Gaming Corps secures access to NHL Legends through partnership with PlayWin
Gaming Corps AB (publ) (the "Company" or "Gaming Corps") today announces that it has entered into an agreement with North American sports and entertainment company PlayWin. Through the partnership, Gaming Corps secures access to the NHL Alumni Association license, representing more than 1,000 retired NHL players. The collaboration will initially include the development of two games, a hockey shootout title and a casino slot, featuring some of the greatest hockey players of all time.
The partnership combines PlayWin's portfolio of legendary athletes with Gaming Corps' expertise in developing premium slots and non-traditional games. Together, the companies aim to create a new generation of sports-themed gaming experiences, combining iconic athlete intellectual property with innovative game mechanics for players across regulated markets, particularly in North America and the Nordics.
