How Brexit is Affecting Gaming Companies in the UK Gaming IndustryReading Time: 2 minutes

 

The UK gaming industry has contributed £2 billion annually to the UK’s GDP. Creative, high-tech and fast-growing, it yields high profits on exports. It competes with the AI industry for the best technological talent. It produces global gaming hits. ‘Grand Theft Auto’, Farm Hero Saga, Lego and Batman are UK gaming industry products. The industry would have expanded with the onset of 5G games. Then the UK voted for Brexit.

The Brexit Factor
It’s feared that Brexit will drive up industry costs, hindering progress. The planners of Brexit industrial strategy ignored the UK gaming industry. A report by an industry campaign group ‘Games for EU’ brings grim news. It says a hard Brexit or even a ‘no deal Brexit’ will jeopardise the industry. Here are some reasons:

  • The UK gaming industry workforce consists of 30%EU nationals. Brexit ends free UK entry for EU nationals. UK companies had access to the most talented European gaming professionals. Post-Brexit, it becomes very expensive to bring EU nationals into the UK. Larger companies may absorb the cost. Small companies can’t do that leading to the somber truth that some may close owing to higher costs.
  • A no-deal Brexit could block UK’s access to streaming and phone services. A negotiated Brexit could bring new data rules with extra costs.
  • Industry products will now be subject to tariffs and VAT on imports and exports. So, it will be less profitable to work in the UK.
  • British gaming entrepreneurs will no longer have access to EU startup grants. This will impede their growth.

What’s Next?
Once Brexit goes through, bigger companies may absorb the higher costs. Small companies may not. Hopefully, the casino industry will survive. With reduced profits, companies must find new strategies. UK operators may enter the US market. Some companies may consider relocation to gambling hubs like Malta. but this is an expensive option. We must wait to see what the future holds.

Kongebonus statement: Norway’s election result signals gambling policy continuity, but licensing debate is set to intensify

Published

Reading Time: < 1 minute

With the centre-left retaining a narrow majority, Norway’s gambling framework is set to remain largely unchanged in the near term.

Norsk Tipping’s monopoly will continue, and enforcement tools such as payment and DNS blocking of unregulated operators are likely to remain in focus. While a shift to a licensing model appears unlikely this parliamentary term, the Progress Party’s stronger position as the main opposition keeps the reform debate active.

For industry stakeholders, the sensible course is to concentrate on compliant, sustainable strategies and to track policy signals closely as the debate continues.

Step into the heart of the untamed frontier in Bison Moon – Power Combo, a slot from Northern Lights Gaming that captures the rugged beauty and boundless thrill of the Great Plains with plenty of big wins in store.

This action-packed slot introduces the provider’s latest mechanic, Power Combo, where three unique Scatters unlock incredible bonus features via its proprietary Link&Win feature. Players also get to experience the thrill of Expanding Reels for even more wild slotting action.

Players will feel the rush as Multipliers super-charge their payouts, amping up the excitement each time they hit. They can also seize the moment with Instant Collect, allowing them to claim big rewards as and when they drop.

But with each Scatter triggering a new layer of action, no two spins are ever the same.

Adding to the excitement is the Jackpot feature, which has been embedded within the Link&Win bonus. Players must land Jackpot Moons to trigger either Mini or Major Jackpot wins or fill the reels to unlock the Grand Jackpot and the game’s largest payouts.

For the boldest of adventurers, keep watch for the Scatters that turn into Golden Eagles. Collect five in total, and they can activate the Golden Eagle Pick’Em bonus.

From the serene beauty of the open plains to the heart-pounding moments of chasing down the Jackpots and Golden Eagles, Bison Moon Power Combo provides a slotting experience like no other.

All that players need to do to enjoy it is saddle up, embrace the wild and discover the riches waiting to be uncovered under the vast Western skies.

Chris Loftus, Commercial Director, at Northern Lights Gaming, said: “Bison Moon – Power Combo lets players take a walk on the reel wild side as they come face to face with magnificent beasts, big bonuses and plenty of slot playing action.

“Power Combo is a thrilling bonus that changes the game with every spin, and we really couldn’t think of a better game to introduce it to players. This, combined with Link&Win and plenty of jackpots to trigger, makes Bison Moon a compelling and rewarding slot to play.
