GAN Ltd. (NASDAQ:GAN) announced today it’s acquiring online casino game developer Silverback Gaming — a deal that adds to the buyer’s roster of internet casino games.<\/p>\n

Financial terms of the transaction weren’t disclosed. Privately held Silverback has offices in Bulgaria and the UK.<\/p>\n

The acquisition provides GAN with the exclusive rights globally to all current and future Silverback online games, which the Company expects will include 50 unique new slot games in the next three years,\u201d<\/strong> said the buyer in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Silverback will be added to GAN’s SuperRGS offering, which debuted in the US last month. The former’s existing portfolio of online slot games will launch on SuperRGS in the first half of 2022.<\/p>\n

Silverback online slot games include Aztec Luck and Mystery Stack, and the company’s offerings are available in regulated European markets. More than 100 business-to-consumer (B2C) iGaming operators offer Silverback games.<\/p>\n

iGaming Deal-Making Still Hot<\/h2>\n

In the fast-growing internet casino space, content and technology are prized, explaining why the pace of consolidation in the industry remains brisk.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s even more true at a time when much of the consolidation in the online gaming industry is revolving around buyers getting their hands on technology to fortify their in-house tech stacks. That\u2019s exactly what Aristocrat is doing in acquiring Playtech<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Thirteen months ago, GAN acquired Vincent Group Plc, also known as Coolbet, for $175 million in cash and equity. Coolbet offers live money sports wagering and internet casino services. That deal fortified GAN’s European footprint<\/a>, while helping the company get into Canada and Latin America.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThe Silverback acquisition is part of GAN\u2019s content acquisition strategy to increase the Company’s overall ‘take rate’ on existing B2B Gross Operator Revenue derived from iGaming, as well as growing GAN\u2019s share of iGaming revenues from B2C operators in the U.S. who are not already platform clients of GAN,\u201d said the company.<\/p>\n

GAN Staying Active<\/h2>\n

GAN is a gaming software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider focusing on the real money internet gaming, online sports betting, and simulated gaming segments.<\/p>\n

\n

With some analysts saying the US internet casino\/sports betting opportunity could reach $30 billion<\/a> at maturity, back-end technology is essential. On that note, it’s not surprising GAN is active when it comes to bolt-on acquisitions and other deals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In October, GAN said it inked<\/a> an accord with the casino operator \u201cto build and deploy the infrastructure for Station\u2019s \u2018STN Sports\u2019 online sports platform, mobile applications, and retail Over-the-Counter and Kiosk-based sports betting throughout Nevada.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company didn’t say if the Silverback acquisition will be accretive to earnings.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
