Budapest – 21 August 2018 – Over the last twelve months or so, the whole world has woken up to the phenomenon of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin’s sudden and dramatic increases or decreases in value have been in the headlines everywhere, but we must not forget that the blockchain technology behind it is the most interesting aspect for many.

As often quoted, blockchain would seem to be a perfect solution for the gambling industry in general and online gambling in particular. Especially since many millions of transactions carried out between players and gambling sites each day – both in terms of stakes being laid down and winnings being collected. If these can be made quickly and directly without the need for an intermediary such as a bank or a credit card company being involved, it would be good for both parties.

If we take a look at the player, the anonymity of the exchange, not to mention the speed, are both very appealing features. Plus, the low (and sometimes non-existent) fee is obviously good news for the online casino, which may be paying up to 5% to carry out some transactions, allowing it to plough more money into marketing, new games, or better jackpots.

We must also mention that the blockchain is such a secure method of payment is obviously very important at a time when data breaches and other security issues are very much on the increase. Due to its decentralised attributes, it makes it virtually impossible to alter any data – offering a protection against online fraud.

But where does this leave the regulator, who has to ensure the protection of the player and also contribute to the state’s budgets when it comes to a regulated market. Based on our data, nowhere. The regulators and legislators can’t keep up with it and this leaves a serious gap in the regulation of certain market when it comes to crypto gambling.

Cryptocurrency only appeals to a select few gambling operators. At the moment, the potential consequences of flouting money laundering regulations vastly outweigh the nice-to-have benefits of greater efficiency and security.

We are honored to announce Tomas Draksas is the Co-founder of Edgeless, as the latest speakers who will join the “Innovation Talks – Evolution of technology vs Gambling Regulators” panel discussion and share the insights of this new way of gambling.

Tomas Draksas is the Co-founder of Edgeless, Professional Poker Player & Gambler, who has been recently making waves in the crypto gambling industry. He will join Joakim Renman (Scout Gaming Group), Adriaan Brink (BetterBetting) and Domenico Mazzola (Altenar) in the panel discussion moderated by Dr. Joseph Borg (WH Partners)

Blueprint Gaming Combines Angling Excitement and Irish Folklore in Latest Title Plenty O’ Fish

Blueprint Gaming’s latest slot release tasks players to look for the leprechaun’s pot of gold under the water rather than at the end of the rainbow in Plenty O’ Fish, a 6×4 hybrid of sea creatures and shimmering rewards.

Players must look to unlock a tackle box of treasure with a jaunty leprechaun being the key to wins, lurking behind a dynamically coloured underwater background that changes when the bonus game is triggered.

Landing the leprechaun fisherman symbol triggers the Plenty O’ Fish collect feature, where players can reel in cash rewards or one of four exciting jackpots, selecting from major, mega, mini and minor.

Gold coins are also added to the treasure chest when a golden fish appears in view during the base game, with the chest able to close randomly and award a range of modifiers including free spins.

Free spins can also be triggered by landing three or more bonus symbols with instant upgrades awarded by landing gold coins, with any unused upgrades returned when the main game resumes.

Plenty O’ Fish adds further diversity to Blueprint Gaming’s catalogue of games, merging two popular themes to provide more content for all sectors of its growing player base.

“As we look to expand our portfolio, we combined proven themes to align fishing and Irish titles for Plenty O’ Fish; two of the most popular themes the slot sector has ever seen,” the Marketing and Relationships Director for Blueprint Gaming, Jo Purvis, said. “Adding a rich feature set to the crisp animation and catchy soundtrack means we’ve got another fantastic title in our tackle box.

“Players will love the ability to retrigger features, boosting excitement and rewards alongside the free spins to ensure the slot stands apart in a crowded market.”

Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has unleashed roaming wild re-spins and random guaranteed wins in Release the Bison.

Symbols of the American frontier abound in this 5×4 slot, where hitting four or more rampaging bison triggers the wild re-spin feature, during which all wilds roam the reels to boost win potential. If another wild lands on the re-spin, an additional re-spin is awarded and the total win multiplier increases by 1x. Any scatters that hit are also collected with at least three needed to trigger free spins.

In the base game, any non-winning spin is capable of randomly transforming into a win of 10x to 40x the total bet. And if three, four or five scatters hit, a wheel of fortune randomly awards up to 18 free spins with a 2x to 5x multiplier. Any wild symbol that lands during the bonus game stays on screen until the end of the round, roaming the reels with each free spin. Wilds are also collected in a meter, with additional free spins and increasing multipliers available from the fifth wild collected.

Release the Bison is the latest addition to Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning slots portfolio following recent releases Barnyard Megahays Megaways and Lobster Bob’s Sea Food and Win It.

“Pragmatic Play has delivered another thrilling game feature in Release the Bison with roaming wilds able to transform spins into a stampede of wins,” the Chief Operating Officer for Pragmatic Play, Irina Cornides, said.

Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new slot titles a month while also delivering live casino and bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
