Blueprint acquires retail slots developer
Blueprint to adapt newly-acquired retail games for online platforms
Blueprint Gaming has acquired UK-based retail slots developer Project in a bid to broaden its product offering.
Blueprint, part of the Gauselmann Group, said it would adapt Project’s titles for the online market as well as integrating them into its machine offering.
Project’s management team will continue to lead the day-to-day activities at its south London studio, while the design and development departments from both companies will be forming a “close and collaborative relationship”.
Project has more than 30 years experience in the UK retail market with a games portfolio of over 50 titles, including Mega Bars and Find the Lady Poker.
Sascha Blodau, Gauselmann Group’s UK general manager, said: “Project has a strong reputation within the UK retail space and we’re thrilled to welcome them to the Blueprint Gaming family.”
The enlarged group will continue to be led by Blueprint Gaming managing director Matt Cole.
Tony Boulton, managing director of Project, said: “We have a great team of people and we will benefit from the scale, support and added distribution of the Gauselmann Group.
“This opportunity will enable us to grow and to introduce our proven games to an online audience. Our aftersales support will remain in place to service the large number of games we currently have in the market and we thank all our customers who have supported us over many years.”
