GAN making strides

GAN is a leading provider of gaming software-as-a-service that mainly focuses on the land-based casino sector in the US. Simulated Gaming is one of the main parts of GAN’s offering, allowing casinos to offer social gaming options in states where iGaming is legal. It is an effective marketing tool, maximizing the revenue opportunities for both GAN and operators. 

Penn National is the biggest casino operator in the country that works with GAN in the area of social gaming. Penn Interactive looks after the retail sportsbooks, iCasino, bingo, and social casino offerings for Penn National. Earlier this year, GAN went public via an initial public offering (IPO).

Over the past week, GAN has also linked up with Route 66 Casino and the Cordish Gaming Group as it looks to allow operators to offer social gaming in states where real money iGaming is soon to be legal.
