Danielle Calafato Named as New Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps
Danielle moves into new role as part of exciting expansion plans
Gaming Corps is pleased to confirm Danielle Calafato will be stepping up into the position of Chief Commercial Officer, as part of the must-have developer’s strategy to capitalize on recent successes and accelerate its growth plans.
Danielle joined the company as Head of Commercial in 2021 on the back of a wealth of gaming industry experience, and the new role will afford her the opportunity to plan for Gaming Corps’ future expansion, as well remaining a cornerstone of a young company in an active growth phase.
Gaming Corps will be laying the foundations for growth by building a commercial hub in Malta. The hub will provide staff in Malta with a formal place of work, and give Gaming Corps the tools to cement its position as a tier one games provider.
The development plans are being put into place with Gaming Corps looking to build on a remarkable period of success. The company recently announced year-on-year net sales growth of 628% for Q4 2022, being partnered with more than 400 operator brands, with another 400 signed and set to go live.
Danielle said: “It has been an absolute pleasure to be part of the Gaming Corps team, and I am honoured to be appointed as the Chief Commercial Officer. The company has achieved impressive feats in a relatively brief timeframe, and I am excited to be given the chance to build upon this success. We have big plans in the pipeline, and I am confident that with the talent and expertise of our team, we will achieve even greater heights.”
As part of the company’s roadmap for future success, Mats Lundin will remain very much involved in the commercial side of the business as he moves to the role of Director of Sales.
“I couldn’t be prouder and happier with what my team and I have been able to achieve in the three years I have worked for Gaming Corps so far. As we continue to expand, we will look to strengthen the company with feet on the ground in the markets that are allowing us to meet our ambitious goals at the optimal rate. We’ve seen a great deal of change and as what is still a young company, we’re very accomplished at adapting with great success.
“My responsibilities will now center more towards “new business” where I feel at this stage I can add the greatest value. As with everyone within the Gaming Corps family, both Danielle and I will still be working very closely and aiding the company in our new roles with new excitement and 100% focus.

Spinmatic unveils groundbreaking hybrid Slot-Plinko game
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Spinmatic, a leading developer of cutting-edge casino games, today announced the launch of Elemental Fusion, a revolutionary title that fuses the mechanics of Video Slots with the engaging features of Plinko games. This innovative product release highlights Spinmatic’s commitment to developing unique and compelling gaming experiences for the igaming market.
Elemental Fusion introduces a novel hybrid model, offering players a distinctive blend of traditional reel-spinning action and a collector-driven bonus system culminating in a dynamic Plinko round. The game consists of harnessing the power of five sacred elements -Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Galaxy- guided by an in-game Alchemist character.
The core innovation lies in two distinct yet interconnected features:
- Accumulative multipliers & Fusion reaction: The game features five Element Elixir symbols. Landing these symbols triggers a Fusion Reaction where an accumulative multiplier builds up. Multipliers can reach up to x50 and stack across spins. When a win is achieved, it is multiplied by the accumulated value, which then resets.
- Collect Feature & Plinko Bonus: Players activate the Plinko bonus round by collecting 10 Element Elixir symbols for one of the four core elements (Water, Air, Earth or Fire). Landing a Special Plinko Symbol on the 3rd reel randomly contributes one symbol to the corresponding element’s collector. A key mechanism is that other element collectors do not reset when a Plinko game is triggered, allowing for the rapid chaining of bonus rounds.
The Plinko bonus round offers a sophisticated and varied experience, determined by the collected element. Before the balls drop, a wheel spins to determine the number of balls, ranging from a minimum of 10 to an impressive 100.
Each of the four unique Plinko games features 16 rows and is designed with a distinct volatility profile and prize mechanic, and each guarantees a specific Jackpot tier (Mini, Midi, Maxi and Grand Jackpot).
Spinmatic invites operators to integrate Elemental Fusion immediately to offer players this pioneering gaming experience.

Reading Time: 2 minutes
International law firm Osborne Clarke has advised Shore Capital on Winvia Entertainment plc’s £205 million AIM IPO and associated £40 million institutional placing. Shore Capital acted as nominated adviser, sole bookrunner and sole broker.
Technology focused business Winvia Entertainment is the second largest prize draw operator in the UK by market share and owns the brands Best of the Best and Click Competitions, through which players can play for prizes including cars, luxury watches and holidays.
Outside the UK, the company is focused on the fast-growing and regulated Romanian online gaming market, where it is a top three online casino operator, operating a multi-brand strategy including own brands such as Princess Casino, Royal Slots and Luck, white label brands such as Magnumbet, Cashpot and Excelbet, and a majority owned poker business.
Winvia Entertainment intends to use the net proceeds of the placing to fund acquisitions in the large but fragmented UK prize draw sector. It has been building a pipeline of other opportunities and is in discussions with several potential acquisition targets to allow it to consolidate its position in this rapidly growing market.
Admission and trading in the company’s ordinary shares on AIM took place on the 3 November 2025 at 8:00 a.m.
The IPO represents a significant AIM admission in H2 2025 and highlights the renewed interest in UK tech and digital-entertainment flotations. It follows commentary that the London listing market may be turning a corner, with several listing announcements and a strengthening pipeline emerging in recent weeks.
Commenting on the transaction, Ed Nisbet, Associate Director at Osborne Clarke, said: “We are delighted to have assisted the Shore Capital team in relation to the IPO of Winvia Entertainment. Both the UK and Romanian markets that the group is focused on offer exciting opportunities and this IPO perfectly positions Winvia to build on its existing strength to take advantage of these. This transaction, together with general market activity and our increasing pipeline of opportunities, is also demonstrative of the increased momentum in UK capital markets.”
Jonathan King, Partner at Osborne Clarke, added: “The Winvia IPO showcases the breadth of Osborne Clarke’s capital markets expertise – from advising on complex cross-border structures to supporting clients at every stage of their growth.”
Osborne Clarke’s Corporate team, which is ranked in the top tiers by both Chambers UK and Legal 500 UK for AIM, is considered a go-to practice for many companies in the tech, media and comms sector. Its clients range from global businesses to fast-growth start-ups and market challengers. The team advises at every stage of company development across all corporate issues, from equity and debt fundraisings to strategic M&A, IPOs and JVs.
