Testament to the supplier’s invaluable contribution to the CEE and CIS gaming scene, Evoplay Entertainment has gone from strength-to-strength in 2020, taking the casino industry by storm as Slot Developer of the Year with a diverse selection of titles designed to deliver a next-generation gaming experience.
Led in the commercial arena by the company’s CBDO, who takes home Speaker of the Year, Vladimir Malakchi and his team have established the brand as a hugely popular entertainment channel for the global streaming and player community.
The studio’s progressive marketing approach, highlighted with its Marketing Guru of the Year award, has seen the company collaborate with several leading industry influencers, as well as multiple player-first social campaigns across Instagram to connect with players via giveaways, AR filters and other exciting fan competitions.
Commenting on the team’s success, Vladimir Malakchi, CBDO at Evoplay Entertainment said:
“It’s been a transformative year for all of us at Evoplay Entertainment and our brilliant success is down to every one of us here – and I’m proud and honoured to be working alongside such a talented team.
“We’ve been outstanding in our work because of our approach to creativity – and we want to deliver gaming experiences that can truly be called next generation. Too much of what we see on the market right now is just about ‘spin and win’, we want to make sure our games can offer that immersive, gamified extra that really drives engagement.”
2020 has seen Evoplay Entertainment significantly boost its international reach across a series of key UK, MGA and LatAm markets.

Midnite runs free coaches for Southampton fans to FA Cup semi-final at Wembley
Midnite is bringing back its “Midnite Express” fan travel initiative, offering free coach transport for Southampton supporters to Wembley for the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City on Saturday, April 25.
The betting brand said three luxury coaches will take more than 100 fans on the round trip from St Mary’s Stadium to Wembley. The company positioned the move as a response to fan requests on social media following Southampton’s FA Cup win over Arsenal.
The trip also coincides with the 50th anniversary of Southampton’s 1976 FA Cup win at Wembley. Midnite said it recently marked that moment with a dedicated TIFO during Southampton’s match with Arsenal, created with a fan-led TIFO committee.
Fans travelling on the coaches will be joined by former Southampton players Shane Long, Franny Benali and Ken Monkou, according to the company.
Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, said: “The response to the Midnite Express this season has been incredible and when fans asked for it to return, we were keen to deliver.
“Supporting Saints fans is central to what we do, whether that is easing the challenges around travel or helping create memorable experiences around the game.
“This is a huge moment for Southampton, especially in such an important anniversary year, and we are proud to help fans get there to support their team.
“We hope this journey will make the match day experience even better.”
