LAS VEGAS, Sept. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PlayAGS, Inc.
(NYSE: AGS) ("AGS" or the "Company"), a leading designer and
supplier of electronic gaming machines, table products, and
interactive solutions for the global gaming industry, today became
the first gaming equipment supplier to enter into a multi-year
corporate partnership with the Vegas Golden Knights National Hockey
League franchise.
AGS will leverage this monumental corporate partnership, which
allows AGS to sponsor the all-new "Play of the Game" feature at
every Vegas Golden Knights home game on the videoboard, as part of
its community outreach and employee engagement programs. The
AGS Play of the Game will replay and highlight a key moment from
each home game.
Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry
Bubolz said, "Adding the fastest-growing gaming equipment
supplier to our roster of team partners is a big milestone for our
organization and we couldn't be more thrilled about partnering with
AGS. AGS has a renowned corporate culture and expanding global
reach, enabling us to connect our brand to their employees and
customers in Las Vegas, across the
country, and around the world."
AGS President and Chief Executive Officer David Lopez said, "AGS employees have been huge
Golden Knights fans from the team's inception, and we are excited
to take our support and love for this team to another level as
corporate partners, working together with the Golden Knights and
other corporate partners such as Caesars Entertainment, MGM
Resorts, Station Casinos, and The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, to name a few, to truly demonstrate
our mutual obsession with the game."
Lopez added, "Like the Las Vegas Golden Knights, we are
'Vegas-proud', with our worldwide headquarters in the Las Vegas
Valley. And there are other similarities – we are relatively new
players in the gaming supplier space and we have certainly been
underestimated. Both AGS and the Golden Knights formed strong
teams, came together quickly under a set of unique core values, and
have never lost sight that winning is all about a cohesive team and
character-driven culture."
AGS will officially launch its Vegas Golden Knights partnership
at the Global Gaming Expo ("G2E") in Las
Vegas Oct. 9-11 and will host
appearances by the Golden Aces and the team mascot Chance the Gila
monster, as well as other hockey-themed promotions and
events. Additionally, AGS will unveil a Vegas Golden Knights
promotional-use slot machine on its large-format Big Red
cabinet to further promote and build excitement around the
partnership and showcase Vegas Golden Knights-themed roulette
signage in its G2E booth No. 1253.
Along with sponsorship of the Play of the Game at all 44 Vegas
Golden Knights pre-season, regular-season, and any post-season
games, AGS will provide a title-night sponsorship and partner with
the team and its ambassadors to promote the sport and the Vegas
Golden Knights' passion for the Las Vegas Valley through the
Company's outreach with not-for-profit community organizations.
