Gaming Realms signs land based gaming machine licensing agreement

Slingo IP agreement with Scientific Games Corporation

Gaming Realms announces that it has signed a strategic, five-year licensing agreement with Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS), one of the leading providers of gambling products and services to lottery and gaming organisations. The gaming machine manufacturer will have exclusive rights to produce and distribute Slingo® branded slot machines to casinos and related properties on a worldwide basis.

Under the terms of the licence, Scientific Games will develop new slot games for traditional gaming machines, video lottery terminals, and on-property handheld devices. The agreement includes a minimum guaranteed royalty stream to Gaming Realms payable within the first two years. The agreement is an expansion of Scientific Games' existing licence to produce Slingo® branded scratch lottery tickets. This is one of the most successful licensing arrangements in the lottery industry, selling over $1 billion dollars' worth of tickets across 36 U.S States and three international markets.

Commenting on the agreement, Patrick Southon, CEO, said:

"Following on from the success of our printed lottery products partnership with Scientific Games, we are delighted with the opportunity to bring Slingo to slot machines in casinos around the world with a market leader." 

The new licence is an important next step in Gaming Realms' long-term strategy to extend Slingo® into markets adjacent to the Group's core mobile gaming business, and comes on the back of the three-year social gaming agreement with Zynga Inc. announced in January this year. Both licences will deliver high-margin revenue streams over their respective periods.
