CT Gaming announced its participation in the upcoming EAExpo in Romania, where the company will showcase its most innovative and best-selling products. This year’s exhibition will be headlined by the acclaimed NEXT 27 slot cabinet and the Diamond King series.
Since its introduction in Romania, the NEXT 27 slot cabinet has been a remarkable success, with a steadily growing number of installations. The cabinet’s cutting-edge design features two 27″ UHD monitors, an optional 27″ video topper, a convenient play deck, a large CMS panel, a button panel, a built-in i-deck, and a built-in USB port for phone charging. Moreover, the slot machine offers reliability and excellent performance, ensuring a great customer experience and delivering outstanding results for operators.
The success of NEXT is partly due to its compatibility with various multigame packs, such as the Diamond King series. The trilogy has become a favorite among players because of its popular design, captivating visuals, and brilliant mechanics. The latest release, Diamond King 3, is an absolute hit in various markets. The multigame combines 50 classic and new titles, 20 of which are linked to the progressive jackpot Diamond Tree. Additionally, the multigame revives the ultimate Mega Jack trio: Aztec Gold, Champagne Party, and Slot-O-Pol.
“The Diamond King trilogy is among the most popular products in our portfolio. Its captivating graphics and well-thought-out mechanics make it a favorite among local players and a preferred choice for operators,” said Valentina Dobre, General Manager of CT Gaming Romania.
The team has also prepared a few more gems from CT Gaming’s portfolio, including the latest multigame release, Mermaid’s Quest, and the all-in-one solution for any gaming hall, the Rhino Casino Management System (CMS).
“We look forward to meeting everyone interested in CT Gaming’s solutions. Our wonderful team will be situated at stand 301 in the Romexpo Fair Ground in Bucharest and will be ready to provide insights and answer any questions visitors may have,” added Valentina Dobre.

A new fully EveryMatrix-funded project aimed at helping veterans of the war in Ukraine transition to develop new careers in technology has launched in Lviv.
The NGO, entitled ‘Academy for Heroes’, is spearheaded by EveryMatrix and was inspired by its 300+ employees, based in Lviv in Ukraine, some of whom are fighting in the war.
There are hundreds of thousands of combatants in Ukraine, a number that is rising every day. Following their return from war, sometimes with serious injuries, many need social adaptation and work that can provide a more certain future.
The Academy will organise courses designed by leading experts in the IT industry, enabling former military personnel to gain the knowledge and skills needed for successful IT careers.
Beyond its primary goal of equipping veterans with IT skills, it also aims to help them successfully integrate into today’s labour market. EveryMatrix and several other local IT companies will be involved in the employment of veterans after they have completed courses.
Ebbe Groes, Group CEO and Co-Founder, EveryMatrix, said: “Our Lviv office is central to our continued success and growth. Ever since the country has experienced conflict we have supported our friends and colleagues, as well as charities, with much needed funds committing more than €2 million to date, and we will continue to help them.
“Now, we’re taking that one step further by setting up our second company NGO to ensure veterans receive the training and skills they need to return to work and develop successful careers in technology.
“The IT industry is one of the strongest parts of the Ukrainian economy, renowned worldwide for technical skills. I hope many will either join us or go on to join other IT companies, giving them hope and a more certain future for themselves and their families.”
Professor Oleksiy Druhov, CEO, Academy for Heroes, said: “This is the only continuously operating project of its kind in Ukraine for military veterans. Our goal is to teach four groups of veterans every year.
“Each group will have its own specialisation such as Project Management, Quality Assurance and Full stack to name just a few areas. We carefully monitor the Ukrainian IT market and only train the specialisms required.
“All participants will undergo internships at EveryMatrix and other leading Ukrainian IT companies during their studies and they will have the best teachers from the IT Industry. We are also planning to open a specialised, inclusive-friendly training centre at the end of 2024.”
This is the second fully funded NGO that EveryMatrix has initiated. In 2015 the iGaming technology provider established TeachStream supplying much needed funds and resources to disadvantaged children in Romania who might otherwise never have the opportunity to develop IT, computer science, mathematics and English skills.
