I see it as a perfect combination of wisdom and knowledge with ambition and drive”.
For the last six months, Internet Vikings made several major steps to establish itself as a leader in the sector. Being selected by Green Jade Games for hosting delivery and attracting such accomplished specialists as Kärrbrink, Ekmark, and now Backlund shows that the company is on its way to conquer the industry.

ENJOY Gaming has expanded its live casino portfolio with the launch of Greek Roulette, an automated roulette product that adds multiplier mechanics to standard table gameplay.
The title is set in an ancient Greek-themed studio and uses an automated wheel. Alongside traditional inside and outside bets, each round includes a Lucky Numbers feature that randomly selects between one and twelve numbers and assigns multipliers of up to x777.
