Merkur Group to Acquire White Hat Studios in US Expansion Push

Merkur Group, the international gaming company, has agreed to acquire White Hat Studios, a slot game developer with a strong footprint in the American market, according to Gambling News. The deal is designed to give Merkur a bigger presence in the US while giving White Hat Studios more resources to grow its own business.

Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed. The move is described as part of Merkur's broader strategy to build out its position in the US gaming industry, joining a growing list of European operators and suppliers looking to establish themselves stateside as more states open up regulated online gaming and betting.

For now, there is no word on when the deal will close or what changes, if any, players might notice in White Hat Studios' game lineup. Level Up will follow up as more details on the acquisition become available.
