The Head of Business Development at ELA Games collaborates with industry colleagues to explore the forthcoming phase of scalability.

ELA Games is happy to share that Yaroslav Soloshenko, Head of Business Development, will serve as an expert panelist at the forthcoming HIPTHER Prague Summit 2026.

Celebrating its 10th anniversary, the Prague Summit is a focused event for leaders in gaming and technology across Central and Eastern Europe. On Day 2 (March 25, 2026) at 12:00 PM, Yaroslav will take the stage in the QUARTZ Room for a session called: “Game Innovation & Studio Growth: What Scales in 2026.”

Led by the esteemed industry personality Michael Caselli, the dialogue unites a panel of experienced experts, featuring Robert Lenzhofer (Hölle Games), Alexis Wicén (Scatters Group), Alessia Paiano, and Assaf Stieglitz. The session aims to investigate the realities of the contemporary gaming scene, aiding in differentiating between short-term experiments and the sustainable growth strategies that succeed in a competitive, regulated setting.

Yaroslav Soloshenko, Head of Business Development at ELA Games, said of the upcoming session: “Innovation in 2026 is defined by how a good idea adapts to the specific needs of the market. ELA Games is focused on the artistry of our games, making sure every animation and feature meets a standard of quality that itself is a core selling point for our partners. Scaling today requires us to push creative boundaries while finding new ways to maintain a competitive edge in a crowded and ever-changing market. It’s an honor to join such a distinguished panel at the Prague Summit, particularly as HIPTHER marks a decade of bringing together some of the most influential voices in the CEE region.”

The discussion will center on various critical aspects of studio development, such as:

Strategic Innovation Cycles: Syncing ambitious creative experimentation with the practical needs of product-market fit and scalable business success.

Efficient Distribution: Ways specialized studios can broaden their audience via strategic aggregation and partnerships with platforms.

Creative Adaptation: Preserving a studio’s artistic identity while effectively managing the changing technical and regulatory requirements of European markets.

CHIPS Charity Named Official Partner of iGB L!VE 2026 in London

CHIPS Charity, which is on track to present its 800th wheelchair in 2026, has been named the official charity partner for July’s iGB L!VE, the second edition of the leading b2b showcase to be held in London.

Born out of the land-based gambling industry, the registered charity provides bespoke wheelchairs to young people whose families are unable to access or fund the equipment that they require. CHIPS Chairs are designed and engineered to meet the specific physiological needs of each recipient and can cost up to £9000.

CHIPS co-founder Linda Lindsay said she is delighted to be partnering with WorldGaming (formerly Clarion Gaming) to raise vital funds for children who have been deprived of the freedom and independence that powered wheelchairs provide.

She said: “I have seen the strain and stress that parents experience when they learn that their child does not qualify for a powered wheelchair. The qualification tests can be extremely cruel and, in some cases, children who can walk only a few metres are deemed ineligible, even though they quickly struggle to stand beyond that extremely short distance – which is why CHIPS fulfils such an important role.”

She added: “There’s no doubt that CHIPS chairs transform lives providing youngsters with the freedom and independence that so many of us understandably take for granted. CHIPS was founded by colleagues working in the land-based casino sector and I’m very much looking forward to introducing our work and explaining our vision to iGaming professionals and businesses at iGB L!VE.”

WorldGaming will be announcing a programme of activations to build the profile of CHIPS Charity with the international community of iGaming professionals who will be attending the tier 1 business event which showcases game-changing technologies, provides access to market insights and delivers high-quality curated networking including exclusive industry gatherings.

The 2025 edition of iGB L!VE which was the first to be held in London, set a new visitation record of 20,227 a figure that was 16% up on the previous high of 17,498 set in 2024. iGB L!VE ’25 also underlined its international credentials with attendees travelling to the show from 149 nations, up from the 2024 figure of 131.
