Scientific Games Corporation announced the acquisition of Red7Mobile Ltd. (Red7), a Bristol, U.K.-based firm that designs, develops and delivers innovative and award-winning mobile and desktop casino games and sports apps for real-money gaming partners. The acquisition provides Scientific Games with access to a large portfolio of mobile and interactive game titles, including slot games, instant win/scratch cards, and table games.
In addition to game content, Red7 offers a range of sports betting solutions. Its flexible and dynamic sports middleware provides a robust, real-time platform for the development of a range of innovative UX and UI solutions for sports-book web and native apps. Through partnerships with some of the industry’s leading sports feed and odds providers, Red7 provides the essential real-time feeds for in-play stats and betting solutions.
Red7 has existing game, platform and sports partnerships with many of the industry’s leading online gaming and sports betting operators.
“The acquisition of Red7 and its highly creative, talented team is a very positive development in SG Interactive’s growth story,” said Barry Cottle, group chief executive-interactive for Scientific Games. “Red7’s portfolio of innovative games augments our entertaining game content and industry-leading intellectual property. We’re also excited about their sports betting apps, which include a host of robust features that add excitement to the sports betting experience.”
Scientific Games will employ all of Red7’s staff in the firm’s existing Bristol, England location, and will continue to fully support Red7’s partnerships with online and sports betting operators through the Scientific Games network.
Cottle said, “Many of Red7’s partners are also our partners, so we truly feel this is a win-win for all of our stakeholders. As we merge Red7’s content into our extensive game library, we will expand our U.K. retail and digital portfolio and be able to deliver even more compelling game content for the global digital real-money gaming business.”
