Veikkaus: Going International is Key to Growth Strategy

Veikkaus is preparing for a new era, and the preparations will continue this autumn. Preparations are underway to change the gambling system, with a section of the market opening to competition at the beginning of 2026, as laid down in a Government Programme entry.
As a result, some of the digital gambling operations online become part of the international license-based gambling market. However, according to the plans, Lotto and the physical slot machines will remain under Veikkaus’ monopoly.
“Preparing for the shift in the gambling industry and going international are key to Veikkaus’ growth strategy,” Olli Sarekoski, President and CEO of Veikkaus, said.
According to Mr Sarekoski, Veikkaus will make strong investments in new business.
“We are building a future where Veikkaus is Finland’s leading gambling company and a significant operator in the international market,” he said.
Veikkaus’ aim is to achieve a sustainable and lucrative business model that will guarantee the company’s competitiveness even in the future. This will also entail changes to the organisational structure, which will be further discussed in the upcoming cooperation negotiations that will be launched in September.
The negotiations will cover almost the entire organisation, and a total of 825 members of Veikkaus’ personnel. The negotiations may lead to the termination of employment relations of a maximum of ca. 240 people and to material changes to the terms of employment of a maximum of 195 people will change.
The objective is also to reduce the number of gambling locations from 65 arcades to 40–50 arcades. The cooperation negotiations will also concern the potential closure of Casino Tampere.
Veikkaus is aiming at an operating model enabling it to focus on its core business. The goal is to be able to respond to the changes affecting Veikkaus’ mission and operating environment, as well as the gambling industry in general.
“We want to be competitive in the upcoming license-based market and viable in the monopoly market. That is why we need to make operational changes that cover the whole company,” Mr Sarekoski said.
The ongoing transition in the gambling industry, together with the change in the system will take Veikkaus into a new era.
“It will bring with it many parallel changes. We will go through the whole organization from the perspective of lucrativeness and growth. We will also have to make difficult decisions. For some, these changes may mean the termination of their employment relation. We will be caring for and looking after them,” Mr Sarekoski added.

GAMOMAT unleashes Dead Legion – brought to life by live orchestra

GAMOMAT, one of the leading independent German software developers for slot games, is raising the stakes again with the release of its horror-themed Dead Legion.
Set on a war-torn battlefield that’s shrouded in mist, Dead Legion unfolds within a macabre world where the dead legions have risen. An epic, dark live orchestral soundtrack intensifies the atmosphere across the 5×3 reels. A skeletal Roman legionary with glowing blue eyes represents the Wild and substitutes for all symbols except Scatters.
Free Games will be triggered with three shown Scatters, which are represented by an undead Roman centurion on horseback. Once Free Games are underway, any undead Roman legionnaire that lands on the reels becomes sticky – haunting red eyes confirm the change – and adds to the final winning total at the end of the round.
GAMOMAT is releasing Dead Legion via its Remote Gaming Server, G‑RGS, and through the Bragg HUB. Dead Legion joins an epic horror-themed line-up featuring Xploding Pumpkins, Book of Madness, and its bold new chapter — Book of Madness 2.
Check out a preview of the game by following this link: https://vimeo.com/1105798819/feb2c9d247
GAMOMAT Distribution GmbH Lead Game Composer Iris Wallner said: “Dead Legion will always be one of those projects I’ll never forget. Standing in front of a 64‑piece live orchestra and hearing that first dark swell of sound was pure magic. Every musician brought their own energy, creating something powerful and raw that no sample can match. Bringing this vision to life isn’t just about adding music – it’s raising the bar for how immersive our games can be. It’s a statement that kicks off our horror-themed line-up in unforgettable style.”
