In addition the company’s slots and ETGs, Inteblock will benefit from Zuum’s Class II product line which is in high demand in North America. It will also increase its reach through Zuum’s established presence in key regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and the maritime gaming sector.

“Bringing Zuum into Interblock family opens up exciting opportunities for Zuum to get more creative, reach new customers and combine our strengths to build even better, high-quality products,” said Mitja Kolman, founder of Zuum.
