Interpol nabs illegal gambling network in Asia

Published

on

Interpol, Lyon-based international police agency, has cracked down organised crime networks engaged in illegal gambling across Asia during the Football World Cup in Russia. The agency has seised more than 1.7 million U.S. dollars and arrested hundreds of suspects.

The agency has conducted more than 14,900 raids at illegal gambling dens across China, including Hong Kong and Macao, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore, where an estimated 1.6 billion U.S. dollars-worth of bets were handled.

Between June 22 and July 16, more than 1.7 million U.S. dollars in cash was seised, in addition to 1000 computers and mobile phones which are being analysed in the ongoing investigation.

“With the Hong Kong Police Force alone seizing betting slips worth 16.8 million U.S. dollars, Operation SOGA VII owes its success largely to the power of global and regional police cooperation through Interpol,” said Tat-Shing Man, Interpol’s the chairman of the Asia-Pacific expert group on organised crime.

“Participating jurisdictions made the most of our solid collective experience of six previous SOGA operations which enabled us to clearly anticipate links between Asian betting syndicates and their illegal counterparts operating beyond Asia’s borders during the World Cup,” he added.

So far, Interpol’s soccer gambling operations have led to the arrest of 30,000 suspects and the seizure of about 57 million U.S. dollars in cash, in addition to the closure of more than 3700 illegal gambling dens which handled almost 8 billion U.S. dollars worth of bets.

Swintt unleashes the power of the Parthenon in Olympus Wilds

Sought-after software provider’s new Greek mythology-inspired slot sees players summon Floating Wilds that can send their winnings soaring on any given spin

Get ready to step into the Athenian Acropolis and take your place alongside the mighty gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece in Olympus Wilds – the brand-new SwinttSelect slot where unique Floating Wilds can set players payouts soaring for sky-high wins.

Set to a backdrop of the majestic Parthenon, Olympus Wilds is a five-reel, 20-payline title that features the likenesses of Zeus, Ares, Artemis, Athena and Poseidon as its higher-value symbols. Packed with exhilarating bonuses, the game boasts a maximum jackpot of 8,000x the selected bet and includes a Buy Feature button that gives players easy access to its main Free Spins round.

In both the Free Spins and the base game, the key to unlocking Olympus Wilds’ most divine payouts comes courtesy of a unique Floating Wilds mechanic.

Triggered whenever two or more wild symbols appear during a single spin, these icons will ascend from the reels before coming down again in random positions to create additional paylines as a free re spin is triggered.

Should any additional wilds appear during this re spin, this powerful feature will be repeated for even greater potential prizes – and if this happens to occur during the Free Spins, all winnings will also benefit from a progressive multiplier that can boost players’ payouts by a maximum of 10x!

As an added gift from the gods, this progressive multiplier is also present during the game’s second feature, which is a Hold & Win bonus similar to those found in other Swintt titles. Activated whenever five or more coin symbols stop in view, players will initially be granted three re spins to collect further prizes, with the counter resetting whenever a new coin symbol appears.

Not only that, but for each subsequent coin collected, the progressive multiplier will increase by one, with this being applied to the value of all prizes once the reels have been completely filled or no new coins appear and the player is returned to the base game with their collected winnings.

David Mann, Chief Executive Officer at Swintt, said: “This month, Swintt is inviting players to explore the intriguing world of Greek mythology and claim divine riches worthy of the gods themselves in Olympus Wilds. A medium-high volatility slot with a maximum jackpot of 8,000x, Olympus Wilds introduces a new Floating Wilds mechanic that can turn any spin into a big winner – particularly during Free Spins, where potentially monumental multipliers are also up for grabs!”
