Grover Gaming

Grover Gaming develops electronic gaming software and systems for charitable gaming venues and regulated gaming markets in North America. Its core business centers on electronic pull-tab platforms used by fraternal lodges, veterans’ organizations and licensed charitable halls. The company combines game development with cabinet design, management systems and operational support for distributed gaming installations.

Its development capabilities span game design, art, animation, audio and mathematical modeling. Alongside electronic pull-tab games, its reported product capabilities include video lottery terminal content, historical horse racing software, redemption kiosks and central gaming management systems. These systems support floor monitoring, accounting and route reporting, connecting game content with the practical requirements of operating regulated gaming equipment.

Products and operational support

Grover Gaming supplies more than individual games. Its offering includes platform leasing, installation, compliance certification coordination and field maintenance. This combination supports organizations that need both gaming equipment and continuing technical assistance. Its markets include charitable organizations, state lotteries and commercial route operators, with a regional service network supporting customers across several U.S. jurisdictions.

The company’s catalogue includes electronic pull-tab titles such as American Bombers, Arctic Wilds, Captain Calamari and Championship Derby. Its hardware and system offerings include cabinet platforms, self-service redemption equipment and tools for managing connected gaming operations.

Origins and ownership transition

The business began in 2003, when Garrett Blackwelder purchased amusement machines and started a gaming route in Eastern North Carolina. It subsequently expanded from regional route operations into software development and electronic gaming systems.

Light & Wonder completed its acquisition of Grover Gaming’s charitable gaming assets in May 2025. Grover Gaming continued as its dedicated charitable gaming division, retaining the public brand and electronic pull-tab business. The transaction covered the charitable gaming assets rather than all of the founder’s businesses. Its continuing North Carolina development and operational presence is supported by regional service and distribution facilities.
