Caesars Digital and White Hat Studios Enhance West Virginia Presence
In a significant development within the iGaming sector, White Hat Studios has broadened its partnership with Caesars Digital, marking a pivotal expansion into the West Virginia market. This collaboration underscores the growing synergy between two prominent entities in the iGaming industry, reflecting a strategic push to leverage opportunities within the United States.
White Hat Studios, renowned for its comprehensive portfolio in the iGaming space, has successfully launched its acclaimed branded titles at Caesars Palace Online Casino in West Virginia. This selection includes widely recognized games such as Peaky Blinders™ and The Goonies™, which have already garnered substantial player engagement in other states.
The partnership between White Hat Studios and Caesars Digital has flourished, evidenced by their successful ventures in Michigan and Pennsylvania. Their offerings, encompassing a range of premium slots and table games, have demonstrated consistent performance and player satisfaction.
A recent Eilers-Fantini report highlights White Hat Studios’ remarkable growth trajectory, noting a near doubling of its gross gaming revenue share at the outset of 2024. This achievement underscores the provider’s impact on the iGaming market and its ability to effectively cater to the evolving preferences of online gaming enthusiasts.
Furthermore, White Hat Studios offers the innovative Jackpot Royale feature, integrated into 30 of its games. This feature has significantly enhanced the gaming experience, distributing a total of $9.8 million across three progressive jackpots in 2023 alone, thereby adding considerable value to the operators’ content offerings.
Looking ahead, White Hat Studios is poised for further expansion within the U.S. market throughout 2024. With an ambitious roadmap featuring a slew of new products, the company is strategically positioned to strengthen its foothold as a leading supplier in the iGaming industry. This continued growth and innovation highlight the dynamic nature of the iGaming sector and the strategic partnerships shaping its future.
Andy Whitworth, CEO at White Hat Studios, said: “We’ve seen incredible results through our partnership with Caesars, one of the leading operators in the U.S. market, so we’re thrilled to be expanding upon that with entry into West Virginia.
