Vicente Di Loreto, CEO of Codere Group since January 2018, has decided to gradually withdraw from his executive functions as CEO although will remain committed to the Group as Board member and senior advisor to the management team. This personal decision follows an intensive career spanning 35 year, most in an executive capacity, and will permit him to devote more time to his family and personal projects, while continuing to contribute his knowledge and experience to the Group in this new role.

In an orderly transition that, subject to shareholder approval, will be completed on June 30, Di Loreto will transfer his executive duties to Alberto González del Solar and Alejandro Rodino, both of whom will start to hold office as Co-CEOs on July 1, 2022.

“It has been an honour these last four years to be CEO of Codere Group. Alejandro, Alberto and I have been working together for many years and I am convinced that this new arrangement captures what is best for the Company. On completion of the restructuring, I have made a lifestyle decision and decided to pass on the baton of executive responsibility. This will allow me to have more time and flexibility, but my commitment to the project, the new board and the management team will remain intact in my new role as Director and senior advisor to the management”, declared Di Loreto.

Alejandro Rodino currently holds the position of Chief Strategy and Corporate Areas Officer. Previously he held the position of Retail COO for Spain and has been a key member of the executive team, with increasing responsibility for business operations and strategy. He has wide experience in the gaming industry and has been involved with Codere since 2003, either as a consultant or as an employee in various positions. He previously worked in investment banking, in several international assignments related to mergers and acquisitions, fund raising and strategic consultancy.

Alberto González del Solar has held the position of Retail COO since 2019. Before his current role he has been a key member of the executive team, assisting the previous Retail COO in Latin America, provisionally holding the position of IT and Platform Director and was part of the leading team implementing the Transformation Plan of the group. Previously, Mr. González del Solar managed the Argentinean business for several years, at a time when this business unit became the main EBITDA and cash contributor of the Group. Before joining Codere in 2005, he held management positions in several companies in Argentina.

Rodino and Gonzalez de Solar have worked closely together at Codere for over 15 years and have deep operational and strategic experience, both of the Group and the markets in which it operates. They are currently leading on the preparation of the Business Plan 2022-2026, which is under discussion with the Board and shortly to be finalized.

Christopher Bell, non-executive Chairman of Nueva Codere, explains: “Under the leadership of Vicente Di Loreto, the Company has achieved both an operational transformation and financial restructuring in extremely challenging circumstances. He has put all the pieces in place to allow the business return to growth after two years of pandemic. We are grateful for his achievements and fully support his decision, convinced that from his new position of responsibility he will continue to contribute knowledge and experience of great value to the Group. Alejandro Rodino and Alberto González del Solar are two professionals with in-depth knowledge of the industry and renowned throughout the Company, within which they have been cooperating from several positions of responsibility for more than 15 years. During the time we have spent together, we have been able to confirm their commitment and performance and I am excited and honored to be leading a business with a management team of this caliber and strength in depth”.

Feel the power of the moon in Midnight Queen from ICONIC21

When the moon rises, the Queen awakens, and big wins can be triggered in the latest slot release from the in-demand iGaming content provider

Online casino operators can give their players the fright of their lives with Midnight Queen, the latest slot launch from in-demand iGaming content provider, ICONIC21.

Midnight Queen is a Vampire-themed slot that’s perfect for entertaining players during the Halloween season and beyond.

It brings vampire mystique to a 5×4 gameboard, where every Moon symbol feeds the hunger for even bigger wins. But this is a game where power doesn’t strike at random; it accumulates.

Player engagement is high thanks to the anticipation built into the game.

Glowing Frames lock onto the reels and wait. Each Moon that lands inside then pushes the Global Multiplier higher, building tension across a 10-spin cycle.

On the final spin, all the Glowing Frames transform into Wilds, delivering the bite – and big win potential – that players have been waiting for.

This combination of anticipation and frighteningly big wins – the game’s max win is 5,000x – allows operators to draw players in and then deliver the thrills (and chills) they are seeking.

As with all ICONIC21’s online slot games, Midnight Queen is available in both real money and sweepstakes formats.

Edvardas Sadosvkis, CPO at ICONIC21, said: “Spooky season is very much upon us, and in Midnight Queen, operators have a slot game they can use to frighten players through spine-tingling gameplay and big win potential.

“The best thing about Midnight Queen is that the theme is enjoyed long after Halloween has ended, and the team has done a great job of producing a gameplay experience that draws players in, builds anticipation and then has the potential to deliver the big wins they are seeking.

“This is a great addition to our portfolio, and we look forward to seeing our operators add it to their lobbies and to benefit from the repeat play, high engagement and consistent revenue growth that Midnight Queen provides.”
