Relax Gaming, one of the more resounding names in the iGaming industry, has recently appointed Martin Stålros its new CEO.

Before joining Relax Gaming’s team, Martin Stålros was head of poker operations and business development manager at Kindred Group. He also held the positions of customer development manager for poker and marketing executive at Ladbrokes Egaming.

With such vast experience, it was no wonder Relax Gaming took him on in 2015 when he started working there as the chief operating officer. The job of second in charge was no easy task, but the striving and ambitious Stålros managed it all.

Stålros replaces Simon Hammon

Stålros succeeds Simon Hammon, who has been CEO at Relax Gaming since 2022. During his reign, Hammon supervised the progress of the Money Train series, which eventually became one of the more successful pokie collections in the market. Moreover, he was behind the Dream Drop release, a progressive jackpot, owing to which 14 gamers are now millionaires.

Hammon has devotedly worked on promoting Relax Gaming in his years at the company. He finds the last two years as CEO the most rewarding but also quite challenging. In the times to come, he rests assured that his colleague Martin Stålros will take over and steer the company without any difficulties.

Full steam ahead with the new CEO

Considering the time Stålros has spent at Relax Gaming, we find Hammon is right to think this unique supplier will only benefit from the change. The new CEO has been part of the team since its beginnings and has always been an integral part of each project.

The experience, knowledge, and vision Stålros has will undoubtedly help Relax Gaming grow and expand even further. This is certainly what the board believes, as the freshly appointed CEO has its complete endorsement. Times and demand are changing in the online gambling industry, and a fresh perspective is possibly what Relax Gaming has in mind.

Relax Gaming enters the US market

The success-driven pokies supplier has recently gained access to the US market. For now, only punters in New Jersey can enjoy the riveting, top-tier content coming from this provider. None other than BetMGM are the studio’s new partners, which is enough testimony they are off to a great start.

No doubt, Relax Gaming pokies have continuously stirred water, which is why I think the developer’s expansion throughout North America has only just begun.
