Third Quarter and First Nine Months Financial Highlights

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Tilman Fertitta commented, "We are pleased to deliver another quarter of double-digit revenue growth in an increasingly competitive market. Golden Nugget Online Gaming continues to pride itself in making the right investments in product, marketing and technology without wavering from our ultimate goal of profitability as we have achieved in New Jersey.

Business Update

President, Thomas Winter stated, "2021 continues to be a banner year for growth at GNOG. In Michigan, we continue to grow revenues, posting a 26.3% GGR increase over Q2 2021, while the rest of the market grew 4.7%. Our market leading growth in market share in the state during the quarter is a direct reflection of our steady focus on customer acquisition and retention, while our 33.6% quarterly growth in Net Gaming Revenue, outpacing our GGR growth, illustrates our financially disciplined approach to new markets. In Q3, Michigan accounted for 70% of our new active depositors, Net Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) kept growing in line with our forecast and we expect this trend to continue, as the weight of returning players, especially VIPs, increases in our players mix. This customer loyalty gives us further confidence that Michigan will eventually be at par with New Jersey in our revenue mix."

Thomas Winter added, "Elsewhere, we expect to build on this growth with our recent launches in West Virginia and Virginia and look forward to continuing our expansion plans as we move closer towards bringing the premium content and innovative features, synonymous with the Golden Nugget brand, to Arizona, Ontario and Pennsylvania, subject to licensure and regulatory approvals."

Third Quarter 2021

First nine months 2021

Important events during the quarter

Important events after the quarter

CEO-comment: Strong QoQ NDC growth

I am happy to see that we continue to increase sales quarter on quarter reaching EUR 6 448k in the third quarter. Comparing the financial development year over year we increase sales from EUR 2 376k to EUR 6 448k and EBITDA from EUR 961k to EUR 1,258k, meaning a sales growth of 172% and EBITDA growth of 31%.

The New Depositing Customers numbers has shown a large quarter on quarter growth of 34% reaching almost 40,000, which clearly shows that we are on the right track. YoY the growth figures regarding NDCs are more than tenfold compared to last year. We have actively continued to invest in new growth initiatives for the future at the expense of short-term profitability with an EBITDA of EUR 1 258k, such as new SEO strategy and development of sites. It would be wrong to say that we are satisfied with the EBITDA level, however internally we are sure of our progress and underlying KPIs are showing strong trends which will bear fruit going forward. KPI's such as the NDC figure as well as traffic levels within the iGaming Affiliation Segment increased sequentially by almost 50% in Q3 through improved rankings and our leads flow is also showing positive trends with an increase by 80%.

Re-opening of Dutch market

One of Europe's larger markets has re-opened as of 1st October. The Dutch market has previously been an important market for Acroud with strong presence and local knowledge. During the summer 2020 we adapted our product offering to the new legal framework on the Dutch market which impacted our revenues negatively.

I believe what has caught people's attention is how big the market seems to be, considering the information released by many operators in conjunction with the regulation coming into force. For me this shows "the power of the Dutch market".

At first only 10 operators have been granted a license with the second and major batch of new operators estimated to be announced in the spring. The opening has been slower than expected, since there are so few license holders to begin with but the best way to describe the long term future is a "landgrab", which puts affiliates in a favourable position and Acroud in particular.

Core operations and US

We are getting closer to taking the big leap forward. A proof of this is that we have seen a break-through in early Q4 and our additional SEO efforts have started to make a difference. Most notable is that we have managed to take one of our relatively new sites to be our larger assets in terms of both traffic and NDC's. Our strategy is to work predominantly with hybrid- and revenue share deals, which is why it takes a while before the increases in NDC has a direct impact on our bottom-line.

We are currently replicating our new way of working on multiple sites, and we are already starting to see positive effects even if ramp up periods can be expected. Consequently, I am very positive to that we will see solid organic growth in our core affiliate business, where we operate with high margins, as well as restarting our growth in the US going forward during 2022.

