In an ever-evolving online gambling industry, responsible gambling practices have emerged as a crucial focus for operators. Among the advocates of responsible gambling is KTO, a leading player in the industry that places a strong emphasis on research and analysis.

The Importance of Responsible Gambling in the Online Gambling Industry

Responsible gambling holds significant importance within the online gambling industry, considering its complex network of operators, game studios, regulators, and players. To make sense of this intricate ecosystem, it is essential to analyze the activities and market trends that shape it.

Furthermore, these games have captured the interest of a substantial portion of active players, with roughly two-thirds of them having tried placing bets on crash-style games. Aviator emerges as the most influential game in KTO’s online casino, acting as a gateway for other casual game titles to enter the real-money gaming scene.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

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.
