Provider of gaming technology EveryMatrix made its first step into the iGaming space in the US by entering into a deal with Armadillo Studios to make the game studio part of EveryMatrix Group based at the company’s headquarters in Miami, Florida.
Recruiting in Product Development and Design

“We’re more than happy to contribute to U.S. gaming culture with a wide portfolio of casino games which will be managed entirely by our team in Miami. Having Razvan and Dave in the studio’s management team brings us confidence that we can be a leading casino supplier in the U.S. market by 2023.”
