Gaming1, the entertainment branch of Ardent Group, has signed a transformational deal for their next phase of growth.

The active shareholders in the Liège-based company, the leader in the Belgian gaming market, have partnered with CVC Capital Partners Fund VIII. CVC will bring their expertise to support the group’s growth in becoming a global reference in the regulated online gaming markets thanks to the continued development of their own technology and through their unique omnichannel approach.

A strong company growing quickly

The history of the group’s entertainment activities started in 1992 in Liège, parallel to the development of their land-based network, the company progressively developed a digital offering through their own technology platform. Today, as well as being a Belgian leader, Gaming1 is present in nine countries around the world, including Portugal, France and the United States with their joint venture Gamewise founded with the American giant Delaware North.

Only active in regulated markets, Gaming1 is exclusively positioned in legal, responsible and ethical gaming. Gaming1 strives to offer the best player experience, in a responsible way focused on regulated markets. The group has around 1,300 employees, including more than 400 in their digital hub in Liège.

To accelerate their growth and become a worldwide reference on the regulated online gaming market, the company wants to partner with a new shareholder capable of bringing global, sector and digital expertise. Emmanuel Mewissen, Sylvain Boniver and Nicolas Léonard, historical shareholders of Gaming1, will continue to be the reference shareholders in Gaming1 and look forward to post-completion partnering with CVC, once the regulatory approvals are in place. Throughout the process, Gaming1 was assisted by the financial advice of BNP Paribas Corporate Finance.

An experienced, first-class investor, fully aligned with Gaming1’s growth strategy

CVC is a leading global investment firm with US$125 billion of assets under management. CVC has experience in the sector through CVC funds’ investments in Tipico, the German sports betting company, the Italian operator Sisal, and the English business Sky Bet. They also have significant knowledge of the digital space through CVC funds’ investments such as ironSource, a leader in mobile advertising and mobile gaming technology markets, and Aleph, a leading global enabler of digital advertising.

CVC has an international network of 25 offices, including 13 in Europe, and an established team in the Belgian market. This choice also allows Gaming1 to stay loyal to their roots and continue to contribute to the development of the country’s economic fabric, a core element of Gaming1’s mission.

Emmanuel Mewissen, CEO and Founder of Ardent Group, said: “In a rapidly changing world, the key to success is adapting. By partnering with CVC, we will benefit from their global, sector and technology expertise, which will support our company to continue on our successful growth path and further build our digital capabilities. We will stay loyal to our values and Belgian roots, as shown by our recent move to our digital hub in the heart of Liège. This desire to anchor ourselves in and to contribute to our country’s growth is an integral part of our identity and will continue to guide us daily.”

A Key Meeting Point During iGB Affiliate 2026

Throughout both conference days, the N1 Partners stand maintained a steady flow of visitors and ongoing media attention.

In parallel, 300+ branded merch packs were distributed to stand visitors, reinforcing brand visibility and partner engagement throughout the event.

The stand experience combined business and interaction in a relaxed format.

Strong Media Engagement and Industry Dialogue

iGB Affiliate 2026 also served as an important media platform for N1 Partners. During the conference, the team took part in over 10 interviews and podcasts, sharing perspectives on affiliate marketing trends, partner expectations and sustainable growth within the iGaming sector.

Games Global and Stormcraft Studios extend the supernatural franchise with Immortal Romance: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo

Published

games-global-and-stormcraft-studios-extend-the-supernatural-franchise-with-immortal-romance:-sarah’s-secret-power-combo
Link&Win™, Power Combo™, and Wild Desire™ Purchase Feature unite in an exciting slot experience.
Games Global, alongside its exclusive studio partner, Stormcraft Studios, has launched Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™, the newest installment in the enduring Immortal Romance™ franchise.
Immortal Romance™, launched in 2011, has maintained a consistent presence in regulated markets, celebrated for its gothic style and story-driven gameplay structure. Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ enhances that groundwork, progressing Sarah’s narrative while offering a contemporary, feature-rich slot.
Situated in a shadowy, supernatural environment, the launch traces Sarah’s transformation into a potent elemental entity, merging striking visuals with captivating mechanics and gameplay enhanced by intricate bonus features.
In the base game, Plasma Orb symbols accumulate in vials positioned above the reels, and once collections are complete, they trigger the Link&Win™ Bonus. The Cash and Jackpot symbols secure their positions as the feature starts with three re-spins, resetting with every new symbol that appears, and filling all spots grants the Mega Jackpot.
Extra interest is added with five modifiers: Supernova, Barrage, Surge, Magnify, and Twin Flames. Every modifier offers a distinct prize, and activating several modifiers simultaneously creates the Power Combo™, revealing as many as 31 potential feature combinations. These combinations create different structures and payout dynamics, guaranteeing that no two bonuses unfold alike.
Sarah’s Feature ensures participation in the Link&Win™ Bonus with several modifiers already in effect, while the Twin Flames modifier may grant a double Link&Win™ Bonus, with each round operating separately.
In addition to the fundamental bonus mechanics, the renowned Wild Desire™ Buy Feature makes a comeback as an optional enhancement. With a bet of 100x, the feature provides a solitary spin across 1,024 winning possibilities, during which as many as five reels can become fully Wild, presenting increased win potential of up to 10,000x.

Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ is a visually striking slot designed for operators seeking established IP, with the release further showcasing Games Global’s commitment to curating diverse, high-performing franchises for its partners.

Terence Igesund, Executive Producer at Stormcraft Studios, said: “Immortal Romance™: Sarah’s Secret Power Combo™ was created to move the Immortal Romance universe forward while staying true to what players love most about it. We focused on giving Sarah her defining moment, a personalised chapter so to speak. One that feels powerful and elevated, supported by gameplay that’s bold but cohesive. It’s a confident evolution of the brand and a clear signal of where the series is headed next.”
