Jonathan Gauci announces the launch of a new platform venture Elantil
Having overseen the development of several successful online casino platforms throughout his career, Jonathan Gauci, former SVP of Engineering at Gaming Innovation Group, has announced he will now be striking out on a new venture called Elantil.
Dreamed up as a direct response to the industry platform limitations and customer pain points Gauci had witnessed during his 22+ years in the industry, Elantil aims to provide a comprehensive solution that enhances companies’ casino operations with seamless growth, optimisation and scalability.
With a vision that promises not to hinder that of its clients, Elantil plans to offer an accessible and effortless service to partners that features a range of user-friendly tools designed to maximise 3rd party innovation and in-house USPs and put greater control of the platform back in the hands of the operator.
Given Gauci’s considerable experience with online casino platform development and his in-depth understanding of customers’ needs, Elantil will be uniquely placed among the competition in that it’s a new product built specifically to improve on what’s currently available in the market.
Certified and compliant with international regulations, Elantil will provide ethically sound and legally secure operations to customers around the world while also delivering a scalable platform that’s capable of growing with businesses’ needs and supplying sustainable, long-term solutions.
Of course, as a new venture that’s being developed from the ground-up, Gauci also has the luxury of putting together a hand-picked team of experts to support the Elantil brand. Jonathan is founding Elantil alongside seasoned industry peers John Debono, Clyde Vassallo, and Shaun Tabone, and the company is also expecting to announce a couple of major additions to its executive-level team over the coming weeks.
Interested operators can visit the Elantil.com website to learn more about the product and sign up for future updates, meaning they’ll get all the latest news as this state-of-the-art platform solution gets ready to take the industry by storm.
Jonathan Gauci, Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Elantil, said: “Having worked in the iGaming industry for over 22 years and overseen the development of six online casino platforms, I thought it was about time I put this accumulated expertise to good use by developing an all-new solution that really addresses the issues operators are experiencing with their current providers.
“The goal of Elantil going forward will be to do all this and more while also providing an unrivalled customer experience that empowers operators to stay in control of their business through user-friendly, self-service features that maximise 3rd party industry innovation and in-house USPs. With Elantil, operators can achieve fast market entry, setting them up for success from the outset. I’m excited about launching the product and expect we’ll have many more big announcements to make in the coming weeks.”

SLOT MACHINE MANUFACTURER ZITRO UNVEILS NEW SLOTS FEATURING LIGHTING SYSTEMS TIMED TO GAME SEQUENCES
Casino goers enjoy slot machines for a whole host of reasons. Some enjoy their tried-and-true favorite games. Some people like discovering new games. Gaming manufacturer, Zitro, has just introduced slot games enclosed in a new cabinet called CONCEPT that synchronizes its Magic Lighting system to elements of the game and what a player sees on the screen.
Zitro launched the system at Pechanga Resort Casino just outside Temecula, California. Pechanga is among the first casinos in California to feature the CONCEPT cabinet and its upgraded and inviting technology. Pechanga guests can try their luck on Zitro’s Legendary Sword slot game, a medieval-themed, multi-game players like for immersive gameplay and standout features such as a four-level jackpot link, mystery-activated bonuses, and special in-game powers such as “Honor,” which multiplies rewards, “Glory,” which grants extra lives, and the “Magic Sword,” which doubles Link symbols on the boosted column. Players can experience up to seven Bonus Links, making each spin feel like part of an epic quest.
“We are committed to offering the best in gaming entertainment,” said Alex Rodriguez, Vice President of Slot Operations at Pechanga Resort Casino. “The CONCEPT cabinet and Legendary Sword slot machine bring incredible visual impact. We think our guests will love the new technology that brings all the elements of the game and the cabinet together.”

Attendees of the initial sessions noted positive anecdotal outcomes.
EPIC Global Solutions announced a new partnership with Underdog to further the sports gaming operator’s investment in responsible gaming education through a series of training and workshops.
As part of the partnership, customer-facing Underdog employees participated in gaming harm awareness sessions and VIP relationships workshops presented by EPIC staff, increasing Underdog staff’s ability to recognize potentially problematic gaming behaviors in their customers.
The sessions were led by consultants who shared their own experience of how different forms of gaming proved problematic in their lives, including former NCAA and NBA point guard Stevin ‘Hedake’ Smith and former boxer Liz Thielen, and provided Underdog staff the chance to explore the human side of harm through a gaming-neutral lens.
EPIC’s VP North America Teresa Fiore noted: “We’re very pleased with the positive start to our working relationship with Underdog. They have a deep understanding that responsible gaming practices must be at the core for any major operator, and it’s a constant and consistent process of learning and attentiveness. It’s clear from the session feedback that the responsible gaming message we share – influenced by the lived experience of our team – is making a difference to Underdog’s staff in a way that will further enhance their communication and customer relationships in a positive way.”
The training and workshops promoted business sustainability and customer protection by exploring communication techniques and best practices to foster healthy customer relationships.
“Partnering with EPIC has reinforced the culture of responsible gaming that we are building at Underdog,” said Adam Warrington, Vice President of Responsible Gaming at Underdog. “We look forward to furthering the understanding of responsible gaming within Underdog and continuing to participate in training sessions and workshops to deepen our player protection knowledge.”
Attendees noted positive anecdotal outcomes, such as learning ‘the nuances of messaging’ and how to ‘dive deeper to get to the bottom of what messaging could be problematic’ and taking the message of ‘direct experiences to help understand how people are impacted’.
