Toronto, ON – March 14, 2018: 5050 Central Ltd. (“the Company”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gaming Nation Inc., is extremely pleased to announce that the Company reached an agreement with Smilezone Foundation to implement 50/50 raffles using 5050 Central’s digital platform during Raptors 905 games at Hershey Centre.
