London | December 23, 2019: 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, welcomes today's passage into Michigan law HB 4311, a bill that includes provisions for the legalization of full real money Internet casino gaming in the State of Michigan as well as Internet sports betting. The bill has now been signed into law by the Governor of Michigan, and the market is expected to commence in 2020. Consistent with the regimes implemented in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware and West Virginia, Michigan has elected to enable all forms of Internet gaming as well as Internet sports betting, thereby maximizing the commercial opportunity for all Industry stakeholders as well as ensuring new State tax revenues from Internet gambling will be material at 8.4% on sports betting revenues and up to 28% on Internet gaming revenues.

With a population of 10.0 million (3.1% of the US population), the State of Michigan materially increases the number of Americans who will be permitted to gamble online. In total, 21.3% of Americans now live in States with legislation enabling Internet gambling. With Michigan's regulated Internet gambling market expected to commence in 2020, GAN is strongly positioned to serve Michigan casino operators in that State.

There are 26 casinos in Michigan comprising three commercial casinos in Detroit and a further 23 Native American casinos throughout the State. The Internet gambling market is forecast to generate $377 million in Gross Operator Revenue in the first 12 months of operations, increasing to $836 million in the fourth operating year (source: Regulus Partners, an International gambling consultancy).

Management Commentary

Dermot Smurfit, CEO of GAN commented:

"Including Michigan's population, 70 million Americans now enjoy laws enabling Internet gambling in their State. One year ago, Michigan passed legislation to regulate Internet gambling only for the former Governor to refuse to sign that bill into law. Yesterday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed HB 4311, and Michigan is now America's 13th State to regulate Internet gambling and, more importantly, the seventh State to regulate in 2019 alone. This reinforces our belief that the regulatory cycle for Internet gambling in the US will continue at a rapid pace into 2020 and beyond. This also signals States' increased appetite for enabling Internet casino gaming, as opposed to just Internet sports betting, in order to logically maximize the incremental State tax opportunity. GAN is the only fully licensed B2B-only platform vendor operating in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Indiana with the requisite technical expertise and 'day one' experience in multiple US Internet gambling markets to credibly serve one or more of Michigan's 26 land-based casinos."

LONDON, Dec. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- International Game Technology PLC (NYSE: IGT) announced that its subsidiary, IGT Global Services Limited (hereinafter "IGT"), has signed a 10-year extension to its existing agreement to provide its Private Management Lottery services to the four license holders and beneficiaries of The Barbados Lottery.

The extension enables IGT to continue to provide its current private management lottery services, including its industry-leading sales, marketing, advertising, and retail agent services. As part of IGT's ongoing services under the original agreement, it will deploy new retail terminals and ticket checkers, and will introduce self-service vending machines to the market. IGT will also continue to provide peripheral equipment for social space games, which are numbers games displayed on a monitor and played in settings like bars and restaurants.

IGT has operated The Barbados Lottery since the Lottery's inception in 2005.

In a joint statement, Lottery beneficiary officials Sandra Osborne, President of the Barbados Olympic Association; Conde Riley, President of the Barbados Cricket Association; Rosette Peirce, CEO of the Barbados Turf Club; and Neil Murrell, Acting Director of Sports, the National Sports Council said, "Our long-term partnership with IGT has proven to be the major driving force behind our ability to consistently contribute to the development of sports, youth, and cultural programs in Barbados. A significant portion of our organizations' income is derived from IGT-generated revenues, and it is these funds that enable us to deliver vital programs for all Barbadians to enjoy. This extended partnership with IGT is the proven and optimal way in which we can boost our revenues and sustain programs well into the future. We are excited to continue our partnership with IGT for years to come as we continue to focus on our missions and foster the development of our Barbadian talent."

"This amendment to extend our private management lottery services in Barbados demonstrates all four beneficiaries' confidence in IGT's expertise in responsibly growing the Lottery," said Declan Harkin, IGT Chief Operating Officer, International Lottery. "We look forward to enhancing this robust program through new and existing solutions that engage players, drive growth, and generate funds for good causes that ultimately benefit all Barbadians."

The amendment extends IGT's current agreement from 2023 through to 2033 and includes a provision for two additional five-year renewal terms.

The countries represented at the Roundtable were Argentina, Aruba, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, St. Lucia, and Uruguay.

