Innovative operator strengthens senior management team with industry heavyweight that has worked for major brands including Ladbrokes and Argyll Entertainment

PressEnter Group, whose brands include UltraCasino, NitroCasino, 21 .com, XLBet and JustSpin, has strengthened its senior management team with the appointment of industry veteran Philip Bell.

Since the successful MBO at the close of last year, PressEnter Group has been busy laying the firm foundations of its new strategy. Under the leadership of its Chief Executive Officer, Lahcene Merzoug, and the management team, the focus has been on optimising operations across the entire organisation and fostering an entrepreneurial culture that permeates every aspect of PressEnter Group. The future looks really exciting as the company embarks on a journey of sustainable growth and scalability. Hiring Philip Bell as Chief Commercial Officer is one more step to achieving the group’s long-term goals.

Bell joins the Malta-headquartered operator as Chief Commercial Officer where he will have the responsibility of devising and implementing strategies for commercial and business development that are optimised for both short and long-term results.

Bell was previously at QiH Group where he was Head of Partnerships. He’s also held commercial and marketing roles at big-name operators such as Esports Entertainment Group, Argyll Entertainment and Ladbrokes.

“Philip has an incredible track record of success across the organisations he has worked for and we can now leverage this as well as his experience, skills and natural talent as we continue to drive growth at PressEnter Group,” Lahcene said. “We have an incredibly strong senior management team in place and Philip is a great addition to this. I look forward to working with him closely over the coming months to not only meet but exceed our targets for success.”

“Taking on the role of Chief Commercial Officer at PressEnter Group is both an honour and an adventure,” Bell said. “I am genuinely delighted to be part of this forward-thinking business during such an important chapter in the company’s future. I look forward to helping drive innovation, faster growth and ensure that PressEnter Group continues to be a trailblazer in the industry.

“In the short time I have been with the organisation, I have seen first-hand what a brilliant business it is. It’s also been great to work alongside such a creative, talented and innovative team and to bring my experience to the table and to help the group continue to expand at scale and pace.”

SA Gaming is thrilled to announce the launch of Ultra Roulette! It is a thrilling new twist on traditional Roulette! Instead of giving a fixed payout like traditional Roulette offers, Ultra Roulette gives random numbers each round with “Ultra” bonus multipliers!

Ultra Roulette uses a single-zero Roulette, and comes with all available bet options offered in traditional Roulette – Split Bets, Street Bets, Corner Bets, etc. The biggest twist comes when the betting time ends – 1 to 5 random numbers will be assigned with a special multiplier known as an “Ultra” bonus multiplier, ranging from 50x to 1,000x – applied to straight bets only. This is truly a breathtaking experience as the payout is known after the countdown ends, giving unprecedented fun and excitement!
