Leading multi-channel betting supplier SIS (Sports Information Services) has agreed a deal with Poolbet.ru (Pari Engineering RUS LLC) for its World Greyhound Tote Pool.
This new partnership will allow Poolbet.ru to accept and transfer bets into the pool of leading British greyhound racing content, by integrating the end-to-end solution, which consists of live streamed pictures, commentary, data on-screen graphics and markets.

AnĹže Gantar, Digital Sales Manager at SIS, said: âAfter successfully launching the SIS World Greyhound Tote Pool in North America last year, weâre excited to be bringing this product to Russia as part of our new partnership with Poolbet.ru.

Alexander Ivashkevich, CEO of Pari Engineering, said: âWeâre delighted to be launching the SIS World Greyhound Tote Pool, which will allow us to significantly boost our racing offering.
âThe high frequency of the greyhound racing betting events available through the pool, as well as SISâs strong reputation for delivering live pictures and data, were important factors in our decision to integrate the product. Weâre sure our customers will enjoy the exciting greyhound racing events that are now available to them.â

The legendary games studio went live in South Africa in 2024, and this newly announced partnership will see classic Playân GO titles such as Fire Joker, Rise of Olympus 100 and Boat Bonanza now available to Hollywoodbets players in South Africa.
Playân GO enjoyed a landmark year in 2024, expanding its reach globally, and recently announced the launch of two brand new slots mechanics, Blitzways⢠and Crashbackâ˘.

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

Â
At this yearâs GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rareâand pretty remarkableâin the âBest iGaming CEO in CEEâ category.
With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:
- Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
- Dario JurÄiÄ, CEO at NSoft
But hereâs where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.
Thatâs rightâafter weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.
And while only one person can technically take home the winnerâs trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:
- An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for âBest iGaming CEO in CEEâ awarded to Dario JurÄiÄ, CEO of NSoft.
Why This Matters
The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.
Dario JurÄiÄ has played a vital role in expanding NSoftâs influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting communityâand with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.
A Testament to a Vibrant Industry
The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership weâre seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.
We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario JurÄiÄ for standing out in such a competitive field.
Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful storyâand this year, it certainly did.

Tomorrow might be April Foolâs Day but this is no joke, the Plaza Hotel & Casino is bringing back Las Vegasâ only all-inclusive hotel room package starting at $125 per person per night.
The Plaza introduced its all-inclusive hotel room package last summer. It was so well received by guests that the iconic downtown Las Vegas property is bringing it back and extending it for all of June, July and August.
âAt a time when tourists are concerned about increasing costs in Las Vegas, including resort fees and paying to park, we wanted to give our guests a more affordable summer vacation option by again offering our all-inclusive hotel room package,â said Jonathan Jossel, CEO of the Plaza Hotel & Casino.
The Plazaâ all-inclusive hotel room package waives all resort fees, but guests will still have free access to the fitness center, self-parking, and rooftop pool. It also includes bottomless drinks from the Omaha Bar and Sports Book Bar on the casino floor as well as breakfast and dinner from various dining outlets, and more.
The Plazaâs all-inclusive hotel room package is available for booking beginning today. Rooms must be booked online by Aug. 29 for a stay June 1 through Aug. 30.
