Stakelogic names new head of live casino and expands in Ontario

Casino games developer Stakelogic has appointed Edgars Isajevs as its new head of live casino.

Isajevs brings over a decade of live casino experience to the role, having worked for the likes of Evolution, Pragmatic Play and Winfinity.

“After talking with Edgars for 10 minutes, I knew he would be perfect to lead Stakelogic Live,” said Stakelogic CEO Stephan van den Oetelaar. “His passion for our industry in combination with his profound knowledge of live casino operations make Edgars the perfect executive to strengthen our management team."

Commenting on his appointment, Isajevs said: "I am very excited to start with Stakelogic Live. To me Stakelogic Live, certainly at this moment, is the most innovative game supplier in the industry. Especially their revolutionary ideas about innovating live casino appeal to me."

His appointment coincides with Stakelogic's expansion in Ontario through a new supply deal with Rootz.

“This partnership with Rootz is hugely significant for us - not only does it mean our games are live with another big-name operator, but it also further cements our place as a major player in the Ontario market,” said Stakelogic chief commercial officer Olga Bajela. “No other studio can provide such a broad range of products, with our slots offering an unrivaled online casino experience to players.”

Rootz CEO Sam Brown added: “Content is proving to be king in Ontario, and our players are in for a double helping thanks to Stakelogic. We are delighted to integrate Stakelogic’s impressive classic and video slots into our game lobby. This is a key integration for us, further positioning us as a go-to online casino in the market.”
