Commenting on Martin Stålros’ appointment to CEO, Patrik Osteraker, Chairman of the Board at Relax Gaming, said: “I am delighted to see Martin Stålros stepping up to the CEO role at Relax Gaming. Martin has been involved with Relax from the very early days and has had a material impact on the success of the company. As the business and organisation continues to mature and grow we feel that Martin has the ideal profile needed to support and guide us on our ambitious growth trajectory. Martin has full support from the Board to implement the strategy set out for Relax Gaming.
“The Board and myself also wish to extend a heartful thank you to the outgoing CEO, Simon Hammon, who has been absolutely instrumental in building Relax to the position we are in today. We wish him all the best in life and in his new projects. Thank you, Simon.”
Adding to this, Simon Hammon said: “Martin is the natural choice to take the reins at this pivotal junction following my decision to move on from Relax Gaming. Having proudly invested the past five years in Relax’s outstanding growth journey, it is safe to say that I wholeheartedly believe in and will always cherish the company and team within it.
“As Relax moves into its next stage, Martin’s extensive understanding of the company’s DNA, offering, and team, along with his passionate yet pragmatic approach, will enable him to successfully steer Relax to achieve all the goals set. It has been a true honour serving as CEO of Relax gaming for two years, and I look forward to seeing what the future brings them.”
Martin Stålros, CEO of Relax Gaming added: “Having the opportunity to step up as CEO after seeing the company grow from 30 to 350 people during my time as COO is tremendously exciting. I’m humbled by the task and it’s the strength of the team that surrounds me which makes me even more motivated about the challenge.
“My predecessors have built a stable ship and a close working relationship with both Patrik Österåker, the Founder, and Simon Hammon, the previous CEO, has given me great insight. My aim is to combine their strengths with my own to drive Relax Gaming into further growth as we continue to expand to new markets and embrace opportunities, while always maintaining outstanding tech, exceptional service, strong relationships, and our core values.”

Crown of Fortune
TaDa Gaming Crowns Classic Style with Expanding Wilds and Locked Respins in Crown of Fortune

Reading Time: < 1 minute
TaDa Gaming, the award-winning casino content provider, invites players to spin for royal rewards in Crown of Fortune, a vibrant 5×3 slot featuring expanding Wilds, locking respins and dazzling payout potential of up to 1000x the bet.
Blending nostalgic fruit slot charm with polished, modern mechanics, Crown of Fortune captures the timeless allure of classic gameplay—enhanced by Wild-driven action that builds tension and delivers rewarding moments spin after spin.
The key to the crown lies in its Expanding Wild and Respin Feature. When a Wild lands anywhere on the reels, it expands to fill the entire reel and locks in place while triggering a Respin. Each new Wild that lands continues the chain reaction, locking and expanding to increase the chances of massive wins. The feature continues until no new Wilds appear—or until all five reels are covered in gold.
With 20 fixed paylines, smooth reel animations and a crisp soundtrack reminiscent of traditional slot halls, Crown of Fortune offers straightforward yet exhilarating gameplay for players who appreciate the classics but crave something fresh.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Crown of Fortune takes the essence of traditional fruit slots and elevates it with our signature Wild mechanics. The expanding and locking Wilds deliver an exciting balance of simplicity and suspense—ideal for both newcomers and fans of pure slot action.”
