Trivelta has acquired Kerma Games, marking a strategic move into proprietary content and entertainment intellectual property. Kerma Games is an iGaming content studio recognized for its original and celebrity-driven games, and it operates a 24/7 live dealer studio that sets it apart by delivering broadcast-quality production, real dealers, and real-time interaction within its broader content portfolio.
Kerma Games distinguishes itself with a straightforward mission: to create "Games Players Remember." The studio has cultivated long-term partnerships with notable names from various domains, including music, sports, and culture. These collaborations include industry icons such as Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, Sexyy Red, and Luka Modrić. Such strategic IP relationships facilitate ongoing game development and distribution, enabling Kerma to establish enduring content franchises that leverage its celebrity partnerships rather than relying on standalone game releases.
This acquisition opens avenues for Trivelta to extend Kerma's entertainment and talent partnerships throughout its product ecosystem, while simultaneously equipping Kerma with enhanced resources, innovative technology, and a broader international reach. This will not only speed up game development but also significantly widen the scope of its global distribution.
Following the acquisition, Kerma Games will retain its brand identity, creative autonomy, and market presence. The company's games will remain accessible to operators and platforms independently of Trivelta's technological framework.
Carson Hubbard, CEO of Trivelta, expressed enthusiasm about the acquisition: "Kerma Games has built something genuinely different in a market where standing out is becoming increasingly difficult. It combines strong technology and game development with a clear understanding of entertainment, culture, and globally recognized talent, and we’ve already seen that translate into real success across our client portfolio. We believe that combination has enormous potential."
Hubbard emphasized that bringing Kerma into the fold is more than just adding another studio—it's about investing in a distinctive brand with an ambitious product roadmap, which includes a groundbreaking 24/7 live casino studio to enhance Kerma’s games. He envisions the potential for Kerma to evolve into a key player in the iGaming sector, leveraging the integration of gaming, entertainment, and cultural relevance.
Liam Tassiello, COO and Founder of Kerma Games, noted, "This is a major step forward for Kerma. We built the company around the ambition of creating games and partnerships that players genuinely remember, and joining Trivelta gives us the resources and reach to pursue that ambition on a much larger scale. Kerma remains Kerma. The brand, team, and creative direction continue, but we can now develop more content, reach significantly more operators and platforms, and pursue bigger opportunities across gaming, entertainment, and culture."
For Trivelta, this acquisition enriches its B2B technology ecosystem with proprietary content and entertainment IP capabilities, unlocking new opportunities for both entities while enhancing the range of products and experiences available to operators. The transition will benefit Kerma by establishing a stronger foundation for rapid product development, wider international distribution, and an expanded pipeline of original games alongside its long-term entertainment partnerships.
