In a move that solidifies its dominant position in the digital table games space, Galaxy Gaming (OTC: GLXZ) announced on 04.05. that it has signed a multi-year contract extension with Netco Ltd. The deal ensures that Galaxy Gaming remains the exclusive global distributor for Perfect Pairs® across all online platforms.
The agreement covers both Live Dealer and Random Number Generator (RNG) formats, allowing Galaxy to remain the sole gatekeeper for the iconic side bet for online casino operators (B2C) and developers (B2B) worldwide.
A Powerhouse Partnership Renewed
Perfect Pairs is widely considered one of the “blue chips” of casino side bets. Its simple yet addictive mechanic—rewarding players if their first two cards result in a Mixed, Colored, or Perfect Pair—has made it a staple in blackjack and baccarat pits for years.
By locking in the online rights, Galaxy Gaming is doubling down on a proven winner.
“Perfect Pairs is one of the industry’s most enduring and successful side bets,” said Matt Reback, President and CEO of Galaxy Gaming. “Extending our agreement with Netco underscores the strength of the brand and our shared commitment to its continued growth online.”
Why This Matters for the Industry
For the gaming world, this isn’t just a routine paperwork shuffle. It represents a strategic win for both companies:
- For Galaxy Gaming: It reinforces their “Digital First” strategy. As the world’s leading independent licensor of proprietary table games, maintaining exclusive rights to a “must-have” title like Perfect Pairs provides significant leverage with global operators.
- For Netco Ltd: It keeps its intellectual property in the hands of a distributor with a massive reach. John Wicks, the inventor of Perfect Pairs and CEO of Netco, noted that Galaxy’s established distribution networks make them the “ideal partner” to progress the game’s global expansion.
Looking Ahead: Growth Amidst Evolution
While the focus of this announcement is the Perfect Pairs extension, the backdrop of the deal is equally interesting. Galaxy Gaming is currently navigating a high-profile acquisition by Evolution Malta Holding Limited, a subsidiary of the industry giant Evolution AB.
Despite the pending merger and the complexities of global gaming regulations, today’s announcement signals “business as usual” for Galaxy. The company continues to aggressively defend and expand its portfolio, which currently spans over 130 licenses across 28 U.S. states and 30 countries.
For players and online operators, the takeaway is clear: the “Perfect Pair” of Galaxy and Netco isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
