Stadtcasino Baden Group acquires Gamanza Group AG

Gamanza Group AG, co-owned by Magnus Lindberg and Grand Casino Baden AG will be split up: The two existing 50% shareholders will each take over two business units and develop them further for their specific target groups. The transaction will strengthen the focus and ambition of the respective business units.
Stadtcasino Baden Group already holds, through Grand Casino Baden AG, 50% stake in Gamanza Group, which was founded by Swedish iGaming entrepreneur Magnus Lindberg. The group develops and distributes software that forms the technological basis for the operation of an online casino. This includes the platform (“Player Account Management System”), which manages the accounts of online players and provides the interfaces to other software modules and the individual online games. Another central element is the “Customer Engagement Platform”, a CRM tool that man-ages marketing activities and customer communication in real time.
In addition, Gamanza Group develops its own online casino games, as well as unique solutions for sports betting operators. The board sees great potential in all business areas.
Games and sports betting to be transferred to a new company structure of Magnus Lindberg
Stadtcasino Baden Group and Magnus Lindberg have agreed that the excellent starting position of Gamanza Group can be best leveraged by the two owners dividing the business units.
The two business units of game development and sports betting will be fully owned by Manus Lind-berg and continue operations under his management. Stadtcasino Baden Group will take over the units of Player Account Management System and Customer Engagement Platform and continue to manage these under the Gamanza brand.
Strong growth over the last two years
As part of the split, Grand Casino Baden AG is taking responsibility for around 60 employees of the Gamanza Group who work at the offices in Slovenia and Costa Rica, while around 30 employees at the locations in Serbia, Sweden and Malta will move with Magnus Lindberg.
Gamanza Group has grown rapidly over the past 24 months. The team was expanded from the original ten people, up to 90 as of today and Gamanza Group is now the market leader in Switzerland as a technology partner for online casinos. In Switzerland, five online casinos already work with the Gamanza platform. Two of them are online, three are in the preparation phase.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the financial aspects of the transaction.

Reflex Gaming dances with the dead in Dead Lucky DuoMax™

Reflex Gaming, the UK-based omni-channel gaming supplier, takes players on a vibrant journey to the afterlife in its latest online slot, Dead Lucky DuoMax™, powered by Yggdrasil. Bursting with colour and character, the game is set in a dazzling Día de los Muertos celebration, where skeletons and festive spirits turn every spin into a thrilling party.
Players join the skeleton guitarist, Dead Sheeran as he chases explosive wins in a realm where the dead never sleep.
The game features a dynamic 5-reel, 3-row layout, 243 ways to pay, taking excitement to a whole new level. The DuoMax Game Engagement Mechanic (GEM) is an innovative feature that alternates payout directions with each consecutive win, switching between left-to-right and right-to-left, to create a fast-paced and highly dynamic gameplay experience.
Dead Lucky DuoMax™ also includes a Free Spins Gamble feature. This is activated when 3, 4, or 5 Bonus symbols land or cascade into view during the base game. Players are then given the choice to collect their awarded Free Spins or risk it all in an ‘all or nothing’ gamble for the chance to win more. It’s a bold mechanic that adds a layer of strategy and suspense before the bonus round even begins.
In the base game, every four consecutive dropdowns will trigger the Calavera Bonus, while in Free Spins mode, only three are needed. This bonus delivers one of several potential rewards, each chosen at random—Multiplier Boost, Double Wild, Wild Stack, or even an Extra Life to keep the action going.
The Guitarist Bonus brings unexpected magic to losing spins. At random, Sally Samba, a mischievous winged fairy, may appear after a non-winning spin, burning away an entire reel column and replacing it with new symbols that guarantee a win or trigger Free Spins.
Mat Ingram, Chief Product Officer at Reflex Gaming, said: “Dead Lucky DuoMax™ is all about energy, colour and rhythm — both in theme and gameplay. We’ve taken inspiration from the spirit of Día de los Muertos to deliver a game that’s as joyful as it is volatile. With the DuoMax mechanic, players can expect fast-paced action that rewards the bold.”

SBC Summit’s INFINITY Lisbon Levels Up with Timmy Trumpet on the Decks

Blending classical training, jazz roots, and EDM firepower, Timmy Trumpet will take the stage at the INFINITY Lisbon closing party with a high-energy set that promises to close SBC Summit with a bang.
Taking place on Thursday, September 18th at the MEO Arena—which serves as the Super Stage during the day—the venue will transform into the ultimate party setting for the Australian DJ and producer, widely regarded as one of the most explosive live performers in EDM.
Known for his trumpet solos and crowd-hyping energy, his headline set will be open to VIP attendees and complimentary operator and affiliate pass holders.
“The Greatest Show in Gaming couldn’t happen without the greatest showman in EDM! Jokes aside, no one brings the fire quite like Timmy Trumpet,” said Rasmus Sojmark, CEO & Founder of SBC. “He’s that rare artist who can blend high-energy drops with live instrumentation and still keep the crowd bouncing from start to finish.”
Timmy Trumpet’s musical journey began at just four years old when he picked up the trumpet. By thirteen, he was named Young Musician of the Year and earned a full scholarship to the Conservatorium of Music, studying under the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Anthony Heinrich. Within two years, he became the lead soloist for the Australian All-Star Stage Band, touring Europe and performing at some of the world’s top jazz festivals.
His evolution into the electronic music scene came naturally, blending live trumpet with high-energy EDM—culminating in his breakout hit Freaks in 2014, which has since surpassed a billion streams across all platforms and contributed to a discography that has amassed over 5 billion streams worldwide.
Trumpet’s Tomorrowland debut in 2017 remains the most-streamed set in the festival’s history. In 2024, he reached a new career high, ranking 5th on DJ Mag’s Top 100. That same year, he closed the main stage at Tomorrowland in both Belgium and Brazil—his Belgium set becoming the most-viewed performance of the year and further cementing his legacy as one of the festival’s most iconic acts.
The DJ’s genre-blending style and electrifying energy have also led to collaborations with some of the biggest names in electronic music. His discography includes powerhouse tracks with global stars like Steve Aoki, Armin van Buuren, Afrojack, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Hardwell, KSHMR, R3HAB, W&W, and ALOK, among others.
“We already announced Alok last month as part of the INFINITY Lisbon lineup, and now confirming Timmy Trumpet means we’ll have two powerhouse DJs headlining the closing party—an experience I’m sure our attendees will truly appreciate,” said Sojmark.
This won’t be the first time SBC event attendees are treated to electrifying DJ performances. The tradition began last September during the debut edition of SBC’s flagship show in Lisbon, with headline acts including Darude, Miss Monique, and Don Diablo. It continued earlier this year at SBC Summit Rio, where Afrojack and Brazilian duo Dubdogz brought the energy behind the decks. Next, the tradition heads to SBC Summit Americas, where Steve Aoki will headline the INFINITY Florida closing party in Fort Lauderdale.
“It’s becoming a tradition—and one that both we at SBC and our delegates absolutely love,” Sojmark added. “Industry events are fantastic in so many ways. But they’re also demanding. Closing them with world-class acts creates an experience that’s both celebratory and memorable, which is exactly what SBC Summit is all about.
SBC Summit will return to the Feira Internacional de Lisboa and MEO Arena on 16–18 September. Set to welcome 30,000 industry professionals from around the world, the event will offer three days of in-depth educational content, a comprehensive exhibition floor, and networking opportunities.
