Stakelogic acquires Smart&Applied

Software developer will be renamed Stakelogic Serbia with the division moving into new offices in Belgrade later this year as slot provider strengthens in-house capabilities
Stakelogic, one of the most in-demand online casino content creators in the world, has acquired Serbia-based software developer Smart&Applied DOO in order to further enhance and grow its in-house game development capacity.
Smart&Applied was founded by Igor Marinkovic as a game development studio. The company has been working with Stakelogic for the past three years, making it the ideal acquisition target for the fast-growing slot developer.
Following the acquisition, Smart&Applied will be rebranded to Stakelogic Serbia with Marinkovic appointed as General Manager of the division. The company will also move into a new, state-of-the-art office in the centre of Belgrade later this year.
Stephan van den Oetelaar, CEO of Stakelogic, said: “The acquisition of Smart&Applied really strengthens our in-house development capacity and will allow us to continue to grow at pace while delivering new content to the market on a regular basis.
“Personally, I am really excited that Igor will be managing Stakelogic Serbia. We have become great friends over the years and his knowledge and experience is second to none. This really was a natural acquisition for us and one that I believe will deliver tremendous results over the coming years.”
Igor Marinkovic, General Manager of Stakelogic Serbia, said: “I am thrilled to become part of one of the fastest-growing game suppliers in the industry and to play my part in ensuring the business continues its rapid rise over the coming months and years.
“The relationship between Smart&Applied and Stakelogic has become incredibly strong as we have been working hand in hand on a daily basis for many years. An acquisition was the next obvious step, and I am pleased my team can continue to focus on game development under the Stakelogic name.”
Stakelogic is responsible for some of the most popular online casino content in the market with its games now live across more than 500 operators around the world. Last year it released 48 classic slots and video slots, many of which can be found in the top position of casino game lobbies.
The developer is ISO 27001 certified, and its games are certified in key markets including the UK, Malta and Romania.

Amusnet to Participate in Belgrade Future Gaming 2025

Amusnet is going to participate in Belgrade Future Gaming 2025, one of Southeast Europe’s most influential gaming expos, taking place on May 27-28 in Belgrade. The event brings together regional operators, providers, manufacturers, and decision-makers, serving as a key platform for networking and business growth. At this year’s edition, Amusnet will present a selection of games and cabinets across its online and land-based portfolios, while spotlighting its strengthened commitment to the Serbian market.
Serbia holds a strategic role in Amusnet’s European expansion, offering strong potential through its established player base and evolving regulatory landscape. To lead this effort, Dejan Vukosavljevic recently joined the company as Country Director for Serbia, bringing over 17 years of industry experience.
“Joining the Amusnet team is a great honor and a challenge for me. Belgrade Future Gaming is the ideal platform to connect with operators and introduce our brand to a wider audience. This is a moment of expansion and significant progress for the company, and our offering is stronger than ever, featuring top-performing online and live casino games, along with outstanding slot machine models that set new standards and support our ambitious goals for this year and beyond. Serbia is a market with gold potential, and I’m proud to lead Amusnet’s journey here, building strong, lasting partnerships,” said Dejan Vukosavljevic, Country Director Serbia.
Visitors at the event will have the opportunity to experience Amusnet’s Type S slot cabinet series, developed to meet the highest expectations of the land-based sector. The lineup includes the versatile Type S27, Type S32 and Type S50, as well as the newly launched 55J, which features a striking 55-inch curved display. Combining premium design and exceptional finish, the 55J delivers a standout gaming experience. Powered by the AmuseBox platform, the cabinets support a top-notch selection of games, including player-favoirites like Extra Crown, Virtual Roulettes, the celebrity slot Stoichkov #8 and many more. A highlight is the top-performing 20 Golden Coins now recreated as a triple reel slot on Type S 50F and 55J to elevate player excitement with enhanced payout options.
Also drawing attention is Coin Gobbler, known for its dynamic cluster pay mechanics. Wins are generated by matching adjacent symbols rather than traditional paylines, while the Golden Coin Free Spins symbol adds excitement and increases win potential.
In addition to the product showcase, visitors are invited to join “Gold Rush at Amusnet Stand”, a two-day interactive activation filled with entertainment and amazing prizes – a grand prize draw for a 24-karat Golden Coin featuring Karađorđe, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising and founder of the Karađorđević dynasty – a powerful symbol of Serbian heritage.
Join Amusnet at Booth Y1 during Belgrade Future Gaming 2025 to explore its product portfolio, meet the local team, discover new business opportunities, and take part in the Gold Rush celebration.
