NYX Gaming Group, a gaming developer with offices in Sydney, has recently acquired Amaya (Alberta) Inc and Cryptologic. This acquisition will better position NYX Gaming Group in the online casino market, opening up new opportunities for the company to appeal to a wider range of players around the world. Amaya Inc was formerly named Chartwell Technology.

NYX Gaming Group will be purchasing the company along with Cryptologic from Amaya Gaming for $150 million cash. The deal is expected to close by the end of the third quarter in 2015. As part of the acquisition deal, NYX will be part of a ‘preferred supplier licensing agreement’ with Amaya subsidiaries. As such, NYX Gaming Group will be able to provide its games to a various Amaya-powered online casinos and gambling sites.

This deal will last for the next six year. Amaya is a huge force in the online casino world, having recently acquired many large online gambling sites. Now that Amaya owns PokerStars and Full Tilt, it is likely that we will see Amaya Gaming titles available at these well-known online gaming sites and many others.

NYX Gaming offers up a wide range of innovative and exciting online pokies, and it will great to see a wider audience having access to games like Judge Dredd, Foxin’ Wins and The Spin Lab. "We are pleased to further deepen our relationship with NYX as a strategic partner and supplier to our B2C online casino operations," says David Baazov, CEO of Amaya Gaming.

"The Transaction is consistent with our stated strategy of divesting our non-core B2B assets, while still giving us the ability to offer popular games and new and innovative titles on a regular basis from Chartwell, Cryptologic and now NYX."
