Evolution and Galaxy have pushed their merger deadline into mid-2026 as they continue to work through remaining regulatory steps. The Evolution Galaxy merger remains on track, with both sides signalling confidence in a Q1 2026 approval window. The deal aims to bring the two businesses together while keeping Galaxy’s culture intact.

• Evolution and Galaxy agreed to extend the merger “outside date” to 17 July 2026. The companies said the move supports ongoing regulatory reviews across multiple U.S. jurisdictions. Evolution repeated that Galaxy will run as an independent business unit once the deal closes.

• The companies expect to secure the remaining approvals needed for the Evolution Galaxy merger during Q1 2026. Mississippi approval was granted in November 2025, giving the companies further momentum. Both sides said they will continue working closely with state regulators to meet the Gaming Approval Closing Condition.

• Evolution CEO Martin Carlesund said the extension reflects respect for the regulatory process. He added that combining the two “complementary businesses” will expand Evolution’s overall offering. “Galaxy Gaming’s innovative products and technology will strengthen Evolution’s position,” Carlesund said.

• Galaxy Gaming CEO Matt Reback highlighted the commercial upside expected after closing. He said Evolution’s global infrastructure will help accelerate growth across land-based and online segments. Reback also pointed to ongoing joint work that supports future omni-channel development.

• Galaxy Gaming currently holds 131 licences worldwide, including 28 in the U.S. The company develops table games, bonusing systems and digital content for physical and online casinos. Its Galaxy Gaming Digital arm licenses proprietary table games across global igaming markets.