Product and content strategy

The need to differentiate and strengthen the product offering is becoming clearer and clearer. The industry as such has historically been very bonus and offer-driven. We are now shifting to be more focused on rich content, product quality and genuine value creation. As part of this we are working tirelessly to add unique value to our products such as daily sports updates, live streams, betting tools as well as personalized experiences.

Another clear proof of this is the launch of The Festival Series. While being a physical event it is the bridge between land-based gaming and affiliation. The Festival Series drives our online presence significantly. The best way to describe it, is a massive on-line event over months which peaks in a week-long physical event. All qualifier events are on-line, our partners are on-line operators, and it creates very strong and unique content for our products such as Pokerlistings and The Gambling Cabin.

Continued focus on software-based affiliation

Looking at our SaaS segment and our focus on software- based affiliation we are seeing continued solid growth. Voonix and Matching Visions software have taken important steps in order to offer services in new verticals such as VPN services and E-sport streaming monetization. While some of our competitors have tried and failed, our business model and software opens-up completely new ways of earning money for already established e-sport streamers, and our initial business partnership are so far proving our idea right.

To sum up where we stand at the moment, I can conclude that we have put a very eventful quarter behind us, integration and operational wise. The fruit of the hard work has started to pay off reaching 40,000 NDCs in Q3, which means that the EBITDA impact will come over time. In addition, after closing the third quarter the Dutch market has re-opened, which we will consider to be one of our core markets going forward.

Altogether the future holds massive opportunities for us - so stay tuned!

Applicants selected through the Request for Proposal process will have to apply to the state for the owners licence and meet the states licencing requirements.

The Chicago casino represents an initiative three decades in the making and remains one of the most attractive casino resort developments opportunities in the country. With 9.5 million residents, Chicago was visited by 60 million domestic and 1.5 million international visitors in 2019.

Chicago receives five proposals for its first integrated casino resort - Gambling Insider

Byron Allen, the 1980s comedian-turned-media-mogul who owns the Weather Channel, is angling to buy a massive chain of TV stations that were formerly owned by the Gannett newspaper giant and the outcome could make or break his budding business empire, according to some insiders.

Allen who made headlines last year when he took a racial-discrimination case against Comcast to the Supreme Court, losing the case but nevertheless wringing concessions from the cable giant for his fledgling TV networks is now eyeing an $8 billion deal to acquire Tegna, a chain of 64 TV and radio stations that span more than 50 markets across the US.

Allens motives may have become clearer last week when Fox launched a 24-hour streaming weather app that media insiders say looks like the basis for a new cable-TV channel. Fox Weather will likely have significant leverage as it eyes a rollout given the clout of Foxs news and sports channels and the Weather Channel is in its crosshairs, sources said.

Foxs app, which touts free always-on video streaming and 3-D radar, will be broadcast from a newly renovated studio at its Midtown headquarters and can also take content from local Fox stations around the US. Foxs network of dual-polarity Doppler radars, helicopters, reporters and news crews around the world lets us show you weather in a way youve never seen before, according to its Web site illustrating what the incumbent Weather Channel and Allen are up against.

Fox, which shares a common owner with News Corp., the publisher of The Post, declined to comment.

If 60-year-old Allen whose Allen Media Group thus has amassed 33 local TV network affiliate stations gets his hands on Tegnas 64 stations, his bargaining position with cable giants could get a major boost. Allen also could gain leverage to sell cable companies his other nine fledgling networks including Pets.TV, Comedy.TV, Recipe.TV and Cars.TV.

One problem: Allen is bidding for Tegnas TV stations against the hedge fund Standard General, whose CEO Soo Kim owns the Ballys casino empire and is teaming up in his bid with Apollo Global Management, the deep-pocketed private-equity giant. They have already submitted a fully financed offer of $22 a share for Tegna, according to multiple sources. Tegna shares on Friday closed at $19.66.

That offer comes with its own issues and could create an opening for Allen. Standard General earlier this year launched an unsuccessful proxy contest to oust Tegna Chief Executive David Lougee, pointing to allegations of discrimination and racial bias against Tegna, which Lougee denied. The Standard General-Apollo team would push out Tegnas current management; Allen would keep them, according to sources familiar.

