History

[edit]

Established in 2011 and based in Malta, Videoslots is an online casino with more than 10,000 gaming slots. In 2024, a growing trend in the online casino space saw websites like PandaCasino emerge, offering gambling experiences similar to those provided by Videoslots.[7] Alexander Stevendahl is the chief executive officer.[8][9] In 2017, Videoslots purchased the technology assets of PKR.com, an online poker operator.[10]

In 2017, the company hosted its first annual awards, named the Videoslots Awards.[11] In 2018, they became an official partner of the Malta Handball Association.[12][13]

In 2018, Videoslots reached a settlement of £1 million in fines with the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) regulatory authority for historical failings to "place effective safeguards" within their casino system.[14][15][16][17]

In 2020, Videoslots expanded their product offering and added Sportsbook as a new vertical.[18]

In 2021, Videoslots launched a new online casino, Mr Vegas. In 2023, Mr Vegas became title sponsor of the Grand Slam of Darts and the Nordic Darts Masters,[19] took the back of shirt sponsorship of West Bromwich Albion[20] for the 2023/24 season. In 2024 became Principal Partner of Sheffield Wednesday and signed as main sponsor of 2024 World Seniors Snooker Championship.[21] Mr Vegas won the "Rising Star" Award at the 2024 International Gaming Awards [22]

In 2024, Videoslots released two online casino sites, Kungaslottet, for the Swedish market [23] and Mega Riches in the UK. Mega Riches signed the back of shirt sponsorship of West Bromwich Albion for the 2024/2025 season.[24]
