Matt Davey, CEO of NYX Gaming Group said: "As a highly diversified group, we have the largest gaming content portfolio for regulated markets in the industry. Combined with our leading Casino products, our Sportsbook technology via OpenBet is the market leader and powers the majority of tier one operators in regulated markets. Everything we do is focused on quality products with speed to market and deployment across all channels. As we continue to experience rapid growth we have appointed Jason Wallbridge to drive the group operating strategy across our content, systems and business development divisions. Jason joins us after a highly distinguished eighteen year career with Aristocrat including the roles of Chief Supply Officer and prior to that Managing Director of the EMEA division."
Eric will lead our Group Finance division and brings unrivalled knowledge of our business and the industry, having served on our board and in leadership positions at Atlantic Club Casino,Resorts International and Merrill Lynch. In taking up his new duties, Eric has formally resigned from the Board to focus full time on the CFO role. The Company will look to make additional appointments to the Board in due course.
Both of these appointments strengthen our execution capabilities and support the excellent foundations we have built to deliver world-class products and services to our customers in regulated markets. Eric and Jason join us at a very exciting period of growth and I'd like to welcome them both to the team."
Both roles are effective immediately and will be based at the Group's Las Vegas Headquarters.

They have set the bar high with their vision and ambition and I'm looking forward to working with them to build out additional execution capabilities across their group operation."

NYX has built its multi-product, diversified business through high profile acquisitions and the recent Q2 results demonstrate that the industrial logic behind the acquisitons is already bearing fruit. I look forward to working with Matt and the talented teams across the business to deliver the next phase of growth."
