Exciting company adds serious firepower to its C-suite with major hire
La Royale Gaming Investments, a pioneering holding company that brings together a unique ecosystem of innovative online and offline companies through strategic mergers and acquisitions, has strengthened its executive leadership with the appointment of Eamonn Faulkner.
With over two decades of industry experience, Faulkner joins the company as Chief Operating Officer from his previous position at the renowned operator, Videoslots.
This is a major hire for La Royale Gaming Investments, bringing unrivalled experience and a high level of expertise to its management team.
Faulkner’s career is marked with stints at major operators, including Paddy Power where he spent eight years contributing to the brand’s development in a competitive landscape dominated by industry giants such as Ladbrokes, William Hill and bet365.
Subsequently, Faulker moved on to Betfair, assuming leadership of the Sportsbook Operations team. Following the merger of Paddy Power and Betfair, he joined the Matchbook Betting Exchange contributing to the development of their Customer Operations team.

Before joining La Royale Gaming Investments, Faulkner served as the Chief Operating Officer for the popular online casino brand, Videoslots, in Malta. In this role, he managed one-third of the company’s workforce, managing operations, customer service, payment processes, risk management, responsible gambling initiatives and sportsbook operations.

“That we can attract such a high calibre executive to the team is a testament to what we have in store as we further establish ourselves as a top-flight company in the industry. Eamonn will be crucial to achieving our goals and I look forward to working with him.”
Eamonn Faulkner, COO at La Royale Gaming Investments, added: “La Royale is a company with bold ambitions to become a major player in the global gambling industry and I am excited to be a part of what will be an incredible journey for the organisation.
“I know I can bring a lot to the table and play my part in ensuring we not only meet our goals but surpass them. I can’t wait to get started.”

The 5×5 video slot includes an Ante Bet option and Feature Buy, with a stated maximum win of 20,000x.
PG Soft has released Super Wildrix, a new 5×5 video slot built around expanding wild symbols and multiplier mechanics.
The title’s core mechanic is the Wildrix symbol, which lands with a x2 multiplier and expands to fill an entire reel. According to the company, all wins are multiplied by the total sum of active Wildrix multipliers when one or more expanded Wildrix symbols appear on the reels. Wild & Wildrix symbols substitute for all other symbols except Scatter.
A Free Spins Feature triggers with three, four or five Scatter symbols, awarding 10, 15 or 20 free spins. PG Soft said a Multiplier Wheel spins at the start of each free spin to reveal a multiplier between x2 and x100. If expanded Wildrix symbols land during the feature, their x2 multipliers are further multiplied by the wheel’s value before wins are paid. The feature can also award three extra spins if two Scatter symbols hit during free spins, and it can be re-triggered.
The game includes an Ante Bet option that increases the wager by 10x and, PG Soft said, guarantees at least one Wildrix symbol on every spin and free spin. A Feature Buy option allows direct access to the Free Spins Feature. PG Soft listed the maximum win as 20,000x the bet.
PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Super Wildrix is a heroically bold slot, putting players right in the middle of the action. The Expanding Wildrix symbol with its multiplier mechanics makes for real moments of excitement and the Multiplier Wheel during Free Spins can lead to some truly spectacular wins. We are thrilled to release a title that combines engaging gameplay with a story that really pulls players in from the first spin.”
