NYX Gaming Group has acquired the Montréal-based Side City development studio through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NYX Digital Gaming (Alberta) Inc. for a consideration of 333,000 ordinary shares of NYX and a maximum performance-based cash payment of CAD $4.0 million conditional upon Side City meeting certain performance criteria for the 2016 and 2017 calendar years.

“Further, Side City gives us unique content for the North American market that complements our existing North American business and gives us an entry point to the United States land-based market with existing customer relationships."
