The Group officially formalizes the new working initiative built in the last 2 years, based on these three pillars

It has been 18 months since the world suddenly found itself facing a dramatic health emergency, that has inevitably revolutionized everyday life. Among the biggest changes that this pandemic has brought with it, is certainly the value of time and the importance of the personal and individual sphere beyond one’s role or job position.

This means for companies that the quality of life of employees has become a competitive asset and a key parameter for reviewing productivity based on people’s satisfaction and safety. This represents the core of the project that today is officially launched within the SKS365 Group offices: Work.Live.Play.

It is a more flexible working model that the company has been developing in the last two years and that the pandemic has further boosted. Work.Live.Play. is not just a choice of the place where to work. Its strength and innovation lie in the personalization of the working routine on the basis of a balance between the needs and requirements of each employee and the function and role he covers within the organization. Work.Live.Play. is a dynamic model that evolves over time, thanks to a constant collection of feedback from employees.

“There are different working routines in SKS365 – says Brian Dean, Chief People Officer of the Group – 100% remotely, 100% from the office, or a mix between the office and remote working. It is a method of differentiation within the company: a more flexible, engaging and dynamic way of working focused on the needs of each individual employee, taking into account wellbeing and safety, allowing people to create a more personal way of working while remaining productive in their roles. Furthermore – continues Dean – it allows us to plan and reorganize office spaces and additional technological requirements for a better work experience.”

No changes to hours per week, no adjustments to salaries, annual leaves and holidays or, least of all of the allowances. “No obstacles – specifies Dean –for people’s careers, no one will be penalized or left behind if he decides to work 100% remotely. We want to encourage people to feel free from outdated bonds and anachronistic dynamics that add nothing to individual productivity or performance. In our internal interviews with the managers and the HR team, we even gave green light to work from abroad or to spend the whole summer with the family, even for those who have decided on 100% office mode. In short, it is not the presence or physical attendance that we are interested in nourishing, but the moral aspect, the motivation and commitment of our employees: this is what we have always been aiming for. We are deeply convinced that a winning approach is based on finding the right balance between work, psychophysical wellbeing and free time. Employee satisfaction and wellbeing lead to higher employee productivity, especially in these times of uncertainty.”

“At SKS365 key to our work is customer service and a result oriented working culture – says Alexander Martin, CEO of SKS365 – that requires clear goals, active communication and a high degree of self-discipline and proactiveness by all staff. Driven by the global pandemic, we accelerated our flexible working model which has clearly proven to be successful. Across the group we realized higher productivity and better results. The future is clearly a hybrid model depending on roles, functional activities, and benefits of physical collaboration. While many tasks can be done effective remotely, including collaboration given modern tools, coming together for physical meetings grows togetherness and drives Live and Play with colleagues.”

The Group currently has employees, located in four offices: Serbia, Malta, Austria and Italy. 20 nationalities coexist under SKS365 corporate brand. WLP model ensures alignment with employment law under each jurisdiction of the four countries and adaptions of provided allowances & benefits. The new working model is perfectly aligned to the company culture book launched in 2019 in which it is stated that diversity and inclusion are the key pillars of its corporate identity.

On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.

Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.

As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.

The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.

To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side

A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.

Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.

Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.

Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.

“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.

Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