Nevertheless, sources said Allen may face an even bigger problem himself, which is that the Weather Channels business took a major hit during the pandemic. As TV advertising dried up, Allen Medias earnings fell from about $185 million to $130 million before it closed in August on an acquisition of 10 stations from Gray Television giving it a modest boost, according to a person familiar with the companys finances.

As a result, Allen Medias debt in recent months has climbed to more than seven times its ebitda, a closely watched measure of profitability, sources close to the situation said. Thats getting close to a red line where Allen Media could break its debt covenant and makes it harder for him to secure financing for an ambitious acquisition, the person familiar with the companys finances said.

Allen who got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame last week already in recent years has tried to make a transformative acquisition and failed. In 2018 he wanted to participate in the $4 billion auction for Tribunes television stations and could not line up co-investors.

Last week, Allen was reportedly talking to Oaktree Capital Management, Fortress Investment Group and Ares Management about partnering on a last-minute bid for Tegna, sources said.

A sticking point for Allen is that his co-investors want a big stake in Tegna because theyd be putting up most of the equity. Allen wants to maintain almost complete control, sources following the situation said.

I think he will cave, a source close to the situation said.

Allen made some lenders skittish after an audit they conducted this summer showed hed drawn a hefty compensation package from his company, which had recent annual revenue of around $600 million, even as business was declining, sources said. Allen paid himself a total compensation package of $50 million in 2020, according to sources familiar.

Flagging Allens compensation, lenders charged him $40 million to allow him to borrow more money to finance Allen Medias roughly $1.5 billion in debt, according to sources familiar with the matter. Allen Media is paying a blended interest rate of around 7 percent, sources said. If it werent for the spending concerns, he wouldve been charged less than $40 million, sources said.

Meanwhile, Bloomberg reported that Allen recently borrowed $83 million to expand his Beverly Hills, Calif. estate. Since 2018, he has bought a lavish apartment on Central Park South for $27 million, a sprawling chalet in Aspen, Colo. for $27 million, and another estate on the Hawaiian island of Maui for $23 million.

If Allen doesnt close the deal for Tegna, his mini-media empire could find itself on shaky ground under the weight of excessive debt, sources said. The Weather Channel earns less than 15 cents a month per cable subscriber and makes most of its money from advertising, according to a person familiar with the situation. Still, Allen Media did well in the September upfronts where media companies sell airtime to advertisers, according to a source familiar with the circumstances.

But in addition to rival bidders, Allen faces uncertainty from Tegna itself, which has said only that its exploring a possible sale. Tegna, which had two sale processes in recent years that did not result in a sale, said last Wednesday it is reviewing its options to create and return value to shareholders.

Allen and Tegna both declined to comment to The Post.

BitStarz Casino Affiliate Program | Starzpatners

In recent years, the gambling industry has seen considerable transformations. For most gamers, online casinos have become one of the most appropriate platforms for online gaming and gambling.

Online casino service providers have been able to provide fans and players with an experience unlike any other thanks to new, engaging, and trustworthy technologies. Gaming technology has completely changed the betting experience and has influenced the way players make payments to the games they play.

We asked our guest expert Nina Olsendburg to share the biggest trends in online casino technology.

The impact of technology in todays gaming industry is far greater than we realize. For instance, Norway is known for having the most restrictive gambling laws in all of Europe. However, due to the help of technology, the restrictions are more relaxed.

With the relaxed restrictions, an individual living in Norway may use an affiliate site as a guide to play online slots, poker, or bingo at any online casino. If you dont know of any affiliate site, we recommend you visit norske casino sider, one of the best in Norway.

Back to our topic, in the world of online gambling, there are six incredible online casino technologies that are gaining traction, and they include:

Virtual reality and augmented reality have altered your perception of online gambling. Many incredible online casinos are already utilizing headsets to provide a never-before-seen gambling experience.

It has spawned a world of interactive gambling and real-life-like gameplay. When you play with this online casino technology, you receive a 360-degree perspective, and the mobile or PC screen simulates a real casino.

