Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Sportradar, the global provider of sports betting and sports entertainment products and services, has appointed former Paddy Power-Betfair CFO Alex Gersh as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Gersh will be based in Sportradar’s London office.

 

Gersh has 25 years of diversified international financial management experience and technical expertise in both public and private equity owned businesses in the UK and US and played a major role in the successful integration of Paddy Power and Betfair.

 

Most recently, he joins from online car purchasing startup Cazoo where he served as CFO. In addition, he has previously held senior financial positions at digital pay TV software solutions NDS Group (Nasdaq listed and private equity owned), Flag Telecom, British Telecom and Motorola.

 

Gersh will report directly to CEO Carsten Koerl and will be responsible for the financial management, planning and performance of the group, including reviewing major investment decisions and new business opportunities.

 

He joins Sportradar at a key moment in the company’s global expansion as it continues to grow its market-leading presence across numerous strategic markets and complementary verticals including betting, OTT, audiovisual, media and integrity. This includes last year’s acquisition of award-winning sports betting and gaming platform Optima which created a global ‘one-stop-shop’ technology and services business capable of offering a complete turnkey solution.

 

Carsten Koerl, Chief Executive Officer, Sportradar, said: “We are delighted Alex has joined us as our new Chief Financial Officer. His expertise is second-to-none with a proven track record in complex organisations. He possesses a profound understanding of the sports, betting, mobile and data sectors which will be vital as we enter the next stage of global growth for the business.”

 

Alex Gersh, Chief Financial Officer, Sportradar, said: “Sportradar is a business I have long admired and I’m thrilled to be joining at such an interesting time for the global sports and betting industries. Carsten and the management team have some very exciting plans over the coming years and I’m looking forward to helping the company achieve its goals.”

Spinomenal releases ‘Break the Piggy’ Bank title
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has enhanced its impressive slot portfolio with the release of Break the Piggy Bank. The game is part of the Classics Series.

A vault stacked high with gold coins sets the scene for this fun slot game that is presented within a 5×3 frame. Sacks of gold coins, pigs, wads of cash and a dazzling diamond make up the medium symbols.

Three or more Golden Piggy Bank symbols will instantly launch the Free Spins mode. Here players can win 10 Free Spins with three Piggy Banks, 15 Free Spins with four, and cool 20 Free Spins with five. Find the Golden Hammer to break into the Piggy Bank and players will benefit from its power to substitute for all other symbols except for the scattered Free Spins symbol.

Spinomenal’s Instant Cash feature is in play too and will activate every time the reel spins and the Instant Cash symbol will randomly present four possible values that are collected in Free Spins. Instant Cash symbols are possible to save up during the round before they grow the Free Spins metre at the top of the reels.

Once four Wild symbols are secured, players will earn 10 additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins finishes. It also means that the Small Instant Cash symbol (pays x2 or x5 of the total bet) turns into a Medium Instant Cash symbol which pays out x10 or x15 of the total bet.

Eight Wild symbols discovered means players will collect six further free spins on all future spins until the free spins end. The Medium Instant Cash symbols are transformed into Large Instant Cash symbols, which pays out x20 or x25 of the total bet.

After finding 12 Wilds symbols, players collect another four additional free spins and on all future spins until the free spins end. This then takes players to the final level where the Huge Instant Cash symbol is activated and pays either x50 or x2000 the total bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Players will be lining up to take a spin on our latest game to join the classics series, Break the Piggy Bank. We’re on the money again with this one as the free games and Instant Cash mechanic promise a wealth of fun.”
