Collaboration
- Scientific Games: ELK Studios was acquired by Scientific Games, which specializes in gambling products and services. The acquisition aims to enhance Scientific Games’ original iGaming content offering and production capabilities. While ELK Studios operates independently, creating new titles, it also benefits from Scientific Games’ vast resources, including commercial scale, market expansion, support in the U.S. and Canada, game IP, and data analytics tools.
- 888 Italia: As part of a partnership with 888 Italia, which belongs to 888 Holdings plc, ELK Studios launched its portfolio of titles on 888.it. This move is geared towards expanding ELK Studios’ presence in the Italian market and providing a diverse range of entertaining content to 888 Casino’s Italian player base.
