Golden Palace Selects Altenar’s Sportsbook Software for its Terminals

Golden Palace, the Belgium-based multi-channel gambling operator, has selected Altenar’s sportsbook software for its terminals in Belgium. The decision comes after just a few months’ trial period.

Dinos Stranomitis, COO of Altenar, said this decision is proof that the software has worked well in the select number of terminals it was originally deployed for across three locations in Saint-Ghislain, Aubenge and Oostende.

“Of course there have been many problems due to the pandemic as the venues have not always been open – and could not, therefore, generate massive volumes. But Golden Palace is very happy with how the terminals are functioning,” he said.

The roll-out of Altenar’s software across Golden Palace terminals will put the operator in more direct competition with Ladbrokes, one of the favourites of retail sports bettors in Belgium.

“It’s good recognition for Altenar that Golden Palace, a land-based operator established as far back as 1960, believes that software from Altenar can help them compete in the retail sports betting market. We knew when we started working with Golden Palace on the online side five years ago that they had a strong land-based casino operation and some betting shops,” Stranomitis said.

“It was always an opportunity that Altenar could provide the sportsbook to their terminals. The fact that Golden Palace chose Altenar for terminals is a sign that it works very well online,” he added.

He points towards the difficulties that the retail betting industry is facing in this current pandemic situation and said: “The terminal business is huge, but of course the online and mobile side of things is growing faster. It might appear that the timing is not the best but there is huge potential.”

“We believe that lots of companies want to provide the same extensive sports betting offering across online and retail, which is where the Altenar software comes in – an omnichannel system where one communicates with the other,” he added.

This dual approach will be important to Golden Palace, as it aims to expand its casino offering with a focus on sports – an extra product that Stranomitis believes will provide more revenue and a better chance of converting players to online.

However, he did urge caution about the immediacy of any significant revenue effect.

“This year we have to be modest about how much the terminals will produce. The point is to be ready when everything goes back to normal,” Stranomitis said.

“It is a step forward in our partnership with Golden Palace. They are well placed in Belgium with Dutch betting regulation coming in this summer and other neighbouring countries they are interested in entering, so there is massive potential for the partnership,” he concluded.

evoplay-rolls-out-season-of-legends-campaign-with-e512,000-spring-prize-pool

Evoplay has launched Season of Legends, a year-long network campaign built around four seasonal phases, starting with a spring edition carrying a €512,000 prize pool. The spring phase launched in March and runs across March, April and May.

The studio said the new format follows its previous Big Adventures network campaign and is designed to drive sustained engagement through a more structured seasonal approach. Each season runs for three months with new mechanics and prize pools.

A new mechanic, Infinity Prize Drops, will run daily throughout each month and is not tied to tournament windows. The spring edition also includes a Tournament and Wheel of Fortune, each operating in four monthly phases: 1st- 5th, 9th- 13th, 17th- 21st, and 25th- 29th.

Evoplay said the €512,000 spring prize pool will be distributed across the three-month period via a consolidated leaderboard spanning participating operators. Players earn points through qualifying spins on selected Evoplay titles including Hot Triple Sevens, Piggy Bank: 3 Pots Bonanza, and the Penalty Shoot-out series.

Diana Larina, Head of Marketing at Evoplay, said: “Season of Legends marks the next evolution of our network campaigns. With Big Adventures, we saw just how effective long-term engagement can be, and this new format takes that even further.

“By introducing seasonal structure and mechanics like Infinity Drops, we’re giving operators the tools to maintain consistent player activity, rather than relying on short-term spikes. This is just the beginning, and we’re excited to build momentum throughout the year.”

Swintt has appointed Etienne Azzopardi as Managing Director, confirming its former COO in the permanent role after a three-month interim period that began in January. The move follows the departure of outgoing CEO David Mann, as the company continues a wider strategic restructure.

Swintt said Azzopardi will lead product strategy, future market expansion and team development. During his interim term, the company said it released 12 titles, including three games under its Elysium Studios label.

The supplier also pointed to two partnership deals signed during the same period: NetBet adding Swintt content for Greece, and SkillOnNet taking Select, Premium and Elysium Studios games across its .com, UK and MX brands.

Looking ahead, Swintt said it plans to maintain monthly content output and pursue further growth in regulated jurisdictions. The company added that Switzerland is scheduled to be its next major market target in 2026.

Etienne Azzopardi, Managing Director at Swintt, said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed Managing Director at Swintt. Since joining the company in 2021, I’ve had a hand in everything from operational management and roadmap optimisation to market licensing and game certification, and the experience I’ve picked up in those four and a half years will prove crucial in my new role.

Having spent three months acting as Interim Managing Director, I feel very privileged to be taking the role on a permanent basis and believe this will be the catalyst for Swintt to continue its outstanding recent growth in regulated markets worldwide. With a packed product roadmap already planned for 2026, it’s going to be an amazing journey and I’m excited to continue growing the Swintt brand.”

3 Oaks Gaming has added a new bonus mechanic, Flexible Free Spins, to its promotional tools offering, the company said.

The feature allocates free spins based on a total value rather than a fixed number of spins at a set stake. Players can then select how to use the award from up to 20 options, choosing between different combinations of bet size and spin count while staying within the same budget.

3 Oaks Gaming said each option is mathematically pre-calculated to remain within the defined value. When the award is issued, players see a modal pop-up with the available choices, with the default selection set to the median option.

Anna Nozdran, Acting Product Owner at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Flexible Free Spins deliver a fresh take on the traditional bonus setup within an online slot, providing players with greater control over their gameplay experience that suits their preferences.

“Every option is pre-calculated within the same budget, ensuring consistency for operators while offering a more dynamic experience for players. We firmly believe this new addition will complement the existing 3 Oaks Gaming portfolio and deliver greater value for our partners.”
