Press Releases
Prague Gaming Summit, MARE BALTICUM and CEEGC are set to return with new format in 2022
The leading conferences in the CEE and Baltic regions to return in 2022 to in-person gatherings, but with a new format.
The team at Hipther Agency is excited to reveal that in 2022, the in-person gatherings will return and the most talked-about conferences in the CEE & Baltic region will reign once again.
Participants are invited to some of the most luxurious conference rooms in Prague, Vilnius, and Budapest.
While the #hipthers conference portfolio quadrupled in 2021, the team is very much dedicated to keeping the traditions with the long-standing Prague Gaming Summit, MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit, BSG Awards, CEEGC, and the CEEG Awards.
“We have come a long way since launching our first conference back in 2016 which already had an interesting start by being interrupted by a bomb threat. In our first year, we have received the baptism of fire and we now know that nothing can stop us! We have adapted to current times and between March 2020 and December 2021 have quadrupled the numbers of conferences hosted throughout the year. If there is one thing we’ve learned over this one and a half year, it’s that virtual and hybrid events are here to stay. So, we will continue to bring some of our conferences in virtual-only mode and some in a hybrid format. To add to the excitement, all the events are available in virtual reality on our recently built hiptherverse. Prague, Vilnius, and Budapest are some of the most popular destinations of our conferences, thus we invite you to join us next year in these awesome destinations” stated Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at Hipther Agency.
The dates of the conferences and awards are the following:
- Prague Gaming Summit – 5 April (Prague, Czechia) – Registration is open. Register here!
- MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit & BSG Awards – 12 May (Vilnius, Lithuania)
- CEEGC + CEEG Awards – 27 September (Budapest, Hungary)
Numerology
Fun fact: In 2022, HIPTHER Agency is hosting 20 days of conferences and a total of 22 events. 20 days, 22 events = 2022
A new format for a new beginning
The new conference format is bringing new opportunities for quality boutique-style networking and the program is tailored to suit both the participants who are interested in the panel discussions and participants who are interested in growing their network/partner base.
The team has also added a new delegate pass starting from 2022, the Supplier Pass. This pass is dedicated to suppliers that are interested in having their company and services highlighted in front of the delegates.
Sustainable future
While recycling and reusing certain materials at the conferences are important steps towards achieving sustainability, the team is also sending a clear message about how conference organizers can directly impact the conservation of the planet’s ecosystem and biodiversity.
The events hosted by the #hipthers have always been applauded by the participants, and one of the strong points was the attention to the smallest details. Among the small details are the coffee breaks and complimentary buffet lunch.
While some might still argue, but meat-eating is one of the biggest environmental hazards facing our planet. The team has switched to fully plant-based menus in 2020 and will continue this path with the return of the in-person conference. The initiative has the full support of the venues in which the conferences are hosted and is considered to be a great idea by hotel managers who are already working on delicious plant-based meals for the delegates to enjoy in Prague, Vilnius, Berlin, Milan, and Budapest.
Hybrid time
While possible lockdowns or travel restrictions might still occur in 2022, all the conferences will also be available in the virtual format for industry professionals to be up to date with the content and starting 2022 can additionally be accessed in the hiptherverse.

Pascal Gaming signs Ronaldinho for football-themed crash and slot titles
First release is Avinho R10, followed by June launch Fortune Ronaldinho as the studio lines up more titles ahead of the World Cup season.
Pascal Gaming has partnered with Brazilian football player Ronaldinho to launch a dedicated portfolio of games inspired by the athlete, the company said on 26 May, 2026.
The planned pipeline includes crash games, slots and additional titles set to roll out through the year. Pascal Gaming said the initiative is aimed at both Brazil and international markets, and will be supported by tournaments, promotional activity and special events tied to the Ronaldinho-branded portfolio.
The first game confirmed is Avinho R10, described as a crash-style title featuring Ronaldinho “above Brazil” in an aviation-themed experience. A second game, Fortune Ronaldinho, is scheduled for release in June and is positioned as a slot-inspired title.
“Ronaldinho is one of the most recognisable and loved football personalities in the world, so for us this collaboration is much more than a game launch. It is a global entertainment project that combines football culture, emotionally engaging gameplay and strong promotional activities ahead of the World Cup,” said Armen Mnaskanian, Head of Sales at SoftConstruct Gaming Content.
Pascal Gaming said it has been expanding its crash game portfolio during 2026 and investing in localised, character-driven content across Latin America, Africa and Asia. The company added that more Ronaldinho-themed titles and marketing campaigns will be revealed in the coming months.

PokerStars Open Namur returns May 27 with €1m guaranteed Main Event
Belgium stop at Circus Casino Resort Namur runs May 27–June 7 and adds PokerStars Live League points toward a €157,500 credit pool.
PokerStars will bring PokerStars Open Namur back to Circus Casino Resort Namur from May 27 to June 7, with the festival returning one day after the operator’s May 26 announcement.
The stop follows a 2025 edition PokerStars said was record-breaking for Belgium, including 1,571 entries in the Main Event and what it called the largest live tournament prize pool in Belgian poker history.
This year’s schedule is headlined by the €1,100 PokerStars Open Main Event, which carries a €1,000,000 guaranteed prize pool. Other listed highlights include the €400 PokerStars Open Cup (May 27-31), €3,300 Super High Roller (June 1-2), €2,200 High Roller (June 5-6), and €800 Mystery Bounty (June 6-7).
“Last year’s turnout reinforced Namur’s place as one of the most exciting live poker stops in Europe,” said Cedric Billot, Associate Director of Live Events Operations at PokerStars. “What makes the event special isn’t just the size of the fields, it’s the atmosphere around the entire festival.”
PokerStars also positioned Namur as a scoring stop in the PokerStars Live League, which awards points across High, Medium and Low leaderboard tiers. PokerStars said players are competing for a share of €157,500 in PokerStars LIVE event credit, with the top 30 players in each tier qualifying for a €100,000 freeroll at the first European Poker Tour festival of 2027.
