Booming Games strengthen its forces by reuniting iGaming professionals in the double hire
Fast-growing slot specialist, Booming Games, is delighted to announce the hire of two iGaming experts Kaska Pysz and Dorota Gruszka as Product Owner and Marketing Manager.
Kaska is a product and gamification specialist with more than 15 years of experience in the gaming sector. She started out in land-based casinos as a dealer and then floor manager, learning first-hand about player behaviour.
Having achieved a Degree in Marketing and Management from the University of Cracow, she then shifted focus to product development. When she developed her first promotional tool, she was able to combine her knowledge of what a campaign manager-friendly back office should look like with her passion for engaging and entertaining players. For the past 3 years, Kaska was working on gamification tools that enhance players’ experience, when playing their favourite games.
Kaska said: “I am incredibly excited to have joined Booming Games and its amazing team of professionals that are passionate about making this one of the top slot providers in the business. I’ve already been involved in some fascinating projects and have been able to use my experience and skills in developing gamification tools to make an impact on some of the game-changing features Booming Games has in the pipeline.
“It’s also great to once again be working with Dorota, who is not only a very talented marketer but someone I also consider a friend.”
Dorota Gruszka started her iGaming journey 7 years ago, and over time she worked in various departments, gaining experience on both providers and operator sides. Her true passion for marketing started a couple of years ago, and she dedicated a lot of time and effort to mastering her skills.
At Booming Games, she will be responsible for overseeing the marketing department and developing and deploying campaigns for driving awareness of the studio and its slots among operators in markets around the world. This includes ownership of brand strategies, press announcements, media partnerships, promotional programmes and the studio’s social media presence.
Dorota added: “Booming Games is an innovative and diverse company with a highly capable team that consists of more than 40 nationalities. This has helped to create a portfolio of games that is equally diverse with slots that are truly engaging and entertaining.
“I couldn’t be happier to join such an open, creative organisation that positions itself at the cutting-edge of game development. Of course, I’m super excited to be teaming up with Kaska once again and believe that between us we can play a significant role in helping Booming Games not only meet but exceed its ambitious goals.”
The double hires come at a time when Booming Games is experiencing rapid growth both in terms of market reach and operator partnerships.
Moritz Blume, Director of Product at Booming Games, said: “Booming Games is rapidly growing, doubling in size over the past year. It is very important for us to ensure that we hire experienced people that also fit in with the team and share our vision. I am convinced that Kaska and Dorota will add significant value to our company, and I am delighted to start working with them both.”
Frederik Nielsen, Chief Commercial Office at Booming Games, added: “I am thrilled to welcome Kaska and Dorota to Booming Games. They have already fit in with our culture and teams, and their experience in the industry will be highly beneficial in our upcoming projects. Our recent hiring spree has seen us bring many talented individuals on board, and I really look forward to working with them all.”

SOFTSWISS Spotlight: Top Highlights from SBC Lisbon
The SBC Summit, first held in Lisbon, made its mark on the iGaming industry, just as SOFTSWISS did with its notable anniversary presence at the event.
Eighty SOFTSWISS delegates attended the SBC Summit Lisbon, hosting their partners at the company’s largest stand in history – a 288m² space. Partners, clients, and industry peers gathered at the stand to celebrate SOFTSWISS’s 15th anniversary. With ‘Cheers!’, lively discussions, and a spirit of collaboration, guests explored future business opportunities, forged new partnerships, and discovered new avenues for growth.
Among the highlights was the chance for clients to meet with SOFTSWISS founder Ivan Montik and Formula 1 legend Rubens Barrichello to discuss business insights.
Montik and Barrichello shared their leadership experiences on the main stage during the Leaders Summit, engaging the audience with invaluable lessons. Ivan Montik took on the role of interviewer, drawing out key leadership insights from Rubens Barrichello, who spoke about the critical lessons he learned as a Formula 1 driver and how he applies them to business as a leader. The event, tailored for leaders, offered inspiration to everyone in attendance.
From the stage, Rubens Barrichello reflected on the importance of practice and adaptability: “Natural ability can take you far, but without practice and repetition, it’s not enough. In both racing and business, it’s about adapting quickly, refocusing, and constantly improving to handle whatever comes your way.” He added on teamwork and leadership: “Success comes when there’s a balance in the team. Whether racing or running a business, trust among team members and knowing everyone’s role is key. A good leader isn’t just someone who gives orders but listens, learns, and works closely with their team.”
During his speech, Ivan Montik commented on leadership in business: “In today’s fast-paced world, leaders need to be adaptable and ready to make decisions on the fly. It’s not just about managing tasks but about motivating your team, fostering trust, and allowing everyone to contribute to the organisation’s success.”
The three days in Lisbon were filled with memorable moments, including the Grand Party celebrating SOFTSWISS’s 15th anniversary, attended by over 500 guests in the best venue in the city. The legendary DJ Benny Benassi took the stage, energizing the audience and turning the celebration into an unforgettable night.
A standout highlight was the Track Day led by Rubens Barrichello, where participants learned directly from the Formula 1 legend. Rubens guided the group through various high-performance driving experiences, including sessions in a Formula 4 car, Porsche 911 GT3 Cup, and Porsche 718. He provided real-time guidance, performance feedback, and expert insights, teaching participants advanced driving skills and techniques, making it an unforgettable learning experience.
SOFTSWISS will shine again at its next major appearance at SIGMA Malta in November 2024.
