Blueprint acquires developer Games Warehouse

Content developer Blueprint Gaming has completed the acquisition of omni-channel gaming provider Games Warehouse.

Blueprint Gaming, which is part of the Gauselmann Group and has secured a number of high-profile deals in recent months, has bought Derby-based Games Warehouse from the Harbour Group.

Games Warehouse supplies content across online, mobile and retail channels, and its games are already used by some leading operators.

Blueprint said the acquisition will “significantly boost its operations, delivering a greater number of high quality games to the market”.

Matt Cole, managing director of Blueprint Gaming, said: “We are very pleased to welcome the Games Warehouse team to Blueprint Gaming. They will support our growth by continuing to develop creative games as well as back Blueprint’s development efforts.

“We are confident that the fit will work very well and we look forward to creating some innovative games together.”

Games Warehouse employees will continue to operate out of its existing office, where both the igaming and Skill With Prize (SWP) machine teams will support Blueprint’s development plans.

Brandon Bezzant of Harbour Group said: “Games Warehouse first created the SWP market and more recently successfully evolved into a standalone games developer for online and mobile.

“We are sure that as a part of Blueprint Gaming and the Gauselmann Group, the team can go from strength to strength.”
