Evolution has entered into an agreement to acquire Livespins

Evolution AB (publ)’s wholly owned subsidiary, Evolution Malta Holding Limited, (“Evolution”) has entered into an agreement to acquire the entire issued share capital of Livespins Holding Ltd (“Livespins”). The acquisition will be for a total up-front cash consideration of EUR 5 million. In addition, Evolution will pay an earn-out based on Livespins’ performance 2026. Completion of the transaction is planned for Q2 2024 and is subject to certain closing conditions.
According to Evolution, the acquisition of Livespins fits perfectly into the “Product Leap” strategy, where the ambition is to break boundaries and bring product innovation to end users. Livespins will further strengthen Evolution’s online gaming portfolio by adding a new social category of live entertainment with a novel way of playing.
Livespins will continue as a brand in its own right within the Evolution Group – alongside Evolution, NetEnt, Red Tiger, Ezugi, Big Time Gaming,No Limit City and DigiWheel– adding a new type of player experience to the group’s product offering.
Livespins is an innovative game provider within live entertainment that allows operators to offer players to “bet behind” their favourite streamers, influencers or brand ambassadors and join the thrill as opposed to passively watching a stream. This effectively creates a social betting experience with multiple players participating in the same spin. If the streamer wins, so do the players.
This acquisition firmly establishes Livespins’ place in the industry and further improves the overall player experience as streamers will now be able to play games from all the top-tier game studios within the Evolution portfolio in addition to the 40+ studios already integrated.
Martin Carlesund, CEO of Evolution said, “Livespins is a unique proposition that has shown solid engagement metrics and adoption by players and one we believe will be a great addition to the Evolution portfolio. “Over the years, we have garnered a reputation for identifying new and interesting technology which is why I’m thrilled that we have reached an agreement with Livespins.”
Todd Haushalter, Evolution’s Chief Product Officer, commented: “Playing along with a streamer is a whole new way to play online casino games. This was on our roadmap, so when the opportunity with Livespins arose, things moved quickly. Bringing together the fantastic tech, processes and know-how of the team at Livespins with Evolution’s huge game portfolio, we will provide Livespins immediately with unparalleled distribution power via our One Stop Shop (OSS) integration. Twitch, YouTube, and other platforms have proven the popularity of live streaming while playing online casino games. We think players would love to play along with them and now that will be possible now, right from the Evolution lobby.”
Chris Scicluna, CEO of Livespins said, “This is an unprecedented milestone for Livespins and we couldn’t be happier to be joining the Evolution Group. “We are still in the start-up phase of our business and to attract the attention of Evolution, is incredibly rewarding. It also is a reflection of all the hard work that our team has poured into this concept since we launched and the unwavering belief that this product would revolutionise the industry.”

Viper City Heist brings a neon-soaked criminal caper to the reels

Play’n GO steps into the underworld of Viper City with its new slot, Viper City Heist, where cunning strategy and raw firepower lead to big rewards.
Viper City Heist throws players into a world of vault-busting gangsters and turf-war tensions. Led by the Boss, a crew of hard-bitten misfits reunites for one last job – a high-stakes hit on a rival gang’s underground vault. Every detail, from the moody neon skyline to the pulse of its synth-heavy soundtrack, immerses players in a cinematic clash of ambition and revenge.
Combining visual flair with exciting mechanics, this 5×3 slot with 20 fixed paylines offers a potent mix of instant prizes and feature-rich gameplay that stays true to Play’n GO’s signature storytelling style.
Two standout mechanics – Quick Hit and Heist Re-Spin – reflect the game’s fast-paced narrative. Quick Hit offers instant gratification by awarding visible Bonus Prize Symbols on non-winning spins, while Heist Re-Spin locks symbols in place for a shot at accumulating serious loot. The Vault Raid Free Spins take the intensity up a notch, launching with a Vault Wheel that sets both Free Spin count and Win Multiplier – with potential for 150 spins and a x10 multiplier. These features aren’t just flashy; they’re tightly woven into the game’s high-stakes theme, reinforcing Play’n GO’s commitment to seamless gameplay and compelling storytelling.
While Viper City Heist carves out its own identity, it echoes the gritty aesthetic seen in Cash Pump and the narrative depth of Mafia Gold. Fans of crime-laden slot tales will appreciate the layered characters, escalating tension, and multiple ways to take a rival’s riches. It’s a classic revenge story told through thrilling, player-first design.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, commented: “Viper City Heist captures that cinematic feel we strive for – it’s bold, stylish, and mechanically sharp. We think players will love stepping into this fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled world.”
With daring features and atmospheric flair, Viper City Heist is set to be a steal for fans of high-impact slots.

SYNOT Games enters the Argentinian iGaming market with Betsson as a trusted partner

SYNOT Games, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games and solutions, has officially entered the Argentinian iGaming market through a strategic partnership with Betsson, one of the most established and globally recognized operators in the industry.
This collaboration marks SYNOT Games‘ debut in Argentina and signals a significant step in the company’s ongoing expansion across Latin America. By joining forces with Betsson, SYNOT Games reinforces its commitment to working exclusively with trusted partners in regulated markets.
“Entering Argentina with a partner like Betsson is a proud moment for us,” said Martina Krajčí, Chief Commercial Officer at SYNOT Games.
“Latin America is a rapidly growing region in the iGaming space, and Argentina stands out for its dynamism and regulatory maturity. We’re excited to offer our premium portfolio to a new audience and deepen our footprint in LatAm.”
Sarah Micallef, Head of Global Gaming Operations at Betsson Group, also expressed enthusiasm: “We are pleased to welcome SYNOT Games to our portfolio in Argentina. Our focus has always been to offer our players top-tier content in every market we operate. SYNOT’s games meet our high standards for quality and entertainment, and we are confident they will resonate well with our Argentinian audience.”
Argentina’s online gambling sector has experienced significant growth in recent years, particularly following the 2021 regulatory shift that enabled provinces to license operators independently. Buenos Aires, both the city and the province, has become a focal point for major international brands, offering a regulated and competitive market environment that is ideal for industry expansion.
The deal strengthens SYNOT Games‘ positioning in Latin America, aligning with the company’s strategic roadmap of sustainable growth and responsible gaming in fully licensed jurisdictions. With an existing presence in Brazil and Colombia, this move into Argentina further consolidates SYNOT Games’ commitment to expanding across the most dynamic and regulated iGaming markets in the region.
