Oryx Gaming to launch in Czech Republic via full turnkey deal with Merkur; to significantly strengthen presence in region

Oryx Gaming has put pen to paper on a full turnkey deal with Gauselmann Group umbrella brand Merkur to launch its platform and content in the Czech Republic. The agreement marks another significant step for the Bragg Gaming Group (NASDAQ: BRAG) company as it continues to implement its strategy of “penetrating regulated markets” with industry-leading operators.

Under the deal, players at Merkur’s online casinos will gain access to a wide array of iGaming content including Oryx Hub-exclusive slots titles from Armenian studio Peter & Sons, German game developer Gamomat, and from Oryx’s own in-house studio. The provider will also provide its casino gaming aggregator product from leading suppliers to top-off the content offering.

PAM & FUZE:

The online operator will also leverage the Slovenian provider’s Player Account Management (PAM) iGaming platform in addition to operational services including fraud and data management, KYC and payments. Also included in the deal is Oryx’s state-of-the-art Fuze gamification and engagement toolset, including:

• Tournaments with Realtime Leaderboards   
• Quests
• Free Rounds
• Mystery Jackpots
• Achievements
• Promo Push Notifications
• Opt-In Tournaments
• Recommendation Engine

Each of which has been designed to enhance the player experience, boost online casino operator KPIs and increase player lifetime value (LTV) via a single centralized system.
