Nordisk Games today announced the appointment of Robert Henrysson as its latest Partner, following the recent appointments of Audrey Leprince and Ebba Ljungerud. Robert has a wealth of experience in the games industry, most recently as the Chairperson of Avalanche Studios Group, the team behind theHunter: Call of the Wild, and the developer behind the acclaimed Just Cause series and Mad Max game, which was acquired by Nordisk Games in 2018.

In his new role, Robert will work with the investment team to scope new opportunities and build relationships with existing and new partners.

Robert has plenty of entrepreneurial experience from both inside and outside the games industry, starting with the roleplaying and board game store he launched whilst still at university. He was the founder of the Swedish gaming magazine Saga and also worked for Cap Gemini where he ran the Global Media Practice for the group. In 2002, he co-founded Jadestone Group, one of the early pioneers in mobile gaming and the team behind the online version of the popular sport sim Championship Manager. Robert also co-founded the children’s game developer Filimundus (Pippi Longstocking, Pettson & Findus). More recently, Robert has sat on the advisory board of Bornholm Game Days, an invitation-only event for leaders in gaming to discuss game development and how to tackle important cross-industry issues.

Nordisk Games was founded in 2016 to make games with the best game companies in Europe, and to date, its portfolio is made up of Avalanche Studios Group, Star Stable Entertainment, MercurySteam, Nitro Games and Flashbulb Games. The company also recently completed its full acquisition of the BAFTA-winning studio Supermassive Games, the developers behind critically-acclaimed narrative games Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology.

“Aside from working in a great team with great clients, what really drew me to Nordisk Games was the company’s values; championing key issues in the games industry and also dedicating a portion of its turnover to charity every year. As a team, I know they are always on hand to offer strategic support, but they also strongly believe in giving partners the autonomy to create their own vision and develop the games they want to – which is hugely exciting,” said Robert Henrysson, Partner at Nordisk Games.

“Each of our recent new team members brings a wealth of experience in games, a new perspective and a new set of skills for our partners to utilise, and Robert’s no exception. I have no doubt he’ll help us continue making connections, building relationships and supporting great teams in making the best games they possibly can. The expertise we’ve gathered will continue to be one of our strongest assets in the years to come,” said Mikkel Weider, CEO of Nordisk Games.

On top of his varied roles in the games industry Robert has had an eclectic working life, running an award-winning brewery and producing the book Swedish Gin – Drinks, Distilleries and Dreamers, which recently won the 2022 World Gourmand Awards for best photo. Since 2013 he has invested in and supported several companies including Winefinder.se, Hammars Bryggeri, and most recently game startup InfiniGods.

On May 14, 2026, 1spin4win reached a significant milestone — five years on the iGaming market. The anniversary motto, The Gold Standard of Classic Slots, reflects the studio’s evolution into a recognized name in the classic slot niche, built on years of industry expertise and commitment to delivering authentic gambling experiences.

Today, its portfolio features more than 200 games combining timeless appeal, advanced mathematics, and strong performance. In 2025, 1spin4win achieved a 52.06% increase in bet count and a 56.62% rise in GGR compared to 2024. This growth has helped the provider earn the trust of over 1,000 global operators, including leading brands such as SOFTSWISS, EveryMatrix, Alea, SoftGaming, Digitain, and BetConstruct.

As part of the milestone celebration, 1spin4win introduces Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win, a special slot highlighting the studio’s landmark titles and renowned characters. Alongside traditional fruit, bells, and sevens, the colorful 3×3 grid features Wild symbols shaped as red bezel-set diamonds. When activated, they illuminate the “5 Years” sign, reinforcing the game’s anniversary theme.

The celebratory atmosphere continues through the slot’s rewarding features. Landing nine identical symbols doubles the win, while three or more Coins trigger the exciting Hold and Win Bonus round. With three starting respins, players get the chance to claim two festive Jackpots — the x100 Minipot Coin and the x1000 Megapot.

To mark the 5-year anniversary, 1spin4win is also launching special promotional campaigns in collaboration with Olymp and Selector. To give players additional opportunities to join the celebration, the partners will distribute exclusive promo codes, which will also be available to the registered users of the provider’s Players Room platform.

Olga Hlukhovskaya, Business Development Director at 1spin4win, commented, “Five years in the industry is an important testament to how far 1spin4win has come. Since 2021, we’ve grown into an acknowledged iGaming brand trusted by top global companies. Looking ahead, we plan to keep expanding across African and Latin American markets, deepen our relationships with regional operators, and further strengthen our presence in Europe. For us, this anniversary is not only about celebrating past achievements, but also about building the next stage of 1spin4win’s journey.

Olga Bogdanova, Art Director at 1spin4win, shared, “Lucky 1spin4win Hold and Win is dedicated to the 1spin4win 5th anniversary in the casino industry. The game’s design brings together iconic characters and signature symbols from our previous releases, well-known to both our players and partners. The result is a vibrant product featuring engaging Hold and Win mechanics and the recognizable 1spin4win classic style. We invite everyone to join the celebration of our anniversary, test their luck in the slot, compete for festive jackpots, and revisit their favorite 1spin4win games!”

Stake releases Zoo casino game: a fast, multiplayer Stake Original where players bet on the wild side

stake-releases-zoo-casino-game:-a-fast,-multiplayer-stake-original-where-players-bet-on-the-wild-side

A new live-round Stake Original where every player bets on the same outcome – six animals, a 20-tile track, three results per round, and wins up to 1,000x in play.

Stake, the world’s largest online casino and sportsbook, has today launched its Zoo casino game, a new multiplayer Stake Original that brings every player into the same live round to bet on six animals across a 20-tile track. Available worldwide on Stake, Zoo is the latest title to join the growing Stake Originals collection.

Zoo takes the shared-round excitement that has made games like Crash a Stake Originals staple and pairs it with simpler, more visual decision-making. Each round, six animals – Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Crocodile, Rhino, and Penguin – appear on a 20-tile circular track, with each animal showing up a different number of times to create clear volatility tiers and payout differences across the board. Players have ten seconds to back one or more animals before the track spins up and locks in three result tiles in the center of the screen.

Zoo launches with a 98% RTP, a top multiplier of 1,000x per round, and full auto bet controls that let players preset their wager amount, number of rounds, and chosen animals. Designed as a simpler, more visual evolution of popular casino games like Roulette and Sic Bo, Zoo strips back the complexity without compromising on depth. The rarer the animal, the bigger the reward – Lion and Cheetah each appear only once on the track, Elephant and Crocodile twice, Rhino four times, and Penguin ten, giving players a clear read on the risk and payout of every play. With three result tiles drawn each round, players win based on how many times their chosen animal lands across all three.

“Zoo is exactly the kind of game we want Stake Originals to be known for – fast, simple to pick up, and genuinely fun to play in an online setting filled with other players. There’s real tension in watching the three tiles land for the whole table at once, and we think players are going to find their favourite animals pretty quickly,” said Stake’s Chief Marketing Officer, Akhil Sarin.

Zoo joins a growing line-up of in-house multiplayer game creations on Stake Casino, with the goal of keeping every Stake Original easy to learn, quick to play, and a little bit different from anything else in the iGaming industry.
