LAS VEGAS, Nov. 20, 2015 /CNW/ – NYX Gaming Group Limited (TSX VENTURE: NYX) (“NYX Gaming Group”), a market leading content and technology supplier to lotteries, casinos and gaming operators across the globe, is delighted to announce the acquisition of Side City development studio located in Montréal, Québec, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NYX Digital Gaming (Alberta) Inc.
The acquisition provides NYX Gaming Group with a studio that produces casino gaming content that caters traditionally to a North American bricks-and-mortar clientele.

The purchase price consisted of the issuance of 333,000 ordinary shares of NYX Gaming Group and a maximum performance-based cash payment of CAD $4.0 million conditional upon Side City meeting certain performance criteria for the 2016 and 2017 calendar years. The total assets acquired were less than 0.5% of NYX Gaming Group’s total assets at June 30, 2015.

Further, Side City gives us unique content for the North American market that complements our existing North American business and gives us an entry point to the United States land-based market with existing customer relationships.”
