Relax Gaming agree Betsson partnership
Deal sees table games integration before further casino roll-out
Malta, 27th February 2018 – Innovative supplier Relax Gaming has agreed to supply its content to leading multi-brand casino operator Betsson.
Relax will initially provide its suite of high-quality table games at very competitive rates, before rolling out further products later in 2018.
These will go live on Betsson’s self-titled site, as well as a number of its other brands, including Betsafe, NordicBet, Oranje Casino, and Casino.dk.
The table games content, comprising high quality Blackjack and Roulette titles, will run on Relax’s proprietary RNG engine, and feature highly realistic card draws and ball movement.
Andy Braithwaite, Gaming Director at Betsson, said: “We’re always on the lookout for great content to expand our gaming portfolio with. I’m totally confident that our players will welcome these games and we’ll have a very successful partnership together.
“Not only is their content well-regarded in the wider industry, but their attitude to forming cost-effective partnerships with operators is a fresh approach which will help us both succeed in the coming months.”
Patrik Österåker, Relax Gaming’s CEO, said: “Betsson has been one of the key players in leading the online casino sector in Europe over the last few years, and we’re proud to integrate our premium content into their various casino brands.
“We will provide Betsson, as we do with our other partners, with our table games at a far reduced cost compared to some in the industry, helping pave the way for a further roll-out of content.”
Relax Gaming has recently appointed Simon Hammon, previously of NetEnt, and Andrew Cosby, as its Chief Product Officer and Head of Account Management respectively, as it looks to deal with the growing scale of the business.
They also announced that Daniel Eskola will join the company from Kindred and take up the title of CEO in April, with Österåker becoming Chairman of the Board.

COSY UP WITH WILD WINS AND MAGIC MULTIPLIERS IN LUCKY CUSHIONS BY BOLDPLAY
Get ready to put your feet up and ease into a world of cascading wins in Lucky Cushions by Boldplay – the brand-new cluster pays slot where perfect pillow placement can result in players landing consecutive wins on each and every spin!
Played across an expanded 8×8 gameboard, action takes place in front of a cosy backdrop littered with colourful cushions and players will need to put together clusters of matching icons to trigger a symbol cascade. Whenever this happens, all cushions featured in the cluster will be removed from play as new ones drop from above to fill their place, potentially creating additional payouts.
What makes Lucky Cushions comfortably stand out from other cluster pays slots, however, is its exciting bonus features. Firstly, on each new round, players will notice that one non-wild icon will be selected at random to receive an additional multiplier. Any cluster wins that this special symbol appears in will see the regular win boosted by the multiplier value for even better rewards.
On top of that, the game’s wild symbol not only substitutes for all regular icons to complete winning clusters, but when it does, all matching cushions elsewhere on the reels will also be removed, potentially triggering an improved cascade. This effect can also stack after each new cascade, with players able to land consecutive wins on each game round.
To make those well-furnished wins even easier to come by, whenever a spin takes place where no clusters appear and there’s a matching symbol in one of the adjacent reel spaces, it will magically swap positions to complete a cluster and give players an additional chance to start a cascade.
Speaking on this cosy new addition to the Boldplay slot catalogue, Head of Design, Marcus Taylor said: “With its cascading reels, wild wins and big-money multipliers, Lucky Cushions is comfortably the most exciting cluster pays slot we’ve developed so far and we think players are going to love settling in for a session where multiple prizes are available on each and every spin.
“Featuring an expanded 8×8 gameboard, second-chance wins and a pair of rewarding in-reel bonus features, Lucky Cushions is an innovative addition to our line-up that’s perfectly optimised for mobile devices, making it’s a must-have title for all online operators who offer Boldplay slots.”
