White Hat Gaming creates new division White Hat Studios™ to deliver casino content to US
Gaming platform provider White Hat Gaming has created a new casino content division, White Hat Studios™, which will make some of Europe’s market-leading slots, jackpots and RNG table content available to the American market for the first time.
The creation of White Hat Studios™ follows on from the announcement three weeks ago that White Hat Gaming had made an asset purchase of Blueprint Gaming’s catalogue of games and RGS for the US market.
The standalone division is separate to White Hat Gaming’s PAM business and is led by an outstanding commercial and operations team that combines experience from leading gaming suppliers, including NetEnt and Novomatic.
The new division will offer hundreds of slots, jackpots, RNG table and instant-win titles, with a roadmap that will consistently deliver new games and market-leading jackpot mechanics.
White Hat Studios™ will go live with its first operators in Q1 2022, with planned state launches next year in Connecticut, Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Operators in these states can also expect to benefit from promotional tools, localised slot and table content specifically designed for US players, as well as the ability to offer bespoke operator-branded slots and table content.
Andy Whitworth, Chief Commercial Officer at White Hat Gaming, said: “We are delighted at the incredibly positive and enthusiastic response from operators to this new venture. We are moving at record pace and are excited to be able to offer content from one of Europe’s number-one suppliers to the US market for the first time.
“We cannot wait to offer our players top titles such as Eye of Horus™ and Ted™, alongside Europe’s most popular jackpot product.”
The renowned Mexican operator Logrand has installed Zitro’s new CONCEPT cabinets and a selection of its latest games at the New York Casino in Monterrey.
Building on its global success, the CONCEPT cabinet line stands out for its Magic Lighting, immersing players in a synchronized light display, resulting in a unique sensory experience. Furthermore, the cabinet’s large Screen Deck blends comfort with intuitive functionality, optimizing the experience for players and operational teams.
The installation of the CONCEPT cabinets is complemented by the addition of the medieval-themed multi-game Legendary Sword, in which players can double their prizes through unique mechanics with the help of a magic sword.
On the other hand, Fairyland Quest takes players to an enchanted forest where Magic Mushrooms give access to a different bonus each, while a friendly Fairy will give a special bonus that doubles the playing area.
Juan David Baracaldo, Director of Operations and Product, highlighted: “The addition of Zitro’s CONCEPT cabinets is a great step to continue offering unique and high-quality experiences to our players. The unique combination of technology, spectacular graphics, and the experience these cabinets offer will further elevate our casino’s entertainment offering.”
For his part, Johnny Ortiz Viveiros, founder of Zitro, expressed: “We are very excited to strengthen our partnership with Logrand, a strategic partner that shares our vision of providing exceptional gaming experiences. The new CONCEPT cabinets and games like Legendary Sword and Fairyland Quest are just the beginning of what will transform how players enjoy entertainment.”
Sky River Casino has announced that an Elk Grove resident has won a whopping $511,311 while playing progressive blackjack on March 31, 2025. The Sky River Rewards member hit the big win after playing the table game for less than an hour.
“Our progressive table games and slot machines continue to be really hot here at Sky River Casino. Our players have had an impressive number of life-changing jackpots and our winning streak continues. We look forward to the next big win and welcome adults near and far to visit to explore and enjoy our high-energy atmosphere, lively promotions, exciting gaming, and unparalleled dining experiences,” said Michael J. Facenda, President of Sky River Casino.
The lucky local guest plans to use her winnings to renovate a kitchen and build a house back home.
“Without question, the best part of my job is watching our valued members and guests experience jaw dropping wins like this one. We all share in the incredible excitement that is absolutely contagious and can be felt throughout the casino,” said Charleen Ripley, VP of Casino Operations for Sky River Casino.
