Bragg Gaming Appoints Former Chair Of Ontario Lottery And Gaming Corp. Paul Godfrey As Interim CEO

Bragg to embark on strategic review of the overall organization
Global gaming technology and content provider Bragg Gaming Group announces that Paul Godfrey, Chair of the Board of Directors, has been appointed to the role of Interim CEO of Bragg Gaming, effective November 15, 2021. Bragg founder and former Interim CEO Adam Arviv will take on the role of Special Advisor to the Chair and CEO. Oryx founder and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Bragg MatevĹľ Mazij will also play an integral role in the organization. Richard Carter will step down from the CEO role, effective immediately.
The Board of Bragg Gaming has made the decision to embark upon a strategic review of the overall Company, including the immediate restructuring of the CEO role. The Company’s exceptional performance over the past six quarters includes consistently exceeding revenue and growth targets. While peers continue to trade and transact at significantly higher multiples, Bragg’s continued strong growth has yet to be reflected in the Company’s public market performance, and the Board has determined that a search for new CEO is required.
Paul Godfrey, Chair of the Board of Bragg, has agreed to take on the role of CEO until a replacement is named. Mr. Godfrey is a renowned business leader and Canadian politician, recently holding the role of President and CEO of Postmedia Network and continuing to act as Chair of Postmedia, a company he founded. Mr. Godfrey also previously held the roles of Publisher and CEO of Sun Media and President and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays. He is a recipient of the Order of Canada and of the Order of Ontario.
“While the global online gaming industry continues to grow exponentially, the North American opportunity is a game changer,” said Mr. Godfrey.  “Bragg’s technology and content is well-positioned to take advantage of this new market’s potential and although Bragg’s operations have continued to outperform over recent quarters, the capital markets strategy has not translated into shareholder value. Developing this alignment will be our top priority and absolutely requires a strategic review.”

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt ZamroĹşniak
