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.”

New software option replaces standard table announcements across cash games, tournaments and formats including All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold.

GGPoker on July 9, 2026 announced Action Voice, a new software feature that lets players replace standard table announcements with voice packs recorded by poker personalities, including Doyle Brunson.

The initial lineup named by the operator includes ten-time WSOP bracelet winner Doyle Brunson, Daniel Negreanu, Michael “The Grinder” Mizrachi and Kevin Martin, with additional voices “to be confirmed in the near future.”

Action Voice is available now across GGPoker’s product offering, including cash games, tournaments and formats such as All-In or Fold and Spin & Gold. Players can select voice packs in the desktop client via ‘My Page’ and then ‘My Action Voice’.

“Doyle Brunson may not be at the tables in the way that he used to, but his voice still can be,” said Sarne Lightman, Managing Director of GGPoker. “Action Voice is our way of keeping the legends who built this game part of the everyday experience – right alongside the players carrying it forward today, like Daniel and Michael. It’s a unique and fun new element to our software, and we can’t wait to reveal the rest of the lineup soon.”

GGPoker said more Action Voice packs will be announced in the coming weeks as it rolls out the full roster.
