PALM BEACH, Fla., Dec. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Most would agree that it would be a safe bet to say that casinos have been losing money due to the global pandemic… Don't take that bet! Actually, the spread of COVID19 has accelerated the demand for online gambling. Moreover, increasing digitalization coupled with secure digital payment options are also some factors contributing to online gambling market growth. The market is further expected to gain momentum over the forecast period attributed to the rising use of digital currency and websites provided by companies for betting and gambling. Earlier this year, Grand View Research reported that in 2019 the global online gambling market size was valued at USD 53.7 billion and that they expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.5% from 2020 to 2027. Later they projected the revenues in 2027 to reach $127.3 billion by 2027.  The report said that the market is expected to gain traction over the forecast period. Growing popularity of betting across the globe and freemium model in online gambling are among the potential opportunities likely to unfold in the next few years.  Active companies in the markets this week include DraftKings Inc. (NASDAQ: DKNG), Playgon Games Inc. (OTCQB: PLGNF) (TSX-V: DEAL), Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS), Landcadia Holdings II, Inc. (NASDAQ: LCA), Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN).

Grand View continued: "Increasing adoption of smartphones and easy access to casino gaming platforms are currently driving the market. Factors such as increasing internet penetration and availability of cost-effective mobile applications for betting are also expected to contribute to market growth over the forecast period… The high internet penetration and increasing use of mobile phones among individuals for playing online games from their homes and public places are driving the market. In addition, factors such as easy access to online gambling, legalization and cultural approval, corporate sponsorships, and celebrity endorsements are also contributing to market growth. The growing availability of cost-effective mobile applications across the globe is further expected to fuel market growth."

Playgon Games Inc. (TSXV: DEAL) (OTCQB: PLGNF) BREAKING NEWS:  PLAYGON GAMES SIGNS DISTRIBUTION DEAL WITH SWINTT MALTA LTD - Playgon Games Inc. (TSX-V: DEAL) (OTCQB: PLGNF) (Frankfurt: 7CR), and/or its subsidiaries ("Playgon" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that, as part of its global rollout strategy, it has executed a Software Licensing & Distribution Agreement ("SLDA") with SWINTT Malta Ltd., ("Swintt") a subsidiary of Malta based Glitnor Group. The SLDA grants Swintt rights to license and market Playgon's proprietary mobile first Live Dealer and E-Table Casino Games to its iGaming clients.

The Glitnor Group has rapidly become one of the fastest growing names in the iGaming industry through its experienced management team and extensive presence in Europe and Asia. Malta-based Swintt was established as the Glitnor Groups B2B business. It has since become a leading provider of content and Gamification tools to some of the largest gaming brands. They are an award-winning industry provider with a combination of proprietary and third-party content servicing many tier one clients in regulated markets. The addition of Playgon's suite of Live Dealer table games will complement Swintt's games portfolio and through a single point of integration provide their gaming customers access to the Company's innovative Live Dealer mobile product.

"We are delighted to work with the team at Swintt says Darcy Krogh CEO at Playgon." "They are an experienced management group in our industry with a significant and rapidly growing presence in several countries across Europe. This relationship will see us greatly expand the reach of our Live Dealer product and we look forward to introducing our games to their wide base of customers."
