"Everyone's flocking to our games, but without restaurants and cruises our core proposition was impacted"

Social casino company Playstudios has gone public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC). The company develops social casino games, mainly slot machine games where players do not earn real money. Playstudios stocks are being closely watched to see if they will perform well. Other gaming companies, such as Playtika, Huuuge, and SciPlay, have also recently gone public. Playstudios Israeli operations are based on the activities of the local company Shaker, which it acquired in 2016. Playstudios holds licenses to use brands of known casinos, like MGM, and offers a player loyalty program with real-world prizes. The company has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the prizes offered can no longer be redeemed due to travel restrictions.
