Under the terms of the Agreement, Amaya would receive a share of the revenue generated from the Brands, subject to necessary regulatory requirements.

"We're extremely pleased to be the selected partner for Golden Nugget's venture into the emerging online gaming market in the United States," said David Baazov, CEO of Amaya Gaming Group.
