Scieszka will spearhead Playson’s Compliance unit, fostering a culture of excellence as the company looks to extend its reach across regulated markets worldwide.

“Our enhanced growth strategy is rapidly taking shape and I hope we can continue to secure some exciting licences.”
Alex Ivshin, CEO at Playson, said: “It brings us great pleasure make promotions from within the company. Michael, Christos and Martyna thoroughly deserve their new positions within Playson’s senior team.

Spinomenal unveils Queen of Rome slot

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has crowned a strong few weeks with the launch of its new title Queen of Rome – part of the Mythology series.
Queen of Rome unfolds surrounded by ancient Roman ruins and the 5×4 reels are set within two towering, weathered columns. A resplendent queen represents the Wild symbol and the other top symbols are made up from a golden helmet, roman shield, ornate vase and silver harp.
In the main game, the queen counts for any symbol except free spins and bonus symbols. Landing five Wild symbols on a winning line pays x2,000 the bet.
Queen of Rome has two grand features, a Bonus game and Free Spins. Three or more Scattered Free Spins symbols will trigger the free spins feature. Before Free Spins begin, players can either accept the current total or select the gamble button for a bid to earn more – players can win up to 50 free spins. During free spins, one to three stacked Wilds will be located on random reels for each spin, and magnify the chances of winning
The bonus game begins only when three or more Scattered Bonus Symbols appear on screen. Players start with three spins and the mission is finding as many crowns as possible to increase the multiplier metre which will pay out once the spins are finished. Each sector of the multiplier metre is filled by five winning symbols and there is an opportunity to bag an extra spin by finding the +1 symbol.
To add to the anticipation, the Bonus Game can feature Synced Reels and Expanding Reels, adding an extra layer of excitement for players.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Queen of Rome succeeds in enhancing our beloved Mythology series thanks to its gameplay and rewarding mechanics. This certainly is a jewel in the crown of our superb portfolio.”
