Skillzzgaming introduces the MATCH-3 games genre to the gaming scene
Skillzzgaming is an innovative and data-driven game studio with a passion for creativity and design, that is pushing the envelope with the new MATCH-3 games, as well as with other game genres, bringing in a breath of fresh air to the real money gaming industry.
We blaze the trail by mixing casual gaming formats with real money game foundations, and pave the way for the gaming industry by introducing new gaming genres to the scene.
Gamers’ DNA is changing
Gamers’ DNA is changing, their preferences are evolving, and casinos’ are constantly looking to expand their portfolio and include new genres to cater for the new generation of native gamers.
We meet this challenge by introducing a new line of MATCH-3 games – a la “Candy Crush” – which has been very well accepted by operators and players.
Introducing the new MATCH-3 genre
Introducing a new genre presents great challenges with no guarantee of any specific results. In the case of Skillzgaming, however, the data speaks for itself:
According to SlotsCatalog, two of our MATCH-3 games, Fruit Blast and Pets Go Wild, climbed to the top 200 SlotRank for the United Kingdom market and stayed there for a very long while since their respective release dates. This shows that MATCH-3 games are greatly appreciated and loved by players. Our MATCH-3 games are well sought after by a wide audience of casino, bingo, lottery and sports players worldwide.
Skillzzgaming games combine the exciting elements of casual games with real money wagering to create a deeply engaging game experience. In our games, winning is more than random chance or odds – the choices that players make impact the game. Moreover, players discover new content as they progress, and unlock unique and exciting bonus features and mini-games.
In the coming month we launch our new MATCH-3 title, Alchemy Blast, first going live on the Microgaming platform. Alchemy Blast introduces players to the mystical world of alchemy, allowing them to win big prizes, and brew magical elixirs to reveal secret bonus games.
We are both humbled and delighted to be the first company to create and lead this new successful game genre, and we plan to keep pushing boundaries for the gaming world.

DeGaming launches Web3 iGaming platform, names Ulle Skottling CEO
DeGaming has launched a Web3 iGaming platform and appointed Ulle Skottling as CEO, with the company positioning on-chain operations as a way to improve transparency across operators, affiliates and players.
The platform’s core product pitch is its proprietary “Glass Vault” technology, which DeGaming says provides real-time proof of funds and independently verifiable visibility of balances, transactions, and payouts.
DeGaming is also offering “Bankroll as a service,” routing transactions through its on-chain transaction engine to provide operators access to scalable liquidity for withdrawals and platform stability. The company said this is designed to reduce friction for operators trying to scale, while giving players visibility into the funds available on the platform.
The supplier said its unified platform combines game access, player account management (PAM) and reporting in a single blockchain-native operational engine. DeGaming added that operators can launch a customisable casino or sportsbook in “as little as two weeks,” including crypto and fiat deposits, automated payouts and a back-office.
Skottling joins as CEO to lead what DeGaming called its next phase. He has held senior roles at RAW iGaming, Videoslots and NetEnt. Skottling said: “The industry has evolved rapidly, but transparency and trust have not kept pace. It runs on what you can’t see, whereas we have built a platform that you can. We are challenging the model and defining the new standard for gaming infrastructure.
“Our Glass Vault technology gives operators, affiliates and players independently verifiable visibility into platform activity and funds in real time. The future of gaming will be built on openness, accountability and infrastructure that all participants genuinely trust.”
Emil Ahmed, co-founder of DeGaming, added: “Appointing Ulle as CEO is an important step in DeGaming’s next phase. We have built the platform around a clear belief that gaming needs more transparency, stronger infrastructure, and greater operational trust. Ulle brings the industry experience, commercial understanding, and leadership needed to take that vision to market and help operators launch with confidence.”

Century Casinos Inc. announced that Lyle Randolph, a long-term regional Vice President and General Manager of the Company, will take over as Executive Vice President of Operations for the US.
Mr. Randolph will be appointed to this new role effective May 15, 2026. As Executive Vice President of Operations for the US, Mr. Randolph will oversee the Company’s seven U.S. properties. These casinos comprise a combined 4701 slot machines, 93 table games, 2127 hotel rooms, and over 20 food and beverage venues.
Mr. Randolph is a veteran gaming and hospitality executive with more than 30 years of leadership experience in casino operations, hotel and food & beverage management, capital development, and multi-property strategic oversight. He began his gaming career in 1995 at Casino Aztar in Missouri. When Isle of Capri Casinos acquired the property, he became General Manager of both Caruthersville and Cape Girardeau. Throughout his leadership tenure, he successfully navigated the properties through multiple ownership transitions involving Isle of Capri Casinos and Eldorado Resorts while operating under the leadership and mentorship of notable gaming industry executives including James Perry, Virginia McDowell, Eric Hausler, Gary Carano, and Tom Reeg. These experiences provided exposure to a broad spectrum of leadership philosophies ranging from entrepreneurial founder-led management and family-driven regional gaming growth to highly analytical, public-company expansion strategies. During his tenure with Isle of Capri Casinos, Mr. Randolph received the company’s Jack Galloway Award recognizing leadership and operational achievement.
Since Century Casinos’ acquisition of the Missouri properties in 2019, Mr. Randolph has served as Vice President of Operations for both Missouri casino properties. Mr. Randolph has overseen more than $80 million in combined capital development projects, which has resulted in Adjusted EBITDAR growing over 70% under his leadership.
In addition to his operational responsibilities, Mr. Randolph has remained active in civic, charitable, and industry leadership initiatives throughout his career, including statewide advisory appointments and leadership roles with regional business, tourism, humanitarian, and gaming organizations, underscoring his understanding of the value of responsible corporate citizenship. Mr. Randolph’s established track record as a results-oriented and effective leader will continue to drive the Company’s growth within the gaming and hospitality industry.
