Stakelogic ensures it’s max fun at MaxBet.ro

Popular studio’s classic and video slots now available to operator’s players in Romania
Players at MaxBet.ro in Romania should strap themselves in for an online slot thrill ride like no other after the popular operator put pen to paper on a deal with tier-one developer, Stakelogic.
The partnership will see MaxBet.ro add Stakelogic content to its game lobby for the very first time. This includes the studio’s traditional classic slots as well as its big-action video slots. The integration has been facilitated by the leading aggregator, EveryMatrix.
Stakelogic has enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top of the charts with its slots that have been designed to put players on the edge of their seats with every spin – whether classic or video. In fact, the provider’s classic slots are some of the most entertaining in the market.
A sense of nostalgia is stirred through the instantly-recognisable fruit (melons, cherries, grapes, oranges, etc), BAR, 7 and Bell symbols that land on the reels. But the gameplay is levelled up through features such as Wilds, Multipliers and even Free Spins, providing a classic slot experience like no other.
Classic titles include Multi6Player, Multi Player, Bonus Runner, Runner Runner Megaways and Big Runner Deluxe.
If it’s explosive gameplay that MaxBet.ro players are looking for, that is what they will find in Stakelogic’s video slots. Titles such as Money Track, Treasures of Ra, Spartans vs Zombies Megaways, Greedy Fox and soon-to-launch Money Track 2 combine striking visuals, booming sound and monster bonuses to get the adrenaline flowing as the potential for a mega win builds.
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 MaxBet.ro players in Romania.
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 live dealer for the first time. It sees players spin a live prize wheel for the chance to potentially win big.
Danila Dzehs, Senior Sales Manager at Stakelogic, said: “Our games have been designed to provide unrivalled levels of fun, excitement and entertainment, and MaxBet.ro players can now experience this for themselves for the first time. Our classic and video slots have hit the mark with players across Europe, and it will be no different in Romania.
This is another important partnership for us, adding a player-favourite operator to our impressive roster of customers. We now look forward to seeing MaxBet.ro players enjoy the max entertainment our games have allowed us to build our reputation on.”
Secaci Matei, Promotional Manager at MaxBet.ro, added: “The addition of Stakelogic allows us to turbo-charge our game lobby with content that gets pulses racing with every spin. Classic or video, the developer’s slots are proven with players across Europe and they will absolutely be a big hit with ours in Romania.”

EGT Digital’s Games are Live in Ukraine

EGT Digital’s titles are ready to become favourites to the customers of the popular Ukrainian operator Favbet. The visitors are able to choose among all attractive propositions from the top performing jackpots Bell Link, High Cash, Clover Chance, and the five games with a Single Progressive Jackpot. The multiplayer title xRide, which is among the newest additions to the Bulgarian provider’s portfolio, is also available to the local players to add even more thrill to their experience.
“We are beyond happy that Favbet gave us the opportunity to present our games on the Ukrainian market. For us it’s very important to create new types of gaming content which is tailored according to the players’ needs and requirements. That’s why together with the classic slots we developed games such as Sugartime, featuring cascading winnings and Buy-In features, as well as the latest proposition xRide, in which the winnings are generated by an increasing multiplier and the players are able to track in real-time the results of the other participants. I believe that our titles will meet and even exceed the operator’s expectations,” Tsvetomira Drumeva, Head of Sales at EGT Digital, said.
“We decided to collaborate with the Bulgarian company, because we are constantly looking for new providers of fresh and attractive gaming content. It looks like we have made the right choice, because the results demonstrated so far are excellent,” Andrii Krasko, Head of Online Casino at Favbet, said.
