Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division, is inviting players to experience a quacking adventure in its latest magical release Diamond Tales™: The Ugly Duckling.

The five-reel slot with 40 win lines, created in collaboration with Intellectual Property owner RoyalCasino Denmark, is based around the famous fairy tale written by Hans Christian Andersen. The storyline unfolds as players progress through each season and live the journey of the ugly duckling developing into a beautiful swan.

The aim of the base game is to collect Diamond Hearts in the Special Reel to help progress the story and reach the Swan Feature. These diamond hearts also influence your winnings in the Diamond Tales feature.

The Snap Drop feature can be triggered at any point in the base game. All the player must do is land a Snap Drop symbol on the fifth reel, with Diamond Hearts in the Special Reel. The Snap Drop Feature awards the player one free respin, where only Diamond Hearts with multipliers on them appear on the reels. Following the respin, all the multipliers are added up, with this sum multiplying the player’s stake.

The Diamond Tales™ Feature is triggered by three Book Bonus Symbols appearing on reels one, three and five. The player enters the feature with one extra Heart added to every space in the Special Reel. Three Free Spins are awarded, which re-trigger every time a new Diamond Heart falls on the main reels. If a Red Diamond Heart appear on a reel, its value will be added to any Red Diamond Hearts that previously landed on the same reel.

Gold Diamond Hearts act as multipliers in the feature. With each consecutive chapter of the game, starting with Spring and ending with the Swan Feature, an additional Gold Diamond Heart is added to the Diamond Tales™ Feature, up to a maximum of five.

Diamond Tales™: The Ugly Duckling also includes a Buy Bonus feature that takes players straight into the Diamond Tales feature, in those jurisdictions where it is permitted.

Markus Antl, Head of Sales and Key Account Management at Greentube, said: “We wanted to create a world that evokes beauty and possibility and in Diamond Tales™: The Ugly Duckling, our design team has done exactly that.

“On top of a well-known story line we created a game that includes several features and develops throughout its gameplay. Diamond Tales™: The Ugly Duckling is an exciting title that will have players on the edge of their seats as they aim to give the fairy tale a truly happy ending. We see this title as one that will appeal to a wide range of players in markets worldwide.”

Per Petersen, CEO of RoyalCasino, said: “The Ugly Duckling is a well-known and much-loved tale across the world. With its origins in Denmark, we are thrilled to have worked together with Greentube to introduce the story as a slot to players around the globe.

“We are thrilled with the result as the game really does the original fairy tale justice while adding an element of excitement and thrill. We can’t wait to let customers experience the story once more as they help The Ugly Duckling evolve into a swan with winnings along the way.”

EveryMatrix has kicked off 2025 with powerful momentum, reporting a standout first quarter of exceptional revenue growth and profitability.

The tier-1 iGaming technology platform supplier delivered a very strong first quarter performance, with net revenue reaching €54 million, up 39% Year-on-Year (YoY), and EBITDA increasing to €28m, up 27% YoY, driven by strong growth from existing clients and innovative product launches.

EBITDA margin reached 52%, making it the eighth consecutive quarter above 50%, as the company continues to scale its platform and casino content technologies while maintaining strong financial discipline.

The last twelve months’ EBITDA reached €107m, up 50% YoY, building on 2024’s milestone achievement of surpassing €100 million in annual EBITDA.

Q1 MILESTONES SIGNAL POWERHOUSE YEAR AHEAD

A highlight of the first quarter was the successful migration of Bet600 – the first full turnkey FSB Technologies customer in the UK – to the EveryMatrix platform. The company aim remains to have all clients fully migrated in 2025 thereby realizing large cost synergies from this key acquisition.

EveryMatrix launched its cutting-edge proprietary Horse Racing solution by combining FSB’s proven knowledge and experience in Horse Racing with the innovation of OddsMatrix development teams. It provides global horse racing coverage with 10k+ monthly events, full system bets offering with bonusing capabilities and configurations and a purpose-built Horse Racing front end with rich Racecard content & live streaming integrations among some of the features.

A landmark deal was signed to deliver a full casino turnkey platform solution to SkyCity Entertainment Group.  SkyCity is one of New Zealand’s largest entertainment companies owning five land-based casinos across both NZ and Australia and the online casino brand SkyCitycasino.com. SkyCity migrates from their current provider to EveryMatrix later this year.

SPORTS SURGE AND STRONG CASINO & PLATFORM GROWTH

Q1 2025 saw the company’s sports division deliver exceptional growth, with quarterly sports turnover rising 30% YoY to €1.7b, while GGR climbing 60% YoY to €154m on the back of continued strong trading margins. The last twelve months (LTM) turnover hit €6.3b, reflecting a 48% YoY increase, with GGR rising by 92% YoY to €505m. Part of the growth came from reaching a record number of nearly 600,000 live events, a 24% YoY increase.

Casino experienced the strongest quarterly financial results to date, with net revenue climbing to €28.6m, up 44% YoY, while EBITDA reached €16.8m, up 29% YoY. Casino GGR reached €753m, a 22% YoY increase, with the LTM reaching €2.9b, a 38% YoY increase.

GamMatrix, the company’s Gaming and Player Account Management Platform, experienced a net revenue increase of €8.6m, up 18% YoY, while EBITDA landed at €2.4m, a 23% decrease YoY. The decrease in EBITDA margin is related to a change in internal revenue allocation.

Ebbe Groes, Group CEO of EveryMatrix, said: “I’m very excited for 2025. Q1 was a solid quarter, a great start, and the rest of the year looks just as promising. We had a phenomenal year in 2024, which will be hard to beat, but thanks to the momentum we’ve set in motion during the last few years, I’m sure we’ll be able to do it.

“Our sports division never ceases to amaze me, breaking record after record. This quarter, we managed to reach 600,000 live events, all thanks to our ability to expand our coverage and add new products and features even while experiencing this much continuous growth.”
