27th Gaming Group is a B2B supplier of land‑based and online gaming solutions, formed in 2022 through the merger of three established industry players: Jackpot Software, Fusion Group, and BetConnections. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the privately held company employs approximately 30 people and serves operators across Latin America, Europe, and the Caribbean. Its integrated portfolio spans online casino platforms including a remote gaming server, HTML5 slots, and user‑management systems; land‑based gaming hardware such as universal gameboards that upgrade any cabinet; and sports‑betting and horse‑racing products. The group holds GLI‑19 certification and is pursuing GLI‑33 and GLI‑11 to expand into additional regulated jurisdictions. In early 2025, Jackpot Software announced a joint venture with Vibra Solutions to deliver cutting‑edge gaming technology globally. Key certifications and the ability to offer a one‑stop shop from three specialized subsidiaries position 27th Gaming Group as a versatile partner for casinos seeking compliance‑ready, performance‑driven solutions.
