ESA Gaming adds Josefin Uppeke as head of game production

Uppeke boasts more than eight years in the industry and joins ESA Gaming from Lucksome, where she was head of creative and game design. Prior to that, she worked at major igaming content creators Yggdrasil and NetEnt.

She will be responsible for expanding ESA Gaming’s portfolio of EasySwipe titles as well as rolling out a new collection of mobile slots and crash games. A total of 12 titles are expected to be released by the studio in 2023, including additions to its popular Mine series. 

The appointment marks another strong step forward for ESA Gaming, which has enjoyed strong commercial growth in recent months.

With a stellar resume and a proven track record of delivering market-leading content in her previous roles, we’re confident that she’ll be a key cog in our team moving forward.”

“With plenty of new markets entered and the potential of its EasySwipe portfolio evident across regulated territories, I’m eager to get started and play my part in producing fantastic games for players to enjoy.”
