Mr Green hires new head of live casino

Mr Green has appointed Jacqui Gatt as its new head of live casino to oversee a host of changes to the vertical planned for 2018.

Gatt joined the Swedish operator on 12 February from LeoVegas, where she was also responsible for live casino operations in the same role.

Gatt has worked in the gambling industry for the last 14 years, starting out as a dealer at Dragonara Casino in Malta before moving to online roles with Bally Technologies and Betsafe.

Her responsibilities at Mr Green include working with suppliers to enhance the firm’s live casino offering and developing the vertical throughout the year to “provide a superior gaming experience”.

“I am very proud of what I, together with the casino team achieved at LeoVegas in the past couple of years, but ultimately, I felt that I needed a new challenge and Mr Green felt like the natural choice,” Gatt told EGR.

“With stronger focus on the live casino product planned for 2018, I feel like its perfect timing to join Mr Green,” she added.

Mr Green recently announced the first in a number of planned changes to its live casino product by partnering with NetEnt to launch a digitally enhanced live casino product, Live Beyond Live.

The product hopes to build on NetEnt’s traditional live casino offering by integrating multiple tables and dealers onto a virtual background.

“I’m excited about the pace in which live casino is growing,” said Gatt.

“With the quality of the live casino product on mobile improving drastically in the past few years, operators are now able to offer a great product to players across all devices” she added.
