The deal is with River Game Operations, a subsidiary of River iGaming, and marks an extension of Gaming Realms’ relationship with the Norwegian firm after 70% of its Real Money Casino brands were purchased by iGaming’s British subsidiary River UK Casino earlier in the year for around £23.1mln.

Following the sale, Gaming Realms now has a 30% stake in River UK.
