FlowPlay and Grammy Winner Willie Nelson Launch In-Game Partnership Within Casino World
FlowPlay, the Seattle-based gaming company, has announced the launch of an in-game partnership between the Grammy winner Willie Nelson and Casino World, the community-driven free-to-play social casino.
Players can now select from country music-themed avatars to customise their in-game persona and build cities with new features like tour buses and structures from Willie’s Luck Texas ranch.
Casino World offers over 40 casual casino-style games, including nearly 30 slots, and the ability to create and customise immersive cities complete with buildings, luxury hotels, dance clubs and slot halls.
“All of our games, features, partnerships and campaigns are built with the intention of fostering community in and outside our worlds. Our partnership with Willie Nelson is no exception. Few things bring people together better than music, and Willie has long stood as one of the most iconic figures in the industry. His involvement in Casino World will bring a new level of relatability, personality and excitement to our game, and we’re eager to share this initiative with our passionate community of players,” Derrick Morton, CEO of FlowPlay, said.

LiveScore Group Announces Internal Restructuring as Part of Sustainable Growth Strategy
LiveScore Group has announced an internal restructuring process, expected to impact more than 100 existing roles across multiple business locations, including London.
The changes are seen as a difficult yet important step for LiveScore Group, streamlining the business to create improved structures and a pathway to long-term sustainable growth. All impacted employees have been informed and are now subject to a confidential consultation process.
Sam Sadi, CEO of LiveScore Group, said: “On behalf of all Directors of LiveScore Group, and the relevant subsidiary companies, we are saddened by the difficult decision to commence an internal restructure of the business, a process which impacts a significant number of our people.
“Whilst we celebrate our recent period of significant and exciting growth, we must now future-proof the organisation and ensure our internal structures allow us to achieve long-term and sustainable success.
“This is a hard time for all our people, as we say goodbye to colleagues who have played an important role in our journey across recent years.”
The announcement follows on from the recent news that LiveScore Malta Limited (part of LiveScore Group) is to withdraw its LiveScore Bet brand from the Netherlands following recent government tax increases in the market. The announcement includes those impacted by this. There will be no other customer impact in respect of any of the remaining LiveScore, LiveScore Bet or Virgin Bet sites globally.