Cloud gaming has changed our perceptions of casino technology. It is possible to use several photos while also increasing cloud storage space, which has improved the wagering experience.

It does away with the problem of bulky software and allows for high-resolution gameplay to be enjoyed. Its amusing, straightforward, and indicative of the direction in which internet casinos will be heading in the future.

The gambling industry is undergoing significant transformations thanks to the recently developed artificial intelligence. This online casino technology has provided players with more intelligent and effective ways of playing the game.

It has spawned high-tech designs and genuine casino rooms that are eerily similar to the mood of the game. As a result, artificial intelligence ensures that players get the best of both worlds when it comes to digital gaming, resulting in a far more engaging experience for all participants.

Security in the gambling sector is improving. Making transactions and playing games online has never been easier. The way we think about gambling has changed as a result of technological advancements. As a result, security has increased confidence among community members, avoiding cyber hacking and fraud issues.

There has also been a rise in the usage of facial recognition, fingerprint recognition, and other similar technologies. This aids in the development of trust and the protection of information.

In order to provide fans and players with a fascinating, satisfying, and rewarding experience, online casinos rely on gaming software. In the present market, software vendors like Net Entertainment, Real Time Gaming, Playtech, International Gaming Technology, Microgaming, and Amaya Gaming are among the most prominent names.

Top Online Casino Technologies that are Successfully Taking Over the World - Persia Digest

Looking at the film through Dainottos lens, Many Saints makes a timely update to the story of postwar American capitalism by focusing on who was left out of its embrace. Whatever nostalgic qualities the film has are undercut by the added perspective of Harold, a Black affiliate of the crew who is allowed to run, and violently enforce, the numbers racket in the Black neighborhoods. He beats and kills his own and kicks the profits up to a bunch of gangsters who treat him like scum an unjust arrangement that can only last so long, and one not exactly unique to Harold. It is the eve of the riots that will ultimately disperse the working-class whites of the city, including the Soprano family, all over Essex County and beyond. And after Newark revolts, Harold follows suit: He starts his own numbers game.

Cinematic depictions of the Mafia tend, for obvious reason, to focus on the dramatic: the Lufthansa heist, the hit men, extortion schemes, broken thumbs, infiltration by the feds, wars between and within families. The reality of the mob is of course a lot more boring. As Chase put it to me: They spend all day sitting around eating sandwiches and thinking of ways to outsmart the government or big business. In New York, the Mafias real power came from its infiltration of a vast array of industries in the city: commercial waste-hauling, garment manufacturing, the docks, the Fulton Fish Market and construction. According to Selwyn Raabs Five Families, the Lucchese family even had a racket in this very newspaper, through its control of the union that represented deliverymen, which it used to get no-show jobs and to steal and sell copies of The Times.

The Mafia was a parasite on a grubbier economy one that was more tactile and localized than containerized and algorithmic. It was a grotesque mirror image of the American dream this economy enabled, a perverted form of upward mobility through hard work and enterprise. The key component enabling its industrial racketeering was control of unions, another choke point in an economy that had yet to become so totally manicured to suit the needs of corporations. Unions could be used as a two-way tollbooth. Employers could be pressured into giving regular kickbacks, in the form of cash or no-show jobs, through the threat of a strike but they could also bribe mobbed-up officials to look the other way so they could hire nonunion labor.

Around the time The Sopranos premiered, the N.Y.U. Law professor James B. Jacobs wrote a paper, along with a student, arguing that the Mafia, though weakened by decades of prosecutions, could come roaring back. By 2019, though, he had published a new paper called The Rise and Fall of Organized Crime in the United States, declaring the Mafia all but finished. The world in which the Cosa Nostra became powerful is largely gone, he wrote. And he cites a litany of factors that aided its collapse, a mix of technological advances, deregulation and financialization many of the same forces that have created the stratified economy of today.

