Pennsylvania Gov. Names New Chairwoman for the Gaming Control Board

Published

on

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has announced the appointment of Nedia Ralston to the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board. The governor also announced that Commissioner Denise J. Smyler will become chairwoman following the retirement of David Barasch.

Wolf originally appointed Smyler to the PGCB in 2019. Prior to that, she served as General Counsel of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, where she oversaw the provision of legal services to the governor, his senior staff, and more than 30 executive branch and independent agencies.

Barasch was appointed by the Gov. in 2015 to a three-year term on the Board as Chair, and he accepted a second three-year term in July 2018. All PGCB Commissioners are limited to a total of six years on the board.

Barasch’s decades-long career serving both state and federal government included Consumer Advocate for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Special Assistant to Governor Bob Casey, U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, and Deputy Secretary of the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.

“The Gaming Control board and the public benefitted from David Barasch’s deep experience and steady hand during the past six years. At no time in the history of this agency were those qualities more important in a Board Chair than during the past year of unexpected and unprecedented disruptions to the gaming industry due to Covid-19. During that period under Chairman Barasch’s watch, the agency not only carried out its casino oversight responsibilities but continued its important work of assuring the new forms of gambling were successfully rolled out,” Kevin O’Toole, Executive Director of PGCB, said.

“Nedia has been a great asset to the commonwealth over the years and I am confident she will continue to be so in her new position,” Governor Wolf said.

Sought-after software provider announces new partnership deal that will see its full suite of slots go live at leading Lucky7 brands including LuckyDays.se

Having steadily expanded its presence in regulated markets in recent months, in-demand software provider, Swintt, has announced it has made further in-roads into Scandinavia and Ontario after signing a new partnership deal with licensed network, Lucky7.

Operating a wide range of high-profile online casino brands, Lucky7 has a strong presence not only in Scandinavia, where it runs platforms like LuckyDays.se and LuckyDays.com/fi – but also in Ontario, further expanding its global footprint. Through this new deal, all platforms in the Lucky7 portfolio will now have access to Swintt’s complete selection of state-of-the-art slots.

With this huge library of content not only including SwinttPremium and SwinttSelect games, but also titles from the recently-established Elysium Studios Driven by Swintt line, the collaboration will ensure that all Lucky7 customers can enjoy an even greater choice of quality gaming options.

While Swintt’s core product offering has already built up a strong following across Europe, it’s the Elysium Studios range of games that will likely hold the most appeal for Lucky7, given these titles have been designed specifically with modern markets like Scandinavia in mind.

Packed with innovative features and mobile-optimised mechanics, some of the games in the Elysium Studios line-up that will now go live across the Lucky7 network include I Hate Fairytales, Wild Wild North and the highly anticipated upcoming title, Pirate Pledge Hold & Win.

Scheduled to launch this March, the new game promises to be a swashbuckling adventure across the seven seas where players can harness the power of expanding wilds and special Pirate Spins to boost their base game winnings, making it an ideal choice for all fans of next generation slots.

Of course, with that merely being the tip of the iceberg in terms of the new games that will shortly be coming to Lucky7 brands, the partnership will help the company cement its position as a Scandinavian market leader while also helping Swintt get its games in front of a wider audience.

Lars Kollind, Head of Business Development at Swintt, said: “Scandinavia has always been an important market for Swintt – and with our new Elysium Studios line-up, we’re even better positioned to give players in the region the type of content they want. With this in mind, the timing of this partnership with Lucky7 is perfect, as it will not only help us put our titles in front of a wider audience but also allow the network to offer an even stronger range of modern gaming options.”

Klara Sedlarikova, Casino Manager at Lucky7, said: “As a brand with a strong focus on regulated markets, it’s important for Lucky7 to constantly stay on top of evolving tastes and preferences of our customers. By adding Swintt titles to our network we’ll be able to offer our players an even wider choice of quality content, all of which has been designed with this modern, tech-savvy audience in mind.”
