NYX Interactive is joining forces with independent slots and games developer Nextgen Gaming.
The businesses will merge to create a content-rich software provider combining the NYX bingo, lottery and casino modules with NextGen's games catalogue and innovation in game design across the online, land-based, social and mobile distribution channels.
The acquisition brings together two experienced international software providers, combining their compatible customer base and complementary product offerings to deliver a broader range of products and services to their customers.
The combined business will own a catalogue of over 300 gaming titles with more than 40 customers and as a larger organisation is even better suited to meet the investment requirements of certain strategic regulated markets.
The group will adopt a unified set of software standards enabling rapid delivery and distribution of content, including slots, table games, bingo, instant-win games and scratchcards to a notable customer base that includes several World Lottery Association members, leading tier one operators and large casinos and sportsbooks. This will place the group in a strong position to profit from land-based casinos seeking to add an interactive offering to their portfolios.
NYX CEO David Flynn commented: "NYX and NextGen are a perfect fit. In addition to a shared set of values between the two organisations, we share a highly scalable business model and enjoy respected reputations."
Staffan Lindgren, co-founder of NYX, added: "In light of the regulation of the European gaming markets, this strategic move puts us right in the sweet spot of what operators expect from their technology partners."
