Greentube acquires Abzorba Games; Bettagift shakes up social sports betting

A subsidiary of Austrian gaming firm Novomatic Group has acquired US-based social and mobile games developer AbZorba Games.

Novomatic’s Malta-licensed online software subsidiary Greentube acquired a 100% stake in Abzorba for an undisclosed sum. Greentube supplies gaming content to operators including Rank and Sky and holds B2C licenses in Italy and the German state of Schleswig-Holstein.

AbZorba, which is based in Delaware but keeps its R&D in Athens, Greece, notched 4m installs of its social casino games as of last March. AbZorba CEO Andrew Hughes said his group was “absolutely thrilled” to be joining the Novomatic family, while Greentube CEO Thomas Graf said AbZorba’s game library “perfectly supplements” the Novomatic Interactive offering.
