Evolution has terminated its $85 million acquisition of Galaxy Gaming after two years of regulatory delays, paying a $5.2 million termination fee. The deal collapse signals regulatory friction in gaming M&A and leaves Galaxy seeking alternative options or further timeline extensions.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you're a gaming supplier below $100m in value, regulatory approval just became your problem, not just your buyer's. Evolution walked away from Galaxy because two state gaming commissions wouldn't sign off—that's a two-year dead cost, and now Galaxy has to find another home or pivot.
