Prior to his new post, Mr. Cook spent two years at Parlay Entertainment Inc. as European managing director. He also served as European managing director for Tribeca Tables Europe Limited and general manager at Sega Europe.
“Steve joining us is part of our expansion plans to become the dominant player in the platform and services sector,” said Staffan Lindgren, chief executive of NYX Interactive, in a prepared statement.

NOW LIVE After a series of partnership announcements for the multiplayer dice games network, including ones with Bwin Interactive Entertainment A.G., Gala Coral Group and Ålands Penningautomatforening, or PAF, Jadestone Networks announced on Tuesday that DiceArena is now live.
The Nordic online operator announced the network back in September, and now the network is open to players across Europe.
The company said in a statement that PAF was the first partner to complete the integration process with the dice network already live on its Web site. The other partners are expected to have DiceArena live during the next few days, said Jadestone.

“It’s with immense pleasure that we now officially inaugurate the DiceArena Network,” said Robert Henrysson, chief executive of Jadestone. “This has been a great team effort by the whole company, from development to integration, operations and marketing.”
