Salford customer triumphs at Genting Casino £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge final
The multi-stage competition, launched by premium Live Casino Genting Casino in October, invited online players across the UK to compete for leaderboard points by playing selected games, earn free spins and secure a place in a VIP live finale at Resorts World Birmingham.
The top five online qualifiers headed for a VIP weekend, including travel costs and a stay, culminating in a high-stakes live roulette tournament where one final spin decided the champion. The overall winner walked away with the £20,000 Grand Prize Spin, a life-changing moment for the tournament victor.
Genting Casino has Live Roulette streamed from Genting UK casinos, Palm Beach, Resorts World Birmingham and Genting Manchester and this competition brought together its digital and on-floor experiences, with customers transitioning from a digital competition to being invited and competing in a live casino format.
Speaking after the event, the winner, Karthik, who had never competed in a live casino tournament before, said: “No way! I never expected this at all. It came completely out of the blue. Suddenly, I got a call saying I was selected for the tournament.”
Despite the tension of the final spin, the winner revealed their approach: “I went purely with instinct. I don’t have a favourite colour. It was just a feeling in that moment. Looking at the board, there had been a lot of red, and it gave me the feeling to go with red.”
The winner described the experience as both exhilarating and rewarding: “Yes, absolutely. It wasn’t just about fun. It was also about how engaging everything was, the people, the organisation and the entire experience.”
The £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge ran until 17 November 2025, granting players free spins and leaderboard points for qualifying deposits and gameplay. The top five qualifiers were invited to Resorts World Birmingham to compete in an exciting filmed live roulette bracket-style tournament, with the final spin determining who would take home the grand prize.
Mike Vella, Brand Marketing Project Manager at Genting Casino, said: “We couldn’t be happier with how the £20k Spin Leaderboard Challenge played out.
“The energy and enthusiasm from all our players, both online and at Resorts World Birmingham, exceeded our expectations.
“Seeing the leaderboard finalists come together for the live roulette showdown was fantastic, and we’re genuinely delighted for the winner. It’s a brilliant moment for them and a great example of how rewarding these experiences can be.
“For the winner, this isn’t just a prize, it’s a moment they’ll remember forever. Seeing their reaction, the joy and disbelief at landing the Grand Prize Spin really highlights the human side of these competitions. It’s these moments of genuine surprise and triumph that remind us why we create these events.
“The team at Genting Casino and Resorts World Birmingham are immensely proud to have delivered such a seamless, exciting experience and we hope it inspires even more players to take part in future challenges.”
The success of this year’s leaderboard challenge highlights Genting Casino’s ongoing commitment to providing engaging experiences that bridge online excitement with unforgettable live moments on the casino floor.

Finland’s Gambling Reform Is Official – What Happens Next?
The wait is over: The Finnish Parliament has officially approved the new gambling legislation. In a decisive plenary session, MPs voted 158 in favor to 9 opposed, with 32 abstaining. The text remained unchanged from the version presented in previous weeks, solidifying the framework for Finland’s transition from a monopoly to a licensed market.
With the political uncertainty resolved, the focus now shifts to implementation. For operators, this means the race to compliance—and market entry—has effectively begun.
The Confirmed Timeline
With the legislation passed, the roadmap to the market opening is now set. Operators must use the coming months to prepare for a rigorous licensing process.
-
Early 2026: The application window is expected to open. The regulator will begin accepting and reviewing license applications.
-
2026 (Throughout): The “preparatory year.” This period is dedicated to vetting applicants, ensuring technical compliance, and establishing the new supervisory authority.
-
January 1, 2027: The regulated Finnish market officially opens. Licensed operators can go live with betting and online casino services.
Entering the Finnish Market with Nordic Legal
Navigating a new jurisdiction is complex, but it doesn’t have to be inefficient. With extensive experience advising on gaming licences across the Nordic markets, Nordic Legal brings a proven, practical approach to the Finnish process.
Efficiency Through Synergy If you already work with us in Denmark or Sweden, we ensure your Finnish licence application isn’t a “start from scratch” project. We build directly on our existing knowledge of your organisation and systems.
Your usual Nordic Legal contact will coordinate directly with our Helsinki team at no extra cost. This integrated approach saves you time and avoids the frustration of duplicating work you’ve already done for other Nordic licenses.
Our Approach We focus on smart compliance:
-
Reusing documentation where regulations overlap.
-
Anticipating regulatory questions before they are asked.
-
Aligning requirements for technical standards and responsible gambling.
-
Engaging constructively with the Finnish authority to ensure a smooth process.
The Finnish Licence Application Package
To support your entry, we offer a comprehensive package designed to handle the heavy lifting:
-
Translation of all required documents.
-
Guidance and completion of complex application forms.
-
Full project management from start to submission.
-
Direct communication with the Finnish regulator on your behalf.
Next Steps
The window for preparation is narrowing. Contact your usual Nordic Legal advisor today to discuss the new legislation or our Licence Application Package. Alternatively, reach out to us directly to secure your place in Finland’s upcoming regulated market.
