April – June 2019

"We launched two new games during the second quarter and Jewels of Rome became our best game launch in the company’s history as the game became number four by daily revenue in our portfolio just a couple weeks after it was released on all major platforms. We also aim to release two more games before the end of the year. Thanks to the development capacity we grew over the past couple years we are on track to release the four new games in 2019 as promised," said Vlad Suglobov, CEO of G5 Entertainment. "The company is in a strong financial position to execute on our strategy and we will continue to manage G5 this way while creating new growth drivers."
