LAS VEGAS, April 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
NYX Gaming Group (TSX-V: NYX), the market-leading end-to-end
supplier to sportsbook, gaming, lottery and bingo operators across
the globe, has extended its partnership with GVC Holdings PLC
(LSE:GVC) through the launch of NYX OGS, the company's game
aggregation server, with bwin.
GVC operates several of the most prominent global brands in the
gaming sector, including bwin, Sportingbet, partypoker, partycasino
and Foxy Bingo.
With GVC holding licences in more than 18 countries, the
partnership extends NYX's market reach to further regulated

Spain, and New Jersey, where GVC provides the Borgata
Hotel Casino & Spa with its internet gaming platform.
A NYX customer since 2014, GVC already offers NYX OPS on a
number of its gaming brands, including Sportingbet. The Group is
now expanding the range of content it takes to include the
award-winning NYX OGS, which it will use to enhance the casino and
games offer of bwin, its flag ship Sports Label. Together with
GVC's other Sports Labels, bwin generated €654 million out of a
Group total of €895m net gaming revenue on a pro forma basis in
2016.
The single integration to the omni-channel games aggregation
platform gives bwin access to a huge portfolio of over 1000 titles
from NYX's market-leading studio NextGen Gaming, and over 40 other
world-class third party studios.
