SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Industry platform and software provider EveryMatrix has expanded its services into games development by investing in Marbella-based games developer Spearhead Studios.
Recently acquired from Gaming Innovation Group and led by the firm’s former managing director Mathias Larsson, the team’s previously created Book of Souls enjoyed over twenty million game rounds in the first ten months post-launch.
Plans for the future include finishing multiple video slots projects and releasing table games such as blackjack and roulette.
Larsson commented: “I’m very excited to play a part in the launch of Spearhead Studios and continue the work we’ve already started. We have a very talented and highly skilled team which will prove successful in the years to come.
“Being part of such a thriving company as EveryMatrix will strengthen our offering to the market and will help Spearhead reach a bigger audience.”
The studio’s in-house capabilities consist of game concept design, JavaScript game development, digital artist production, animation, UI/X design, audio production, gameplay testing/QA, certification and localisation.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and co-founder of EveryMatrix, said of the launch: “EveryMatrix is an established B2B brand and entering the game development sector was something which we wanted to do for some time now.
“Having a creative gaming studio led by a brilliant executive such as Mathias Larsson sets EveryMatrix apart in this competitive industry, and we are confident that this combo is going to serve our clients and partners very well.
“The background for this acquisition is the tremendous success of our CasinoEngine product, which has strong synergies to Spearhead. However, we will keep the studio activity highly independent, winning market share on its own merits while staying true to our principles of full transparency and maximum coverage in CasinoEngine.”
