ST. JULIANS, Malta, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hero Gaming, an iGaming operator with close to 150 employees, earlier this month held an "Innovation Challenge" designed to inject new technology and ideas to keep the company at the top of the industry.
The "Shark Tank-like" pitch challenge, which was launched internally via a virtual townhall hero meeting and hosted through a zoom conference, was designed by Marie Theobald, Chief People Officer, and Andrea Saliba, Head of Talent & Organizational Development of Hero Gaming.
The contest elicited eight workable ideas, including add-ons and segmentation automation, meant to make the iGaming playing experience more enjoyable. The three finalists were announced during the Company's trip to Marbella. The innovation platform created by Hero Gaming offered a cash prize to the idea best suited for follow through to development by the company. The finalists then presented their ideas to the rest of the organization.
"The iGaming industry is dynamic where talented individuals can learn on the job and move up in ranks very quickly," said Saliba. "This contest was meant to encourage ambitious and creative minds that have the potential to take the company to the next level."
This initiative did not only create a platform to share ideas and boost creativity and innovation, but it also served as a great team building exercise as teams were composed of individuals from different departments within the organization which enabled participants to collaborate with new team members and build stronger relationships with them.
The judges were Georg Westin, Founder & Chairman of the Board of Hero Gaming, Tomas Backman, former CEO, Karin Fahl Hallberg, Head of HR and Sasha Koshlo, Head of Frontend Development.
"At Hero Gaming we are always looking for ways to improve the playing experience," said Westin.

This event is a function of that mindset, but we are always innovative and reward those coworkers who excel at new ideas."
