GAN ink Station Casinos social gaming deal; PNG launch mobile slots app

Online gaming technology provider GAN has inked a social gaming deal with Nevada-based regional casino operator Station Casinos.

On Tuesday, GAN announced that it had struck a deal with Station to provide the operator with GAN’s Simulated Gaming free-play online casino product. The deal was originally announced in early August without revealing that Station was the client.

That August announcement claimed the free-play product would launch in late 2016 but Tuesday’s announcement said the launch wouldn’t come until “early 2017.” GAN also confirmed that the social casino would be integrated into Station’s myBoardingPass on-property rewards program, allowing customers to earn real-world rewards at Station’s 19 properties through online play.

Station marks GAN’s second Nevada client and its fourth major US casino client with over $1b in annual revenue. GAN CEO Dermot Smurfit said the Station deal would generate material income and earnings for GAN in 2017.
