UK Tote Group Appoints John Williamson as Chairman
The UK Tote Group, one of the oldest pool betting operators in the UK, has appointed John Williamson as its non-executive chairman. He will assume office on September 1.
Williamson has strong international business and financial expertise that will help shape the ongoing growth plans of the organization.
He has served as the chairman and managing partner of Generations Limited, which provides bespoke consulting and management services for family offices, entrepreneurs and executives.
He had also served as the senior managing director of private investment company Search Investment Group, having also spent time as managing director and head of infrastructure and operational risk for Asia at Morgan Stanley.
“I am a keen race-goer and have long admired the outstanding work of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, running two world-class racecourses, and operating the world’s largest sports wagering business,” Williamson said.
“My dual enthusiasm for racing and business, alongside being able to provide an international perspective will, I hope, be of considerable value to the UK Tote Group team and to British horseracing.”
UK Tote Group chief executive Alex Frost said:
“John’s broad international experience in global finance and business, his track record in guiding international brands and operations, notably more than a decade on the board of Asia’s leading stock exchange, HKEX.”
“His extensive experience in Asia, in particular, will support our ambitious programme to expand our partnerships with other global pool betting organisations around the world, a cornerstone of our growth strategy for the Tote.”

MGA Games has announced the launch of its new slot, Sweet Fortune Megaways, in the .com markets on August 25th. This game transports players to Sugarland, a magical universe made of sweets and candy. Set in the city of Candyville, where chocolate rivers and caramel streets create a unique atmosphere, the title features the Megaways mechanic and promises a memorable experience.
The gameplay is full of surprises. Players can enter a majestic candy palace through the Free Spins screen, where prizes multiply and a mini game is activated inside the Grand Prize Hall. This combination of mechanics, setting, and interactive elements has been designed to maximize user engagement.
Among its main innovations are random multiplying Wilds (x2, x3), expanding Wilds, and the Megaways structure, which allows for thousands of possible combinations with each spin. Additionally, this marks the first time MGA Games has embraced a candy-themed slot, aligning with the most popular trends in the gaming and entertainment sectors.
