Game Play Network, Inc. announced the closing of a new round of funding with strategic investments by HG Vora and other investors in the gaming and entertainment industry.

“HG Vora Capital is excited to make our initial investment in Game Play Network, a truly innovative company in the digital gaming space that opens large iGaming and other market opportunities for its B2B partners,” said Parag Vora, HG Vora’s founder and portfolio manager. “Based on our experience investing across the gaming ecosystem, we see great potential for GPN to create mutually beneficial partnerships in the space.”

“We are grateful to HG Vora, our other investors and our strategic partners who have supported our vision to allow the majority of the country to enjoy a legal way to play casino and social games for real money,” said David Marshall, Game Play Network’s CEO and Co-Founder.
