The Kaizen Foundation together with the “Doctors for Romania” Association announced the completion of a major renovation project at the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital, modernising the whole area intended for the treatment of serious cases for children up to three years old. This initiative is the first project funded by the Kaizen Foundation in Romania, marking the launch of the Foundation’s activity in the country.

The Kaizen Foundation has been the main donor of the project, contributing €350,000 for the renovation of this critical facility of the Pitesti Pediatric. It is the largest of its kind in the area, also serving the counties of Argeș, Vâlcea and Dâmbovița, and providing care to over 30,000 children every year. It is the first renovation of this critical section since the establishment of the Pediatric Hospital in the city of Pitesti, 40 years ago. The project was initiated by the “Doctors for Romania” Association.

“A couple of weeks ago we announced the establishment of Kaizen Foundation and the start of our first project, the renovation of the Penteli Children’s General Hospital in Athens, Greece. We are very proud that our second major grant, this time in Romania, delivers a completed project. What we see here today gives us strength for the path that lies ahead for the Kaizen Foundation. This renovation will benefit the youngest of patients of the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital, helping them fight battles that they shouldn’t have to fight, especially at the beginning of their lives. We are grateful to the ‘Doctors for Romania Association’ for all their hard work to deliver the results we see today and of course, everyone else who contributed in making this project a reality, from the local authorities to the hospital’s medical staff. Through the Kaizen Foundation, we aim to respond quickly and with consistency to the pressing needs of local communities across the world,” Panos Konstantopoulos, President of the Kaizen Foundation, said.

The inauguration ceremony took place in Pitesti, in the presence of the Romanian Prime MInister’s State Counsellor, the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Health, other central and local authorities’ representatives and members of the business community that supported the project. The refurbishment of the space provides a safe, clean and modern environment for young children and their families to receive the necessary care, facilitating speedier recovery and completion of treatment. The renovation covered an area of over 1100 square meters, including major reconstruction work to create sanitary units for every ward, while maintaining the same number of beds.

“At first, the idea of renovating the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital’s sixth floor probably seemed like a bold vision. Today, with the generous support of our partners, we have been able to turn this vision into reality. Through our joint efforts, we have renovated this hospital floor, which will serve as a sanctuary of healing for children and their families. This renovation is not simply an improvement to the infrastructure, but a symbol of love, care and true commitment to the health and happiness of our children. I would like to thank our donors, especially our lead partner, the Kaizen Foundation, because without their generosity and dedication to our cause, this impressive accomplishment would not have been possible. We are deeply grateful for their involvement and for being part of this journey with us,” said Alexandru Costache, President of Doctors for Romania Association.

Bet It Drives Season 3 Premiere: Eman Pulis on Legacy, Risk, and Why Rome Changes Everything

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was SiGMA World.

But when Eman Pulis rolls through the Eternal City in Season 3 of Bet It Drives, he’s not just another iGaming founder with a war story. He’s the gladiator who fought COVID, broken rules, outplayed industry skeptics—and came out building schools in Ethiopia while running eight conferences across three continents.

“Now I’m free,” Eman says, quoting Hans Zimmer’s Gladiator soundtrack—his victory song for after SiGMA Central Europe wrapped and the chaos settled. Free from the rules that almost sank him. Free to build tribes, not just teams. Free to prove that legacy beats profit, every single time.

Season 3 of Bet It Drives, powered by GR8 Tech and hosted by Yevhen Krazhan, CSO, launches where champions are made: on the road, in motion, with no script and nowhere to hide. Rome sets the stage. Eman brings the empire.

In the episode, Eman reveals:

  • The COVID gamble that saved SiGMA: How 14,000 people walked through doors that were supposed to stay shut—and why he’d do it again
  • Why Rome, why now: The strategy behind planting the flag in Europe’s second-biggest gaming market (and why Malta stays in the picture)
  • From beach in Phuket to existential crisis: The moment everything felt too perfect—two weeks before COVID hit
  • 350 people, 8 offices, one tribe: How a multicultural team became SiGMA’s secret weapon across Manila, São Paulo, Cyprus, and beyond
  • Business is done between people, not brands: The mantra that turned boozy Malta meetups into a global events empire
  • Politics or impact? Why helping millions through the foundation beats governing 400,000 people in Malta
  • The “zoom out” rule: Crisis survival advice from someone who almost became redundant overnight

We covered a lot of ground—literally and figuratively,” said Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech and host of Bet It Drives. “And Rome was the perfect place to kick off Season 3. The city represents where the industry is right now—ancient foundations, modern chaos, and endless opportunity.

Season 3 keeps the momentum rolling with upcoming episodes featuring Valentina Diaco and Karolina Pelc—two more amazing leaders with stories worth hearing.

Watch or listen to Season 3, Episode 1 with Eman Pulis on:

The arena is open. The conversations have started. Season 3 of Bet It Drives is here—and it’s just the beginning.

Belatra invites players down to the Frozen Barrel Tavern to celebrate the festive season

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has rolled out the red carpet to the Frozen Barrel Tavern to celebrate the festive season. Players are warmly welcomed into a cosy winter tavern that radiates holiday cheer and buzzes with Christmas chatter.

In the standard game and free games feature, winning symbols explode and the empty positions are replaced with new symbols until no further wins occur. Big symbols that land are either 2×2 or 3×3 and act the same as 4 or 9 identical standard symbols. The large x2 and x3 barrels substitute for 4 or 9 identical standard symbols and also multiply the Global Multiplier above the reels.

During the Base Game and Bonus Games, multiplier symbols ranging from 2x to 250x can land. After each cycle, all multiplier symbols are added together, and if the Cumulative Multiplier is greater than 1, it is included. The winning total, visible at the top of the reels, is multiplied by this amount. Flying barrels have the potential to enter the fun and will replace the non-winning symbol with the multiplier symbol.

The Cumulative Multiplier begins at 1 at the start of both the base game and the Free Games round. During Free Games, any Multipliers that appear on the reels are added to the Cumulative Multiplier at the end of each spin, and the updated value carries over to the next Free Game. When the round ends, the total winnings are multiplied by the combined value of the reel Multipliers and the Cumulative Multiplier, if it is greater than 1.

Players finding four or more Scatters on the reels will be awarded with 10 Free Games. Three or more Scatters in Free Games trigger five more Free Games – the limit is capped at 100.

Tis’ the season, so the Frozen Barrel Tavern has a Happy Hour. Six Scatters appearing triggers the special Bonus game. Here the initial Cumulative Multiplier takes a value between 2 to 10, big wins appear more often, and the maximum win is 12000x.

Misha Voinich, Head of Business Development at Belatra, commented: “Frozen Barrel Tavern is the perfect place to celebrate the holidays – and hopefully land some big wins. Warm lights, fun features, and a touch of seasonal magic make this festive treat a fantastic addition to our portfolio.”
