Olga Bajela appointed as Cherry Play CEO
A new studio enters the market with an innovative, no-revenue-share commercial model, partnering with Bragg Gaming Group for technology and distribution, and led by a former Stakelogic CCO.
Cherry Play, a new and exciting game studio, has broken cover with the appointment of Olga Bajela as Chief Executive Officer.
Bajela’s rise through the industry has been meteoric – in just four years she has gone from executive to Chief Commercial Officer of Stakelogic and now CEO of Cherry Play.
This rapid rise through the ranks has seen her pick up several industry awards including Woman Leader of the Year.
As Cherry Play CEO, Bajela has been tasked with overseeing the launch of the studio which plans to disrupt the status quo with an innovative commercial model that does away with the standard revenue share.
Instead, operators pay a licence fee to add Cherry Play’s games to their lobbies and to offer them to players.
Bajela will also be responsible for building out the management team and onboarding the industry’s brightest minds and creative talents with the studio looking to scale at pace.
Cherry Play is incredibly ambitious and will combine its unique commercial model with a portfolio of thrilling slots and casino games to not only meet but exceed operator and player expectations.
To accelerate its market entry, Cherry Play has selected Bragg, a leading global content distribution network, as its exclusive technology and distribution partner.
Cherry Play’s games are being developed on the Bragg Gaming technology stack, with two new slot titles set to launch in January, just ahead of ICE Barcelona.
Olga Bajela, CEO of Cherry Play, said: “Having helped to build and sell Stakelogic I am now ready to take on a new challenge and couldn’t be happier to have been appointed as CEO of Cherry Play.
“Innovation covers so much more than game mechanics and with our unique commercial model, I am confident we are going to disrupt the slot provision space.
“We are focused on producing two great games per month on the powerful Bragg tech stack and already have an incredible team in place who are just as passionate about entertaining players as I am.
“Cherry Play is here to make an impact, and we can’t wait to launch our first title in January.”
Matevz Mazij Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, Bragg Gaming Group commented: “We’re delighted to welcome Cherry Play as a valued partner to Bragg and look forward to a dynamic and long-lasting collaboration to deliver game-changing, localized online casino content. The Cherry Play team’s extensive experience of the Netherlands regulated market will undoubtedly benefit Bragg as we continue to expand our strong position in that market.
“Our new partnership with Cherry Play will also allow us to offer some great new online casino content not only to our Dutch operator partners, but to those operators in the wider European and RoW markets going forward. I’m excited to view the results,” Mazij added.

From Strategy to Success: Experienced Players Share Their Tips for Live Baccarat Games
The explosion of online gambling around the world has prompted a change in attitude towards this form of entertainment. Online gambling providers are exploiting the riches of the online world to provide casino enthusiasts with a more convenient and accessible avenue to play their favourite casino games. In Canada, online versions of roulette, blackjack, slots, and poker have proved popular with the millions flocking through the online casino doors. However, there is one game that ranks higher on the popularity scale, baccarat.
For novices, many will view baccarat as a variant of blackjack. But with its own set of intricate rules that make the game of baccarat so unique, the game brings its own individual fun factor and strategic approach. The evolution of online gambling has arrived at the point of video feeds to live dealers who unveil the fate of the round right before your eyes. Live casinos are beginning to catch on in provinces where online gambling is legal, with players taking to the idea of playing right from the comfort of their homes.
But whether you are playing from your armchair, or on a commute somewhere, what are some of the most vital tips to keep in mind once you enter the live online baccarat realm?
1) Know the odds: Statistically, baccarat is listed as a game of chance. Amongst the three outcomes, betting with the banker statistically has the highest chance of winning, at 45.8%. However, according to some sources, this value can reach as high as 50%. Either way, there is not an overwhelming majority. Betting on the player comes in on average 44.5% of the time, with a tie understandably much lower at just under 10%.
Taking this knowledge into the virtual baccarat room gives you an idea of how to approach each round. Where you place your bet also depends on how much risk you take, or conversely, how risk averse you are. The riskiest strategy would be betting on the tie. But at 8/1, or 9/1 in some online casinos, the rewards are naturally higher.
Statistically, the safest bet is to go with the banker. But even this comes with a kicker. What some players do not know if that the house takes 5% commission on any bets won by the banker. This therefore lowers the payout line to around 0.95:1, instead of the 1:1 reward when betting on the player. This provides a conundrum for players as a slight edge in reward is shaved off when backing the more likely outcome.
2) Do not read too much into patterns: Due to the element of chance steeply involved in baccarat, there is less to work out for the player. Whereas there are many different hands that players could have in poker, or a higher or lower risk connected with taking another card in blackjack, there is little to read into baccarat. Even card counting is less relevant.
With few patterns to be discovered, Canadians can instead shop around the online casino market to find a platform that perhaps offers lower commission taken on banker wins. There are plenty of online casino operators that provide live baccarat online for Canadians and finding one that takes less than the standard 5% would only be advantageous for you, the player.
3) Quit when ahead on short sessions: The most common strategy when playing live baccarat, or in online casinos in general, is to quit while you are ahead, or up. Conversely, chasing losses is the least advisable strategy and can avalanche very quickly into greater losses. But committing to a short period of play, perhaps with a specified amount of funds set aside for that short session, you can emerge satisfied from the live baccarat table regardless of the outcome.
