Golden Rock Studios has entered into a new deal with Caleta Gaming.

The new deal will see two businesses almost perfectly in synch with each other’s growth trajectory plans combining their complementary expertise and skills to create a formidable new partnership in the iGaming world.

Caleta Gaming boast a solid and already successful end-to-end RGS technology providing an attractive portfolio of games, strategically designed and built to meet market and customer needs. However, the addition of Golden Rock Studios existing set of slot and table games, as well as bring across the new and exciting titles currently in development, will further enhance the options available for Caleta Gaming’s current and future clients.

Following a restructure of the business and realignment of company objectives Golden Rock Studios have spent the past 12 months working on some truly innovative slot games and features, with the first of these games Bonus Only due live in just a matter of weeks. Following on from that will see regular game releases to the Caleta Gaming network mixing up existing and brand-new titles.

Caleta Gaming bring to the table their dynamic RGS platform, seamless API integration processes and agile game development. Whilst already boasting an array of player engagement tools such as Free Spins, Progressive Jackpots and Buy-In features. The team have also already been started developing new promotional product additions with Tournaments, Instant Wins and Cashback tools, further enhancing their offering.

A strong network of happy clients already benefit from the Caleta Gaming platform offering, but plans have already begun with the aim to enter some strategic regulated markets. Obtaining some key market licences will help grow the platforms global footprint and further enhance the attractiveness for any future clients. As the distribution grows into new regions and markets the partnership will also mean that Caletas client base will soon also get exclusive early access to some of Golden Rock Studios upcoming unique new games such as 5 Fruits Frenzy, Remember Remember and Super Money World. As well as future collaborations together to make games which will be exclusive to Caleta.

“Coming together at this time perfectly complements each other’s growth trajectory as both businesses have high aspirations to transition to the next level. A combined vision to produce and distribute unique and innovative gaming content supported by a strong platform and product offering across a strong strategic network of markets will, and already has, helped the teams to build a strong relationship with long term success at the forefront of their efforts,” Fabiola Jaeger, CEO and co-founder of Caleta Gaming, said.

“We are truly excited about signing this deal with Caleta to bring our content live via their new and cutting-edge platform. This deal sees two businesses whose specialities lie in different aspects of the industry combining. So, partnering up and building out a new combined strategy will really go a long way to helping both businesses reach their aspirations. So far, we have already started to work very closely together and our first game going live has seen us get the partnership well under way. We also have a packed release schedule already in place for this year and it’s been really fun working together with the team at Caleta. With such a promising start under our belts, we could not be more excited about the new opportunities that lie ahead in 2022 and beyond with Caleta,” Shane Regan, Chief Operating Officer at Golden Rock Studios, said.

“Synergy! That’s the keyword for this partnership. Combining the innovative concepts and game design from Golden Rock Studios, with our experienced production team allows us to deliver awesome games with agility and high quality. It’s been exciting working with GRS. Our first game together is fresh out of the oven, and it is just the first step of our journey. Hope everyone enjoys and have lots of fun,” Felipe Moritz, Project Manager at Caleta Gaming, said.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA), founded in 1984, is the national federation for Board games, Card games, Esports, and Wargames.

MSSA promotes all the different disciplines equally, although each school may pick-and-choose which discipline it wishes to promote at its school. Some schools will promote the whole gambit, while others will concentrate on only one discipline, and/or even just concentrate on one specific title.

The choice is ultimately up to the school.

The various games offer unique opportunities to many South African learners. Many learners have been able to earn Regional, Provincial, and National Colours which have allowed them to earn bursaries and obtain first-class educations.

MSSA has sent teams with full Protea Colours to international events since 1991 for wargames, 1996 for Morabaraba, 1997 for Checkers, and 2005 for Esports. Many members of the national teams have been scholars, and all have benefited from their involvement in the national Protea Team.

With the above in mind the MSSA has streamlined the process for schools to affiliate to the MSSA.

There is still the option open for a school to start a full-blown sub-club on its premises, but bearing in mind the tight regulatory conditions under which accredited schools have to operate in the Republic, the MSSA no longer deems it necessary for a school to start a sub-club.

As long as the school club has the approval of the school, and has an Educator-in-Charge, a school may affiliate by merely completing the Application for Affiliation Form and submitting such to MSSA.

In order to affiliate, the completed Application for affiliation Form must be submitted to the MSSA.

Once the Board has approved a school’s affiliation, the school then needs to complete the Google Registration Page allocated to the school for the players and make payment.

All school members may participate in all events for which it qualifies. Such events include meetings, championships, courses, and so forth.

Advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club: There are many advantages of having a MSSA affiliated club, such as:

Being part of a community where your club has a real say in how things are done
Being able to apply for National Lottery Funding – MSSA member clubs can apply for up to R800,000.00 in funding
Being able to get assistance from your local government
Experience increased media exposure of your events and your gamers
Become part of the international community through the MSSA Registered players are able to become internationally recognised umpires, etc.
Enable your gamers to take part in MSSA events, which may qualify them for Regional, Provincial, and National colours, overseas trips, and even sports bursaries at university.

MSSA’s Constitution

The Constitution forms the foundation of the MSSA. It guarantees members rights and governs the way that the MSSA operates. It can only be amended by a two-thirds majority at a Council Meeting. Please remember that Associations only have two (2) votes each, whereas member clubs have a representational vote, being:

Private clubs: one vote per every five registered players, and
School clubs: one vote per every ten registered players.

MSSA’s General Regulations
The General Regulations comprises of decisions made by both Council and Executive Committee Meetings. The General Regulations deals with how sub-committees operate as well as to how teams are selected and development funding is distributed. Please refer to Schedule 10.12 in regard to the rights of clubs in hosting events.

MSSA’s Discipline Specific Regulations
The Discipline Specific Regulations deal with rules concerning the different disciplines. The Disciplines that the MSSA caters for are; Board Gaming, Card gaming, Esports, and Figure Gaming.

Application for Affiliation form
When a club applies for membership, the applicant club must complete such form and return the same to the MSSA.Fee note for 2025
The fee note details the Affiliation Fees and Registration fees that are payable.

Player Registration Form
The Player Registration Form needs to be completed by every player that is a member of a club and intends to participate in MSSA affairs.

MSSA’s Letter of Undertaking
The Letter of Undertaking is for all registered players who sit on any MSSA committee.
