EveryMatrix opens US-based games development studio
Supplier ramps up US expansion plans with unveiling of Armadillo Studios at the group’s Miami HQ
EveryMatrix is set to open its first US-based games studio as the supplier continues to enact its US expansion drive.
Armadillo Studios will be based at the company’s recently opened headquarters in Miami and will develop online casino games with US market specific game logic and player preferences at the forefront of the design process.
Armadillo Studios will be managed by CEO Razvan Haiduc and COO David Stoveld, with the pair already embarking on an extensive recruitment process for key roles across the studio ecosystem.
Former iSoftBet head of project management Haiduc joined EveryMatrix as a business development director in September 2020 after a stint as head of product for the group’s MoneyMatrix subsidiary.
Stoveld is set for a stateside switch after just five months as Kalamba Games’ head of research and development in Malta.
He previously spent more than three years with Yggdrasil and has held senior positions at both NetEnt and Scientific Games.
Ebbe Groes, EveryMatrix CEO, said: “We’re more than happy to contribute to US 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 US market by 2023,” he added.
Haiduc commented: “The US market holds a lot of promises and I am sure that investing in this direction is the right move for us.”
Last month, EveryMatrix made an investment into Swedish gaming studio Lady Luck Games.