Expanded access to credit had cut into what mobsters call the shylock business; theres no need to go to a loan shark when the payday lender will offer you similarly competitive rates. Gambling was legalized in many states and flourishes on many reservations; nearly every state in the Union has a lottery, which decimated the numbers racket. Italian American neighborhoods have emptied out as Jacobs writes, radically diminishing the pool of tough teenagers with Cosa Nostra potential; this is dramatized brilliantly in the final episode of the series, when a mobster from a New York family hurries through Little Italy on an important phone call and, when the call ends, looks around to see hes wandered into an encroaching and vibrant Chinatown. And, Jacobs notes, union membership has been decimated. In the mid-1950s, about 35 percent of U.S. workers belonged to a union, he writes. In recent years, only 6.5 percent of private-sector workers have been union members.

Though hardly a friend to the worker, the Mafia rose to power in tandem with a postwar economy that was. It was an organization adept at finding and exploiting crevices in a world that still had crevices. And it has been surpassed, both onscreen and in reality, by a form of organized crime better suited to our era: the transnational drug cartels that mimic our immense global supply chain, corrupting the governments of the developing world while aiding the developed worlds slide into senescence.

The Mafia did famously plunder the Teamsters union pension fund to build Las Vegas (as dramatized in Casino) and then (probably) killed Jimmy Hoffa when he threatened their control of it (as dramatized in The Irishman). But they could never have accomplished what came next. The trucking industry was deregulated in 1980, which crippled the Teamsters bargaining power and membership (and, by making freight trucking so cheap, gave us big-box retail). In 1982, the Central States pension fund, which had been the mobs piggy bank, was handed over to be managed by the big Wall Street banks. By the 2000s, the fund was facing shortfalls because of crippled union membership, and its Wall Street trustees made risky bets to cover the gap bets that went south. In recent years, the fund was paying out $2 billion more than it was taking in annually, a situation that could have emptied it entirely by 2025, were it not bailed out by Congress this March. Say what you will about the Mafias stewardship of the fund, but at least they left us with a place to see Celine Dion and play craps.

Why Is Every Young Person in America Watching The Sopranos? - The New York Times

Construction of the new Coachella Valley arena is well underway. You can already reserve seats for season tickets to watch the AHL team play. But what will that team be called? The team ownership hasn't yet announced that, but filings uncovered by News Channel 3 may provide some hints.

According to records with the United States Patent and Trademark Office found by News Channel 3, several names have been submitted for trademark by the company behind the arena development, the Oak View Group.

They are:

The new team will be an affiliate of the Kraken, a Seattle-based NHL professional ice hockey team. At this time, there is no official confirmation on the branding of the team.

All of the applications are categorized as "entertainment in the nature of hockey games." These applications are awaiting examination by the department, according to the information posted online.

News Channel 3 has reached out to Oak View Group regarding the trademark applications. A spokesperson declined to comment for this report.

Previous applications with the names Palm Springs Sun, Palm Springs Eagles, Palm Springs Dragons, Palm Springs Falcons, Palm Springs Hawks, and Palm Springs Firebirds were also filed; they are now listed with the status "abandoned." The project was originally slated to be built near the Agua Caliente Casino in downtown Palm Springs on N. Calle Encilia and E. Amado Road. The development group and the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians were in negotiations to build the arena, which would be capable of housing 10,000 guests. Last year, the developers announced the location change.

Officials broke ground on the $300 million, 11,000-seat arena in June. Construction is expected to be complete by October 2022. It is being built on 43 acres of unincorporated land in Thousand Palms just north of the I-10 freeway next to the Classic Club Golf Course.

The Coachella Valley Arena will be a state-of-the-art facility that will host concerts and entertainment events, as well as serve as thehome of an AHLhockey team, the affiliate for the NHL's newest team, the Seattle Kraken.

"Part of the reason is the majority of our owners on the Seattle Kraken own homes in the Coachella Valley during the wintertime. So it's a huge point of destination back and forth, and easy to get our players back and forth," Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group, the arena's developer, told News Channel 3 earlier this year.

The arena is privately funded and the owners are optimistic that it will host a variety of events for the Coachella Valley area. "Because if you think about it, is there a better place to come than the Coachella Valley during the wintertime?" Leiweke said.
