Amaya Slots and Casinos

Amaya Gaming began its journey 19 years ago. The company expanded to the extent that its shares even traded. Its shares traded on Nasdaq as well as the Toronto stock exchange.

In its early days, Amaya Gaming concerned itself with mostly electronic table games. These games included bingo, horse racing, and mahjong. As the company expanded, certain deals made, assisted to facilitate strategic growth.

One of these agreements led to a platform that allowed customers to purchase lottery tickets from their mobile devices. Some first countries where this was allowed are Kenya, Uganda, and the Dominican Republic.

As Amaya Gaming’s level of market stability increased, it acquired other businesses such as Chartwell Technologies, CryptoLogic, and Cadillac Jack. These acquisitions assisted the company in its global expansion plans.

In 2014 Amaya Gaming was named TSX Tech Stock Of The Year at the Cantech Letter Awards. In June 2014 the provider announced that they would purchase the world's largest online poker company, known as the Oldford Group.

The deal was closed on the first of August 2014. This transaction made Amaya Gaming the largest publicly traded gambling company in the world. After a relatively good spell of growth, Amaya Gaming came into some legal trouble with Canadian regulators, which led the CEO of the company to resign.

In 2015 a court in Kentucky declared that the provider should pay $870million in penalties to cover alleged losses, but the decision was overturned in 2018. On the first of August 2017, Amaya Gaming took the decision to change its name to the Stars Group.

In May 2019 the Stars Group entered into an agreement with Fox Sports. The mutual goal of this agreement was to develop sports betting platforms for the US market. Shortly after this agreement was reached, Flutter Entertainment acquired the Stars Group.

This acquisition was complete in May 2020. After its merger with Flutter Entertainment, the Stars Group shares are no longer traded on Nasdaq and the Toronto Stock Exchange.
