US gaming technology firm Empire Technological Group Limited announced Monday that it has acquired the slot operations, including land-based and online gaming assets, of Aruze Gaming America, pending regulatory approval.
Doing business as Play Synergy, the company said the strategic move will see it assume control over, and responsibility for, the related sales, service, support and operations of Aruze’s slot route and operations.
Play Synergy alco confirmed that current Aruze staff will form part of the acquisition, promising a “smooth transition along with a focus on excellence in customer service” given the prospects of the acquisition being “unsettling” to Aruze’s current customer base.
Frank Feng, President of Play Synergy, said, “Aruze, Play Synergy, and all other stakeholders in the process have worked exceptionally well together to provide the vast majority of Aruze team members with new employment opportunities. This along with interest from others in the industry has had the result of minimizing the disruption to those impacted and their families.”
Play Synergy said the acquisition of Aruze’s assets and personnel – expected to close within the next 30 days – will significantly enhance its presence in the gaming industry.
