SOFTSWISS’s CTO gets candid on AI hype, Tech Race and why the room matters more than the stage.

In July, iGB announced the media partnership between SOFTSWISS and World Gaming for Tech Race Summit 2026 in September.

Recently, Margaret Dunn, portfolio director at WorldGaming, interviewed Sergey Kastukevich, chief technology officer at SOFTSWISS, in a primer of both Tech Race and ICE Hall 7. The pair also shared their perspective on the development of AI in the industry.

Thunder Walker is best read as evidence of REEVO’s content strategy rather than as a landmark launch. The studio is producing recognizable, theme-led slots and pushing them through its own distribution platform to its operator network. The game is now live through the REEVO platform, making it available to the company’s operator partners and their players.

Greek mythology remains one of the most durable and repeatedly mined themes in slot development. Zeus, Olympus and storm imagery give studios instant visual shorthand and reliable player recognition, which is precisely why developers keep returning to it. REEVO going back to that well signals a preference for proven commercial territory over riskier concepts, at least in this part of its roadmap.

This is a mainstream release designed to fit widely rather than to stand out

There have been many uplifting elements to writing about poker through a global pandemic, as odd as those words must feel to read and certainly are to write. From inspirational quotes to motivate players who are just joining or continue to love the game to what could help players turn pro as an alternative to more difficult careers to sustain (they do exist!), it has genuinely been a job I have treasured and I hope you have enjoyed the content that I and the incredible Calvin Ayre content team have been able to bring you during the past 18 months or so.  

Bringing you series of articles such as Poker on Screen and Poker in Print has been a massive source of pride for myself and the team and I even got the chance to discuss poker in the movies and on television on the recent episode of the award-winning podcast, The Chip Race.  

As ever, I am indebted to too many people to mention, but Derek, Bill, Jasmine and every one of the Calvin Ayre team, as well as Calvin himself of course, have all shown a lot of faith in me to carry the torch and I hope I’ve done them all credit.
