ELA Games continues its strategic expansion in Europe and it is another major step in its ability to access distribution and commercial partnerships with companies based in the iGaming hub of Malta.

Mike Cini, Business Owner at ELA Games, commented: “We’re delighted to have obtained our MGA Recognition Notice as it is another major milestone in our regulatory expansion. Malta is the leading iGaming hub in Europe and being authorized there will enable us to work even more closely with our operators and bring player engagement to the next level for our partners.”

They have already received amazing feedback from operators and players and the studio looks forward to signing more partnerships and launching more games in the coming months.

Jelly Entertainment has received regulatory approval for its proprietary platform from both the Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA).

With a Game Host licence in the UK and a Recognition Notice in Malta, the supplier will now have full control of its proprietary technology development and delivery schedule.

These licences pave the way for fostering innovation in platform features and new in-game mechanics as well as bolstering tailored support for operators. It additionally ensures system reliability and security as the business transitions to the next stage in its journey.

Its platform and game content is already certified in accordance with the technical requirements of the Gambling Commission and MGA, and also supports the regulatory requirements of regulators in Sweden, Denmark, Italy and Portugal, as well as multiple other markets.

Having already forged a reputation for successful gaming content, its soon-to-launch titles include CleoPatrick, Midas Riches and Wicked Riches of Oz. Operating since 2020, Jelly is driven to create immersive, supercharged, omni-channel entertainment. In this way it can reach players wherever they are, whenever they want to play, and in any channel they choose – casino, retail or digital. Its manifesto is built on its restless spirit of entrepreneurship; a strategy to differentiate its slot design and delivery by adopting a balanced mix of evolution and revolution.

David Newstead, CEO at Jelly, said: “We are really pleased to see our efforts recognised by another leading authority, and our Notice of Recognition by the MGA is an exciting step forward as we continue to propel ourselves from challenger brand to the ranks of full-service B2B supplier.

Our thanks to the Gambling Commission and Malta Gaming Authority for helping us to achieve another important step on our journey, and we’re looking forward to seeing our titles land in a number of lobbies across Europe and beyond soon.”

Leading operator granted five-year renewal from SGA

The Swedish Gambling Authority (SGA) has awarded a five-year renewal to Videoslots for its licence.

Valid until the end of 2028, the renewal is the maximum possible extension that the SGA can give to operators.

Videoslots has operated in Sweden since the first day the regulated market opened in 2019 with the flagship brand of the group, and most recently alongside its rising star Mr Vegas.

This news confirms Videoslots’ footprint within Europe and the Nordics, following a successful 2023, which saw the release of its 10,000^th slot and the launch in Ontario.

Ulle Skottling, Deputy CEO at Videoslots said the news strengthened the company’s position and validated its player-centric approach.

He added: “We remain strong in business and compliance, and we welcome the SGA’s recognition and ongoing confidence in our practices. The decision supports our plans for 2024.”
