Merkur Group to acquire White Hat Studios in US iGaming expansion. The German gambling company agreed to buy the online casino game developer as it grows its North American presence. German gambling company Merkur Group announced Wednesday it agreed to acquire online casino slots developer White Hat Studios as it continues to expand its presence in the North American regulated market. Key takeaways. * Merkur Group agreed to acquire U.S. online slots developer White Hat Studios. * The transaction excludes White Hat Gaming's platform and white-label businesses and is subject to regulatory approval. * The acquisition expands Merkur Group's presence in the regulated U.S. iGaming market. White Hat Studios, the content arm of White Hat Gaming founded in 2021, supplies online casino games to operators such as Hard Rock Bet and Caesars Entertainment in U.S. jurisdictions. It became the first content provider to launch online slots in each of the seven U.S. states where online casino gaming is regulated.
