 19, 2020 (the "Early Tender Time"), IGT has accepted for purchase $499,999,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn, with such Notes subject to proration with an Early Proration Factor (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) of 42.551% and adjustment as contemplated by the Offer to Purchase.

The following table sets forth the increased Maximum Tender Amount, the principal amount of the Notes accepted for purchase and the Early Proration Factor:

_____________________
(1)  As of the commencement date of the Tender Offer.

Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and not accepted for purchase will be credited on the Early Settlement Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with DTC and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. Because the Tender Offer was oversubscribed as of the Early Tender Time, holders of Notes who tender Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes in the Tender Offer prior to the Early Tender Time will receive $1,050.00 for each $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes (the "Total Consideration") accepted for purchase, which includes an early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, rounded to the nearest $0.01 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

The Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on July 6, 2020.

Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, IGT may terminate the Tender Offer, waive any or all of the conditions of the Tender Offer prior to the Expiration Time, extend the Expiration Time or amend the terms of the Tender Offer.

IGT has retained D.F. King & Co. to act as Tender and Information Agent for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding procedures for tendering Notes may be directed to D.F. King & Co.

LONDON, U.K. – June 15, 2020 – International Game Technology PLC (NYSE: IGT) today announced that a CA$2,256,578 jackpot had been won on its Powerbucks^® Wheel of Fortune_® Exotic Far East slots game by an Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation (OLG) PlayOLG.ca player on May 26, 2020. The colossal win marks the largest jackpot ever won from IGT’s Powerbucks omnichannel progressive link for Canada.

Just three days later, on May 29, 2020, a second PlayOLG online slots player won a CA$1,015,561 jackpot while playing Powerbucks Wheel of Fortune Hawaiian Getaway.

These two jackpots combine for more than CA$3.2 million in top prize wins for PlayOLG.ca slot players via IGT’s award-winning Powerbucks link in just three days.

“OLG introduced IGT’s Powerbucks game several months ago and our players were drawn to its exciting opportunity to win life-changing jackpots at any bet level,” said Kim Clark, OLG Vice President of Product Management. “It’s thrilling for us to be able to say OLG players have won some great prizes, including the highest-ever Powerbucks jackpot.”

 

“Despite the temporary closure of casinos in Canada, IGT’s Powerbucks has continued to engage online players, build significant jackpot liquidity and deliver big wins such as the record-setting CA$2.2 million jackpot awarded on OLG’s online casino,” said David Flinn, IGT Regional Vice President, Canada. “IGT Powerbucks’ omnichannel availability has fueled its reputation as a growth-driving solution for Canada that delivers on its millionaire-making promise.”

Holders who validly tender their Notes after the Early Tender Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time will be eligible to receive only the Tender Offer Consideration, which is an amount equal to the Total Consideration (as defined below) less the Early Tender Premium.

The following table sets forth certain terms of the Tender Offer:

(3)	For each US$1,000.00 principal amount of Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase.
(4)	The Total Consideration equals the sum of the Tender Offer Consideration and the Early Tender Premium.

In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, rounded to the nearest $0.01 per $1,000.00 principal amount of Notes, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date or the Final Settlement Date (each as defined below), as applicable.

Notes may be subject to proration if the aggregate principal amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time or the Expiration Time, as applicable, is greater than the Maximum Acceptance Amount. Furthermore, Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time will be accepted for purchase in priority to Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time, and to the extent Notes are tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offer, the portion of the Maximum Acceptance Amount available for the purchase of Notes tendered after the Early Tender Time will be reduced or may be eliminated completely.

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GAN Limited (the “Company” or “GAN”) (NASDAQ: GAN), a leading business-to-business supplier of internet gambling software-as-a-service solutions to the U.S. land-based casino industry, today announced that Cordish Gaming Group, the global gaming division of The Cordish Companies, has engaged GAN as their enterprise software Platform provider to power their new “PlayLive!” branded Internet gambling business in the State of Pennsylvania, complementing the development of two new Live!-branded gaming facilities in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

The new Live! Casino & Hotel, located in the Stadium Entertainment District in the City of Philadelphia, will be a world-class hotel, gaming & entertainment destination featuring 2,200 slot machines and 150+ live action table games. The second new Live! Casino, located in Westmoreland County, near Pittsburgh, will feature more than 100,000 square-feet of gaming, dining and entertainment space, including 750 slots and approximately 30 live action table games. Both locations are expected to open in 2020.

Leveraging the nationally-recognized "Live! Rewards" customer loyalty program, this new Internet gambling destination website and counterpart mobile apps will launch in Fall 2020, in advance of the new Live! Casino openings—the first time a branded online gambling site has launched prior to the bricks and mortar facility. "PlayLive" will enable residents of Pennsylvania to enroll in advance, online, for their Live! Rewards Players Card, and feature a full range of gambling content for end users to engage with, encompassing Internet slots, table games and non-traditional online gambling games.

