Gaming industry legal research group Gambling Compliance has reported that two more senior employees at Swedish gambling monopoly Svenska Spel have resigned in what appears to be a protest against a move away from competitiveness towards a more restrictive gaming model.
The move comes on the heels of the abdication of CEO Jesper Kärrbrink over irreconcilable management disagreements.
Elsewhere, GamingIntelligenceGroup.com today reports that Svenska Spel is threatening to sue UK-bookmaking giant Ladbrokes over an advertising campaign in Sweden promoting “Swedish Games, English Odds.”
Swedish Games is a literal translation of Svenska Spel. The Swedish monopoly claims Ladbrokes is infringing it’s copyright by using its name and typeface in the ads.
