In-demand content provider Stakelogic is delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with up-and-coming online casino and sports betting operator Midnite. The trend-setting developer will provide Midnite full access to its portfolio of convention-defying slots and its state-of-the-art suite of live casino content.

Per the deal, players at Midnite will be able to spin the reels of Stakelogic’s innovative catalogue of online slot games. This includes daring new titles like Tiki Tiki Hold ‘N’ Win, Pigeon Hut, and Wild Hogs.

Stakelogic’s portfolio is one of the most diverse in the industry, with players also being able to enjoy a selection of classic slot titles. Midnite customers will be able to take a trip down memory lane as they spin the reels on an array of classic and fruit-machine slots from Stakelogic.

Midnite will also receive full access to Stakelogic’s complete live casino offering. This includes immersive live versions of popular games like blackjack and roulette and industry-leading titles like Speed Baccarat and Spin to Win.

An optional side-bet can trigger the feature, which transports players from their online slots into a live studio where they are greeted with the Super Wheel. This exciting bonus gives players the chance to win huge money prizes or trigger one of four additional mini-bonuses.

Midnite is one of the hottest names operating in the UK right now. The dynamic operator provides a range of casino and betting options for its players, putting an emphasis on being built for the next gen player.

The Dutch gambling regulator (KSA) has appointed Michel Groothuizen as its new chairman.

The regulator began the search for a new chairman in October last year after Jansen announced his decision to retire. A lawyer and public administration expert, Groothuizen has served as deputy director general of the Dutch Custodial Institutions Agency (DJI) for the past four years.

“With Michel, the KSA will have a new manager with very broad administrative experience and knowledge of the subject in question,” said Ric de Rooij, deputy secretary general at the ministry of justice and security, which is responsible for the KSA.

“This is also necessary because developments surrounding gambling do not stand still and will continue to require attention. I look forward to working with Michel,” he added.

Groothuizen previously served as general director of the Netherlands Institute for Forensic Psychiatry, and has also been a deputy judge at the Arnhem Court of Appeal for the past 15 years. Between 2001 and 2015, he worked at the ministry of justice and security and as policy director was responsible for, among other things, the establishment of the KSA in 2012.

“Old love never dies. From 2007 onwards, as policy director, I was responsible, among other things, for the gambling dossier. One of my tasks was to establish the Gaming Authority. We succeeded in 2012,” Groothuizen said.

“We had already been working on new legislation for a few years to manage online gambling offerings. It took almost 10 years before the law that was supposed to regulate this actually came into effect. I was long gone by then,” he added.

Groothuizen described his appointment as “a wonderful challenge.”
