In our company, each employee is a key figure, since the present and future of DS Virtual gaming depends on their actions. Every idea or thought is valuable, and motivation is an unshakable component of success. My colleagues know our success is impossible without their dedication and energy.

I enjoy this multidisciplinary task as it gives me a good overview of the entire business. What makes you stand out? There are many aspects that differentiate us from the competition.

DS Virtual Gaming uses a selection of over 20,000 videos of real races to create a realistic track-side experience. The RTP for DS Virtual Gaming’s products is between 88% and 96%. The pay-out rates cannot be manipulated. This guarantees satisfied long-term customers thanks to stable winnings. Players trust in our games and know they will not be swindled. Also, the fact that we are a small company gives us the possibility to respond to customers' requirements in no time. We treat our customers as our partners. Honesty and trust are the basis to our relationship. Because their success translates into our success.
What is your strategic outlook for 2022? First of all, we are very excited to announce the introduction of a new title around kickboxing that will set new standards in the area of martial arts in virtual sports. The second project we are envisaging is the new interpretation or rebirth of RacingHorses, with new video content in HD quality and fresh presentation. It is noteworthy mentioning the achievements of last year, as this year’s projects build on their completion. The harmonisation of the mobile and online solution was a big milestone in 2021. Moreover, we are developing new games that have no analogues in the industry and we believe they will be a new must-have for the operators. Our focus will remain the exploration and penetration of legal markets. Our next goals are the regulated markets in Europe, LatAm and Africa. We also look forward to meeting our industry peers at exhibitions and summits. The last two years were very challenging and we hope we can return to normality soon.
