Pasha Hotel & Casino Group, one of the most recognisable brands in the gaming industry in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC), and Platinum Casino – an established name on the Bulgarian market, have entered into a strategic partnership and launched a new premium casino brand in Bulgaria.
The new PASHA PLATINUM CASINO opened its doors at the prestigious Grand Hotel Plovdiv – located in the heart of the country’s second-largest city and one of the fastest-growing destinations in the region.
The PASHA PLATINUM CASINO has introduced its guests and the local fans of gaming an entirely new level of casino experience, combining international casino-resort style, high standards of service and a modern gaming environment.
A Blend of International casino-resort Style and Local Energy
Pasha Hotel & Casino is a brand associated with luxury, atmosphere and memorable experiences, attracting guests from across the Mediterranean region. Platinum Casino, on the other hand, is a well-known name in Bulgaria, with a loyal customer base and a strong market presence.
The combination of Pasha’s gambling concept, luxurious style and international expertise with Platinum Casino’s dynamics and deep understanding of the local market creates a unique project with the ambition to become a leading entertainment in one of the oldest cities in Europe. The city of Plovdiv is a cultural and social hub of international significance, located just 2 hours’ drive from both Turkey and Greece. Grand Hotel Plovdiv, a benchmark symbol of comfort and prestige, provides the ideal setting for the new casino.
PASHA PLATINUM CASINO is the most attractive part of the overall experience offered by the hotel complex – a combination of accommodation, gastronomy and high-end entertainment.
APEX Slot Machines
The casino features a selection of the best performing models of slot machines of Apex Pro Gaming, which have been ranked at the top among the most advanced and preferred gaming solutions in Europe. The installed Apex Pinnacle Slant top machines equipped with Clover Link Elements platform run at impressive, portrait J-curved displays are distinguished by outstanding design and ergonomics, dynamic and thrilling gameplay and a wide variety of games providing immersive features and high-adrenaline progressive jackpot prizes.
The game mix of Clover Link Elements is tailored both to experienced players and to new visitors seeking entertainment and an exciting experience.
The Grand opening of the Casino complex took place on 4 April 2026 in Plovdiv, Bulgaria and gathered thousands of guests for the weekend, who enjoyed the opulent atmosphere and the bespoken hospitality of two of the masters of entertainment in the region.
Sonya Nikolova, Global Sales Manager at APEX, said: “We’re grateful to both Pasha Hotel & Casino Group and Platinum Casino for the trust they have placed in APEX products, and we’re confident in the quality, competitiveness, and creativity behind the Clover Link Elements platform as it continues to evolve.”
Built on a flexible architecture and a distinctive design concept, Clover Link Elements further strengthens APEX’s position as a preferred partner for premium casino operators.

SYNOT Games Enters into Partnership with Bulgarian Operator BETVAM
SYNOT Games has entered into a partnership with Bulgarian operator BETVAM, expanding its presence in the regulated market as it continues to broaden its footprint across the Balkan region.
SYNOT Games and BETVAM are joining forces in a collaboration shaped by shared principles rather than big declarations. The partnership opens the door for BETVAM’s players to access a curated selection of SYNOT Games’ certified titles, including hits such as Zeus Wild Thunder, Amazons’ Wonders and Legend of Medusa, which will now appear in the operator’s expanding library.
Unlike many industry tie‑ups, this one focuses more on alignment. Both companies place high value on operating transparently and within strictly regulated environments – a standard that has defined SYNOT Games’ approach to market expansion for years.
Martina Krajčí, CCO at SYNOT Games, said the collaboration is a natural step: “What matters to us is working with partners who share our belief in clarity, responsibility, and regulated growth. BETVAM fits that mindset well, and we’re pleased to see our titles become part of their offering.”
Georgi Ganchev, CEO of BETVAM, said: “Our goal has always been to bring players reliable entertainment from providers who operate with integrity. SYNOT Games is a strong match for that philosophy, and adding their content helps us continue building a platform players can trust.”
The collaboration strengthens SYNOT Games’ presence in Bulgaria while reinforcing its commitment to safe, compliant entertainment. With BETVAM adding more regulated content to its platform, players can expect an expanded selection delivered under transparent and responsibly managed conditions.
Both companies see this partnership as a practical, value-driven step – one that supports sustainable growth without resorting to bold promises or corporate fanfare.
