Snabbis.com Launches Full Sportsbook Through Metric Gaming
Metric Gaming, the innovative B2B sportsbook platform and services provider, has powered another complete sportsbook launch following the successful debut of Snabbis sports betting service. The European sportsbook, which comes two years after its online casino launch, will be made available and fully localised in each country the brand operates in.
Snabbis’ sportsbook will offer players an enhanced customer service experience via Metric Gaming’s in-play personalisation engine, while an optimised back-end can process more than 2,000 bets per second.
“We are pleased to have our Sportsbook live and are confident we have a product led platform that we are able to differentiate; allowing us to compete for market share,” said Max Falkman, Snabbis’ Managing Director.
“Our future plans align well with Metric’s and we have every confidence in Metric’s cloud-based technology and we’re looking forward to a long and successful relationship.”
Metric Gaming’s complete sportsbook product is a multi-tenant platform, which houses multiple operators while allowing them to maintain complete independence. It enables individualised odds and risk set-up for each tenant by configuring more than 20 custom parameters and can provide a customised or templated user interface.
The sportsbook allows pricing autonomy for every market and every selection, a vital advantage as international brands consider localised marketing campaigns and taxation rules.
“We’re thrilled our partners at Snabbis have entrusted us with their entry into the sportsbook vertical. Snabbis will benefit from a best-in-class sportsbook proposition that will bring a market-beating product to their players,” said Jim Supple, CEO of Metric Gaming, which is licensed in the UK and Malta.
“The Metric Gaming complete sportsbook product synchronises perfectly with their expansion plans across multiple territories. Its localisation capability will give them a significant competitive advantage over their rivals, and we’re excited to have the opportunity to contribute to Snabbis’ success.”

Rise of Orpheus unites myth, love, and thrilling features

Play’n GO unveils Rise of Orpheus, a mythical slot that takes players deep into the Underworld in pursuit of love, light, and powerful gameplay features.
Following in the footsteps of mythology-inspired favourites like Gates of Troy and Rise of Olympus, Rise of Orpheus brings the tragic tale of Orpheus and Eurydice to life through emotionally charged mechanics and immersive storytelling. As Orpheus ventures into the realm of shadows to reclaim his lost love, players are invited to join a cinematic journey shaped by love, risk, and divine intervention. With its richly atmospheric visuals and evolving feature set, Rise of Orpheus stands as a testament to Play’n GO’s commitment to blending narrative depth with standout gameplay.
At the heart of the game is the Reunion feature, triggered when both lovers appear on screen. Orpheus walks across the reels to reach Eurydice, leaving Wilds in his path and forming a powerful combined symbol. In tandem, Eurydice’s Multiplier grows with each of her appearances during Free Spins, heightening the emotional – and gameplay – stakes. Meanwhile, the Wrath of Cerberus Respin and Wild Meter mechanics provide escalating excitement and layered rewards. These features don’t just elevate gameplay – they mirror the desperate determination of Orpheus’ journey.
Players drawn to the rich lore of Divine Showdown or the emotional arcs of Tales of Asgard: Freya’s Wedding will find familiar satisfaction in Rise of Orpheus. As part of Play’n GO’s mythology-inspired portfolio, this title offers a unique take on the legendary love story, marrying poetic tragedy with inventive mechanics. The game’s progression through the Underworld’s levels also echoes the structure of House of Doom II, offering evolving gameplay with dramatic flair.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, commented: “With Rise of Orpheus, we wanted to craft a slot that resonates emotionally as well as mechanically. This is a love story wrapped in myth, with every feature reinforcing the journey of reunion and risk.”
A poignant story. Powerful features. Rise of Orpheus invites players to walk through shadows – and witness love reshape destiny.
