Raw iGaming adds “hidden gem” with Sapphire Gaming acquisition
Raw iGaming has acquired Sapphire Gaming, which the company claims will “boost” its game production capacity, among other benefits.
By bringing Sapphire’s technology under the Raw umbrella, the company is purportedly on track to achieve its “ambitious goals in 2022 and beyond.”
Sapphire Gaming will, according to Raw, play an “instrumental” role in the delivery of its SuperSlice games, as well as the company’s next patent-pending engine, which will soon be unveiled.
Raw and Sapphire’s CEOs, Tom Wood and Alec Horley respectively, expressed optimism regarding their companies’ new, shared future.
“I am so happy and proud to be able to work with one of the smartest, hidden minds in the iGaming industry, Alec Horley, including his brilliant Sapphire team, which will continue their work in our new office based in the UK,” remarked Wood.
“Alec and his team will work on innovative game mechanics, develop new technologies, support external partners around our new aggregation platform in Leander and will boost our existing game studio capacity in Malaga.”
Horley, meanwhile, said: “We couldn’t be more excited to join forces with Raw and the team is thrilled to be part of this amazing journey, which is about shaking up the industry and standing out in a sea of sameness.
“Having worked with Tom for many years and seeing his vision for Raw, we already know we will continue to develop innovative, differentiated game engines and new never-before-seen technologies which will push the boundaries of gaming further.”
