Having just secured its Swedish supplier licence, Stakelogic has marked the occasion by adding yet another operator to its growing list of big-name partners in the country with its games now live at Glitnor Group’s Lucky Casino and Happy Casino brands.

Stakelogic has emerged as something of a classic slot specialist, with its portfolio of games designed to appeal to fans of traditional slot machines. A feeling of nostalgia is stirred as the fruit, BAR, Bell and 7 symbols drop onto the reels in titles such as Multi6Player, Multi Player, Bonus Runner, Runner Runner Megaways and Big Runner Deluxe

Of course, this being Stakelogic, the gameplay is taken to the next level through Wilds, Multipliers and Free Spins to ensure plenty of big-win potential. These games have proved to be hugely popular in Nordic markets and have helped propel Stakelogic into tier-one status.

This has been helped further but the popularity of its video slots. These games are often highly volatile and combine striking design with powerful sound and gripping gameplay. This has seen these slots top the charts at a wide range of casino brands in markets across Europe and beyond.

Swedish players at Lucky Casino and Happy Casino can now fire up the reels at titles such as Money Track, Treasures of Ra, Spartans vs Zombies Megaways and just launched Greedy Fox.

But that’s not all. Many of these games come hooked up to Stakelogic innovations such as Super Stake and Spin to Win.

Super Stake allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering a bonus an insane win combinations landing, while Spin to Win takes players to two live prize wheels where they can spin for some truly incredible prizes.

Neil Tanti, Sales Manager at Stakelogic, said: “Glitnor is a rising star operator of two hugely popular Swedish brands, Lucky Casino and Happy Casino. We are thrilled to announce this partnership shortly after being awarded a supplier licence ahead of the anticipated regulatory change. This allows us to sign deals such as this and to continue to establish Stakelogic as a leading supplier in Sweden and beyond.”

Sven de Waard, Head of Games at Glitnor Group, added: “Stakelogic has been blazing a trail across the Swedish market and so it was vital for us to add its classic and video slots to the lobbies of Lucky Casino and Happy Casino.

Its slots really do pack a punch, especially when players activate Super Stake or trigger the Spin to Win feature. These are true innovations in the slot space and allow us to offer our players a unique experience which in turn helps us to continue to stand out in what is an incredibly competitive market.”

DreamPlay consolidates its status as a global player in the iGaming industry and opens an office and campus in Cyprus

DreamPlay’s ambitions go far beyond simple game development. With a new office in Limassol, the international iGaming solutions provider is expanding its presence in Europe and laying the foundations for a new philosophy of the iGaming business.

The location in Limassol was not chosen by chance – Cyprus has long become the European center of iGaming. It is here that key market players, large operators and financial structures supporting the industry are concentrated. And the high concentration of technology and talented developers allows DreamPlay to form its own ecosystem of talent.

If in the 2010s Cyprus became a hub for classic iGaming operators, today it is a point of attraction for technology companies that are betting on metaverses and the integration of games into a wider digital ecosystem. DreamPlay is one of those shaping this trend.

Google-style campus for game development talents

The DreamPlay office and campus in Limassol are part of the company’s international network of corporate campuses. Similar hubs already operate in Thailand, Bali, Peru, the UAE and Poland. They offer employees comfortable working conditions and the ability to move between locations, accommodation, meals, legal support for stays in different countries. And all this is at the expense of the company. -And the flexible work format and 4-day work week in the company helps DreamPlay talents maintain a healthy work-life balance. It’s all about well-established business processes and taking care of the team.

It’s nice to know that you can come to the country, and there is a Dream Campus where friends, like-minded people and someone who can simply take care of you are waiting for you. They will meet you at the airport, give you a tour, accompany you on medical or legal issues. It’s all part of the team.

“iGaming is an industry of emotions. Therefore, the people who create it should work where they feel best. Therefore, in our campuses we create an environment where the team can feel maximum freedom for creativity, focus on creating new breakthrough products. And not be distracted by everyday issues. And we are sure that this gives us a strategic advantage, because we are sure that our employees have received better conditions than their colleagues in other companies. Comfort, flexibility and freedom are part of our global philosophy of DreamPlay,” shares DreamPlay CEO Alex Tkach.

What does this mean for the market?

Opening a DreamPlay office in Cyprus is a wise decision, as the company is preparing to enter new markets and partner with the largest iGaming players. It is also a signal to the entire market that the company is moving into the league of global players who dictate trends, rather than following them.

If today Cyprus is another platform for international expansion, then tomorrow DreamPlay may turn into one of the first technology companies in iGaming, operating on the principle of large IT holdings.

And this is where the main intrigue lies: will DreamPlay become the one who fundamentally rethinks the very nature of the industry?

MLB Players Inc., a commercial affiliate of the Major League Baseball Players Association, and OneTeam Partners announced they’ve reached a licensing agreement with PENN Entertainment.

The agreement designates PENN’s sports betting platforms – ESPN BET in the U.S. and theScore BET in Canada – as Officially Licensed Sportsbooks of MLBPI.

PENN now has the rights to use MLB player names, images and likenesses on its sports betting platforms, marketing assets and promotional campaigns.

The deal also includes PENN’s retail sportsbook operations (32 retail sportsbooks at its casino properties, including 19 under the ESPN BET brand).

Last fall, FanDuel and MLBPI reached a similar licensing agreement after the MLB players’ union sued FanDuel and Underdog Fantasy in New York Supreme Court, accusing them of using the names and likeness of ballplayers on their players without permission.

”As baseball season gets underway, we’re excited to offer fans an enhanced betting experience that includes player likenesses, expanded wagering options and a more dynamic product. Partnering with MLB Players Inc. strengthens our connection to the league and its star players and creates additional opportunities to engage fans throughout the season,” said Jason Birney, Vice President of Operations at PENN Interactive.

OneTeam Partners specializes in commercializing group licensing rights for professional athlates, and is a joint venture between the NFL Players Association, MLB Players Association, Women’s National Basketball Players Association, MLS Players Association, and U.S. Women’s National Team Players Association.

“By integrating MLB player rights into PENN Entertainment’s platforms, this partnership brings fans closer to the game while unlocking new business opportunities in sports betting. It highlights the growing influence of players in shaping premium, fan-focused betting experiences while enhancing player NIL rights and widening distribution,” said Frank Arthofer, President of OneTeam Partners.
