Matevz Mazij Is The MD of Oryx Gaming International LLC & Director of Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (CVE:BRAG) And They Just Picked Up 2,350% More Shares

Bragg Gaming Group Inc. (CVE:BRAG) shareholders (or potential shareholders) will be happy to see that the MD of Oryx Gaming International LLC & Director, Matevz Mazij, recently bought a whopping CA$34m worth of stock, at a price of CA$0.73. That increased their holding by a full 2,350%, which arguably implies the sort of confidence required for a shy sweet-natured nerd to ask the most popular kid in the school to go out on a date.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Bragg Gaming Group

In fact, the recent purchase by Matevz Mazij was the biggest purchase of Bragg Gaming Group shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (CA$2.54), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.

Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.

So What Do The Bragg Gaming Group Insider Transactions Indicate?

The recent insider purchases are heartening. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. Once you factor in the high insider ownership, it certainly seems like insiders are positive about Bragg Gaming Group. That's what I like to see! While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
