HIPTHER Announces In-Person Events Rebrand, Baltics Focus & Digital Events Lounge for 2026
HIPTHER, the global media hub and event organiser for the Gaming and Technology industries, is thrilled to announce its events’ rebrand and structural evolution for 2026 and beyond, including a stronger focus on learning and networking in the Baltics, as well as the launch of a new digital events lounge. The flagship HIPTHER Events are now rebranded as: HIPTHER Prague Summit, HIPTHER Warsaw Summit, and HIPTHER Baltics – which expands into three dedicated annual events, one in each Baltic capital.
10+ Years of Learning, Innovation & Networking
In 2026, HIPTHER celebrates ten years of impact on the events space for Gaming and Tech, marking the 10th anniversary of its flagship boutique summit in Central and Eastern Europe, long known as the Prague Gaming & TECH Summit.
Starting from the vibrant Gaming sector and anticipating the rapid convergence of Technology with iGaming, HIPTHER introduced sessions and networking opportunities for emerging industries such as Fintech, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, VR/AR, and more. This forward-looking vision established HIPTHER as the organiser of premier Gaming & Tech boutique events in Europe, gaining loyal participants from the most innovative companies.
Over the years, the flagship HIPTHER Events included:
- Prague Gaming & TECH Summit – the GameTech industry staple for CEE and beyond.
- MARE BALTICUM Gaming & TECH Summit – the networking hub of the Baltics, rotating between the Baltic capitals.
- European Gaming Congress (EGC) – the definitive gathering for Gaming leaders and experts in Warsaw.
HIPTHER 2.0: The Natural Evolution of Branding & Connections
2024 and 2025 saw the strategic communication of all events under the HIPTHER brand across channels and content. This strategy paid off with growing word-of-mouth recognition, as the community itself began referring to “HIPTHER Prague”, “HIPTHER Warsaw”, or simply “HIPTHER Summits”.
As a natural next step, HIPTHER Events are now rebranded as: “HIPTHER Prague Summit”, “HIPTHER Warsaw Summit”, and “HIPTHER Baltics”, with the latter expanding into three yearly events, one in each Baltic capital:
- HIPTHER Baltics: Vilnius (HIPTHER Vilnius)
- HIPTHER Baltics: Riga (HIPTHER Riga)
- HIPTHER Baltics: Tallinn (HIPTHER Tallinn)
Each conference will highlight the unique character and innovation of the local industries, while connecting them to Gaming and Tech leaders from across Europe and the globe.
Introducing the HIPTHER Lounge – Smart Digital Networking
Alongside the rebrand, HIPTHER is proud to launch the HIPTHER Lounge, a digital event companion designed to make participation smarter, smoother, and more connected.
With one profile, participants can:
- Register seamlessly for all HIPTHER events.
- Access live agendas, speaker updates, maps & alerts.
- Benefit from AI-assisted networking and smart meeting scheduling.
- Receive tailored connection recommendations and post-event materials.
- Enjoy reminders and notifications that keep them in the loop before, during, and after the events.
The HIPTHER Lounge embodies the future of event engagement: a digital hub for learning, connection, and meaningful business growth.
Zoltan Tuendik, HIPTHER Co-Founder, stated about this new era of HIPTHER Events:
“A decade in, we’ve learned that the true power of events lies not in the stage or the spotlight, but in the connections we spark and the futures we shape together. At HIPTHER, we don’t follow trends, we anticipate them, connect the dots, and design platforms where tomorrow’s ideas meet today’s innovators. As technology reshapes how we interact, our mission is to make those connections more intelligent, more meaningful, and above all, more human.”

Tequity and iBankroll forge strategic partnership
Tequity, the technology partner behind some of the industry’s most scalable and customisable gaming solutions, has announced a strategic partnership with iBankroll that brings together two complementary engines of operator growth: high-performance Originals content and a liquidity support solution designed to remove exposure and empower operators to scale responsibly.
The partnership reflects a shared ambition to help operators overcome both creative and capital constraints. Through iBankroll’s Bankroll-as-a-Service solution, partners gain access to Tequity’s modular Remote Game Server (RGS) and its expanding portfolio of fully customisable Originals – a suite of provably fair, streamer-friendly, brandable titles engineered for next-generation engagement.
By aligning liquidity support with cutting-edge content delivery, the partnership aims to remove longstanding barriers in the iGaming sector – whether related to volatility, differentiation, or the technical bandwidth required to launch new experiences at speed.
Operators will now be able to offer bigger limits, streamline withdrawals, and deploy fully brandable Originals, supported by a capital-efficient foundation that enhances consistency and theoretical value.
With operators increasingly seeking adaptable content frameworks and operational models that support higher limits and smoother user experiences, the collaboration introduces an integrated pathway to growth.
The joint rollout marks the beginning of a broader collaboration, with both companies focused on accelerating innovation across fintech and gaming technology.
Dominic Sawyer, VP Growth at Tequity, said: “iBankroll removes the capital constraint for ambitious operators. Tequity does the same on the content side with high-performance, fully brandable house games. Together, we give partners the confidence to offer bigger limits and smooth withdrawals on games that players genuinely love.”
Hayden Bowman, Co-Founder of iBankroll, added: “Tequity’s engineering expertise, scalable infrastructure, and standout Originals portfolio make them an ideal partner. Bringing their technology together with our Bankroll-as-a-Service gives operators a compelling foundation to grow, innovate, and future-proof their business.”

Fortune of Olympus
PRAGMATIC PLAY STRIKES GOLD WITH FORTUNE OF OLYMPUS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, unleashes a thunderous new entry in its iconic Greek Gods series with Fortune of Olympus – an electrifying 7×7 cluster-pays slot charged with random multipliers, dynamic special bets, and a 10,000x max win.
Fortune of Olympus is the latest feature-packed addition to the industry-leading Gates of Olympus universe. The blockbuster slot delivers explosive action as clusters of 5-15+ matching symbols reward players with wins of up to 150x in the base game.
On any spin, mighty multiplier symbols worth 2x-500x can strike the grid. When multiple multipliers hit, their values combine and detonate into a single, supercharged payout at the end of the tumbling sequence.
Landing 4-7 scatter symbols triggers the bonus game, awarding 15-30 free spins. During this striking feature, every multiplier that appears is added to a growing total multiplier, which is applied to all subsequent wins in the round, building tension and potential with every spin.
Players in certain markets can also amplify the action with special bets. Ante bets boost the chance of triggering Free Spins or Super Free Spins. The two Super Spins options guarantee at least one multiplier on every spin, with the second raising the minimum multiplier value to 50x.
Those eager for instant power can jump straight into Free Spins or Super Free Spins via 100x or 500x bonus buys, with the latter ensuring all multipliers start from 5x and above.
Fortune of Olympus marks the triumphant return of Pragmatic Play’s legendary Zeus character, following the success of Gates of Olympus Super Scatter and Gates of Olympus 1000, and pushes the fan-favourite series into thrilling new territory.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “Fortune of Olympus is a stunning addition to Pragmatic Play’s popular Greek Gods series and a distinctly different kind of outing for Zeus. Taking the iconic Gates of Olympus series in a thrilling new direction, this feature-rich slot delivers a standout experience with epic win potential.”
