Hero Gaming Holds “Innovation Challenge” to Discover Technology That Will Take Company to Next Level

iGaming operator Hero Gaming has held an “Innovation Challenge” designed to inject new technology and ideas to keep the company at the top of the industry, earlier this month.
The “Shark Tank-like” pitch challenge, which was launched internally via a virtual townhall hero meeting and hosted through a zoom conference, was designed by Marie Theobald, Chief People Officer, and Andrea Saliba, Head of Talent & Organisational Development of Hero Gaming.
The contest elicited eight workable ideas, including add-ons and segmentation automation, meant to make the iGaming playing experience more enjoyable. The three finalists were announced during the Company’s trip to Marbella. The innovation platform created by Hero Gaming offered a cash prize to the idea best suited for follow through to development by the company. The finalists then presented their ideas to the rest of the organisation.
“The iGaming industry is dynamic where talented individuals can learn on the job and move up in ranks very quickly. This contest was meant to encourage ambitious and creative minds that have the potential to take the company to the next level,” Saliba said.
This initiative did not only create a platform to share ideas and boost creativity and innovation, but it also served as a great team building exercise as teams were composed of individuals from different departments within the organisation which enabled participants to collaborate with new team members and build stronger relationships with them.
The judges were Georg Westin, Founder & Chairman of the Board of Hero Gaming, Tomas Backman, former CEO, Karin Fahl Hallberg, Head of HR and Sasha Koshlo, Head of Frontend Development.
“At Hero Gaming we are always looking for ways to improve the playing experience. We pride ourselves on originality and creativity and mentor our employees to develop groundbreaking gaming concepts. This event is a function of that mindset, but we are always innovative and reward those co-workers who excel at new ideas,” Westin said.

Spintec Showcases Award-winning Solutions and Innovations at G2E Las Vegas

Reading Time: 2 minutes
It was an honour for Spintec to exhibit at G2E Las Vegas this year, after being recognised with multiple honours across the world, including Best Performing ETG Product in LATAM and Western Europe (Eilers, 2025) and Best Electronic Table Game Solution at the Asia Gaming Awards 2025.
At G2E 2025, Spintec presented an exhaustive portfolio of products that have accrued so many awards: from different games and experiences to a surprising range of settings in the Charisma Series.
The solution that garnered the most attention was the Charisma Amphitheater that can accommodate a large number of players. They can share the same dynamic, multigame experience, enjoying Roulette, Sic Bo, Craps, Blackjack, or Baccarat across automated, virtual and live platforms. The action is constant and thrilling, not just because of the varied and exciting games, but also because of the expanded side bets, jackpots and simultaneous gameplay options.
This layout fosters a vibrant, tournament-ready atmosphere that is always a lot of fun. However, at G2E, Spintec showed that it can be upgraded even further with their latest innovation: the Spintec Tournament Experience. It comes with a visually striking LED-driven environment with real-time stats, live visuals and dynamic leaderboards that are designed to keep players immersed and energised.
At the other end of the spectrum are the circumstances where individual play is much preferred to a shared experience. In those, Charisma SVM (Stand-Alone Virtual Machine) is a perfect solution. It combines five table games into a sleek, space-efficient cabinet for individual players. It is designed for flexibility and fast play, allowing extremely smooth game transitions. It is compact yet powerful and delivers unmatched versatility for casinos of any size.
Visitors at G2E also got to experience two absolute rising stars from the Spintec portfolio. Galactic Spin, Spintec’s flagship game, is quickly becoming one of their most interesting introductions. It is a GLI-certified roulette-style innovation that amplifies excitement through free spins, multipliers and a three-level Galactic Jackpot, one of the most advanced and engaging progressive roulette systems worldwide.
The other undisputed star and a global bestseller from Spintec’s lineup is the Charisma Roulette with eight play stations. Its popularity comes from innovations such as Galactic Spin Roulette, Lucky Number Jackpot and HotSpot Roulette, which are all extremely reliable revenue drivers. The setting also offers exceptional visibility of the wheel from every seat with an elegant design enhanced by LED illumination and dual-sided animated signage.
The visitors at the G2E Las Vegas also very much enjoyed the Baccarat and Craps setups. The Charisma Baccarat with five play stations showed authentic gameplay through its market-tailored squeeze feature and a variety of side bets with payouts up to 48x, including some exclusive side bet options unique to Spintec. The other solution that also invited a lot of attention was the Charisma Craps technology. It exhibited extremely smooth gameplay with exciting dice rolls and fast, accurate number reading, maintaining the thrill of traditional craps while enhancing efficiency. A standout element is the Shooter Button, a fun and interactive feature that assigns the shooter role in accordance with authentic live game rules. Charisma Craps also incorporates a proprietary solution that guarantees clean, fair rolls by preventing dice from becoming cocked or landing on top of each other.
All of Spintec’s solutions are extremely customisable with premium finishes, and a design that fits any casino floor.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
The international iGaming market is growing with the opening of Astromania Casino. The new platform will be a complete online casino and sportsbook, with a regulated and technologically enhanced platform available to players across multiple regulated international markets.
In the early phases, Astromania will target multiple regulated markets as a multi-geo brand. The project demonstrates a strategic desire to enter competitive, highly regulated markets with a product that is supposed to be of the highest standards of transparency and operational stability.
Astromania Casino provides an efficient and transparent platform that is developed on trust. It has more than 6000 games with international providers and a full sportsbook with all major sports.
“Astromania was created as a platform that prioritises performance, security, and fairness. Our objective is to provide users with an efficient, regulated product supported by transparent processes and dependable technology,” said the chief Executive Officer of Astromania.
The platform adapts to each region’s language, currency and regulatory standards. Payment methods cover cards, e-wallets, bank transfers and crypto, with regional options like GiroPay, PayID and Paysafecard.
All financial operations are protected through SSL encryption, real-time monitoring and AML/KYC verification in full compliance with European regulatory standards.
Astromania incorporates a comprehensive responsible gaming system designed to maintain player control and security. Users can configure individual deposit and time limits, apply self-exclusion measures and access multilingual support around the clock. Behavioural analytics tools allow the platform to detect and respond to irregular gaming patterns, reinforcing player protection.
“Compliance and responsibility are integral to Astromania’s operation. Our mission is to ensure that entertainment is delivered within a framework of safety and accountability,” said the Compliance Director.
Scalable cloud architecture is the technological basis of Astromania, which allows another cloud to run all of the performance without issues in the busiest periods. The modular design of the platform enables the quick adaptation to new regulatory settings and market-specific demands. The company is expanding across regulated regions, focusing on localised content and payment integrations for each market.
The company’s roadmap includes the release of exclusive proprietary content, native mobile applications for iOS and Android featuring biometric authentication and the expansion of coverage aligned with regional player demand.
The brand’s strategic goal is to combine large-scale content delivery with technological precision and full compliance with jurisdictional requirements.
“Astromania is not a short-term venture. Our objective is to establish a platform that defines long-term reliability and transparency within the regulated iGaming sector,” added the CEO.
