As ProgressPlay marks its 12th anniversary, the company reflects on a journey defined by resilience, innovation, and remarkable leadership. At the heart of this transformation is Marina Nahhas, whose inspiring career trajectory exemplifies ProgressPlay’s core values of excellence and customer focus.

Marina Nahhas joined ProgressPlay in 2016, stepping into the dynamic iGaming industry with a passion for building relationships and driving results. Her expertise in customer service, team building, and strategy quickly became apparent, earning her recognition and steady promotions within the company.

By 2019, Marina took on a pivotal role in the B2B division, a move that not only marked a milestone in her career but also set the stage for ProgressPlay’s rapid growth. Her transition into B2B sales and account management brought a fresh vision to the company, reinforcing its position as a trusted partner for online gaming operators.

Marina’s tenure in B2B has been marked by outstanding achievements. Between 2019 and 2023 as Head of Sales, she led the addition of over 90 new brands to ProgressPlay’s platform, a testament to her ability to identify opportunities, onboard new partners, and foster long-term loyalty.

Her strategic initiatives underpinned several groundbreaking innovations that solidified ProgressPlay’s industry leadership:
Standalone Platform Services: Offering unparalleled flexibility for clients to customise their offerings.
Compliance Leadership: Navigating the complexities of regulatory landscapes to ensure safe and legal operations globally.
Enhanced Gamification Features: Boosting player engagement with innovative tools such as points, badges, and rewards.

In 2024, Marina stepped into the role of Head of B2B Sales & Marketing, cementing her status as a trailblazer in the iGaming industry. Her responsibilities now extend to managing a global sales pipeline, negotiating partnerships, and representing ProgressPlay at flagship events such as ICE London, SiGMA Asia, and SiGMA Europe.

With Marina’s guidance, ProgressPlay has not only expanded its portfolio to include thousands of games but also refined its reputation for delivering tailored solutions that empower its clients to succeed.

Marina’s journey from a VIP Account Manager to a pivotal leadership role showcases her resilience and dedication. Her Master’s degree in Medical Microbiology from Queen Mary University of London has equipped her with a sharp analytical mindset, further enhancing her ability to strategise and lead.

Marina’s philosophy centres around empowering ProgressPlay’s partners, fostering trust, and ensuring operational excellence. Her unwavering commitment has made her a linchpin in ProgressPlay’s continued success and a source of inspiration for colleagues and industry peers alike.

As ProgressPlay celebrates this milestone, the company looks to the future with optimism. With Marina Nahhas at the helm of its B2B division, the company is poised to maintain its upward trajectory, staying ahead of industry trends and driving innovation.

“Innovation, integrity, and customer focus are at the heart of everything we do,” Marina says. “ProgressPlay’s journey is only just beginning, and I’m excited to continue driving our growth alongside our amazing team and partners.”

As ProgressPlay celebrates its anniversary, it does so with gratitude for the visionary leaders who have shaped its story and excitement for the opportunities that lie ahead.

Reflecting on Marina’s contributions, Itai Loewenstein, ProgressPlay’s CEO, shared, “With Marina Nahhas steering ProgressPlay’s B2B future, the company is well-positioned to remain a dominant force in the ever-evolving iGaming industry.”

Tom Horn Gaming is turning up the heat with its latest release, 243 Chili – a fiery fruit slot that blends vibrant visuals with proven mechanics to boost player engagement and operators’ revenues.

Set under the blazing Mexican sun, the reels of 243 Chili burst with colour, bringing together ripe tropical fruits and sizzling chillies. The visuals add flavour, but it’s the gameplay that sets the reels on fire with 243 Wild wins, 5 simple winlines transforming into 243 ways to win,  respins, and multipliers of up to x5.

Tom Horn’s proven 243 Wild respin feature, a favourite among players who enjoy short, fast-paced feature cycles with high win potential, takes centre stage in this game. When the 243 Wild lands on the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th reel in a winning combination, it triggers the criss-cross mode with a respin and dynamic multipliers that can climb up to x5.

The addition of QuickX™, Tom Horn’s proprietary bonus buy feature, allows higher-stakes players and thrill-seekers to jump straight into the hottest action – a guaranteed respin round with a multiplier. By purchasing a multiplier of their choice, ranging from x1 to x5, players can increase the intensity of their experience.   Playing with an x1 to x4  multiplier allows for a progression up to an x5 multiplier. This rare addition of a bonus buy option to the classic fruit slot game gives 243 Chili a competitive edge and makes it stand out in a crowded fruit slots market.

243 Chili brings together one of our most successful mechanics – 243 wild respin – enhanced with QuickX™, giving players even more control over their gameplay, said Ondrej LapidesCEO at Tom Horn Gaming. It’s a perfect example of how we balance simplicity with innovation in a simple yet engaging slot that is set to drive higher revenues for our operator partner.

243 Chili delivers medium volatility gameplay across a 5×3 game grid, with bet levels ranging from €0.50 to €100. From seasoned punters to casual players who are drawn to colourful graphics and easy-to-grasp game mechanics, the game speaks to a diverse player base. Its mobile-optimised design ensures that players can enjoy quick spins and crisp visuals on any device.

243 Chili goes on general release on 7 October worldwide.

  • UK sportsbook and casino Midnite provided free away supporter coach travel for Southampton fans for their 460-mile-round trip to Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane

  • Saints heroes Matt Le Tissier, James Beattie and Francis Benali joined supporters on board

  • Hyper-growth bookmaker Midnite is a sponsor of both Southampton and Sheffield United

Midnite, the fastest growing bookmaker in the UK, provided supporter coach travel for 100 Southampton supporters, as they set off on a 460-mile round trip to watch their beloved Saints take on Sheffield United at Bramall Lane.

Midnite, who are the official training kit partner of Southampton and the principal partner of Sheffield United for the 2025/26 season, created The Midnite Express, offering luxury travel filled with entertainment along the way for Tuesday night’s EFL Championship match.

The lucky Saints fans were joined on The Midnite Express coaches by Southampton legends, Matt Le Tissier, James Beattie, and Francis Benali.

With DJ sets, football quizzes and Q&As throughout, fans were treated to a unique experience, all designed to create unforgettable moments for these loyal supporters, while easing the financial strain that comes with away supporter travel.

And Saints fans went home happy as a 2-1 win meant they took the three points back to the South Coast.

Le Tissier, who scored 100 goals in 270 top-flight appearances for Saints, said: “With the cost of living crisis that we’ve got going on in this country at the moment, with the train services, it’s really difficult for fans to get to and from these away games.

“And The Midnite Express initiative of putting coaches on for the fans to get up to Sheffield United was absolutely brilliant. We had a good laugh!”

Former England and Southampton striker, James Beattie, added: “It was great to be part of The Midnite Express and travel down with the Southampton fans. We had a very fun journey and the fans put in a proper shift for such a long journey.”

Andrew Mook, Head of Brand Marketing at Midnite, added: “Everbody hates a long commute, but we wanted to create something for Southampton fans with a sprinkle of Midnite magic.

“These fans are what makes football what it is, and we wanted to reward them with a day that they won’t soon forget by spending the journey with Saints legends and fellow fans. The feedback has been brilliant, and we’re pleased to have been able to ease the financial burden while bringing fans closer to the teams they love.

“The match marked a unique and special moment for Midnite as both of our sponsored clubs met for the first time. We’re already looking forward to the return fixture in January, when we’ll be running the Midnite Express, this time for Sheffield United fans.”
