Apolo III Acquisition Corp. is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated March 8, 2021, it has entered into a definitive business combination agreement dated April 19, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Playmaker Capital Inc. (“Playmaker”) and 2830125 Ontario Inc. (“Apolo Subco”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apolo, incorporated, pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “OBCA”) in connection with the proposed business combination of Apolo and Playmaker, which transaction (the “Qualifying Transaction”) is intended to constitute Apolo’s “Qualifying Transaction” (within the meaning of Policy 2.4 – Capital Pool Companies of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”)).

The Business Combination Agreement provides for, among other things, a three-cornered amalgamation (the “Amalgamation”) pursuant to which, among other things: (a) Playmaker will amalgamate (the “First Amalgamation”) with Apolo Subco, (b) all of the post-Playmaker Consolidation (as described below) common shares of Playmaker (each, a “Playmaker Consolidation Share”) outstanding immediately prior to the First Amalgamation will be cancelled and, in consideration therefor, the holders thereof will receive post-Apolo Consolidation (as described below) common shares of Apolo (each, an “Apolo Consolidation Share”) on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share, and (c) the entity resulting from the amalgamation between Playmaker and Apolo Subco will subsequently amalgamate (the “Second Amalgamation”) with Apolo under the OBCA (the “Resulting Issuer”), and the Apolo Consolidation Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Second Amalgamation will be exchanged for the common shares of the Resulting Issuer (each, a “Resulting Issuer Share”) on the basis of one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share for each one (1) Resulting Issuer Share. After giving effect to the Qualifying Transaction, the shareholders of Playmaker will collectively exercise control over Apolo.

Prior to or on completion of the Amalgamation (the “Effective Time”), it is intended that: (i) the outstanding common shares of Apolo (each, an “Apolo Share”) will be consolidated (the “Apolo Consolidation”) on the basis of one (1) Apolo Consolidation Share for each 4.54 pre-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Shares, (ii) common shares of Playmaker (each, a “Playmaker Share”) will be consolidated (the “Playmaker Consolidation”) on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for every 2.5 pre-Playmaker Consolidation Playmaker Shares, (iii) Apolo will change its name to “Playmaker Capital Inc.”, and (iv) provided the Escrow Release Conditions (as defined below) are satisfied, each Subscription Receipt (as defined below) will automatically convert into one Playmaker Consolidation Share prior to the Effective Time.

Completion of the proposed Qualifying Transaction is subject to, among other things, receipt of all necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals.

The Business Combination Agreement

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, among others, the following conditions precedent be met prior to the Effective Time, including, but not limited to, (a) acceptance by the Exchange and receipt of other applicable regulatory approvals; (b) completion of the Subscription Receipt Financing (as defined below); (c) receipt of the requisite approvals of the shareholders of Apolo (the “Apolo Shareholders”) with respect to the Apolo Consolidation, adoption of a new stock option plan (in such form as requested by Playmaker, acting reasonably) (the “Stock Option Plan”), the director appointments agreed upon by Apolo and Playmaker (the “Director Appointments”) and adoption of an advance notice by-law; (d) receipt of the requisite approvals of the shareholders of Playmaker with respect to the Playmaker Consolidation and the Amalgamation; (e) no adverse material change in the business, affairs, financial condition or operations of Playmaker or Apolo having occurred between the date of entering into the Business Combination Agreement and the closing date of the Qualifying Transaction; and (f) dissent rights shall have been exercised in respect of no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding Playmaker Shares. There can be no assurance that the Qualifying Transaction will be completed as proposed or at all.

The Amalgamation will not constitute a Non-Arm’s Length Qualifying Transaction (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange). No person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party (as such term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) of Apolo has any direct or indirect beneficial interest in the share capital of Playmaker or its assets prior to giving effect to the Amalgamation and no such person is an insider of Playmaker. Similarly, there is no known relationship between or among any person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party of Apolo and any person who or which is a Non-Arm’s Length Party to Playmaker.

