GVC Holdings PLC, is pleased to announce the appointment of Sandeep Tiku as Chief Operating Officer (COO), effective immediately.

Sandeep joined GVC as IT Director in 2014 and became the Group’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) in 2016. Prior to this, Sandeep spent fourteen years at Valtech, a global digital agency focused on business transformation, where he was a global SMAC (Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud) practice head working for large enterprises in e-commerce and the digital and mobile spaces.

Whilst at GVC, Sandeep has led a number of significant technology and platform transformation programs involving technological revolution, people re-skilling and innovation, culminating in the completion of GVC’s industry-leading proprietary gaming platform. Sandeep’s work has ably supported multiple acquisitions of global gambling companies and the successful integration of these businesses thereafter. Sandeep was pivotal in the technical migration of Ladbrokes Coral onto the Group’s proprietary technology platform. The Ladbrokes Coral migration was the largest that GVC has completed and represented one of the final parts of what was the most complex integration process in the gambling industry to-date.

GVC has also promoted Marc Lange to the position of Chief of Staff to the CEO. Marc has over twenty years’ experience in technology, strategy, management and consulting. He previously served as the Group’s integration director since February 2018 following the acquisition of Ladbrokes Coral.  Marc joined the Group in 2012.

Andy Hicks, GVC’s managing director of retail, has been promoted to the GVC senior leadership team and will also report directly to the CEO. Andy has over twenty years’ experience in retail, having held senior positions at Dixons and Woolworths before joining Coral in 2009.

Shay Segev, Chief Executive Officer, commented: “I am delighted to be promoting GVC talent. Sandeep brings unparalleled experience and insight to the role of COO. We are first and foremost a technology business and this is at the heart of what we do – supporting customer services, trading, product and our people.  It therefore makes sense for him to take on this broader role. His leadership of our technology strategy and teams, combined with his knowledge of our legacy stack and proven results through our integrations, means that he is the right person for the job. I’d also like to congratulate Marc and Andy who both are operational experts with proven track records of delivering large-scale change initiatives. Their progression to the senior leadership team is richly deserved.”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has unveiled its fantasy-fueled video slot, Dragon’s Treasure Quest. The game is presented within a  5-reel, 3-row frame and features expanding reels and multipliers.Players must track down hidden treasures while navigating through legendary lore to find Wilds and Scatters, represented by a dragon eye and treasure chest respectively.

The Dragon Wild symbol only appears on reels two, three, four and five, and substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. Four Scatter symbols found anywhere will trigger the Free Spins Feature with 15 free spins – each additional Scatter symbol will trigger two more free spins. It’s possible to retrigger Free Spins.

At the end of every winning free spin, the total win for that spin is multiplied by both the multiplier at the bottom of the reels and the combined multipliers from the multiplier symbols on

the reels. Any multipliers collected during free spins will be accumulated and will remain at the bottom until the end of the Free Spins Feature.

Players can also take advantage of the Expanding Reel Window feature in Dragon’s Treasure Quest. At the start of each spin, all reels begin with three large reel windows. After each cascade, any reel window involved in a winning combination is split into two smaller windows—boosting the number of ways to win with every round.

A final element is the Multiplier symbol which is in play for any spin within the main game. One or more Multiplier symbols with values ranging from x2 to x100 may appear on the reels. At the end of the spin, all multipliers from the Multiplier symbols on the reels will be added together, and the total win for that spin will be multiplied by the total multiplier. The Treasure Chest may randomly add additional Scatter symbols if there are 1, 2 or 3 Scatter symbols present.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Dragon’s Treasure Quest delivers an action-packed reels adventure packed with exciting moments as players spin through a magical realm. Dragon’s Treasure Quest captures the spirit of heroic quests and the fiery power of dragons, keeping the adrenaline red hot with every spin.”
