NACON ANNOUNCES NORTH AMERICAN INTRODUCTION OF REVOLUTION X CONTROLLER FOR XBOX® SERIES X|S, XBOX® ONE AND WINDOWS® PC

Available Now at Best Buy, Walmart, Target, GameStop and Amazon

NACON, leaders in premium gaming hardware and parent of RIG gaming accessories, announced today the North American introduction of the Revolution X controller for Xbox® Series X|S, Xbox® One and Windows® PC, available now for a recommended retail price of $99.99 .

Following a successful launch across select European territories, the highly acclaimed Revolution X controller is 'Designed for Xbox®', fully licensed and the result of years of development. Working with Microsoft® and the esports community, the Revolution X is the latest edition to Nacon's Revolution Series of professional controllers and is designed to meet the demands of any game, delivering a competitive edge.

Engineered with quality components and thoughtful design, this is no mere gamepad. The Revolution X controller delivers notably superior performance during competitive play, offering over 40 customization options both physical and via a dedicated App, ensuring the controller adapts to the gamer.

Gamers are invited to install the companion App from the Microsoft® Store for Xbox® or Windows® to unleash the full potential of the controller. Via a user-friendly interface, gamers can create their own advanced profiles, allowing every aspect of their gaming experience to be tailored to their preference. Options include full button mapping, shortcut assignment, response curve and dead zone adjustment for both thumb sticks. Variable trigger intensity, inversion of the thumb stick axis, four-or eight-way D-Pad adjustment, controller vibration intensity and even optional back lit illumination for the right thumb stick, are all available to players. Using the App, gamers can store up to four individual profiles via the on-board memory of the controller, tweaking their settings manually or installing one of the many pre-set configurations supplied by NACON.

The Revolution X takes control to the next level, allowing players to swap out key physical components to suit their play style or choice of game, stacking these features on top of the standard features expected on a typical controller. Both thumb sticks are fully adjustable and easily removed to offer a range of interchangeable concave and convex options. On the rear of the controller, four shortcut buttons are fully programmable, providing easy access to otherwise complex in-game instructions. Like it light or have it heavy, with the Revolution X, the choice is yours thanks to the removable weight system concealed in the textured hand grips, allowing for the perfect controller experience sans fatigue.

The competition grade credentials of the Revolution X continue with the 3m long detachable cable providing a solid connection, free from external interference or the risk of in-game dropout, and with both the controller and cable fitting neatly into the sturdy carry case included, travelling with a fully customized controller has never been easier.

Any competitive gamer will attest to the importance of in-game audio, crucial for detecting enemy positions, tracking teammates via their voice and sensing impending danger. The Revolution X benefits from Dolby® Atmos™ for Headphones. Activated via a free download of the Dolby® Atmos™ App, gamers can utilize any standard wired or wireless headset for the latest spatial audio technology, with the Revolution X companion App providing even more audio options, such as active noise cancellation for chat and audio gain settings for the microphone.

Commenting on the North American introduction of the Revolution X controller, Jack Reynolds , President NACON Gaming USA said, "Competitive Xbox players looking for a precision controller with advanced customization options will find the perfect fit with the new Revolution X from NACON. Our team took it upon themselves to create a controller designed to deliver a real competitive edge. The Revolution X allows gamers to demonstrably improve their skills and win with a range of customizable options and superior engineering perfected for players who take their favorite pastime seriously."

NorthStar Gaming Announces Plans to Launch Betting Platform Canada-Wide

NorthStarBets.com site set to go live across the country

NorthStar Gaming Holdings Inc. (TSXV: BET) ("NorthStar", or the "Company") is pleased to announce that its online casino and sportsbook will soon be available across Canada with the launch of NorthStarBets.com in the coming weeks. Debuting in Ontario in May 2022, the NorthStar Bets gaming platform will go live in every Canadian province and territory.

"We are thrilled to take this groundbreaking step and become a truly national brand. As a Canadian company, we are confident we understand local consumers better than the large international competitors and that we offer a premium experience that best meets their needs," said Michael Moskowitz, Chair and CEO of NorthStar Gaming. "We expect the Canada-wide launch to be an important catalyst that drives growth in our customer base and revenues for years to come."

"That's a Win"

NorthStar has begun a multi-channel promotional campaign to create awareness of the brand among Canadians. With the tagline "That's a Win," the campaign emphasizes the premium gaming experience delivered by NorthStarBets.com. In addition to national advertising and social media, consumers can expect to see in-market promotions over the next two months built around major events across various regions of the country.

Premium gaming experience

The NorthStar Bets brand promise is to deliver a premium gaming experience that is differentiated from alternatives in several important respects. Real-time sports news, statistics, analysis and proprietary editorial content is integrated directly in the NorthStar betting environment. Personalized customer service is designed to achieve rapid resolution of any issues. The platform is built on best-of-breed gaming content and technology from leading global providers. Most recently, the Company announced the integration of Artificial Intelligence capabilities that will help tailor the experience to the specific preferences of individual users.

Key strategic milestone

The national launch is expected to significantly expand NorthStar's addressable market and accelerate its growth. The Canadian online sports betting and iGaming market is estimated to reach $8.5 billion by 2026, and more than 60% of the market is outside Ontario.¹ A growing customer base will leverage the Company's investments in highly scalable infrastructure, human resources, proprietary content and marketing. Furthermore, building the brand and customer base across the country will help ensure NorthStar is well positioned as provinces establish their regulatory frameworks.

NorthStarBets.com will be offered through a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company² acquired earlier this year with the purchase of Slapshot Media Inc. as the first step towards national expansion.

NorthStar customers in Ontario will continue to access the platform through the existing NorthStarBets.ca website.
