Kaizen Foundation Launches in Romania and contributes €350,000 to the Renovation of a Critical Section in the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital
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.
The supplier says the KingMidas catalogue is now available to operators via Groove Command across slots, instant wins, table and arcade games.
Groove has integrated KingMidas Games into its content aggregation platform, adding the studio’s catalogue of more than 150 games to its operator network. The companies said the rollout covers slots, instant wins, table games and arcade-style titles.

You know the game.
Players expect more. Markets move faster. Margins get tighter. Operators are still too often stuck with sportsbook tech that looks the same, feels the same, and slows everything down when speed is crucial.
GR8 Tech introduces the updated GR8_Sportsbook, a reimagined sportsbook built to transform the player experience, give operators full commercial control, and unlock more revenue-driving opportunities from day one.
This is not a typical B2B sportsbook built for show.
GR8_ Sportsbook was built as a product for ourselves, tested at scale, and shaped by real operator needs. We kept only the tools that work, convert, retain, and generate revenue.
No empty promises. No decorative features.
GR8_PLAYER EXPERIENCE ON: Transform Player Experience → Drive Growth
The new GR8_ Sportsbook front end brings a completely reimagined UI and UX, designed to make betting easier, faster, and more engaging for players.
The updated interface gives players a cleaner journey, more intuitive navigation, and a smoother path from discovery to bet placement. Every interaction is built to support conversion and long-term retention.
Differentiate. Stand out. Win.
GR8_Control On: Built Your Way, Managed in Real Time
GR8_ Sportsbook gives operators control through UBO and CRM. Operators can customize odds, content, layouts, widgets, pages, promotions, and player experiences without waiting on support or getting stuck in endless back-and-forth requests.
The new widget-based architecture gives operators control over every page layout and content block directly from the back office. That means faster execution, greater flexibility, and complete independence.
- Built your way: customize everything from content to player experience.
- Real-time control: make changes instantly, no support needed.
- Market-ready: adapt fast to trends, regions, and audience needs.
Behind the experience sits mature risk management built to protect the business while giving operators the flexibility to grow.
GR8_Revenue On: Tools That Move the Numbers
GR8_ Sportsbook adds a new layer of revenue-driving tools designed for targeted growth, smarter engagement, and better player value.
Operators can run highly segmented campaigns, tailor promotions by geography, and apply boosted odds at brand, market, or user-segment level.
That means recreational players can get a more exciting betting experience, while price-sensitive users can be targeted with enhanced prices and sharper offers.
New and upgraded revenue tools include:
- Boosted odds and enhanced prices at user-segment level.
- Automatic VIP bet acceptance for smoother high-value player handling.
- Zero-latency betting experience for faster, cleaner bet placement.
- Geo-tailored promotions built around local markets and audience behavior.
- AI-powered dynamic limits designed to maximize value per player.
- Targeted campaigns for different user segments, player types, and growth goals.
This is revenue control built into the product.
Built for the World Cup. Built Beyond It.
Ahead of the World Cup, GR8 Tech’s primary focus is upgrading the sportsbook front end, navigation, and operator control layer to meet modern player expectations and commercial demands.
Post-tournament, the roadmap continues with a redesigned event page and the development of a performance-focused initiative using server-side rendering to improve page speed, SEO, and user experience across key high-growth regions, including Africa, India, and Latin America.
Beyond iFrame, GR8 Tech is also expanding its sportsbook ecosystem through scalable Managed Trading Services and API products.
The API product gives B2B operators access to GR8 Tech’s sportsbook engine while allowing them to build their own front end, a major advantage for brands that want full UX ownership without compromising on backend performance.
GR8_Sportsbook On
GR8_Sportsbook is for operators who don’t want another sportsbook that simply exists.
It’s for brands that want to differentiate. Control the product. Move faster. Engage better. Protect margin. Grow revenue with tools proven in real-life operations.
Because luck is not a strategy.
LUCK OFF.
GR8_SPORTSBOOK ON.
