Hi Margo Redko! We are really excited to have you here on iGamingPub!
Q – Could you please tell us a little about you and your role?
Hello! Thank you for inviting me over. My name is Margo, and I’m the Head of Account Management at Gamzix. I was promoted to this position not long ago and I’m still getting used to my new responsibilities. I’m happy to have experienced such professional growth in less than 2 years. It serves as a perfect confirmation that I’m moving in the right direction.
My main task at work is the creation and improvement of the company’s partner networks, which involves developing strategies, establishing new partnerships, nurturing existing ones, and representing Gamzix at various iGaming exhibitions such as ICE, iGB, SIGMA, etc.
Q – What are the key difficulties you encounter in your position as Head of Account Management of Gamzix, an iGaming provider?
My professional journey at Gamzix and in the iGaming field has been both rapid and gradual. My current position is the result of passionate steps that have driven me to choose my work every day, no matter what. I began my career as an Account Manager, then was promoted to Lead Account Manager, and now I hold the position of Head of Account Management.
Each new role presented its own set of challenges for me, and this time is no exception. Right now, my primary focus is learning how to take responsibility for the entire team and become a leader that my colleagues want to follow. Nobody can truly be prepared for the level of responsibility; you have to learn to manage it on your own. Additionally, it’s crucial to remember that while you are driving the process, you are still a part of the team.
Q – Can you tell us briefly about the history of Gamzix? What are the company’s key achievements in your opinion?
Gamzix was established in March 2020 in Estonia and since has expanded rapidly to Cyprus, Ukraine, and Poland. In June 2020, we released our first game, ‘Joker Splash,’ and received an RNG certificate from iTechLabs. Later in September, Gamzix went live!
Today, Gamzix offers a portfolio of almost 60 games available in over 1,000 casinos. Our team consists of over 50 professionals working across offices in four countries: Estonia, Ukraine, Cyprus, and Poland. Gamzix has been nominated for 12 awards and has won two of them: the SiGMA Industry Rising Star of the Year and the SlotsWise Awards Winner for One to Watch.
We apply personal branding and participate in iGaming exhibitions to increase brand recognition. You can often meet our team at SIGMA, ICE, and iGB. In July, you can meet me in person at IGB Live in Amsterdam and SiGMA Asia in Manila.
Sometimes, it’s hard to believe that we can summarize all these achievements in just a few paragraphs, considering the amount of work that goes into them. I am proud to be surrounded by such passionate individuals who drive Gamzix forward and continually make it better every day.
Q – Can you tell us about the vision and mission of Gamzix as an iGaming provider?
As a slot provider, our vision is simple: to become the number one provider in the market and offer the best possible service to our clients and players, setting an example in the iGaming field. Our mission is to provide a high level of entertainment experience for players worldwide and become their first choice when it comes to selecting a slot provider.
To turn this vision into reality, we uphold the values of teamwork, flexibility, following trends, and setting ambitious goals. Having been a part of Gamzix for a long time, I have witnessed the incredible things that can be achieved when professionals unite under a shared idea. It is amazing to work in an atmosphere of support and to feel valued. As a young and adaptable team, we not only showcase our commitment through our actions but also through our approach. We embrace new challenges and industry changes, as they encourage us to think differently and ultimately stand out and improve.
Q – A lot of your games are front-runners nowadays. Could you highlight some of the innovative features or technologies that Gamzix incorporates into its games?
“Hold the Spin“ is a unique Gamzix’s mechanic that serves as the main attraction in most of our games. It is a bonus feature that offers respins and payouts for bonus symbols, with multipliers that can reach up to x5000. In each game “Hold the Spin“ could perform in different ways.
For example, in “Ruby Win” slot Bonus Game appears on the reel after 3 special crystal symbols let it happen. It has 3 respins at the beginning. The random appearance of the Bonus symbols triggers the corresponding Jackpot: Mini, Minor, Major, Grand. Stacks of symbols fill the whole reel with the same symbol and let to get an Epic Win.
Speaking of Bonus Game in “Sunny Coin 2: Hold the Spin” slot, each newly dropped Coin resets the free spins to its starting value and stays on the reel until the end of the Bonus Game. After all free spins are played all values are summarized and awarded to the player. Bronze, Silver and Gold Jackpots can be obtained randomly. In order to get the Platinum one, players need to collect 15 Coins on the reels during the Bonus Game. Mystery Coin can become a random jackpot at the end of the Bonus Game. There are many examples, so I advise you to try out all Gamzix’s games with “Hold the Spin” mechanics.
We also pay attention to creating slots with rich in-game features. This makes our portfolio diverse, so players can find what entertains them the most. For example, a mix of Bonus Game, Jackpots, Buy Free Spins and Hold the Spin you can find in such games as “Sunny Coin”, “Wolf Story”, “Buffalo Coin” and others.
Q – What are your most popular slots titles, and why do you think players love them?
Loved by everyone, fruit slots are always at the top of the list. They are equally simple, entertaining, and this is what makes them so popular among players. Moreover, slots with “Hold the Spin” mechanics are gaining popularity really quickly. And here are games that are both: my personal TOP and a choice of our players.
- “3×3: Hold the Spin” game is a mix of simple rules, fresh design ideas and juicy sounds. This combination makes the game very understandable and enjoyable. The slot offers exciting Bonus and Gamble games.
- “Sunny Coin 2: Hold the Spin” slot is such an expected continuation of Gamzix’s favorite game, dedicated to the world’s best civilization – Ancient Egypt and its unrevealed secrets. But this time it is filled with new characteristics, advanced design and music accompaniment: Free Spins levels, Bonus Game with Mystery Coin, Buy Free Spins, 4 types of Jackpot.
- “Ultra Luck” is a 3×3 slot game with old-school design, a well-known gaming strategy, but new features that have never appeared in Gamzix’s games before, like Wheel of Luck and Lucky Respin features.
Q – How does Gamzix ensure compliance with regulations and standards in different jurisdictions?
The iGaming industry operates under strict regulations, which is completely understandable. Security is paramount in this industry, and every provider must take essential steps to protect themselves, clients, and players.
By choosing to operate in the iGaming industry, Gamzix automatically embraces any changes in the regulatory field. These rules are necessary for creating a safe space for players, and of course, this is a priority for our team. We remain dedicated to this principle, as our ultimate goal remains unchanged: to become the leading slot provider.
Our ambitious plans include entering the markets of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Undoubtedly, this endeavour requires time, energy, financial investment, and technological advancements. Currently, we are in the process of obtaining a Maltese license from the MGA, and there’s more to come.
Q – Could you share some insights into the main goals and strategies of Gamzix for the year 2023? What can we expect from the company in terms of new releases, partnerships, or expansions?
In 2023, we have ambitious plans to expand our portfolio to include a diverse range of slots, crash games, and mini games. Gamzix’s aim and mission are to deliver an exceptional gaming experience to our players.
Regarding marketing, our objective is to enhance brand recognition among players, partners, and the global community. To achieve this, we actively participate in exhibitions such as SiGMA, CasinoBeats, iGB, ICE, and G2E.
Furthermore, we recognize the importance of attracting talented specialists for collaboration, individuals who will contribute to our company and strengthen us internally.
