Company Now Taking Orders for Award-Winning Starwall, Designed to Add Attraction, Increase Player Immersion

LAS VEGAS – February 20, 2020 – AGS today announced the launch of its Starwall immersive video merchandising display designed for integration with its Orion Portrait games to add dramatic attraction across the casino floor and provide a cinematic play experience.

AGS first unveiled the Starwall at the Global Gaming Expo (“G2E”) 2019, where the innovative video display received rave reviews from operators and won the silver ‘Gaming & Technology Award’ for ‘Best Slot Product’. Now AGS is taking orders and planning for spring Starwall installations.

AGS Executive Vice President Matt Reback said, “The Starwall was an absolute showstopper at G2E, recognized by operators for its ability to activate just about any area of a casino floor with its vibrancy, its game synchronization, and its ability to deliver a theater-like experience to players. Whether it is installed in the middle of a casino or along a wall, the Starwall promises to illuminate the casino floor.”

A first-of-its kind, the large-format free-standing Starwall combines hundreds of direct-view LED tiles to create a seamless video backdrop measuring 8 ½-feet wide by 8 ½-feet deep. Fitting sleekly and securely with three-packs and six-packs of premium Orion Portrait games, the Starwall adds attraction through high-impact motion graphics complementary to the game theme.

AGS is launching the Starwall with its new 88 Tian Lun™ family – starting with Jade Wins Deluxe® and Golden Wins Deluxe®. The game titles offer the same proven player-favorite features that have made the classic Jade Wins® and Golden Wins® casino-floor top performers, while adding a thrilling bonus wheel. Triggered randomly with any wild symbol during base-game play, the wheel bonus awards progressive jackpots, credit prizes, multipliers, respins, or an exciting coin-grab bonus that awards credits multiplied by the bet multiplier.

LONDON, Jan. 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC (IGT) (NYSE: IGT), the global leader in gaming, has announced that it is one of 325 companies across 50 industries selected for the 2020 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (GEI), which distinguishes companies committed to advancing women's equality and transparently reporting gender data.

"Diversity and inclusion are critical to IGT's identity and the value it creates in the market, which is why we're proud to be distinguished by Bloomberg for our initiatives advancing gender equality within the Company," said Mario Di Loreto, IGT Executive Vice President of People and Transformation. "Being selected as part of this index reflects our overall commitment to making IGT a more diverse and inclusive workplace for its 12,000 employees around the world. We look forward to continuing our work related to gender, as well as many other dimensions of diversity, in the years to come." 

The reference index measures gender equality across five pillars: female leadership and talent pipeline, equal pay and gender pay parity, inclusive culture, sexual harassment policies, and pro-women brand. This year, Bloomberg expanded the eligibility for inclusion in the index to nearly 6,000 companies across 84 countries and regions.

Through disclosure of gender-related metrics using the GEI framework, the firms included in the 2020 GEI provided a comprehensive look at their investment in workplace gender equality and the communities in which they operate. IGT was included in this year's index for scoring at or above a global threshold established by Bloomberg, which reflects a high level of disclosure and overall performance across the framework's five pillars.

"The 325 companies included in the 2020 GEI have shown their commitment to transparency and demonstrated leadership in gender-related data reporting," said Peter T. Grauer, Chairman of Bloomberg. "Disclosure of company statistics and practices is an important first step in supporting gender equality globally."

The 2019 GEI included 230 companies headquartered across 36 countries and regions. It expanded in 2020 to represent 42 countries and regions, including firms headquartered in the Czech Republic, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Poland, and Russia for the first time. Companies range from a variety of industries, including leisure facilities and services, automotive, banking, consumer services, engineering and construction, and retail.

Both the framework and the GEI are voluntary and have no associated costs. The GEI is a reference index and is not for use as a financial benchmark. The index is not ranked. To learn more, visit the GEI website at https://www.bloomberg.com/gei.

London | January 17, 2020: GAN plc ("GAN" or the "Company"), an award-winning developer and supplier of enterprise-level B2B Internet gambling software, services and online gaming content in the United States, today updated the market following the publication on January 16, 2020, by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board ("PGCB") of Internet gaming and Internet sports betting financial information for the calendar month of December 2019 in Pennsylvania.



Highlights from the PGCB include:

· Internet Gaming Win was $10.6 million in December, reflecting an increase of 10.0% from the prior sequential month. This compares to:

- $9.7 million for the month of November;

- $4.9 million for the month of October; and

- $4.1 million for the month of September.

· Total Internet Sports Wagering Handle(1) was approximately $297.4 million for the month of December, compared to:

- $266.7 million for the month of November;

- $198.7 million for the month of October; and

- $158.2 million for the month of September.

· Internet Sports Wagering Gross Revenues(2) (after payouts) for the month of December were $14.5 million, compared to:

- $17.3 million for the month of November;

- $14.5 million for the month of October; and

- $13.7 million for the month of September.

(1) Gross amount of money accepted in wagers

(2) Internet Sports Wagering Gross Revenues may vary from month to month due to the payouts for future events occurring months after the original wager was made and unredeemed winning wagers from prior months will become deductible upon redemption in future months

This information will be updated and published each month, following publication by the PGCB, in order to enable the investor community to readily monitor growth of Internet gambling in Pennsylvania, which remains a key market for GAN.

A state lottery may finally become legal in Alabama this year, with tribal casino expansion plans offering to support a lottery, according to a Fantini Research report.

The National Legislative Preview, published by industry journal Fantini Research, reports that a $1bn offer from The Poarch Creek would see expansion for its casinos to include Class III gaming, which supports a state lottery.

The plan would promise $350m in projected tax revenue. The state is one of just five currently without a lottery, with legislation failing in the past two years.

The findings of the report also suggest a state-wide referendum is expected to allow casinos, racetracks and sports betting in Georgia, while Northern Virginia could get an additional $155m in tax revenue if legislation passes for a casino.

Sports betting is set to become available in Michigan within the next 12 months, after the state enacted legislation that legalizes sports wagering for both commercial and tribal casinos, which could serve as a model for others to follow.

Federal legislation has also been introduced to pave the way for tribes to offer online sports betting without violating the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act. 

California could be set for change, with hearings set to begin later this month into a state-wide sports betting referendum.

A Horse Racing Integrity Act is being considered, which would create an independent anti-doping authority to oversee a nationwide drug control program for horse racing, with 53% participating in a Reuters survey supporting the move.

Fantini’s review, compiled by its public policy editor Laura Briggs, examines the key issues facing the gaming industry in 2020, with sports betting currently legal in 20 states plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, with another 15 states to launch operations.

The Powerbucks jackpot pool has delivered some of the largest slot jackpots in Canada. Since making its Canadian debut in 2016, Powerbucks has paid 15 jackpots of more than a million dollars.
