Former Evolution Gaming Head of Engineering, Alex Haywood, joins Interactive Gaming Group as CTO
Following two decades of working in technology with hyper-growth companies, Alex Haywood, former Evolution Gaming Head of Engineering is joining leading media technology company – Interactive Gaming Group as CTO.

Streaming is going to be one of, if not, the hyper growth market for some time in technology – and we will be on the cutting edge of that. The opportunity to work with Cristina, a key player in this space meant this was a chance too good to turn down.”

Gems of Ra 3 Pots
Evoplay Opens the Portal to Wealth in Gems of Ra 3 Pots
Evoplay, the acclaimed game development studio, has unveiled a sunlit Egyptian tale with the launch of Gems of Ra 3 Pots, its newest slot game where holy riches and celestial enhancements influence every spin.
Nestled among majestic pyramids, Gems of Ra 3 Pots crafts a realm overseen by the deities Anubis, Horus, and Isis, each bestowing distinct abilities that alter the Bonus Game.
Wilds show up on reels two to five, replacing all standard symbols to form winning combinations. They can appear as individual icons or in complete stacks, boosting the likelihood of triggering payouts in the base game.
Central to the experience are four kinds of Bonus symbols: Blue, Red, Green, and Money, each with random values and the chance to activate Mini, Mega, and Super jackpots.
Activating the Bonus Game occurs when landing Blue, Red, or Green symbols with a matching booster. The Extra Wealth enhancer boosts the worth of as many as four Bonus symbols, while Extra Reels introduces a separate independent bonus area, with both grids merging their rewards at the conclusion of the round. The Extra Spins booster enhances the feature to four spins, prolonging the pursuit of treasure even more.
The Bonus Game can be activated with one, two, or all three boosters at the same time. In this feature, only Money Bonus symbols are present, and gathering all 15 spots grants access to the Grand Jackpot.
Featuring win potential exceeding 6,000x, the game combines a traditional Egyptian slot ambiance with a contemporary feature design centered on strategy-focused bonus upgrades.
Ivan Kravchuk, CEO at Evoplay, said: “Gems of Ra 3 Pots is all about discovery and escalation. We wanted to create a slot that captures the grandeur of Egyptian mythology while giving players meaningful ways to influence the Bonus Game through the different god-powered boosters.
“It’s a title that combines atmosphere, clarity, and strong win potential, offering a fresh take on a theme players continue to love.”