Live! is an existing client of GAN’s Simulated Gaming launched online in 2015 as an amenity complementing the Live! Casino & Hotel at Arundel Mills in Hanover, Maryland, proving once again the strategic advantage of GAN deploying this entertainment-only form of Internet gaming years in advance of regulated, intrastate, real money Internet gambling. In doing so, GAN increases the propensity of Simulated Gaming clients to extend their relationship with the Company to encompass real money Internet gambling.

Live! Casino will be GAN’s third client of real money Internet gambling enterprise software in the State of Pennsylvania, expanding GAN’s real money Internet gambling operations in the U.S. These operations now include the following states—New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Michigan and Ohio, both of which are expected to commence in the first half of 2021.

LAKEWOOD, N.J. (May 20, 2020) – After a thorough public bid process, the Puerto Rico Fiscal Agency and Financial Advisory Authority (AAFAF) has chosen Gaming Laboratories International (GLI®) to provide consulting and advisory services to the Puerto Rico Gaming Commission.

Under the agreement, GLI will assist the Commission in drafting regulations governing operations.

The Executive Director of the Gaming Commission, Jose A. Maymo Azize said, “During the past months, the Gaming Commission of the Government of Puerto Rico has taken several steps to develop its operational structure. As part of that effort, we teamed with AAFAF in the process of selecting GLI to advise us in the process of drafting the regulations on the several betting activities under our jurisdiction. This is a key element in expanding the establishment of this economic sector. Once the regulations are approved, the action plan consists of starting the licensing processes for the providers and for operators, which involve evaluating not only the legal, financial and technical requirements established in the regulations, but also compliance with responsible gaming and money laundering prevention protocols.”

“We are thankful to the AAFAF for choosing GLI, and we are honored to be part of this step forward for the Puerto Rican gaming industry as it advances to this new and exciting chapter in its history,” said GLI President/CEO James Maida. “At GLI, we are keenly focused on helping regulators, operators, and suppliers navigate the future of gaming, which will include new technologies surrounding sports betting, fantasy sports, and Esports, as the AAFAF and the Commission are considering.

IGT's dedicated payments team supplies cutting-edge solution for retail payments, in preparation for the post-COVID-19 era

LONDON, May 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC ("IGT") (NYSE: IGT) announced today that its cashless gaming technology is propelling the new era of gaming at Svenska Spel venues throughout Sweden. Through IGT's INTELLIGEN™ systems product utilizing IGTPay™ technology, Svenska Spel players now have the option to easily and securely fund their play at Video Lottery Terminals ("VLTs") from their mobile devices.

Svenska Spel's recent launch of IGT's INTELLIGEN VLT system and Quasar^® VLTs enables players to use their mobile device to register for and log into VLTs by integrating with their individual, nationally available Digital BankID, paving the way for cashless gaming with the addition of IGTPay.

Now, with the deployment of IGTPay, players who are logged onto a Svenska Spel VLT are presented with the option to draw funds directly from their bank account through Swish, a widely used mobile payment service in Sweden that is owned by the banks. Players simply approve the transfer via their mobile device and start playing their favorite VLT games. This end-to-end process takes just seconds. Following completion of gameplay, Svenska Spel can return any available funds directly back to the player's bank account automatically and instantaneously for a very progressive retail experience.

"Launching IGT's cashless product provides our players with a reliable, cutting-edge cashless solution that connects directly with the Swish mobile app, helping us drive efficiencies while responsibly advancing the player experience," said Magnus Lannersund, Director of VLT Operations, Svenska Spel AB. "IGT has been instrumental in our enterprise-wide modernization with solutions such as the Quasar VLT, the INTELLIGEN central system, our responsible gaming functions and now through their next-generation IGTPay cashless technology. This retail project was among the first of its kind in Sweden, enabling a retail business owner to return funds to a consumer's bank account via a consumer's mobile app. Svenska Spel is proud to be at the forefront of retail innovation especially when the need for cashless options for the post-COVID-19 era is more crucial than ever."

"Svenska Spel is at the forefront of innovation with IGT's cashless gaming solution. This groundbreaking technology introduces a contemporary consumer experience to land-based gaming in one of the most progressive societies in the world," said Declan Harkin, IGT Senior Vice President and COO, International. "The combination of IGT's INTELLIGEN and IGTPay products builds upon our payment expertise in the digital gaming and lottery segments to create a solution that enables players to enjoy the convenience and security of cashless gaming in retail."

"As the relevance of cashless and contactless gaming innovations continues to grow, technologies such as IGT INTELLIGEN with IGTPay become critical components of the player experience, and solutions that can bring tremendous value to our global customers," said Ryan Reddy, IGT Vice President, Systems and Payments Products. "We have established a dedicated Payments Team to ensure that customers such as Svenska Spel are equipped with IGT solutions and services that deliver modern payment options that align with consumer expectations and future business opportunities."

IGT has been a Svenska Spel supplier of VLT technology since 2006. The Swedish state-owned gaming operator currently operates 4,750 IGT VLTs in gaming venues throughout the country, leverages the INTELLIGEN central system, and utilizes a vast range of IGT game content.
