The Golden Matrix Group Reports a Record-Breaking Q3 Revenue
The GMGI Group reported revenue of $11.3m for the quarter ended 31 July, representing a 24.2% year-on-year increase. Last month, the developer confirmed it fulfilled expectations of record Q3 revenues without disclosing full results.
“We have continued the year with strong momentum and delivered solid results,” Goodman said. “The company achieved record revenues and posted its seventh consecutive quarter with positive cash flow from operations.
“Profitability in Q3 was impacted by several factors… including a significant increase in one-off legal and due-diligence expenses associated with the anticipated acquisition of the MeridianBet Group… as well as the start-up marketing costs related to the roll-out of Mexplay, the company’s B2C online casino in Mexico.”
The MeridianBet takeover
In January, GMGI struck a deal worth about $300m to purchase MeridianBet. Terms were amended in July, with GMGI hoping to complete the deal in Q4.
“We have made important investments during the quarter in systems and people to accelerate the growth of our B2C segments, both RKings and Mexplay,” Goodman added. “At the same time, there was significant progress in seeking to secure the financing required to close the deal for the acquisition of the MeridianBet Group and its related companies.
“Upon the successful acquisition of MeridianBet, the combined enterprise is expected to be generating multiple streams of gaming revenue and profit in regulated jurisdictions worldwide and offering highly popular best-in-class products, including casino games and sports betting.
“Closing of the MeridianBet acquisition will be a watershed event which is expected to catapult Golden Matrix into the global gaming markets as a highly competitive participant.”
The operating costs segment
Revenue contribution from RKings – GMGI’s B2B segment – was $3.7m in Q3, while the contribution from its B2C segment Mexplay was $7.6m.
GMGI took full ownership of RKings in November last year, having initially purchased a majority holding in November 2021.
Gross profit was $2.1m. This resulted from $9.1m in cost of goods sold. Operating costs grew 72.8% year-on-year to $3.0m, bringing the loss to $892,099.
The loss was aided slightly by earned interest of $15.1m, but was affected by $7.6m in interest expense. Following $81.0m in provision for income taxes, the net loss reached its $965,628 total, a $1.6m difference year-on-year.
Aside from the Q3 one-off costs, GMGI recorded a non-cash charge of $931,614 for stock-based compensation.
Meanwhile, adjusted quarterly earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) totalled $161,783 for the quarter.
In the first nine months of GMGI’s financial year, through to the end of July, revenues reached $32.4m – up 22.4% from $26.5m. Gross profit, after $25.7m in cost of goods sold, was $6.6m.
Operating expenses for the year so far added up to $8.3m, up by 62.0%, bringing the operating loss to $1.7m.
Following other income of $67,956 the loss for the nine months was $1.6m, furthered still by tax of $299,071.
The company’s nine-month loss of $1.9m compared to a profit of $1.5m last year.

The latest title in the studio’s popular slot series takes players to the realm of the gods, where the big win potential is mighty
Prepare to embark on an epic adventure where the power of the gods awaits in Unusual Suspects: Legends of Olympus from Northern Lights Gaming. This is the latest instalment in the studio’s hugely popular Unusual Suspects series and promises plenty of divine action.
Players will marvel as Wilds unleash their celestial power, flying over the gods for a chance to trigger the Judgement Day Jackpot. For those who ascend through the pearly gates, Free Spins await, where players ascend the trail to reach the Supreme Legend.
Let’s get into the bonus features in more detail.
Divine Wilds land in the base game and Free Spins and are triggered by the Legend symbols, of which there are five. The Legend determines how the Wilds behave, including turning reels one to four Wild and turning the top and bottom of any reels Wild.
If a Legend symbol lands on top of another Legend symbol or a Wild, a Multiplier gets added up to a maximum of 4x. Boom.
Judgment Day Jackpot is a three-of-a-kind pot bonus triggered by collecting Wild symbols in the base game and Free Spins. Players then get to choose a land to smite, which in turn reveals a Jackpot – reveal three matching Jackpots to win the prize.
The gods are on the side of the player, and that’s why they offer a Bonus Boost. This happens when two Scatters land on reels one and three, adding two tokens into the Bonus Boost Bar. Collect 100 tokens to fill the bar and unlock the bonus, which is the second Landmark on the Free Spins Trail.
Then there’s the Nudging Scatter Respins, which are also triggered when two Scatters drop on reels one and three. When this happens, reels two and four are held, with reels one and two nudging down one row. Reel five then Respins for the chance to hit a Legend symbol.
After each Respin, two tokens are added to the Bonus Boost Bar.
The real action takes place in the Free Spins bonus, which is triggered when two Scatters and a Legend symbol start the Bonus Respin. The Scatters and the Legend expand to cover the reel, and up to two Respins occur on reels two and four for a chance to award two more Scatters.
Two Scatters get the player 10 Free Spins, three Scatters get them 15 Free Spins, and four Scatters get them 20 Free Spins.
While the Free Spins play out, players work their way along a Trail with five Landmarks to uncover. As they hit each Landmark, they get five additional Free Spins plus an increasing Multiplier, up to a max of 10x.
Better still, active Legends can land on the reels for subsequent spins, and each Legend that lands triggers Divine Wilds.
Chris Loftus, Commercial Director, at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “We’ve taken the Unusual Suspects series into the realm of the gods, a hugely popular theme among players in markets around the world.
“Players once again join our hero character, Max Spinwell, but this time on a quest to harness the power of the gods to potentially win big.
“Matching this epic theme is edge-of-the-seat gameplay, provided through a powerful line-up of bonus features including Wild, Multipliers, Jackpots, Free Spins and more. This is a great instalment in the Unusual Suspects franchise, and we can’t wait to see players fire up the reels”
