Betsson Group has announced that it will host its first Diversity and Inclusion Conference on 17th June 2022 in Malta. The one-day conference aims to connect experts from inside and outside of the iGaming industry to discuss how to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace – where all employees can thrive.

The chosen theme for the first edition of this conference is “Together We Drive Change”. The conference brings together recognised subject-matter experts, well-renowned academics and researchers, industry leaders, HR professionals and representatives from community and support agencies under one roof to speak and discuss about important aspects of diversity and inclusion as well as share best practices.

Betsson Group’s Chief HR Officer, Lena Nordin, said “At Betsson Group, we are committed to support and sustain an environment where all employees are welcomed, respected, appreciated, and able to be themselves – without biases based on differences of any kind.”

As the largest iGaming employer in Malta, Betsson Group has employees from 60+ nationalities and its workforce is made up of approx. 40% women. “We are cultivating a creative environment where we challenge each other and see things from different perspectives. This in turn leads to innovative solutions that help us in accomplishing our mission of providing the best customer experience in the industry,” concluded Ms Nordin.

The business case for diversity and inclusion is stronger than ever. Over the past years, Betsson witnessed a significant increase in employee and customer interest around this topic. Companies that address diversity and inclusion issues are more likely to attract and retain great talent, cultivate positive work environments, promote innovation and performance, and enhance their brand’s value. Betsson believes that to succeed, organisations must build bridges constructively and respectfully, creating cultures where everyone feels they can contribute and belong.

Speakers at the Diversity and Inclusion Conference include:

– Prof. Brenda Murphy (Associate Professor, University of Malta)

– Kelly Kehn and Christina Thakor-Rankin (Co-Founders, All-In Diversity Project)

– Dr. Claire Azzopardi Lane (Deputy Dean & Head of Dept. of Gender and Sexualities & Disabilities Studies)

At booth A3, featuring a brand-new casino-inspired design, SYNOT presented its latest technologies and gaming solutions, which were met with positive feedback from both visitors and business partners.

It was showcased in a configuration featuring an LED jackpot display and the Gamifire Prime gaming system, offering 36 games. Also on display were the brand-new Firebird Gold system, offering a mix of 42 classic and Hold and Respin games, and Firebird Platinum, featuring a combination of 36 classic and linked games.

Visitors could also see other proven models, including the UP2-32, UP1-27, and Eclipse FL-32. The presentation was further enriched by updated jackpot systems, such as the new version of SUPER LINK for slot machines with 8 linked games, presented in the UP2-32 cabinet with LED display; MAGIC BALL LINK in the Eclipse FL-32 setup; and the well-known Firebird Red, Blue and Explosive Games Premium+, which drew significant attention.

A key part of the SYNOT presentation was the SYNNET Casino Management System, introduced by experts from SYNOT Interactive. The company also showcased its complete portfolio of iGaming software solutions. Meanwhile, SYNOT Games highlighted its growing offer of over 200 online games, including the innovative retention tool PEAK, which enables operators to launch targeted promotional campaigns.

“Belgrade Future Gaming is traditionally an important event for us. It provides the opportunity to present our latest innovations, meet with partners, and explore new business opportunities. We were very pleased with the high attendance at our booth and the positive reactions to both our new products and booth design. Throughout the exhibition, we held numerous productive meetings that opened up further opportunities for collaboration.
