The aim of the cooperation between Mindway AI and the Hellenic Gaming Commission is to enhance player protection in the Greek gambling industry. The two parties seek to elaborate on the risk assessment methodology applied to assess whether a player is about to develop problem gambling behavior.

Mindway AI has signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Hellenic Gaming Commission on issues related to responsible gambling, the protection of players and gambling addiction prevention.

“We are pleased that the Hellenic Gaming Commission has shown us the trust to collaborate with us utilizing our in-depth scientific expertise and potentially our award-winning player protection software built on a unique combination of neuroscience, AI, and human psychologists’ assessments,” the Chief Executive Officer for Mindway AI, Rasmus Kjaergaard, said.

Originally, Mindway AI’s player protection software was developed to be implemented by operators as an early detector of problematic gambling behavior but we have found that it might be used across an entire market as well.

“The idea of using our expertise and maybe our software across a full market gambling jurisdiction in Greece is exciting and innovative. Together with Hellenic Gambling Commission, we intend to co-create the needed adjustments to adapt to the extra requirements that may occur when this new approach can cover a whole market and not solely individual operators,” Kjaergaard said.

Within the framework of their collaboration, the two parties shall evaluate the use of AI software in combination with neuroscientific insights and expert assessments to identify at-risk gambling behavior. The Hellenic Gaming Commission will then seek to take initiatives and proper measures and proceed with interventions, both at the regulatory and supervisory-audit levels, to handle at-risk gambling behavior and minimize the harm related to gambling addiction.

Operator launches studio’s proven classic and video slots to its players

Stakelogic continues to take the industry by storm with yet another big-name operator partnership in the bag. The in-demand studio has just signed a deal with Fonbet to deliver its full suite of classic and video slots to the operator’s players in Greece.

The integration adds variety and quality to Fonbet’s game lobby, with its players now able to experience the hype that surrounds Stakelogic’s slots for the first time. Whether they prefer nostalgia-fill classic slots, or action-packed video slots, there are games for all player preferences.

Stakelogic is something of a classic slot specialist with its suite of games that combine traditional symbols such as melons, grapes, cherries, oranges, 7s, Bells and Bars with gameplay that ramps up the anticipation and big win potential via features like Wilds, Multipliers and even Free Spins.

Classic slots now available to Fonbet players in Greece include Super Bonus Wild, Runner 8 Runner, Bonus Runner, Super 6 Timer and Mega Runner.

When it comes to modern video slots, those developed by Stakelogic often go on to top the charts in markets across the world. This is thanks to the striking design, big sound and frankly insane bonus features built into games such as Cash Express, Wild Buzz, El Cowboy Megaways, Devil’s Trap, Diamond Staxx Multipays^TM and Star Staxx^TM.

Stakelogic is committed to being at the cutting edge of online casino game development, and this is evident in features such as Super Stake and Spin to Win, both of which are now available to Fonbet players in Greece.

Super Stake allows players to effectively double their bet to increase the chance of a bonus triggering and insane win combinations landing, while Spin to Win combines RNG gameplay with a progressive jackpot Game Show hosted by live gameshow hosts. It sees players spin a live prize wheel for the chance to potentially win big.

Danila Dzehs, Senior Sales Manager at Stakelogic, said: “This deal with Fonbet adds another major operator to our network of partners and means that its players can spin the reels on our in-demand classic and video slots for the very first time. Our slots have been designed to deliver a player experience like no other and we can’t wait to see Fonbet players activate Super Stake and enjoy their first Spin to Win round.”

Yiannis Gangas, Deputy General Director at Fonbet (Plumo Ltd Athens Branch), added: “One of the main reasons why we have become the go-to destination for online casino players in Greece is our ever-expanding selection of slot games. The recent addition of Stakelogic means our players can now enjoy some of the most popular slots in the market and that’s what makes this such an important partnership for us.”
