Reading Time: 5 minutes

 

Highly informative panel discussion about the Ukrainian gambling industry has been added to the agenda at European Gaming Congress VE (Virtual Edition).

Little over 2 months ago, the Ukrainian gambling industry had a landmark moment for both the international betting industry and for liberalizing the economy.

We’re currently seeing history in the making. In short, the Ukrainian gambling industry is coming back. While gambling peaked at almost $1.4 billion in revenue in 2008, the state monopolized the market into lotteries in 2009, making it the only legal form of gambling – and prohibiting anything else” were the words of Vladimir Malakchi, CBDO at Evoplay Entertainment, in a recent interview (read in full here)

Ukraine’s new gambling legislation would allow the functioning of ground casinos in five-star hotels in the capital city of Kyiv and four-star hotels in regions. The license fee for Kyiv would be $ 2 million for hotels with a capacity of more than 150 rooms and $ 1 million for hotels with a capacity of over 100 rooms but less than 150 rooms.

All-star hotels above three stars can host slot machine facility. The license fee for slot machines would be $ 250000 and $ 100 per month for each slot machine. The facilities can use 50-250 machines with a single license.

Online casinos too will be permitted. The license fee would be $ 230000 or $ 1.150 million for 5 years for one website.

Both online and offline bookmaking activities also will get the nod. The license will cost $ 1 million a year plus $ 500 per month.

As with every newly regulated market, there is information that needs to be digested and this is why we have decided to include a special dedicated panel about the Ukrainian gambling industry at the upcoming European Gaming Congress.

The virtual edition of European Gaming Congress 2020 is taking place between 6-7 October and gathers top names of the gaming industry who will present their insights to create Europe’s largest gaming compliance gathering.

TaDa Gaming Releases 10 Sparkling Crown

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Leading content provider, TaDa Gaming, is offering palatial style play in new slot release 10 Sparkling Crown. A randomly triggered Jackpot Poker game puts serious dazzle power in players’ hands with special win multipliers applied to the four individual jackpots.

With Expanding Wilds and solid gold Scatters giving multipliers up to 100x the bet, the five reels, three rows and 10 fixed paylines game offers royal win potential with 10,000x max.

Wild Crowns appear on reels two, three and four only and will vertically expand to cover the reel when they hit a prize, turning all positions wild. Gold dollar sign Scatters can appear on all reels. Three, four or five scatters will award multipliers of 5x, 20x or 100x the bet, respectively.

With a fruit salad of symbols alongside Lucky 7s and Golden Bells rolling down the reels and a soundtrack worthy of royalty, the wins can come thick and fast in this mid volatility game.

The randomly triggered bonus Jackpot Poker game injects another layer of excitement into 10 Sparkling Crown. The Club jackpot is equal to 5x the bet; Diamonds gives 20x; Hearts, 50x and the Spades can deliver a game-changing 1000x the bet value. The four suits sit in order at the top of the screen, each showing a jackpot value which could be a whopping €200,000 for Spades.

The bonus game can trigger once a round has completed and all wins collected. Players will see 15 face down cards appear on the screen: select cards by clicking until three matching card suits from Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts or Spades have been revealed which will trigger the corresponding jackpot.

To further ramp up gameplay, there are potentially two types of special cards in the selection that will impact the win value: the Club Deleting Card and the Multiplier Card.

The card showing a Club with a strikethrough image is the Club Deleting Card which removes all the low value Clubs. The Multiplier card brings 2x or 5x the win value and, if both cards appear in the same selection, then the multiplier values are multiplied so the win is then uplifted by 10x.

When three matching card suits are revealed, the corresponding Jackpot Poker Game value is awarded. However, if players take more than five seconds to choose from the face down cards, these will randomly flip themselves over through auto selection.

With a wide betting range from 0.02 to 200 local currency to appeal to all player styles; and turbo play for those who love speed, 10 Sparkling Crown is a beautiful game that delivers big win potential in an easy to play slot with benefits.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “10 Sparkling Crown mixes different bonus games and features in a classic fruit slot. This is both enduringly popular with players and a TaDa signature, adding value to TaDa’s exciting and diverse portfolio.”
