("Amaya) (TSX: AYA), an entertainment solutions provider for the
regulated gaming industry, announced today that its subsidiary
Cadillac Jack has received approval
from New Jersey's Division of
Gaming Enforcement (the "DGE") to utilize its Genesis DV1 slot

engaged to trial them.

entertainment value to their patrons," said Mauro Franic, COO of Cadillac Jack.
