Veikkaus to end table gaming activities in restaurants and to cut 400 jobs amid digital pushReading Time: 2 minutes

 

Veikkaus is planning to end table gaming activities in restaurants. In addition, the company is planning to reorganize the support functions of restaurant game tables, as well as the retailer and chain cooperation.

 

In connection with these changes, Veikkaus will initiate cooperation negotiations that cover 1 300 persons. The estimated personnel cut is about 400 persons, most of whom are part-time employees. The reorganization aims at a reform of the company’s cost structure and more efficient operations.

– We want to ensure Veikkaus’ future in the middle of the ever-accelerating digital competition. Players are increasingly switching over towards the digital channels and, as a result of the structural changes in retail trade, our point-of-sale network has experienced a drastic decrease over the past few years. This is why we are planning to introduce significant changes to our own points of sale, as well as to end the restaurant table gaming activities. In addition, we are planning to make the organization of the retailer functions more efficient, says Veikkaus’ President and CEO Olli Sarekoski.

Around a half of the employees touched by the cooperation negotiations are working in the capital region, and the rest of them elsewhere in Finland. The planned changes will not affect Veikkaus’ retailers’ point-of-sale network.

  • Veikkaus has ca. 2 000 employees.
  • Veikkaus has a total of 187 restaurant game tables in 162 restaurants.
  • Veikkaus has ca. 6 500 retailer points of sale. As a result of the restructuring of the retail trade, the number of the points of sale in the network has decreased by about a thousand since 2012. The decrease has been consistent for the past ten years.
  • Veikkaus.fi offers about 200 different online casino games digitally, including all the table games.
  • Gaming is moving towards the digital channels. Of Veikkaus’ turnover, ca. 42 percent come from the digital channels. Veikkaus.fi online service has ca. 600 000 customers every week.

Totogaming Wins Gold Award at MAD OVER MARKETING 2025

Totogaming’s ongoing initiative “Power Has No Gender,” now in its fourth consecutive year, has been named the winner and awarded the Gold Award at the Mommy 2025 Awards.

Each year, the Mommy Awards highlight standout contributions in marketing celebrating campaigns that are bold, creative, unexpected, and, most importantly, meaningful.

In 2025, Totogaming was honored with two Mommy trophies: one for the “Power Has No Gender” initiative, and another for Totogaming’s Romania-based launch campaign featuring football legend and Totogaming Sport Ambassador Luís Figo.

The “Power Has No Gender” movement began in 2022, with its first awards ceremony recognizing female athletes who had contributed to Armenian sport through their success. Totogaming’s team launched the initiative to challenge long-standing stereotypes that associate sports primarily with men and reserve true success in the field for them.

Since then, the movement has grown significantly. Today, it recognizes not only athletes but also women across various industries who are breaking barriers and reshaping norms.

“Power Has No Gender is not just a campaign — it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to breaking stereotypes and honoring stories of strength, perseverance, and achievement. Being recognized with the Mommy 2025 Gold Award is a meaningful acknowledgment that our message is making an impact across borders. It inspires us to continue driving positive change wherever we can,” said Tereza Tokmajyan, Chief Marketing Officer at Totogaming.

In 2025 the initiative carried the slogan “The Mark of Your Power,” underscoring that success is not defined by gender, but by the influence we leave behind. It sent a clear message: everyone has the strength to shape their own path, whether it’s making groundbreaking discoveries, excelling in sports, or pushing the limits in any field.
The Mommy BEST GLOBAL CAMPAIGN 2025 Gold Award is one of the strongest proofs that these messages are being understood and truly valued.
