Entain Partners with EMMA Capital to Establish Entain CEE
Entain has partnered with EMMA Capital (EMMA), a leading investment firm based in the Czech Republic, to establish a new venture (Entain CEE) to drive expansion in Central and Eastern Europe. Entain will own 75% of the economic rights in Entain CEE. Entain CEE will acquire the SuperSport Group, the leading gaming and sportsbook operator in Croatia from EMMA.
The new platform will be led by SuperSport’s CEO, Radim Haluza, who has significant experience across the region. The combination of Entain’s global scale, access to capital and content, EMMA’s regional knowledge and connectivity, alongside the expert local operational knowledge of Radim and his team, makes Entain CEE uniquely positioned to unlock the significant opportunity across the region. This bespoke structure will allow Entain to join with further leading local operators through Entain CEE to continue to grow this unique platform across the region.
For 75% of the economic rights in SuperSport, Entain will pay EUR 600 million in cash at completion; and a further contingent payment of EUR 90 million made to EMMA in early 2023 based on SuperSport’s EBITDA for the financial year ending 2022.
EMMA will contribute their 25% stake in SuperSport to Entain CEE at an initial implied valuation of €200m, with the contingent payment implying an additional €30m value contributed by EMMA.
The Acquisition is expected to value SuperSport at €920m which implies a transaction multiple of 9.6x 2022 EBITDA, or 9.1x 2022 fully synergised EBITDA.
The Acquisition will be financed through a €700m bridge loan from Deutsche Bank, Lloyds, Mediobanca, NatWest and Santander. The Acquisition will increase Entain’s pro-forma net debt to EBITDA leverage ratio in 2022 by 0.4x. The Acquisition is expected to complete in Q4 2022 and is conditional upon regulatory approvals.
“We are excited to create Entain CEE with EMMA to underpin our strategy across the CEE region, and to be acquiring the leading betting and gaming operator in the highly attractive, fully regulated Croatian market. We see Croatia as an exciting, dynamic country which Entain CEE is perfectly positioned to expand from – we are very much looking forward to growing our business responsibly within the country and the region. By bringing together Entain’s global expertise and EMMA’s regional investment track record, we are creating a growth platform with considerable opportunity. Expansion across CEE is a core component of our growth strategy, and we look forward to having Radim on board to help drive this opportunity,” Jette Nygaard-Anderson, CEO of Entain, said.
“EMMA is very happy to be partnering with the leading global betting, gaming and interactive entertainment business to unlock the opportunity posed by the CEE betting and gaming market. We see the Entain CEE structure as a clear opportunity for creating value for shareholders, and we look forward to working closely and collaboratively with Entain,” Pavel Horák, Chief Investment Officer at EMMA, said.
“I am looking forward to joining with Entain and further building on the significant opportunity presented in this region. The prospect of leading Entain CEE to drive expansion in fully regulated markets is an exciting opportunity, and EMMA’s investment expertise combined with Entain’s world-class platform will give us the competitive edge in delivering on the CEE opportunity,” Radim Haluza, CEO of SuperSport, said.

Max is back in Unusual Suspects Ultra Link&Win ™
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Max Spinwell returns in Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win
, the latest instalment in Northern Lights Gaming’s blockbuster slot franchise.
This time, players find themselves in a sprawling metropolis where every alleyway hides secrets and each skyscraper looms over a world of crime and justice.
Once again, hero Max Spinwell takes the detective role, navigating the mean streets, and the unusual suspects he encounters along the way, to uncover the game’s biggest wins.
The reels are framed by a dynamic landscape, with towering buildings and darkened streets filled with danger and opportunity.
Symbols bring the theme to life with iconic underworld images such as briefcases overflowing with cash, handcuffs and dynamite.
The gameplay is just as fierce, with bonus features including:
- Ultra Link&Win
- Max Mode
- High Speed Pursuit
- Scatter Symbol Wins
- Free Spins
- Buy the Bonus
The action really hots up during the Free Spins and Link&Win feature.
Landing three Free Spins symbols trigger ten Free Games, which play out with giant 3×3 symbols, retriggers and Ultra Link&Win, which can be retriggered from the Free Spins, too.
Ultra Link&Win begins with four locked rows and three unlocked rows. Three Respins are awarded during which landing additional Link&Win symbols unlocks more rows.
Respins reset to three whenever a new Link&Win symbol lands in view – a full reel set awards the Grand Jackpot.
Players also have the option of activating Max Mode, which increases the amount of Link&Win symbols that appear on the reels.
Then there’s High Speed Pursuit, which is triggered at random during the base game. Once activated, the bonus will either award Wilds, Scatters or Link&Win symbols.
Unusual Suspects Ultra Link & Win
is a high volatility slot with 25 paylines and a 96.13% return to player, but with different RTP options available upon request.
It’s the latest title in the studio’s hugely popular Unusual Suspects series, with other titles including Unusual Suspects Legends of Olympus and Wanted Unusual Suspects.
Chris Loftus, CEO at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Max is back and this time he’s looking to defeat the baddest of crime bosses while unlocking big wins for players.
“The game is based around our proprietary Link&Win bonus, which sees players unlock rows to expand the reel set and boost their chance of hitting massive wins.
“This, combined with other bonuses like Free Spins, High Speed Pursuit and Max Mode takes players to the heart of the city where crime runs rampant but with Detective Spinwell on the case, they can take back control and unlock plenty of big wins along the way.”
