Sought-after slot software providers continue European expansion by teaming up with Danish online casino giants

Stakelogic, the in-demand software studio behind state-of-the-art slots Black Gold 2, Apes of Doom, have announced they will be continuing their rapid expansion across Europe via a new partnership agreement with Danish online casino, Danske Spil.

The deal will see the popular Scandinavian casino platform host Stakelogic’s full suite of slots, meaning players will be able to enjoy all of the studio’s hottest releases as well as a wide range of titles from the hugely successful Greenlogic® Partner Program – an innovative initiative that sees Stakelogic supply the game logic and back-office integration for games from other boutique software developers.

Having already made substantial inroads into the recently regulated Dutch igaming market and also put pen to paper on a huge deal with Ukrainian giants, Parimatch, the partnership with Danske Spil represents another significant step forward in Stakelogic’s European distribution plans and will now see their innovative catalogue of slots and games brought to a brand-new Scandinavian audience.

This means Danish players will now be able to experience titles that feature the studio’s trademarked Super Stake mode – an optional extra that allows them to increase their starting stake in exchange for a number of incentives.

Games to include this signature Stakelogic addition include Extreme, Lucky Gold Pot, which plunges players deep into the heart of the Amazon as they search for Free Spins and wins of up to 2,976x their stake across two sets of 3×3 “Dual Reels”.

With all that and more now available at Danske Spil, the new deal represents an exciting time for players at the site – and both parties are optimistic the partnership will prove a huge success going forward.

Olga Bajela, CCO of Stakelogic, said: “At Stakelogic, we believe that if you’re not moving forward, you’re staying still – and our latest partnership deal with Danske Spil reaffirms our commitment to ensuring players from all across Europe get to try out our exciting collection of games.
“Danske Spil are one of the best-known casino brands in Denmark and now that we’ve teamed up with them, players from the country will get to experience the full range of innovative gameplay features our slots provide, including Super Stake mechanic.”

Christian Bækgaard, Head of Product at Danske Spil said: “We are thrilled to now be able to host Stakelogic’s full suite of slots. The new deal will help us provide players with an even greater choice of gaming options and further cement our position as Denmark’s leading online casino brand.”
