Industry consultant Jari Vähänen, formerly a senior executive at Veikkaus, estimated the entire business could be valued at up to €4.5 billion following the liberalisation of the market.

Veikkaus is adjusting to a partial liberalisation of Finland’s gambling market under the new Gambling Act, which was ratified in January 2026. 

From July 2027, the company will lose exclusivity over betting and iCasino products, which will become licence-based, while retaining exclusive rights for lottery games, scratchcards, slot machines and physical table games. 

What is Primal Spirits?

They connect four Instant Bonus tiers, Hold & Spin and two wheel-driven Bonus Spins modes, giving the game one consistent trigger throughout, while persistent multipliers make progression visible inside Bonus Spins and Super Bonus Spins. GO Ultra is the step up. Activating it removes standard Bonus Spins from the feature pool and introduces Super Duper Bonus Spins, with Coins concentrated on fewer reels and multipliers that grow in larger increments. The commercial hook sells itself on screen: Frank, the gnome gang over the fence, and a suburban garden turned battlefield. The game carries high volatility, with RTP configurations, exposure figures and other sensitive values retained in the internal fact sheet.