If all conditions to the implementation of the Amalgamation have been satisfied or waived, Apolo and Playmaker will carry out the Amalgamation. Pursuant to the terms of the Amalgamation, it is expected that the following security conversions, exercise and issuances will occur among Apolo, Playmaker and the securityholders of Playmaker at or prior to the Effective Time:

  1. the Apolo Shares being consolidated on the basis of one (1) post-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Share for every 4.54 pre-Apolo Consolidation Apolo Shares;
  2. an aggregate of 23,875,000 options (the “Founder Options”) collectively held by Relay Ventures Fund III L.P., Relay Ventures Parallel Fund III L.P. Jordan Gnat and JPG Investments Inc. to acquire an equal number of Playmaker Shares at a price of US$0.00001 per Playmaker Share will be exercised;
  3. all issued and outstanding Class A Preferred Shares of Playmaker shall be converted to Playmaker Shares (subject to applicable adjustment for the Playmaker Consolidation);
  4. the Playmaker Shares (excluding the Playmaker Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Subscription Receipts and conversion of the Playmaker Debentures (as defined below)) being consolidated on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for every 2.5 pre-Playmaker Consolidation Shares;
  5. the Subscription Receipts being exchanged, without additional consideration or further action, into Playmaker Consolidation Shares upon satisfaction of the Escrow Release Conditions;
  6. the 5.0% convertible debentures (the “Playmaker Debentures”) in an aggregate principal amount of $12,500,000 issued in connection with the acquisition of Futbol Sites LLC and Odenton Company S.A. by Playmaker on March 3, 2021 will be converted into Playmaker Consolidation Shares at a price equal to the greater of (i) $0.10 per Playmaker Consolidation Share, and (ii) 80% of the per-share price attributed to the Playmaker Consolidation Shares in connection with the Qualifying Transaction;
  7. each Broker Warrant (as defined below) to be issued to the Agents (as defined below) in connection with the Subscription Receipt Financing outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be exchanged for Resulting Issuer Share purchase warrants (the “Resulting Issuer Broker Warrants”) such that the holders of such Resulting Issuer Broker Warrants will be entitled to the purchase of one Resulting Issuer Share per one Resulting Issuer Broker Warrant;
  8. Apolo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Playmaker Consolidation Shares such that all issued and outstanding Playmaker Consolidation Shares, including those issued in exchange for the Subscription Receipts and those issued on conversion of the Playmaker Debentures, will be exchanged, without additional consideration or further action, for Resulting Issuer Shares on the basis of one (1) Playmaker Consolidation Share for one (1) Resulting Issuer Share;
  9. each stock option of Playmaker (other than the Founder Options) and each warrant of Playmaker outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or not vested, shall be cancelled and exchanged for comparable securities of the Resulting Issuer ( “Resulting Issuer Options” and “Resulting Issuer Warrants”) on economically equivalent terms, subject to adjustments contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; and
  10. each stock option of Apolo outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or not vested, shall be cancelled and exchanged for Resulting Issuer Options on economically equivalent terms, subject to adjustments contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Immediately following the Effective Time, the Resulting Issuer is expected to have 178,813,069 Resulting Issuer Shares, 7,014,200 Resulting Issuer Options, 730,800 Resulting Issuer Warrants and 1,575,600 Resulting Issuer Broker Warrants issued and outstanding. As of the Effective Time, the current Apolo Shareholders will hold an aggregate of approximately 1,892,000 Resulting Issuer Shares, representing approximately 1.1% of the Resulting Issuer Shares. Immediately following the Effective Time, Playmaker is expected to hold 128,921,069 Resulting Issuer Shares (or approximately 72.1%) and the holders of Subscription Receipts (as defined below) are expected to hold 48,000,000 Resulting Issuer Shares (or approximately 26.8%) of the total issued and outstanding Resulting Issuer Shares.

Trading of the Apolo Shares was halted on April 6, 2020 as a result of the failure of Apolo to complete a Qualifying Transaction within 24 months of its listing on the Exchange, and is currently suspended and will remain suspended until completion of the Qualifying Transaction. Trading of the Apolo Shares will not resume prior to the completion of the Qualifying Transaction.

