We've now demonstrated the positive, long-term impact of this value proposition with our current portfolio of apps, and we're poised to carry that success into new products and new game genres.

"Becoming a public company and securing the resources and support of key institutional investors will enable us to accelerate our growth as we launch new products, pursue new acquisition opportunities, and scale up our unique playAwards loyalty program."
