Having been promoted to Chief Commercial Officer this time last year, European Gaming took the time to sit down with Nadiya Attard to take a look back at the record-breaking year enjoyed by Relax Gaming.

We also discussed her own philosophy as CCO of a major iGaming powerhouse and looked ahead to what Relax has in store for ICE 2023 and the rest of the year!

Relax has had a record-breaking 2022, before we get started, can you talk us through the secrets behind such fantastic success and some highlights, namely Relax Rush, Dream Drop and Money Train 3?

Relax Gaming has been fortunate to enjoy a phenomenal year in 2022 and exceed expectations on all fronts. If I had to boil it down to a few key qualities that lead to this success they would be – solid technical foundations that help us provide a stable platform, meeting key deadlines and bringing our unique ideas to life, integrity in our service, incredible quality standards, and the fantastic team behind it all. Each one of these forms a foundation block for our business.

Onto Relax and the team – I’m sure plenty of our European Gaming readers know you already, but for those who don’t, can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you lead as CCO?

I’d describe myself as very energetic and ambitious, throughout my 20 years of experience in the industry I’ve built up an extensive portfolio of deal closures and professional achievements. On a more personal level, I tend to do things differently and swim against the current in all aspects of my life, but especially in my management style.

I like to lead as a manager and operate as a teammate, ensuring that my colleagues are motivated, growing in their field and being rewarded effectively. In our sales team, you’ll notice some re-shuffling from time to time as I believe in letting people adjust their roles to their passions and investing in our current superstars before hiring externally.

Looking to ICE, which we’re sure Relax is very excited about, what’s in store for the show and what can visitors look forward to seeing at the Relax stand?

This will be the first ICE expo where Relax is physically present with a pop-up hub (N4-300) rather than meeting rooms, and we’re so excited to welcome new and existing customers throughout the 3 days. Our schedules are already almost full, and we can’t wait to give clients an exclusive sneak peek at what’s coming up in 2023.

On 2023 – we’re sure you’ve got plenty of exciting games lined up to delight players, without giving too much away, can you give us any hints or tips as to what we can expect to see this year?

There’s a lot to look forward to in 2023 including our star of the quarter Book of Power, which was produced in collaboration with CasinoGrounds and is piquing the interest of many operators at the moment.

We also have big plans to strengthen our foothold in regulated markets such as Ontario, Spain, Italy and Greece. Elsewhere Dream Drop Jackpots will be leveraging its strengths this year with a huge release over the Summer – We won’t give anything away here but pop by our stand for some juicy details!

Last but not least, Dream Drop has been absolutely revolutionary for players, how much of a difference do you see the Relax style of Jackpots making when it comes to inspiring future creations?

Our Dream Drop Jackpots product has been a great success since its debut in May 2022. Operators who integrated the promo tools and the famous Dream Drop Ticker (in-lobby jackpot status) have had recorded particularly positive results, and we’ll be boosting this further throughout the year with new promo tools that will be available across the Relax portfolio and P2P partners.

We’ve had jackpots dropping continuously and the numbers climb higher up the ranks each month. Emulating this level of success will prove tricky, as any supplier would require a vast distribution network combined with a secure and robust system of operation that extends well beyond the pure game mechanic and flow, there’s a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to a mechanic of this kind!

Play’n GO invites players underwater in Bubblin’ Riches, a 6×4 slot where golden coins and greedy fish collide for submerged surprises.

Set in a playful underwater reef, Bubblin’ Riches brings a burst of colour and charm to the reels. At the heart of the action is a bloated Goldfish with a hoarding habit – every Coin Scatter that lands could feed its fortune, or set off a surprise payout. As part of Play’n GO’s expanding roster of quirky, character-led games, this release turns Hold & Spin mechanics into something far more unpredictable, with a visual flair that brings every coin flip to life.

Bubblin’ Riches thrives on suspense and spectacle. Players can trigger Lock’n Gold by landing six Coin Scatters – launching a sticky respin feature where coins flip to reveal multipliers up to 10x, and a full screen secures an instant 500x win. Meanwhile, the towering coin stack above the reels is more than just a visual gag: it can burst at any moment, showering players with jackpots up to 1,000x. For those chasing longevity, Reward Spins introduce sticky Wild Multipliers and up to 65 spins – all anchored by a spinning prize wheel.

Fans of whimsical, visual-forward slots like Hugo Carts or Nyjah Huston – Skate for Gold will find plenty to love in Bubblin’ Riches. Its character-first design and surprise-based mechanics align with Play’n GO’s wider focus on entertainment, while the bubbling tension of the Goldfish jackpot stack introduces a fresh twist to classic features.

Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Bubblin’ Riches builds anticipation in every spin, with a charming visual twist. It’s a playful example of how we blend innovative mechanics with entertainment value.”

This light-hearted slot blends humour, excitement, and vivid visuals – perfect for players looking to dip into something refreshingly different.

Yaspa, the award-winning fintech specialising in iGaming payments and identity solutions, has unveiled a new brand identity designed to reflect its growth and maturity as it expands into new markets.

The rebrand marks a significant milestone in Yaspa’s evolution from an early-stage fintech to a global payments intelligence platform. The new identity builds on Yaspa’s mission to make payments more intelligent, helping operators and merchants connect with their customers in real time through trusted, data-driven experiences.

The refreshed brand introduces a cleaner, more contemporary visual identity centred around simplicity and human connection. Its updated logo, colour palette and design system have been crafted to convey transparency, confidence and momentum – emphasising Yaspa’s pioneering approach to innovation and collaboration.

The new brand launch coincides with a period of sustained growth for Yaspa, which has expanded from 15 to 70 employees in the past 18 months and recently announced a $12m investment round led by Discerning Capital. The company is now accelerating international expansion with a new US entity based in Atlanta, Georgia. Yaspa also announced the opening of a tech hub in Leeds, UK, in August.

Kate Marsden, Chief Marketing Officer at Yaspa, said: “Our new brand is a statement of intent. It reflects who we’ve become – a confident, connected and truly intelligent business that’s growing fast and taking our technology to new markets. We have created an identity that captures both the strength of our product and the clarity of our purpose – to help businesses make better decisions through smarter payments.

“Payments can be complex, but our goal is to make them feel effortless. Every element of our new look has been designed to communicate that sense of ease and intelligence. The identity is modern and approachable, because trust and transparency sit at the heart of what we do.

“As we scale into new regions, we want a brand that travels well and one that feels as relevant in Las Vegas as it does in London. The rebrand is a fresh chapter for Yaspa, but our focus remains the same: making instant payments personal.”

Elantil, the ground-breaking technology company that’s redefining the future of the industry with its strategic iGaming backbone, has announced it has agreed a new partnership with G-Games that will add next-gen content to its online marketplace.

John Debono, Chief Technical Officer at Elantil, said: “With Elantil’s Marketplace redefining the relationship between operators and suppliers, it’s imperative that we continue to integrate with forward-thinking companies that can offer something new. G-Games are definitely one such provider, and we’re thrilled to now be able to offer their next-gen content to all Elantiloperators.”
