Golden Rock Studios Signs Deal with Caleta Gaming
Golden Rock Studios has entered into a new deal with Caleta Gaming.
The new deal will see two businesses almost perfectly in synch with each other’s growth trajectory plans combining their complementary expertise and skills to create a formidable new partnership in the iGaming world.
Caleta Gaming boast a solid and already successful end-to-end RGS technology providing an attractive portfolio of games, strategically designed and built to meet market and customer needs. However, the addition of Golden Rock Studios existing set of slot and table games, as well as bring across the new and exciting titles currently in development, will further enhance the options available for Caleta Gaming’s current and future clients.
Following a restructure of the business and realignment of company objectives Golden Rock Studios have spent the past 12 months working on some truly innovative slot games and features, with the first of these games Bonus Only due live in just a matter of weeks. Following on from that will see regular game releases to the Caleta Gaming network mixing up existing and brand-new titles.
Caleta Gaming bring to the table their dynamic RGS platform, seamless API integration processes and agile game development. Whilst already boasting an array of player engagement tools such as Free Spins, Progressive Jackpots and Buy-In features. The team have also already been started developing new promotional product additions with Tournaments, Instant Wins and Cashback tools, further enhancing their offering.
A strong network of happy clients already benefit from the Caleta Gaming platform offering, but plans have already begun with the aim to enter some strategic regulated markets. Obtaining some key market licences will help grow the platforms global footprint and further enhance the attractiveness for any future clients. As the distribution grows into new regions and markets the partnership will also mean that Caletas client base will soon also get exclusive early access to some of Golden Rock Studios upcoming unique new games such as 5 Fruits Frenzy, Remember Remember and Super Money World. As well as future collaborations together to make games which will be exclusive to Caleta.
“Coming together at this time perfectly complements each other’s growth trajectory as both businesses have high aspirations to transition to the next level. A combined vision to produce and distribute unique and innovative gaming content supported by a strong platform and product offering across a strong strategic network of markets will, and already has, helped the teams to build a strong relationship with long term success at the forefront of their efforts,” Fabiola Jaeger, CEO and co-founder of Caleta Gaming, said.
“We are truly excited about signing this deal with Caleta to bring our content live via their new and cutting-edge platform. This deal sees two businesses whose specialities lie in different aspects of the industry combining. So, partnering up and building out a new combined strategy will really go a long way to helping both businesses reach their aspirations. So far, we have already started to work very closely together and our first game going live has seen us get the partnership well under way. We also have a packed release schedule already in place for this year and it’s been really fun working together with the team at Caleta. With such a promising start under our belts, we could not be more excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead in 2022 and beyond with Caleta,” Shane Regan, Chief Operating Officer at Golden Rock Studios, said.
“Synergy! That’s the keyword for this partnership. Combining the innovative concepts and game design from Golden Rock Studios, with our experienced production team allows us to deliver awesome games with agility and high quality. It’s been exciting working with GRS. Our first game together is fresh out of the oven, and it is just the first step of our journey. Hope everyone enjoys and have lots of fun,” Felipe Moritz, Project Manager at Caleta Gaming, said.
