Industry Leader Gavin Hamilton Assumes Role as Chairman at Rapidly Growing Slots Developer Octoplay

Octoplay, the cutting-edge online casino slots development company, proudly announces the appointment of Gavin Hamilton (pictured) as Chairman, subject to regulatory approval.

Hamilton, formerly the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Red Tiger Gaming, brings a wealth of industry experience to Octoplay, marking his return to the B2B sector since departing from Evolution following its acquisition of NetEnt, which in turn bought Red Tiger Gaming in 2019.

Having held key roles including CEO for Red Tiger Gaming, Chief Operating Officer for NetEnt and Commercial Director for Evolution, Hamilton joins forces with some of his former colleagues at Octoplay to contribute to the rapid growth of one of the sector’s key challenger brands. His appointment is strategically aligned with Octoplay’s ambitious plans to make a significant impact in the United States market.

Carl Ejlertsson, CEO for Octoplay, expressed his enthusiasm for the role, stating, “As we embark on a transformative journey in 2024, Octoplay is poised for a pivotal year. Gavin’s invaluable experience in navigating the intricacies of scaling a business into diverse regulated markets will undoubtedly expedite our development.”

“I am thrilled to be joining Octoplay as Chairman,” Hamilton said. “I am impressed by what it has achieved in such a short period and am excited to be part of the delivery of the strategy going forward.”

In a market where establishing a new supplier presents unprecedented challenges, Hamilton emphasises the critical importance of a relentless focus on product and innovation. He commends Octoplay for embodying this principle, stating: “For Octoplay to have already secured partnerships with most of the world’s largest operators is a significant endorsement of its commitment to product excellence and innovation.”

As Octoplay looks forward to an exciting future, Hamilton’s strategic guidance is poised to play a crucial role in driving the company’s success.
