“The acquisition of the MGT assets will further strengthen our ability to provide our customers with a one-stop shop of comprehensive, integrated solutions that enable a seamless, convenient experience for casino patrons while delivering operational efficiencies for casino operators. By combining our existing Everi player loyalty and marketing solutions with these assets from MGT, we will be better positioned to offer our customers the industry’s most extensive suite of loyalty and marketing technology,” said Darren Simmons, vice president of FinTech.
The total cost of the acquisition was about $25 million. The payment of the $25 did not happen all at the same time. When the deal was closed, Everi paid a total of $15 million. On April 1, another $5 million will be paid. The final $5 million shall be paid on December 24, 2021.

This acquisition that Everi has done could help create new gaming companies all over the country.
