Gaming content provider White Hat Studios has expanded into the U.S. land-based market via a new partnership with end-to-end technology supplier Gaming Arts.
The distribution agreement will see White Hat Studios content made available to land-based casinos across the U.S. White Hat was previously only active in the U.S. iGaming sector.
Big Catch Bass Fishing will be the first title to roll out at U.S. casinos. White Hat will soon also launch titles such as Bankin’ More Bacon and Kong Even Bigger Bananas with land-based properties.
The new agreement will also strengthen White Hat’s online offering in the country. Some land-based titles from Gaming Arts will also launch online via White Hat Studios.
‘Landmark’ Deal for White Hat and Gaming Arts
White Hat CEO Andy Whitworth said it was a “landmark” moment for the predominantly iGaming supplier.
“Our primary objective is to deliver content that maximizes entertainment for players, whether that is online or in land-based casinos, and we have no doubt our portfolio will elevate the offering of Gaming Arts’ partners,” he said.
“We look forward to introducing White Hat Studios’ hit titles to a whole new audience and showcasing the omnichannel appeal of our games to the wider industry.”
Greg Colella, chief product officer at Gaming Arts, also talked up the omnichannel deal. He said: “White Hat Studios has made a name for itself developing strong-performing games that resonate with players across multiple states. Its rapid rise in iGaming is a testament to the quality of its products.
“This agreement enables Gaming Arts to further strengthen the way in which we supply leading U.S. retail casinos with class-leading content, while simultaneously enhancing the studio’s footprint in the land-based sector. We are also particularly excited to see our top-performing land-based titles launching online.”
