Reading Time: 2 minutes

Clyde Harris, Graham Cassell, Mick d’Ancona and Peter Sherman have worked with, and for, some of the biggest names in the gaming and betting industry. In 2023 the four long-time friends and colleagues decided that if they integrated their talents into a single consultancy then together they could use their combined 100+ years of experience to help companies looking to make material improvements in capability, products or process.

Circle Squared has at its core an ethos based upon making light work of difficult tasks with good humour, so that clients get the external expertise they most need to guide the organisational and technological transformation of their business.

“I’ve been involved in so many industry projects – big and small – so I know how much time and energy can be wasted if the approach is not right. We set up Circle Squared because we know things don’t have to be like that and that our direct experience means we can help deliver impactful change where it is most needed”, said Graham Cassell.

“Deciding to work together as Circle Squared was a no-brainer; I’ve known these guys for a long time and really like working with them. And, even more importantly, I know that when we combine our different experience and skills, we offer much more to the industry as a team than as four separate individuals. There’s real strength in our collective” – Clyde Harris.

The Circle Squared partners want to be defined by the things they do differently – and that their values of curiosity, empathy, respect, humility and open communications in every collaboration will produce better business results.

Mick d’Ancona has held multiple C-level and senior leadership roles at tier one operators and software suppliers, including Ladbrokes, OpenBet, NYX, SG Digital and KingMakers.

Peter Sherman has particular expertise in betting and trading systems, and was technical lead for the launch of the Caesars mobile (online) sportsbook in multiple states across the U.S.

Clyde Harris has a background at major industry players like Ladbrokes, SG Digital and Code Factory, gaining unparalleled experience in product delivery and operational execution for sports betting businesses.

Graham Cassell has held several senior leadership roles at companies including Ladbrokes, Moneycorp, Paddy Power, Betfair and Flutter, running large-scale technology teams specialised in delivering and operating complex real-time, low latency systems.

George Miller (Gyorgy Molnar) started his career in content marketing and has started working as an Editor/Content Manager for our company in 2016. George has acquired many experiences when it comes to interviews and newsworthy content becoming Head of Content in 2017. He is responsible for the news being shared on multiple websites that are part of the European Gaming Media Network.

Bubblin’ Riches surfaces with stacks of coin-filled fun

Reading Time: 2 minutes

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.

Emerging-markets leader expands its offering with a fresh portfolio from the ascendant Scandinavian studio

QTech Games, the leading game aggregator for emerging markets, has maintained the strong momentum in its deal-flow, thanks to its latest integration with Popiplay, an emerging force in high-level slots entertainment.

Integrating content from one of the more innovative and creative online slots providers adds yet more muscle to QTech Games’ burgeoning platform, which is taking the widest range of online games to emerging territories with established names, sitting alongside the industry’s most exciting up-and-coming providers.

Popiplay slot designs are recognised for a more modern approach – being streamer-focused, crypto-ready and high roller-friendly – while also showcasing special features (like Bonus Buy, and Chance 2x and 3x options) that elevate the player experience and deepen engagement. These features are in evidence across an array of popular titles, including new releases such as Fruit Empire and Jellyens X, which eloquently demonstrate Popiplay’s eclectic range of hit slots.

The agreement organically broadens Popiplay’s global scope, targeting emerging markets and creating new revenue streams. As the fastest-growing aggregator over the past few years, QTech’s platform offers the most expansive gaming portfolio around, localised for each region, retention and marketing tools, and 24/7 local-language support.

Philip Doftvik, QTech Games’ CEO, said: “We’re excited to add Popiplay to our growing ranks. They are now coupling modern player demands to their existing cutting-edge mechanics, offering global operators varied content with which to captivate and retain the end user. And by combining unique maths modelling, which spans the volatility spectrum, with twists on conventional narratives, these games will foster some truly engaging gameplay for fresh cohorts of QTech players. Indeed, it’s been rewarding to see how Popiplay invariably seek to redefine the existing ecosystem and reimagine more traditional gaming experiences with each play. We look forward to watching how these games perform in regions which, in many cases, break new ground for Popiplay.”

Almir Kudic, CCO of Popiplay, added: “Through this partnership, Popiplay’s portfolio of dynamic slot games has been seamlessly integrated into QTech’s dominant aggregation platform for emerging markets, opening up a new network of partners and players worldwide for us. We can’t wait to see what the reception is. Through our combined commitment to collaboration and innovation, we can continue to work together to tailor the content for truly localised games that drive enhanced engagement and interest across a diverse and ever-changing slots landscape.

“At Popiplay, we firmly believe that our trademark creativity drives innovation. So, we’re committed to raising the bar in the igaming sector and pushing the boundaries of how these games look and feel. And this partnership with QTech constitutes a great opportunity to extend our product distribution across new territories and deliver our games to a range of top-tier partners.”
