Ezugi is making headlines with both bold product innovation and a major leadership update. The studio has recently rolled out two inventive titles—Imperial Fortune and Manga Madness—while confirming that Gilad Ben-Ami has stepped up as Chief Executive Officer after years of serving as COO.
These developments reflect the company’s growing determination to expand beyond the staples of live dealer casino play. With a strengthened executive team and fresh games blending arcade-style mechanics with live entertainment, Ezugi is charting an ambitious new course.
Fresh Games Push Boundaries
One of the latest highlights is Imperial Fortune, a live casino title modeled on the iconic Coin Pusher arcade machine. This game brings together nostalgia and modern play through features such as multipliers of up to 50x, a constant coin cannon to keep energy levels high, and a Bonus Wheel that extends play opportunities. Designed for smooth performance on different devices, it shows how Ezugi is reworking familiar concepts into dynamic live formats.
Just weeks later came Manga Madness, which reimagines roulette with a Japanese anime aesthetic. The title introduces an autonomous claw mechanism that adds tension to every spin, offering players suspense and variety. Marketed with the tagline “Roulette reimagined. Entertainment redefined,” it demonstrates Ezugi’s appetite for blending pop culture and casino gaming.
Earlier in the year, Ezugi also released EZ Marble Race Monaco, another sign of its willingness to experiment. This hybrid title combines RNG-certified outcomes with cinematic marble races staged on Monte Carlo-style tracks, featuring five competing marbles in each race. By combining digital unpredictability with visual flair, Ezugi has stretched the definition of live casino content.
A New CEO Takes the Helm
The backdrop to these product launches is the promotion of Gilad Ben-Ami to CEO. He has been with Ezugi since 2017, managing global operations as Chief Operating Officer. His professional history includes co-founding EasyCrypt, a startup dedicated to encrypted communication, and leading development at VibeSec. He also served as COO and VP of R&D at Gamesmart, where he managed international teams across Israel, China, the Philippines, Romania, and Brazil.
Speaking about his new role, Ben-Ami said: “Stepping into the role of CEO at Ezugi feels like being entrusted with something very special. Little did I know where the journey would lead when I started eight years ago, helping to build Ezugi presence in Romania, with a small team working hard to make an impact. Fast forward to today, it has been an amazing journey to be part of, and I would like to thank all my colleagues – past and present – who contributed to our success.”
His technical background in security and his years of operational leadership align with Ezugi’s current phase of expansion, positioning him to steer the company through this innovative period.
Global Reach and Continued Growth
Since its founding in 2012, Ezugi has built a portfolio that started with classic live games such as roulette and blackjack. Today, the company runs 12 studios worldwide, offers around 20 titles, and collaborates with more than 200 regulated operators.
Its international credibility is backed by licenses from respected regulators in jurisdictions including the UK, Malta, Spain, Italy, and New Jersey. Since becoming part of the Evolution Group in 2018, Ezugi has only strengthened its ability to deliver both compliance and creativity on a global scale.
By pairing a leadership transition with imaginative new releases, Ezugi is signaling its intention to remain at the forefront of live casino entertainment. With Imperial Fortune and Manga Madness redefining what players can expect, the company continues to merge inventive gameplay with solid operational foundations.
