Voxbet, the creator of innovative software that allows customers to speak or type their bets, is delighted to announce that it has appointed online gambling industry stalwart, Andrew Lee, to the position of Chairman, as it bids to expand its scope and global footprint across the industry. Lee officially commenced his new role on 22nd November 2021.

Formerly known as Onionsack, Voxbet is a technology company that enables sports bettors to speak or type what they want from a sportsbook, whether that’s a bet, a market or a tip. This journey is what punters are already used to everywhere else online. Accordingly, the simultaneous rebrand and key appointment underscores Voxbet’s mission to transform the user experience for sports bettors of every generation and territory.

Lee joins Voxbet after successful stints across an array of leadership roles, most notably as Managing Director of William Hill Online (WHO), President of WorldRemit and more recently as MD of International Sportsbook at The Stars Group.

Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, said: “We’re delighted that Andy has agreed to come on board as Chairman, as we seek to rapidly expand and grow our global customer base. His focus as a leader is proven at Tier 1 operators – he led the Mobile First charge successfully at William Hill Online and sees the coming evolution to Voice First. Andy has a track record of succeeding by being ahead of the curve. We’re already enjoying the benefit of Andy’s analytical eye and strategic planning and when he speaks people listen. That’s priceless for us.”

Andrew Lee, Chairman of Voxbet, said: “I’m thrilled to join the talented Voxbet team at such an exciting time for the business. Its pioneering technology is already proven with leading international operators. I believe Voxbet has one of the most applicable ideas in the market, in that it solves a genuine problem for sportsbooks and its customers as well as creating new opportunities for customer reach. There is no more timely story in our sector than this one.”

Voxbet founder and CEO, Jonathan Power, added: “Genuine innovation comes so rarely to our sector. But when it does, it’s invariably salient and universally adopted. We’re confident customers will increasingly demand better navigation and greater personalization, particularly that which is accessible by voice. The prevalent usage of voice amongst the younger generation combined with the investment in voice-to-text by leading technology companies suggests the same. Our proven success in understanding text bets gives us a distinct head start in terms of voice interfaces in the sports betting space.”

“As such, the rebrand to Voxbet feels a judicious one, in that it immediately identifies our area of expertise in natural-language bet-processing, and points the way to how we envisage betting evolving in the future.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY BRINGS LEGENDARY SLOTS IP TO LIVE CASINO WITH GATES OF OLYMPUS ROULETTE

Published

Pragmatic Play, a leading iGaming content supplier, has launched Gates of Olympus Roulette, a live casino experience that merges classic roulette with thrilling slot-action, delivering a game show truly fit for the gods.

Set in a temple-inspired studio with a marble-encased roulette wheel at its centre, the game immerses players in a Grecian fantasy world, complete with striking visuals, dramatic sounds, and charismatic presenters.

Each spin offers the chance to hit a Bonus Number and up to seven Lucky Numbers, carrying multipliers of 50x–250x to boost straight-up bets. The Super Booster feature further amplifies wins by multiplying the Bonus and selected Lucky Numbers 2x–10x, enabling potential payouts of up to 2,500x in the base game and 10,000x in the bonus round.

Landing the Bonus Number triggers the Gates of Olympus bonus game, where Zeus presides over a 6×5 slots grid. Starting with 15 spins, players win whenever 8–12+ matching symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Multipliers up to 500x can strike randomly on any spin or tumble, and three or more scatters award five additional spins.

Following the success of Sweet Bonanza CandyLand, which brought the iconic Sweet Bonanza slot to live casino audiences, Gates of Olympus Roulette underscores Pragmatic Play’s expertise in transforming beloved slot IPs into cross-vertical live experiences. The launch complements recent game show hits like Money Time and Mega Roulette 3000.

Sharon McHugh, Director of Public Relations at Pragmatic Play, said:
“Gates of Olympus Roulette is a spectacular addition to our portfolio, bringing one of our most celebrated IPs into the live casino spotlight. The epic studio design, dynamic roulette-slot fusion, and immersive Grecian theme showcase Pragmatic Play’s commitment to creating truly standout player experiences.”

Thunder Ball: ELA Games Reinvents the Classic Fruit Slot

Exciting Multipliers, Electrifying Lightning Bonuses, and Four Impending Jackpots Are Ready in this Medium-Volatility 3×3 Game.

ELA Games reveals the launch of Thunder Ball, an energetic 3×3 slot that injects a vibrant boost into the classic fruit machine gameplay. Mixing nostalgic icons with a whirlwind of contemporary, unpredictable mechanics, this game encourages players to wield the force of lightning-like spheres for an opportunity to achieve a colossal 10,000x top prize.

A Roaring Central Gameplay

Operating on a small 3-reel, 3-row setup featuring 5 paylines, Thunder Ball quickly escalates the suspense. The excitement is driven by the Thunder Balls, which are the Bonus Symbols in the game, appearing on the first and third reels with multiplier values that vary from 1x to 15x the player’s bet. The voltage surges when the essential Collect Symbol falls with any of these orbs. This blend instantly activates the Boost Feature, a mechanism that promptly collects all visible Bonus values and Jackpots displayed on the screen, adding them straight to the player’s balance in a sudden burst of rewards.

Unexpected Hits and the Thunderball Reward

Even spins that don’t win can possess winning potential in this chaotic, unsettled environment. The Lucky Respin can randomly trigger after a dead spin, unexpectedly granting players a certain line win, a Boost feature, or immediate access to the Bonus Game.

To achieve the best effect, the Thunderball Feature can unexpectedly launch the Bonus Game directly from the regular spins and can even prepare the grid with Thunderball Multipliers prior to the start of the round. Upon entering the Bonus Game, players are granted three respins that reset each time a new Thunder Ball symbol secures its position.

While the storm continues, Thunderball Multipliers may randomly appear on the grid. When a multiplier lands in an already occupied cell, it increases by +2, progressively enhancing the value of any Bonus Symbols prior to their collection. Amidst the tempest of retro symbols, the Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand Jackpots await, where each flash of lightning holds the possibility of a flood of prizes.

Game Stats:
● Reels: 3×3
● Paylines: 5
● RTP: 96%
● Volatility: Mid
● Max Win: x10,000 (€250,000)
● Buy Bonus: No
