Interblock, a global developer of electronic table games products, has acquired the respective assets from Aruze Gaming America.

The electronic table games assets from Aruze Gaming America will be integrated into the Interblock portfolio of products, as well as increasing the total amount of employees to over 700 worldwide.

This move follows the voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the State of Nevada that was submitted by Aruze Gaming back on 1 February.

Since then, Play Synergy has announced its pending acquisition of the Aruze Gaming America slot operations, including the related sales, service and product assets.

John Connelly, Interblock Global CEO, said: "The Aruze acquisition creates a significant portfolio of innovative synergies we intend to bring to the market before the end of this calendar year.

“Aruze Gaming provides us with a new level of diversity we feel will accelerate our vision to make Interblock synonymous with table game technology.

“As we continue to differentiate ourselves in the gaming industry, this acquisition empowers us to offer a broader range of high-quality, innovative gaming solutions to our valued partners in both a traditional and online offering.”

By acquiring the table game assets from Aruze Gaming America, Interblock also strengthens its position in global markets.

During the transition, Interblock also assures shareholders that operations at the company will continue as usual and any existing teams will remain in place on their respective projects.

Further details of the acquisition are expected to be announced later on.
