WMS Industries Inc. (WMS) said Monday that it has acquired Jadestone Group AB, a developer, publisher and distributor of online gaming content and entertainment for online game companies.
The tuck-in acquisition is of a strategic technology enabler that augments and enhances the existing WMS portfolio of gaming content, online products and content distribution capabilities for customers looking to expand their brand with online interactive offerings, the company said.
The terms of the deal, which will be funded from cash on hand, were not disclosed.

The company provides end-to-end development and distribution services for casino games and other popular online games for a wide range of high-profile customers including Betfair, Betsson, bwin.party, Gioco Digitale, Microgame, Nordic Gaming Group, Paf and Unibet Group, among others.
