Finland’s gambling monopoly Veikkaus has begun consultations on temporary layoffs due to the closure of retail locations owing to Covid-19 measures.

The layoffs would affect around 800 staff, many of whom could face an idle period of up to three months.

Jari Heino, SVP of channels and sales, said: “What counts most to us is the health of our employees and customers.

“The coronavirus has driven the entire society to the wall, and the challenges affect us heavily, too.

“We follow the guidelines issued by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health and have closed our slot machines and gaming arcades widely across the country during this and last week. Nobody knows yet when we can reopen them.

“What is important now is that we can enter into a dialogue with the representatives of the personnel, in order to realise the best possible plans and solutions for our employees, customers and partners.”

The operator has closed its gaming halls for a second time last week after a rise in Covid-19 cases. Venues previously closed from March 13 until June 26 in the case of casinos, and July 15 in the case of slots arcades.

EveryMatrix has extended its partnership with Betsson Group, giving the global operator’s brands access to its full content library across a range of licensed markets.

The first phase of the new agreement sees Betsson Group launch exclusive in-house content from Fantasma Games, following the successful integration with EveryMatrix’s platform.

Ahead of the second phase of the partnership, EveryMatrix and Betsson Group are reviewing several high-performing third-party studios, with the aim of further strengthening the operator’s casino offering across additional licensed markets.

The agreement builds on EveryMatrix’s recent go-live with Betsson Africa in Cameroon, where the technology provider delivered a full turnkey casino and sports integration, including front-end development, player account management, payments and affiliate management.

EveryMatrix Casino has the world’s largest casino aggregation platform, offering more than 45,000 games from 180 vendors and 355 game studios.

Mark Hothersall, Head of Business Development, EveryMatrix Casino, said: “Our initial launch with Betsson in Cameroon was another strong showcase of our ability to support tier-1 operators with scalable, regulated technology.

“Extending this partnership through the launch of Fantasma Games shows the value of our relationship and the value our casino portfolio can bring across multiple brands in regulated markets.”

Karl Shranz, Director of Gaming, Betsson Group, said: “Following the successful launch with EveryMatrix in Cameroon, we saw a clear opportunity to explore further areas of collaboration, with content being a natural next step.

“EveryMatrix offers a strong portfolio, quality titles, and the operational standards required to support our brands across regulated markets.”

New branded live environment features customised tables, decor and uniforms built specifically for Stake.

Stake and live casino provider ICONIC21 have launched an 18-table dedicated live casino studio built specifically for Stake, under a new partnership agreement.

According to the companies, the studio is customised to reflect Stake’s brand across the environment, including custom table felts, bespoke decor and personalised dealer uniforms.

ICONIC21 positioned the build as part of a broader push into dedicated studio environments for major operators, arguing that branded tables and sets can provide a more consistent identity than shared live casino tables.

The supplier also said the Stake rollout highlights its operating model, describing a “lean, focused team” designed to move quickly on bespoke studio projects. The companies did not disclose financial terms, launch location, or which live casino games are included across the 18 tables.
