Kindred Enables Pioneering Gambling Education Sessions for Rangers FC Players in Scotland

Kindred will fund independent, groundbreaking gambling education sessions designed specifically for players and staff at Rangers FC in Scotland. The sessions will be led by EPIC Risk Management, a safer gambling consultancy that works with clubs, leagues and federations around the world.

Kindred Group plc (Kindred) marks this year ten years of collaboration between Kindred and the Scottish football-team Rangers FC. This year, Kindred has dedicated its front-of-shirt sponsorship to its “Zero % Mission” which is a part of the Group’s ambition Journey towards Zero. The ambition’s stated aim is that over time, zero percent of the revenue should be generated from harmful gambling. It also marks the next step in driving towards a better model of sponsorship that benefits sporting organisations and their communities.

The cooperation is the first time a club in the Scottish Premiership works with an organisation such as EPIC to provide independent gambling guidance to their employees and follows EPIC’s work in the English Football League and other leagues across the world. The education sessions will be bespoke, tailored to individual needs, featuring insights from former football players who have experienced gambling-related issues, including some who have played at international level.

“Kindred wants to run a sustainable business built on people enjoying themselves safely. That’s why we have reaffirmed our commitment not only to this project with Rangers, but to our ‘Journey towards Zero’ too. Added to that, we are investing in our technology stack to further develop our sophisticated detection software. This, allied with a greater emphasis on education and safer gambling messaging will help Kindred drive forward its industry-leading model of sponsorship that is benefitting clubs and their communities,” Sam Mead, UK General Manager at Kindred Group, said.

“We realise the importance of safeguarding our players and staff and allowing them to discuss issues relating to the sector in a welcoming and understanding environment. That the sessions are led by former football players is a big advantage, going beyond discussing the rule book and adding that key element of relatability. We’re grateful to Kindred – with whom we have a positive, long-term relationship – for funding the sessions that are helping us lead the way in Scotland on this matter,” Karim Virani, Chief Commercial Officer at Rangers FC, said.

“Education is at the heart of EPIC’s offering, underpinned by real-life experiences from those who have lived experience of gambling-related harm. We recognise the importance of the sector to the UK’s leisure industry, and we’re dedicated to providing a bespoke, holistic service that allows participants to share and discuss matters in a safe way. We’re delighted that Rangers are the latest high-profile football club to recognise the importance of protecting their players and staff through preventative education,” Michelle Evans, Senior Sports Partnerships Manager at EPIC Risk Management, said.

ICE Barcelona: Spintec makes waves with a lineup of fantastic new products

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Spintec’s show at this year’s ICE was full of pleasant surprises and fun experiences. They showcased their latest achievements in cooperation with their strategic partner Merkur within a booth that was spreading across 2,500 m2 and was one of the largest at the show.

Their new oval and eye shaped variations of their flagship Charisma made the largest splash. These sleek designs are extremely attractive and offer an unobstructed view of the wheel to all ten or twelve players. They are also immersive and fun with two additional large monitors showing bets placed by all ten or twelve players in real time. Isn’t it fun to see what everyone is betting on and which numbers are most popular? The oval and eye shaped Charisma also feature a particularly impressive bespoke topper with real-time game statistics and promotion, inviting players to join the excitement from across the casino floor.

Visitors at Spintec’s booth also enjoyed the fun of the new, fully GLI certified flagship game called Galactic Spin. It is designed to enhance and deepen the engagement in the game and offers the possibility of large payouts on top of the normal roulette hold. And the best part? The game offers three additional draws with bet multipliers, three tiers of Jackpots, and super fun free spins. These take place after the bets are closed, making the tension-filled pause before the ball drops the most thrilling part of the game.

Spintec’s new Craps extension to the Charisma line was one of the greatest showstoppers at their booth this year. Apart from the proprietary solution that prevents dice from landing on top of each other, the game now also includes a fun new shoot button. This is a great game feature where the shooter is selected clockwise among play stations or following live game rules, continuing until a 7-out or point is hit. The players enjoy this feature immensely and their engagement with the game skyrockets when they are selected as the shooter. The solution comes complete with a vibrant animated topper and LED lighting and can be adapted to four, six or eight play stations.

Spintec also created an exciting casino atmosphere right at the show with a live tournament featuring several different games, including Galactic spin and live roulette. The Charisma line, arranged in an amphitheatre setup like that, can feature live, automated, and virtual games, accommodating over 200 players with a full selection of games and endless entertainment.

Spintec’s flagship Charisma solution with five playing stations is as adaptive as they come and can feature a host of different games. It was possible to experience a virtual Blackjack solution at the show, but also a fantastic new addition: the virtual Baccarat.

And finally, Spintec garnered a lot of interest with their latest set of Charisma stand-alone virtual machines for individual players. These can be used in a single or multigame setting, where the player can choose the game they want to participate in from a wide selection of virtual, automated or live games. This makes it one of Spintec’s most versatile products, which now comes in four different attractive formats. The games are played on the touch screen with an intuitive interface, while the player can immerse themselves in the games with the help of additional single 43” monitor, or a combination of one, two or even three 27” ones.

Key Features of Million Plinko

  • Customisable Rows: Players can choose between 8 to 16 rows, increasing the complexity and excitement of the ball’s path.
  • Risk Levels: Adjustable volatility levels – low, medium, or high – allow players to tailor the game to their preferred risk and reward balance.
  • Auto Bet: The Auto Bet feature offers hands-free gameplay, automatically placing bets and dropping balls at timed intervals for uninterrupted entertainment.
  • Exciting Payouts: The game’s design rewards both casual and risk-taking players, with the potential for massive multiplier wins on the edges of the pyramid.

Million Plinko also emphasises player strategy, encouraging careful bankroll management to navigate the game’s variance and seize winning opportunities.

A Game for Everyone

Million Games continues its mission to innovate within the iGaming industry, providing accessible, high-quality and engaging entertainment to all casino game lovers.