PGCB Reports Record Revenue of Nearly $6.4 Billion from Legal Gambling in State Fiscal Year

Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board Reports Record Revenue of Nearly $6.4 Billion from Legal Gambling in State Fiscal Year

 

The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PGCB”) today reported that revenue generated during the combined Fiscal Year 2024/2025 of gaming it regulates reached a record level of $6,394,641,819.

This figure consists of the combined revenue from casino slot machines and table games, iGaming, sports wagering, video gaming terminals (VGTs) and fantasy sports contests. The amount eclipses the previous high for revenue in a fiscal year of $5,892,516,807 achieved in 2023/2024. Pennsylvania’s Fiscal Year runs from July 1 to June 30.

The resulting tax revenue from the play of these games in Fiscal Year 2024/2025 was $2,797,395,982. That figure eclipses the previous high for tax revenue in a fiscal year achieved during 2023/2024 of approximately $2.54 billion. The estimated amounts for revenue and taxes being reported are prior to any possible adjustments by the PA Department of Revenue.

Tax revenue from the various forms of gaming regulated by the PGCB is returned to Pennsylvanians in a number of ways. These include, but are not limited to:

  • school property tax reduction on an owner’s primary residence;
  • state, county, and local economic development, safety and recreational projects;
  • support of the agricultural industry through support of horse racing; and,
  • revenue toward the Commonwealth’s General Fund.

A comparison of combined revenue is below:

THE 56th ANNUAL WORLD SERIES OF POKER® SETS NEW RECORDS

Published

on

 

The 2025 WSOP sets unprecedented benchmarks across entries, prize money, and payouts, solidifying its status as the pinnacle of live tournament poker

After eight weeks of thrilling competition, the 56th annual World Series of Poker (WSOP®) at the Paris Las Vegas and Horseshoe Las Vegas officially concluded on July 16. The 2025 series has once again redefined live tournament poker, shattering multiple all-time records and further cementing its legendary status.

“The poker renaissance was on full display at the 2025 WSOP,” said Ty Stewart, Chief Executive Officer of WSOP. “If you missed the amazing action, the good news is that you can inevitably expect bigger and better next year. A sincere thank you to every player and staffer who came to Las Vegas and made this a summer to remember.”

The action-packed summer on the Las Vegas Strip featured appearances from a host of celebrities and poker legends, all vying for poker’s most coveted prize: the WSOP gold bracelet. In addition to the strong turnout, the 2025 WSOP will be remembered for the launch of the revolutionary WSOP+ app, which virtually eliminated registration lines throughout the summer and greatly enhanced the WSOP experience for the entire playing community.

 

2025 WSOP By the Numbers – A Historic Summer

This year’s WSOP delivered staggering figures, setting several new all-time records across the board:

  • 246,960 entries – The most all-time entries for a single WSOP series

  • $481,761,879 – The largest total prize money awarded in WSOP history

  • 37,311 places paid – The highest number of unique payouts in series history

  • 43 – The number of $1M+ prizes won across the 2025 series

  • Event #53: Millionaire Maker No-Limit Hold’em attracted 11,996 entries, setting a new record for the largest $1,500 buy-in field in live tournament poker history

  • Event #89: Mid-Stakes Championship No-Limit Hold’em saw 3,797 entries, becoming the largest $3,000 buy-in field ever

  • Event #86: Mystery Bounty Pot-Limit Omaha drew 5,284 entries, establishing itself as the largest PLO field in live tournament poker history

  • 57 events exceeded $2+ million prize pools – An all-time record for the series

  • 9 events exceeded $10+ million prize pools – An all-time record for the series

Although this year’s summer tournament is over, the excitement continues with the WSOP Circuit (WSOP-C) 2025 Season Part 2 already underway, and the return of WSOP Paradise this winter in the Bahamas from Dec. 4 to 18. Additionally, WSOP Europe (WSOP-E) runs from Sept. 12 to Oct. 8, with the WSOP-E Main Event beginning on Oct. 3.
