Gauselmann UK opened its ‘Constituency Campaign’ when members of the senior team hosted Mark Pawsey, the Conservative MP for Rugby, at the Warwickshire town’s Merkur Cashino Adult Gaming Centre on Friday 24 July.

Mr Pawsey, who was hosted by Praesepe Chief Operating Officer, Mark Schertle, Gauselmann UK’s newly appointed Director of Public and Political Relations, Tony Boulton and Head of Compliance, Amanda Kiernan, commented: “It was great to visit the Merkur Cashino in Rugby, meet the team and to see the measures that they’ve put in place to make the AGC a Covid-secure environment for visitors.

“Now more than ever, it’s absolutely vital to support local businesses on our high streets as we look to rebuild and recover after lockdown. The months ahead will be challenging for businesses and retailers, but the government is committed to ensuring they have the support they need, and it was important for me to get honest feedback from Tony, Mark and the team. I look forward to visiting again soon to see how things are progressing.”

Reflecting on the visit and the overall objectives, Tony Boulton said: “When we announced our political campaign we were very clear that our strategy moving forward is to get to know as many of the MPs representing constituencies in which Gauselmann UK has venues and employs local people.

“Mr Pawsey was very keen to meet staff and find out how we were coping with social distancing, track and trace undertakings and the hygiene protocols – all of which he was able to witness in operation. I think he was suitably impressed by the environment, which has a typical Cashino high street footprint of 60 machines, by the professionalism of the customer-facing staff and by the contributions the Group makes to the national economy as well as numerous local economies.

“From our perspective, it’s absolutely vital that MPs understand exactly what the AGC sector is all about. A lack of understanding has often been the root cause of many of the policy/political miss-steps that have held back the industry, something which we simply cannot afford as we approach the review of the Gambling Act.”

“Hosting MPs in what is our place of work and explaining how we live social responsibility, demonstrating why the 80/20 rule is damaging business and how not being able to offer a range of payment methods restricts consumer choice, has to be far more effective than writing a letter or sending an email. Instead, our focus is on building relationships and creating a dialogue with our constituency MPs.”

Breaking New Ground in Brazil: Blitzcrown’s Crash Games Now GLI Certified

Blitzcrown, MVG’s pioneering games studio, has secured Brazilian Certification as well as GLI-19 Certification from GLI(Gaming Laboratories International) for its industry-changing three Crash titles. This landmark achievement marks a significant milestone in the company’s expansion into Brazil’s thriving online gaming market, positioning Blitzcrown at the forefront of the region’s rapidly evolving iGaming landscape.

The license comes at an important time for Brazil’s gaming sector, following the launch of the new licensing regime that started on January 1, 2025. The regulatory framework, signed into law in December 2023, has transformed the industry’s prospects.

The certification encompasses 3 innovative crash games: Crash, Fast Crash, and Twin Crash. This strategic milestone establishes Blitzcrown as the premier provider of certified Crash games in the Brazilian market, demonstrating the company’s unwavering commitment to regulatory excellence and gaming integrity. With the GLI-19 and Brazil certification process successfully concluded in March, Blitzcrown has solidified its position as an industry pioneer in this dynamic and emerging market.

Crash games are a recent addition to the global iGaming market, featuring the dynamic evolution of real-time multipliers and immediate reward structures. Blitzcrown has stood out by establishing groundbreaking game mechanisms that offer different and exciting gameplay experiences. Standard Crash provides players with a standard multiplier-based gaming experience, and Fast Crash is optimized for users seeking quick, intense multiplier experiences. The Twin Crash is an original format allowing players to place simultaneous bets on two separate multipliers.

Building on this momentum, Blitzcrown has announced plans to expand its certified portfolio with two additional versions of its innovative Plinko games, demonstrating the company’s strategic commitment to market expansion. This forward-looking initiative underscores Blitzcrown’s dedication to continuous innovation and sustainable growth in the regulated gaming markets.

Blitzcrown is MVG’s edge-game studio focused on pushing game ideas beyond their norms through innovative and non-traditional gaming experiences. The studio has been particularly recognized for its groundbreaking approaches in various game categories, including its successful Crash and Plinko series.

George Cho from MVG said: “This GLI certification testifies to Blitzcrown’s unwavering commitment to offering top-quality, fair gaming systems. We are well placed to take advantage of Brazil’s exciting new regulatory environment and the vast growth potential of the online gaming industry.”