“Our great appreciation and gratitude go to the Junta de Protección Social (JPS Costa Rica Lottery) and its President, Mrs. Esmeralda Britton González, for their outstanding efforts during the organization of the conference. Without their support, there would be no Roundtable. We are thankful to the JPS Lottery and the Ministry of Public Safety of Costa Rica for bringing a delegation of local government representatives that was the largest to date. One of the Roundtable’s objectives is to have a positive impact on the host country’s industry, and we hope the conference was a success in this regard,” said Karen Sierra-Hughes, Director of Latin America and Caribbean Government Relations and Business Development for GLI. “We are humbled by the great success of this Roundtable, and we are grateful to the 100 government representatives that decided to join us this year. The wealth of knowledge shared was unparalleled, and we are certain it will once again result in important regulatory advances for the jurisdictions in attendance We are already looking forward to next year’s conference.”

The President of Junta de Protección Social, Mrs. Esmeralda Britton González, MBA, said, “I want to deeply thank GLI for considering Costa Rica as the venue for the region’s 12^th Regulators Roundtable, held in our country. This is a very important event where regulators from all the countries of the region meet and information and experiences are shared that allow us to know the progress that each country has in terms of lotteries and gaming. The quality of the speakers, the strict order of the presentations, and the variety in the modality of each session allowed the participants to take full advantage of each panel. I recognize and congratulate GLI for the success of this event. I hope GLI will continue to conduct these educational events each year, which allow the regulated industry to continue advancing in the gaming world, learn from other experiences, and of course, advance in certification processes that allow us to improve the quality of the products and services we offer.”

The Executive Director of the Gaming Inspection and Regulation Service of Portugal, Mr. Luís Felipe Coelho said, “The Latin America and Caribbean Regulators Roundtable that took place in San José, Costa Rica will surely be marked in the memory of all its attendees as a high quality event for the topics discussed and the highest-level presentations that we had the opportunity to witness. Certainly, the exchange of ideas and experiences has enriched regulators for future actions in their respective jurisdictions.”

Mr. Manuel Antonio San Román Benavente, General Director of Casino Games and Slot Machines of Peru said, “I have had the opportunity to participate in the Regulators Roundtable promoted by GLI, which had an excellent setting in the city of San José, Costa Rica; a welcoming country with kind people and great economic development. My experience participating at all the Roundtables promoted by GLI to date with the collaboration of the host regulators that have welcomed us every year, has allowed us to bring new advances and improvements in the regulations of each one of the different countries participating. It should be noted that the continuous participation of regulators in the different Roundtables, when exchanging experiences allows us to keep up-to-date with the technological developments that are emerging year by year, as well as new techniques and solutions to the common problems that we are facing. Congratulations to the entire GLI team, as well as to Mrs. Esmeralda Britton, President of the Junta de Protección Social of Costa Rica, in her capacity as host regulator for this impeccable organization, which leaves in our memories pleasant and useful lessons.”

This year, the Roundtable hosted gaming and lottery regulators, government lotteries, tax and AML supervision authorities, and legislators. Speakers addressed critical topics, such as policy objectives and legislative updates, to more specific topics ranging from legal and technical compliance, social responsibility, and keeping crime out of the industry.

The event is produced through GLI’s highly respected educational division, GLI University®. Next, GLI will stage its North American Regulators Roundtable March 4-5 at the Tropicana Casino & Hotel in Las Vegas. For more information, visit gaminglabs.com/GLIRT20.

London | November 19, 2019: 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 November 18, 2019, by the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board ("PGCB") of Internet gaming and Internet sports betting financial information for the calendar month of October 2019 in Pennsylvania.

Highlights from the PGCB include:

· Internet Gaming Win was $4.9 million in October, reflecting an increase of 19.5% from the prior sequential month.(1) This compares to:

- $4.1 million for the month of September;

- $3.4 million for the month of August; and

- $0.8 million for the month of July.

· Total Internet Sports Wagering Handle(2) was approximately $198.7 million for the month of October, compared to:

- $13.7 million(4) for the month of September;

- $6.3 million for the month of August; and

- $2.9 million for the month of July.



(1) Internet Gaming Win was misstated in the Company's previous press releases concerning Pennsylvania market data and has been adjusted accordingly in this announcement.

(2) Gross amount of money accepted in wagers

(3) 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

(4) This number was understated as $13.4 million in GAN's press release dated October 18, 2019, as it excluded gross revenues of $268,844 from Mount Airy casino.

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.
