GREENVILLE – Grover Gaming, ranked recently by Inc. as 194th in its list of the top 500 fastest-growing companies in America, is opening a new studio in Wilmington and is continuing to hire.
“Even though we have added over 100 new employees in the past eighteen months, we are still making every effort to hire quality people every day,” said Garrett Blackwelder, Grover Gaming’s president, in announcing the expansion on Thursday. “Fortunately, the pandemic did not slow down our hiring last year, and we firmly believe that having a game studio in Wilmington will enable us to expand our development team at a faster pace.”
Grover Gaming develops software, game content and gaming systems for lotteries and charitable gaming jurisdictions and is licensed in Ohio, New Hampshire, Kentucky, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Virginia, and Ontario Canada.
Grover Gaming plans to base six development teams in Wilmington.
“This expansion really makes sense for us,” according to Kevin Morse, Director of Market Development. “Wilmington is growing as fast as we are, and we know that having an independent game studio there will allow us to continue to attract top-notch talent.” He added, “We have every confidence that Wilmington and New Hanover County will continue the great job they have been doing!”
