About Flowers

The company committed to a management reshuffle late last year as part of this transition, scrapping the role of deputy CEO after Velipekka Nummikoski was shuffled into a new role.

The operator has made a number of key operational and technology changes during this process, including switching its sportsbook backend from DraftKings to OpenBet. And hiring a number of industry stalwards to lead its competitive business.

Former Scientific Games veteran Chris Armes was appointed as the new executive VP of Gaming Technologies in early August. Armes is set to take up his new role in the autumn of 2026, leading Veikkaus’ technology organisation from its Helsinki headquarters. 

About Flowers

Another bettor noted that gambling debts fractured personal relationships: “Sports betting ruined my six years of friendship because I couldn’t pay back the borrowed loan from my friend. He stopped talking to me.”

Americans wagered nearly $167 billion on sports in 2025 through regulated sportsbooks, an 11% increase year-over-year, according to data from the American Gaming Association (AGA).

The blurring line between financial investing and gambling has been accelerated by the rise of prediction markets—exchanges offering event contracts that are federally regulated as financial derivatives. U.S. News found that over 40% of active sports bettors now also participate in sports prediction markets.

What is Flowers?

The Coin also does more than open features. Six Coins open Hold & Spin with three Re-Spins, where Coins are the only symbols that can land. In that mode they lock into place, reset the respin counter with each new landing, and pay out their collected values when the respins run out. It’s a familiar Hold & Win framework kept intact rather than reinvented.

Players give up the standard mode to access a higher-variance version with steeper multiplier growth

The optional GO Ultra layer is where the release differentiates itself from a routine Hold & Spin title. 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.
