MONTREAL, May 2, 2014 /CNW/ - Amaya Gaming Group Inc. ("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 machine platform and associated hardware and software, including top performing game titles Fire Wolf, Siberian Siren, and Legend of White Buffalo, in the state.
