SiGMA Malta Philharmonic Flash Mob

The world has seen Crazy Uptown Funk flash mobs, Thriller flash mobs, and Frozen Grand Central flash mobs. But have you ever seen a National Orchestra flash mob? For the launch of SiGMA, one of Europe’s biggest iGaming events, Wazdan staged a spectacular flash mob with the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra to call attention to Maltese culture for City of Culture Valletta 2018 and Wazdan’s own creativity as a major games producer with products covering slots, table games and video poker as well as launching the world’s-first realtime in-game ‘Volatility Level Control’.

Professional dancers dressed in traditional Maltese costumes helped to make the event even more fun for the packed crowds, igaming people, businesses, government representatives, regulators, affiliates and press. Wazdan have over 100 HTML5 casino games full of innovative, industry-first features licensed in Malta, Curacao and soon the UK.

More than 60 people were involved in the Wazdan flash mob choreographed to the rhythm of Maltese composer
Charles Camilleri’s “Malta Suite Waltz,” and inviting the crowd to join the dance and the wider move towards
European City of Culture 2018 in Malta. The performance was choreographed and produced by Marcus Ward at
Ogilvy Malta.

Wazdan are present with their stand at B138 showcasing the games that are building real traffic, displaying features that include a world-first real-time in-game ‘Volatility Level control’ and seeking partnership opportunities with operators looking to enhance their content offering. Wazdan’s popular portfolio includes titles such as Magic Target Deluxe, Valhalla and Wild Guns. Delegates will also be able to see demos of upcoming titles Los Muertos, Mayan Ritual and Captain Flynt, among others.

Visitors to stand B138 could win one of three wonderful pre-release bottles of Malta’s most exclusive malt whisky
Penderyn, matured in Maltese wine casks, again demonstrating the range of craft skills available in Malta.

 

Jeremy Fall, Head of Marketing at Wazdan said: “David Mann our Sales Manager had promised a surprise for all the delegates at SiGMA, we are delighted with the response to our flash mob and hope it helps get more publicity for V18 around the world. Delegates can drop into our stand and have a chance to win one of the three wonderful bottles of Limited Edition whisky. It’s a unique “Maltese” whisky and very exclusive. We look forward to welcoming visitors to our stand B138 and to showcasing our games and explaining what they can deliver for operators.”

Power affiliate QiH Group rebrands to Quantum to reflect ambitious diversification strategy

The tech powerhouse has a new website, name and branding that are set to take the affiliate marketing company into the next 10 years.

Quantum International Holdings, the affiliate formerly known across the tech, sports, iGaming betting industries as QiH Group has launched its official rebrand to Quantum. With a new-look website, logo and assets, the company has chosen the pared down name to reflect the strategic direction it will be taking, starting in 2026.

Speaking about the change, Quantum CEO Jamie Walters said: “I’m incredibly proud and excited to share the next chapter in our journey: the evolution of QiH into Quantum. For over a decade, QiH has been our foundation, a story of success, growth and innovation in iGaming. But the world – especially digitally – moves fast, and so do we.

“‘Quantum’ was already in our name, so we’ve simplified and streamlined, and it now represents the next version of who we are and where we’re going. A rebrand is about a lot more than a new logo, colours and identity – we’ve also evolved our mindset, ambition and of course, our strategic direction.

Walters continues: “Over the past few months, the Quantum team has worked tirelessly to get to this exciting new stage for our growth. We’re building on everything that has already made QiH Group so brilliant – our talent, creativity, and data-driven approach – and supercharging it to perform on the biggest global stage.

“Our vision is simple: to expand our affiliate marketing roots to become the world’s most-used digital comparison service, delivering simplicity and value to millions of users around the globe.”

Tom Murch, creative director at Quantum, shared: “The rebrand brief was simple: evolution. This wasn’t just about a new identity, it was about building on a decade of growth and turning momentum into acceleration. Quantum is the brave new chapter in our story, a brand, a strategy, a mindset, and a framework for high performance culture at scale and where elite talent can really thrive.”

The story so far

QiH Group was launched in London in 2014 to address a gap in the iGaming affiliate market for smart, digital-first, data-focused affiliate partnerships for iGaming operators.

The company has seen a host of accolades, such as:

  • Moving from 21st to 15th on EGR Global’s Power Affiliates list in 2025

  • Growing from five initial employees to 60 now

  • Hiring an experienced C-suite of talent, including a CFO, CMO and CTO and promoting internally for their COO

  • Building our entire tech team from outsourced to a fully in-house, tech capability, expanding the team from 0 to 14 employees this year

  • Shortlisted for eight major awards in iGaming, from Employer of the Year to Affiliate of the Year

  • Fostering years-long relationships with Tier 1 operators

“2026 and beyond are going to be incredibly exciting times for Quantum, and we’re so pleased to be bringing a new look, simplified name and a honed strategic direction and operational delivery for our clients – and of course, an environment where our talented and ambitious team can thrive,” says Walters.

Casino Guru will continue to guide players toward better and fairer gaming experiences, and we are honored to receive this award.”

Casino Guru has repeatedly delivered one of the most comprehensive services in helping inform player opinion.

Casino Guru has also served as a trustworthy mediator in disputes between players and casinos, having returned more than $52m in player funds through the Complaint Resolution Center, and making sure it offers a comprehensive service that goes beyond its meticulous reviewing process.

To help quantify the data points Casino Guru leverages to make decisions about what casinos are worthwhile, the company has developed the bespoke Safety Index metric, which gauges a casino offer based on player-specific preferences, overall fairness, and industry standards, and assigns a rating that players can trust.
