White Hat Studios, the fast-growing slots provider to the US iGaming market, has gone live in Pennsylvania with both BetMGM and Borgata simultaneously. These leading iGaming and sports betting operators are the first partnerships for the provider’s entry into the Keystone State’s regulated iGaming market.

Pennsylvania players are now able to access the studio’s impressive library of slots which will be available to licensed operators within Pennsylvania, including flagship branded titles The Goonies and Deal or no Deal, as well as top-performing games Bankin’ Bacon and Wolf Legend Megaways.

Following a hugely successful debut launch in Michigan, its unique games library is already proving hugely popular with US online casino operators and players thanks to its use of familiar brand themes and innovative in-game mechanics and modifiers. This has seen 3 of its top titles feature in the most recent top new slots in Eilers&Krejcik January report, including the coveted number 1 game ranking. This latest launch marks the second US state entry for White Hat Studios, with further rollouts planned for New Jersey, Connecticut and West Virginia over the coming months.

Andy Whitworth, CEO at White Hat Studios said: “Our momentum in the US shows no signs of slowing down, we’re delighted to see our products go live in a second state, Pennsylvania, with both BetMGM and Borgata. With access to some of the industry’s leading slot games, Pennsylvanian operators have an opportunity to diversify and level-up their iGaming offering with content that’s already proven worldwide.’’

“We have high expectations that our content will perform strongly in the Keystone State. The branded titles we have at our disposal are a sure-fire way to attract a new audience, while the mechanics incorporated into our games take the overall narrative of a slot beyond the classic model, introducing players to new and improved experiences.”

Oliver Bartlett, Director of Gaming, BetMGM said: “BetMGM is excited to now offer White Hat Studios slots in Pennsylvania. The content has proven to be popular in Michigan and we are pleased to expand to another state. White Hat Studios continues to raise players expectations for slots and the titles come with strong brand recognition.”

White Hat Studios has strengthened its US proposition further with the addition of a suite of proprietary casino table games from Galaxy Gaming® to its offering.

Blackjack Player’s Choice is to be the first game that will see White Hat’s Studios develop Galaxy Gaming’s world-leading content. Operators will be able to offer players a significantly enhanced Blackjack portfolio, with the addition of six of the world’s best known and most successful side bets – 21+3®, Perfect Pairs ®, Lucky Ladies®, Lucky Lucky ®, Buster Blackjack®, and Suit’em Up.

Annually, Galaxy Gaming sees more than 1.2 billion wagers placed on its Blackjack side bet games as a result of their broad distribution across the world in both brick-and-mortar and online casinos. White Hat’s table game portfolio will benefit substantially from the deal as the company continues to gain ground in regulated US states.

Commenting on the deal, White Hat Studios CEO, Andy Whitworth, said: ‘We’re delighted to be working with Galaxy Gaming. This is a perfect relationship as both companies have such a resolute focus on innovation.

“I’m really excited by our first title Blackjack Players Choice, which is actually a game I’ve wanted to build for years. It gives players true flexibility and choice by allowing them to select which of Galaxy’s side bets they wish to play. We have been blown away by positive operator feedback and are already building operator branded versions of the first game.”

Todd Cravens, President and CEO of Galaxy Gaming, said: “As White Hat Studios grows rapidly in the US, we are thrilled to have our world-famous content as part of their prestigious line-up of games.”

White Hat Studios was created following the asset purchase of Blueprint Gaming’s catalogue of games last year.
