Per the multiyear agreement, ViewSonic will outfit all HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas gaming stations, including in the main arena and front lobby, with 27-inch ViewSonic ELITE XG270 monitors, and provide two 50-inch ViewSonic® CDE5010 4K Ultra HD displays for the recently renovated Streamer Room at the venue’s front entrance. ViewSonic will also provide ELITE XG270 monitors for the Allied Esports Truck in North America.

“As pandemic restrictions have eased and event dates are now filling up, the timing couldn’t be better to bring on a partner like ViewSonic, whose premium products will significantly enhance the gaming experience at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas,” said Jud Hannigan, CEO of Allied Esports. “We’re thrilled to welcome ViewSonic to our family of partners and excited to continue to provide our guests with a setup that takes their gameplay to the next level.”

ViewSonic branding will be presented throughout HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas, including in the Streamer Room, on the main arena’s 50-foot LED wall, and on the Champions Circle digital display. ViewSonic will receive marketing and promotional support through weekly social media posts and email distributions, as well as logo placement on the venue’s official website. ViewSonic will also receive 30-second spots, billboards and logo rotation during Allied Esports’ weekly community broadcasts produced from HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas. Furthermore, ViewSonic will receive a 15-second spot that runs prior to the start of each gaming station session throughout the venue.

“This is a very special time for ViewSonic and ViewSonic Gaming,” said Jeff Volpe, president of ViewSonic Americas. “We’re excited to be a part of the Allied Esports family of sponsors and thrilled that this opportunity will get our world class gaming monitors into the hands of the best gamers from around the globe at the HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas. ViewSonic has exciting new ELITE gaming products coming to market later this year. This Allied Esports and HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas sponsorship is just the beginning of our growth and reach in esports and gaming overall.”

ViewSonic is committed to delivering a fun and reliable experience for console and PC gaming. The ELITE gaming monitors are passionately developed and engineered for all gamers, from professionals and enthusiasts to beginners and casual players, to be competitive at all levels.

ViewSonic is dedicated to growing with the gaming industry by offering support within esports through education and by partnering with and sponsoring teams, brands, influencers, and programs throughout the world.

Allied Esports unveiled the new monitors at HyperX Esports Arena Las Vegas on Saturday, May 15 during the 100th edition of Saturday Night Speedway featuring Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

Published

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.

Let me be perfectly clear

Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.

Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.

We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.

We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.

To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.

 

Sincerely

Matt Zamroźniak

Chief Executive Officer

Prime Skill Games Inc.
