annual casino gaming in the US.

approval for our on premise gaming product.
It is a key approval for the industry, and we believe this
exciting product will be a great success for both Respin LLC, US

experience.
Our industry continues to strive for mobile gaming solutions to
cater to future generations, and we believe this is a positive step
in that direction. Class II offers many benefits for tribal casinos
and we feel this is smart and compelling solution for their
players."
