Malta based Green Jade Games, the disruptive casino game developer, has bolstered its highly skilled and uniquely talented team with two big hires as the studio continues to drive growth across markets around the world.

John Chasoulidis Abela joins from Gaming Corps as Studio Manager while Anatoly Rossinsky joins from Caruso as Senior Devops Manager with Green Jade set to make additional hires in the coming months to support its ambitious expansion plans.

Chasoulidis Abela has a background in video game development, founding his own start-up studio at the age of 21 and designing and creating more than 150 mobile and web game products. He entered the iGaming world seven years ago as Game Producer for Yggdrasil Gaming.

As Studio Manager, he will strengthen Green Jade’s Innovation Hub, guide the design and development of the latest slots and skill-based arcade games to leave its production line as well as drive awareness of the studio through cutting-edge features and innovations.

The addition of Rossinsky, who has over 10 years experience in architecting infrastructures in Banking and e-Commerce, will also help Green Jade focus on improving platform functionality over the coming months as part of efforts to deliver a superior player experience across its growing portfolio of titles.

Ben McDonagh, CEO at Green Jade Games, said: “I am delighted to welcome both John and Anatoly to Green Jade as we continue to build out a team of the brightest minds and creative talents in the industry.

“Green Jade has been riding an incredible growth trajectory in recent months thanks in part to the ground-breaking content we have produced. With John and Anatoly on board, we will be able to push even more boundaries and deliver the next generation of casino games to operators and players.”

John Chasoulidis Abela, Studio Manager at Green Jade Games, said: “I am looking forward to applying my experience in traditional video and mobile games to what Green Jade is trying to achieve with its casino and skill-based arcade games.

“We believe the future of the casino industry is skill-based arcade games, and Green Jade is already considered the leader in this field. We have some incredible games in the pipeline that promise to take the player experience to the next level and I can’t wait for them to launch.”

First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.

Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.

The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.

The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.

“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.

Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

The JUSTIN2026 campaign was shot in Denver and rolls out over four weeks ahead of the 14 June event at the White House.

Duelbits has launched a branded content campaign with UFC interim Lightweight Champion Justin Gaethje, timed to UFC Freedom 250 at the White House on Saturday 14th June.

The campaign, branded JUSTIN2026, was shot on location in Denver, Colorado by UK-based creative agency YRDS. Duelbits said the content is designed as a “premium, cinematic series” and will roll out in phases over the next four weeks, peaking on event day.

According to the company, the campaign was planned before UFC Freedom was officially confirmed. Duelbits framed the early commitment as part of a strategy to move faster than traditional sportsbooks around major cultural moments.

“We didn’t want to create another sportsbook promo,” said Jasper Hoekert, Chief Marketing Officer at Duelbits. “We wanted to create something that combat sports fans want to watch, content built around Justin’s authenticity and intensity, not just his fight record. We were planning this before the White House event was even officially confirmed. When you believe in the magnitude of a moment, you don’t wait for permission to act on it.”

“Duelbits came to me with a vision, not just a brief,” said Gaethje. “They wanted to create something that reflected the reality of what I do and who I am, with no smoke and mirrors. When a brand shows up with that kind of conviction and creative ambition, you back it. This campaign is going to be something people remember.”
