Bluberi

What Bluberi does

Bluberi is a privately held North American casino gaming manufacturer that designs, produces, and distributes slot machine hardware cabinets and proprietary slot game content to commercial and tribal casino operators across Class II, Class III, and HHR markets. The company's product architecture spans two pillars: a hardware portfolio organized around the Beacon family (Beacon+, Beacon+ Lighthouse, Beacon Elite, Beacon JUMBO with its 75-inch C-curved 4K display) and a classic Novus/b.Pod/BluKnight line; and a content library of original, non-branded slot titles that leverage proprietary mechanics including Hold & Spin, Pot Fillers, Prize Pulse, Cash-on-Reels, the Waterline (6th-reel) feature, Super Events, Distraction Action, and player-choice features such as Lucky Spot.

The company operates through direct enterprise field sales to casino operators, supported by five in-house game studios across Drummondville, Reno, Moncton, and Austin, and an eight-year audio-engineering collaboration with Soen Audio integrated into cabinet hardware. Bluberi is controlled by The Catalyst Capital Group Inc., is led by CEO Andrew Burke (joined January 2020), and maintains a CXO team drawn from prior roles at global slot suppliers and private equity. The firm scaled its North American installed base from roughly 1,500 units in 2022 to 10,000 units by 2025-2026, secured Nevada (January 2026) and Mississippi (February 2026) gaming licenses, and has begun extending its content library into iGaming via technology partnerships with ODDSworks (Remote Gaming Server) and Design Works Gaming (LuckyTap mechanic).
