Toronto, ON – December 4, 2015: 5050 Central Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaming Nation Inc. (FAN-TSXV), is pleased to announce that the company has reached agreements with the New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes of the National Hockey League and their respective foundations.
Each partnership will see both teams utilize 5050 Central’s industry leading real-time 50/50 raffle system. Proceeds from the Islanders raffles at the Barclays Center will support the Islanders Children’s Foundation, which is dedicated to supporting the youth of the local community by providing opportunities to children.

Fans can purchase tickets through fixed touch-screen terminals and mobile devices providing faster transaction times, longer selling periods, accountability and substantial increases in average raffle proceeds.

Scott Secord, President/CEO of Gaming Nation stated, “We are excited to work with two more NHL franchises and their related foundations. We are confident the results of the 50/50 raffles will exceed expectations and these fundraising efforts will assist both foundations in their charitable giving initiatives.”
