Michael Ahearne, board member of Gaming Innovation Group Inc. (GiG) on Wednesday announced his resignation as director of the company with effect from today.

Mr Ahearne joined the board on 1st April 2022 following SkyCity Entertainment Group becoming shareholder in GiG in connection with the acquisition of Sportnco Gaming SAS.
