Relax Gaming crowned as Poker Supplier of the Year at Gaming Intelligence Awards
Relax Gaming, the innovative content provider and aggregation platform, has claimed the esteemed title of Poker Supplier of the Year at the 2020 Gaming Intelligence Awards.
The highly acclaimed award recognises the platform’s unrivalled success in the last year, in which it has significantly outperformed the market average, achieved consistent growth and succeeded in attracting new player demographics.
Available exclusively through Kindred, Relax Gaming’s poker product was designed to reinvent the stagnating sector and expand the appeal of the vertical beyond experienced high rollers. In 2019, the supplier broke new ground in France by being the first to launch a poker product for a number of years.
Relax Gaming has continued its commitment to advancing the product via a series of feature and format developments that have contributed to the product’s outstanding success, including its revolutionary HexaPro platform. Offering a unique take on the Jackpot SNG format that is packed with all-in situations, HexaPro has captured audiences with state-of-the-art graphics and a unique pre-game lottery to create a market leading poker experience.
Martin Stålros, Relax Gaming COO, said: “Relax Gaming’s poker product was designed with a clear ambition: to reinvigorate a declining casino vertical. We have not only bucked the market trend in developing a platform that significantly drives profit but also delivered growth over 25 consecutive quarters for our partner Kindred since launching in 2014.
“Our achievements in the sector have been pronounced and it is fantastic to be recognised for the hard work, dedication and innovative thinking that has made Relax’s poker platform the most successful on the market.”
Relax Gaming has rapidly grown its portfolio in recent months, now providing its partners with a roster of over 1000 casino games, including high-quality aggregated content from selected Silver Bullet and Powered By studios together with innovative proprietary products.

Gaming Corps launches Instant Blitz scratchcard-style game vertical
Gaming Corps, the Sweden-based publicly listed game developer, has launched Instant Blitz, a new scratchcard-inspired product vertical. The first title, also called Instant Blitz, is now live.
Instant Blitz plays across four rounds on a 3×6 active grid, where clusters of three or more matching symbols pay prizes that are added to a central Prize Pot. The grid can expand up to 6×6 via Lightning symbols, while Wheel symbols trigger a bonus with guaranteed rewards ranging from 5x to 1,000x the stake.
Other feature symbols include Multiplier, which doubles the total Prize Pot win, and Extra Rounds, which adds two additional rounds.
Alexandros Mavroudis, Product Owner at Gaming Corps, said: “Instant Blitz is an exciting launch for us because it introduces a new way of thinking about scratchcard-style content. We wanted to create something that keeps the immediacy players expect from the format but adds more structure and points of anticipation within a single session. The result is a game that feels fast and accessible on the surface but has far more going on underneath.”
Gaming Corps said the release supports low entry stakes, with bets starting from as little as 5p, positioning Instant Blitz as an option for operators looking to add lower-stake instant win content alongside other formats.
