PlayAGS, a prominent supplier of slot, table, and interactive gaming products, has received shareholder approval for an acquisition by affiliates of Brightstar Capital Partners. The decision was made during a recent stockholders’ meeting, where the merger was a key agenda item. PlayAGS plans to disclose the final voting results with the US Securities and Exchange Commission via a Form 8-K filing.
PlayAGS outlined the terms of the merger, stating, “The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of regulatory approvals.” Once finalized, AGS will become a privately held entity, and its common stock will no longer be publicly traded.
Expanding Market Presence
In addition to the acquisition news, PlayAGS has been actively expanding its market presence. Recently, the company entered into a partnership with FanDuel, making its games available in New Jersey, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. Celebrating the collaboration, AGS shared on social media, “AGS is excited to partner with top US online casino operator FanDuel Casino to host its chart-topping content library now live in Pennsylvania, Michigan and New Jersey.”
PlayAGS has also been growing its footprint in the US market by securing approval to offer its electronic gaming machines (EGMs) to casino operators in Colorado and Missouri. This expansion allows casino patrons in both states to enjoy a diverse selection of AGS titles.
