Coming adaption:
According to an official Thursday press release published by European Gaming Media and Events, the Espelkamp-headquartered behemoth declared that the purchase will enable its Blueprint Gaming mobile and online casino games development arm ‘to strengthen and diversify its already robust games portfolio’ by adapting several retail slots from Project Coin Machines Limited for use in the iGaming space.
Experienced acquisition:
