Scout Gaming Group AB announces that the Company successfully has completed two directed share issues amounting to approximately SEK 75 million, corresponding to approximately 3 million shares in the Company.

The Board of directors of Scout has, based on the authorization granted by the Annual General Meeting on May 25, 2020, resolved on a directed share issue of 1,835,062 shares through a so-called accelerated “book building” procedure (the ”Share Issue”) and on a directed share issue to the existing Santa Monica-based institutional investor Topline Capital Partners Ltd, of 1,200,000 shares (the “Directed Share Issue”). The Company receives approximately SEK 45 million before transaction costs from the Share Issue and approximately SEK 30 million before transaction costs from the Directed Share Issue, equal to a total amount of approximately SEK 75 million.

The Share Issue was substantially oversubscribed, and the subscription price has been set to SEK 25 per share through the accelerated book building procedure, which corresponds to a 14.6 percent premium compared to the average volume-weighted price of the Company’s share on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market over the past 30 trading days. The subscription price in the Directed Share Issue has been set to the same price as in the Share Issue.

The Share Issue was directed to Swedish and international institutional investors. In order to facilitate the execution of the Share Issue, the new shares have initially been subscribed for by ABG Sundal Collier AB at a price corresponding to the shares’ quota value. The shares will be transferred to the new and existing shareholders in the Company in accordance with agreements entered between ABG Sundal Collier and the actual investors. Subscribers in the in the Share Issue among others were the German institutional investor Lloyds AG, Provobis and Knutsson Holding. In connection with received payment from investors in the Share Issue, which is expected to occur around July 23, 2020, the Company will receive the remaining amount, i.e. the difference between the quota value and the price in the Share Issue.

“Scout Gaming is in an intensive growth phase establishing the DFS vertical globally. We are at the same time launching many new products and markets, just recently esport had a warm welcome. I’m sure that we trough this placing can capture additional market possibilities to accelerate the growth even more rapidly. I’m very pleased to attract both new and existing institutional investors as well as sector specialists”, comments Scout’s CEO Andreas Ternström.

The reason for the deviation from the shareholders’ preferential rights is mainly to raise capital in a time- and cost-efficient manner and to widen the institutional owner base. Through the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue, Scout’s financial position will be further strengthened and enable and accelerate growth as well as a continued product development.

After the registration of the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue, the total number of shares in the Company will amount to 20,536,654 shares. The Company’s share capital will increase with SEK 159,740.12 to SEK 1,080,876.56. The Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue entails a dilution of approximately 15 percent of the number of shares in Scout after the Share Issue and the Directed Share Issue.

In connection with the Share Issue, the Company has appointed ABG Sundal Collier as Sole Lead Manager and Bookrunner and Advokatfirman Delphi as legal counsel.

Studio’s latest classic slot delivers exhilarating bonus action against a glamorous TV gameshow backdrop, with cascading reels adding to the excitement

Have you got what it takes to take on the Prize Ladder and come out on top? That’s the question players must answer before taking on the latest classic slot title from in-demand content house, Northern Lights Gaming.

Bright lights and big wins are the order of the day in Prize Ladder, a game-show style blockbuster that promises twists and turns from the very first game round to the last.

Set on a vibrant stage with dazzling neon lights and a booming announcer voice, this ANYWAYS Rolling Reels game pays both left-to-right and right-to-left.

ANYWAYS Rolling Reels is triggered on any win and kick-starts a cascade where winning symbols are removed and new ones roll in, opening up chances for more consecutive wins.

The excitement builds with the Prize Ladder™ itself, which increases the value of winning symbols with every consecutive cascade in a single spin. And if a Padlock symbol lands on the final cascade, those juicy symbol values get locked in for the next spin.

This wouldn’t be a Northern Lights Gaming slot without a glitzy Free Spins bonus, which gets triggered when three or more Scatter symbols land. This gets the player eight Free Games with the Awards Cards held for the duration.

Then there’s the Super Spins, which are triggered when the player lands a full reel of the same symbol with Star overprints on reels one or five.

One whole reel of the same symbol also has a chance to trigger the Super Spins. The reels then spin in more of that symbol across the reels. Each position that is not held, spins, with either the triggering symbol, blank or Scatters.

Additional symbols and Scatters that land are held on the reels, and for each Super Spin, the Prize Ladder award rolls up one level.

Now for the Buy the Bonus options – players can Booster Buy, which increases the chance of triggering the Free Spins, Super Spins and the Padlock Bonus, or they can opt for the Bonus Buy to head straight to the Free Spins, Super Spins or Super Free Spins.

Chris Loftus CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Prize Ladder is a classic slot that plays more like a bonus-heavy video slot. It’s a game that’s all about the glitz and glamour, and climbing that ladder to unlock the game’s biggest bonuses and wins.

“The entire team has really pulled together for Prize Ladder, and the result is a visually striking slot with gameplay that gets pulses racing thanks to a smart combination of mechanics and bonuses, including some of our unique in-house features like Rolling Reels.

“Think your players are ready to take on the Prize Ladder? There’s only one way to find out.”

On October 15th, EEGS hosted a dynamic webinar titled “Winning over Gen Z: How to Engage the Next Generation of Players”, featuring renowned speaker Ana D’Arrigo. This session marked the first webinar since the summer break and was highly anticipated.

The webinar was a practical, experience-based discussion, enriched with real-world examples from leading companies. Ana shared valuable insights drawn from her personal experience, offering attendees actionable strategies to connect with the elusive Gen Z audience.

The session commenced with a thorough exploration of “Who are Gen Z?” – the first digital natives, highly tech-savvy, and increasingly challenging to target through traditional marketing. Ana highlighted that Gen Z-ers are distinct: they prioritize authenticity, lead with purpose, express themselves creatively, value transparency, are entrepreneurial, and driven by their values. Despite having short attention spans, they engage deeply when content resonates with them.

A key takeaway from the webinar was the shift needed in marketing approaches: “To win Gen Z, stop marketing to them – start creating with them,” a powerful insight echoed by ChatGPT and emphasized by Ana. Instead of mass marketing, personalized, authentic content that involves Gen Z in the creation process is essential.

Further, Ana discussed the future of marketing to Gen Z, emphasizing ongoing engagement and authenticity. She actively engaged with the audience, responding to intriguing questions and fostering a lively discussion.
