About Blue Diamond
1spin4win has timed a new beer-festival slot, Welcome to Octoberfest, to land alongside the real-world Oktoberfest season. It extends a recurring theme the studio comes back to each year.
The significance here is less about the individual game than about what it confirms. 1spin4win is running a deliberate, calendar-driven release model, not treating seasonal themes as one-off novelties.
Seasonal releases are an important part of the studio’s content strategy. 1spin4win regularly builds games inspired by international celebrations, among them Christmas, New Year, St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Halloween, and Oktoberfest.
What is Blue Diamond?
The latest round of changes, announced on Wednesday, includes 15 existing roles being terminating, and 17 new positions established. These will impact several of its units, including the Data & AI department, two business units and finance teams.
Negotiations around terminations and the newly established roles are expected to last approximately three weeks.
These internal changes form part of wider organisational shifts following Veikkaus’ May 2026 decision to establish two subsidiaries: one dedicated to exclusive operations and another for the newly competitive, licence-based market.
How to play Blue Diamond
“Where we’ll revisit the targets at the full-year results, I think that will probably be the logical time to more explicitly factor Brazil into any revised targets we might potentially issue at that point in time. But I think that should only enhance how the business is currently doing and frankly, enhance probably what the current market expectations are for the group in the years ahead.”
The ongoing dispute between Evolution and Playtech continues to rumble on.
Playtech commissioned intelligence firm Black Cube to investigate Evolution’s activities in 2020, with the resulting dossier alleging Evolution supplied games into banned and sanctioned markets.
