Lady Luck Games signs exclusive Letter of Intent with the intention of acquiring Revolver Gaming
Lady Luck Games has signed an exclusive Letter of Intent (LOI) with the intention of acquiring Revolver Gaming. The London-based studio provides innovative and high-quality games under its own brand. Its games are developed in HTML5 and distributed through its own RGS platform.
Through Revolver Gaming’s own aggregator platform, the company offers a frictionless integration to third party gaming providers with distribution to its growing network of operator customers. It also offers a customised game design and development service with which the company produces tailored and exclusive content of the highest industry standard in everything from concepts, mathematics, art and sound to programming and integration.
Revolver boasts 15 unique games, with nearly 30 integrations reaching markets and countries in Europe, South America and Asia. The company has a strong development roadmap, with a number of new games also due for release in the coming six months. This game and integration pipeline will be further enhanced with the support of Lady Luck Games, accelerating growth and reach into 2022.
By the completion of this transaction, Lady Luck will add two new operational partners in the form of Carl Waahlin and John Penntoft. Waahlin is an iGaming professional with over 20 years experience at delivering innovative and game changing products to Asia whilst Penntoft is an Asia-based entrepreneur and early phase investor in iGaming and tech.
Mads V. Jørgensen, CEO of Lady Luck Games said: “This is our second acquisition in the last three months and I am pleased to be able to show our shareholders and the market that we are delivering on our set acquisition strategy.
“The fact that LL Lucky Games can acquire a company of this calibre is a clear signal of strength. We have identified a number of clear synergies and I am extremely happy to have the privilege of working with the ambitious team at Revolver Gaming in the future.
“By combining the innovation of the Revolver Team with the industry know-how of two iGaming legends like Carl Waahlin and John Penntoft, I am convinced that we will have great benefit in the coming years by utilising their expansive knowledge and networks, particularly in the important Asia market.”
Daniel Lazarus, founder of Revolver Gaming, said: “The opportunity for a merger between Lady Luck Games and Revolver Gaming is fantastic for both parties. Ever since we started our first discussions, we have been impressed by their passion for our business and their willingness to support our ambitious plans for the future.
“The potential synergies, the expanded market reach that the deal brings and the amazing team at has convinced us that Revolver, with support from Lady Luck, will continue to develop in the best possible way and further strengthen our commercial presence and customer offering. We are glad to start this journey together and look forward to exciting years ahead.”.
Carl Waahlin, new operational partner of Lady Luck Games, added: “The team at Revolver has built a fantastic portfolio of games by focusing on a gamified and interactive approach that appeals to a wide range of players, not just traditional RNG players.
“By combining Revolver’s content and know-how with Lady Luck’s proven ability to aggressively acquire content to refine and launch to the market, we create a very exciting opportunity for everyone involved. I am extremely interested to see what these two brands can accomplish together on a global scale – especially in the rapidly evolving Asian markets.”
The parties have agreed that the purchase price shall consist of a combination of cash and newly issued shares. The cash part amounts to EUR 750,000. The other part of the purchase price is paid against a reverse that is then set off against approximately 4,200,000 newly issued shares in LL Lucky Games AB (publ) through a set-off issue made at a stock price of SEK 3.00. This should be seen in relation to the fact that the Company’s total number of outstanding shares as of today amounts to 44,905,472. The dilution through the offset issue amounts to approximately 8.5%.
The parties intend to complete the transaction in Q4 2021-Q1 2022 following the usual due diligence procedure.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
