Scientific Games Corporation has entered into a new contract with the Dutch National Lottery Nederlandse Loterij.

The deal will see Scientific Games provide its instant game “scratch cards” to the Lottery for a period of four years through the Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP), a performance-driven management programme used by more than 20 lotteries globally. The agreement may be extended by Lottery for up to four additional years.

“After a decade of work refining our successful partnership, we are pleased to continue our collaboration with Scientific Games. While this announcement comes during a challenging global situation, we are confident our ongoing collaboration will continue our responsible growth trajectory of the instant ticket business for Nederlandse Loterij to provide maximum transfers to our beneficiaries,” Raffaele Fiorini, business director for Nederlandse Loterij’s instant tickets, said.

Scientific Games has supplied Nederlandse Loterij with scratch cards since 1994, moving to the SGEP programme in 2010 for full product category management. Scientific Games also provides the Lottery with sports betting technology and services.

“We are honored that Nederlandse Loterij has entrusted Scientific Games with its instant scratch cards business, and we are committed to using our more than 45 years of experience to continue developing its instant product portfolio to responsibly grow sales and profits,” John Schulz, Senior Vice President, Lottery Instant Products for Scientific Games, said.

“SGEP is the market-leading program for lotteries focused on responsibly growing the instant product category. It is proven successful for many of the top-peforming lotteries in the world, and we are delighted to continue maximizing results for Nederlandse Loterij and its retail partners, while providing great entertainment for players,” Matthias Müller, Vice President Sales & Marketing for Scientific Games International Lottery Systems, said.

Battle Demons and Land Hellacious Wins in Gates of Hellfire from Gaming Corps

Plunge deep into the underworld for monstrous wins in Gaming Corps’ brand-new Gates of Hellfire slot.

Gaming Corps, a publicly listed game studio based in Sweden, is excited to announce the launch of the Gates of Hellfire slot.

Prepare for a journey into the underworld’s darkest depths in a game, unlike any other slot on the market. The Gates of Hellfire slot uses a unique payment system, requiring players to defeat a sinister selection of demon enemies on the reels to secure wins, with a maximum prize of 5,000x the player’s stake up for grabs.

The game grid consists of two main parts: a 5×5 grid where Enemies can land, known as the Enemy Grid, and an additional row under the reels, known as the Weapon Grid.

In Gates of Hellfire, a rogue gallery of diabolical demons can land on the Enemy Grid, each displaying prizes. Players counter this by landing weapons, including a sniper, a shotgun, and a rocket launcher, on the Weapon Grid, each of which will attack the enemies on the grid in a different pattern. This will deplete their health, with the ultimate aim of destroying them and winning their prizes.

It is not just enemies that can land on the grid. If players land three Scatter symbols, they will dive further into the pits of hell with the Hellfire Spins. During this round, players go head-to-head with a Demon Boss. Players are given their own health points, which will be depleted after each spin.

There are three bosses to defeat: the Baron Twins, the Infernal Spider, and the Hellfire Tyrant. If players defeat a boss before their points are depleted, they will advance to the next one; if they lose, the round is over. Thanks to the Respawn feature, it is also possible to be revived during the round.

If players want to take on one of these bosses without waiting for Scatters to land, they can use the Buy Bonus feature.

Gates of Hellfire is one of several innovative titles the Gaming Corps has recently released. New games like Xmas Unwrapped and Wet and Wild Beavers have all been launched in recent months, each of which showcases the company’s creative approach to game development in entirely different ways.

Connor Blinman, Head of Games at Gaming Corps, said: “At Gaming Corps, we pride ourselves on our innovation approach to slot development, which is on full display with Gates of Hellfire. Collection mechanics have become immensely popular with slot players in recent years, and with Gates of Hellfire, we have reimagined these mechanics to offer players something unique.

We want to provide our players with immersive, captivating gameplay experiences they can not find elsewhere. Gates of Hellfire achieves that goal, combining a hellish and memorable design with innovative features and strong winning potential.”

NICE Recommends Healthcare Professionals Ask People About Gambling at Health Checks and GP Appointments

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has recommended that general practitioners (GPs) in the UK to ask patients about their gambling habits during health checks and appointments.

The recommendation is included in the first clinical guideline on gambling-related harms: identification, assessment and management.

“Gambling-related harms” is the term used to describe the negative impacts of gambling on the health and wellbeing of individuals, families, communities and society. These harms affect people’s finances, relationships and health (particularly mental health).

The new guideline advises healthcare professionals and social service workers to ask about gambling in various situations. This includes appointments related to depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts or potential addictions such as alcohol or drug dependence. These groups may be at higher risk of gambling-related harm. NICE recommends identifying these risks as early as possible.

People may also be at increased risk of gambling-related harm for several other reasons, including if they are suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Taking medication that may affect impulse control, experiencing safeguarding issues or violence or a family history of gambling that harms could also increase a person’s level of risk.

People should be encouraged to assess the severity of their gambling-related harms by completing a questionnaire available on the NHS website. This is based on the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), a standardised measure for at-risk behaviour. A score of 8 or above indicates that they should seek support and treatment from a specialist gambling treatment service, while those with lower scores may also benefit from available support.

Healthcare professionals and social care practitioners must recognise and take action to ensure that stigma, shame and fear of disclosure does not prevent people experiencing gambling-related harms from seeking and accessing support and treatment.

It recommends using a tailored approach to meet the needs of each person, which could include providing them with access to vocation-specific services, such as veterans’ groups, or that take account of their ethnic background and religion. Treatments for gambling-related harms should also be provided in separate locations from services for alcohol or substance dependence.

The guidance recommends healthcare professionals consider involving a partner, family member or other person close to the person experiencing gambling-related harms in their treatment, if that is what they both want.

Gambling related harm has a devastating impact on those who experience it, and the people close to them. The useful and usable guideline will help healthcare professionals and others to identify those needing help earlier and ensure they get the treatment and support they need.

National Clinical Director for Primary Care, Dr Claire Fuller, said: “We welcome NICE’s decision as gambling can have a massive impact on people’s lives and the lives of the people that care for them, and as healthcare professionals, we need the right tools to help tackle gambling-related harms.

“Over the past few years, the NHS has made significant progress in expanding treatment for gambling addiction with the rollout of 15 specialist clinics across the country. So, if you’re worried about your gambling, there is support available, and you can directly refer yourself to your local NHS gambling clinic.”

Minister for Gambling Baroness Twycross said: “We welcome this guidance from NICE on identifying, assessing, and managing gambling-related harms, which will support those experiencing harmful gambling to get access to the right support.

“We know that clinical treatment is not necessarily right for everyone, but it is important that there is a full spectrum of support as we strengthen treatment options.

“The Government’s plans to introduce a statutory levy, which will generate £100 million each year, will provide the investment needed to further expand the support and treatment on offer for those in need.”

The Gambling Survey for Great Britain (2023), which collects data from 20,000 respondents each year, reported that 2.5% of the survey population aged 18 years and older living in Great Britain participate in “problem gambling” (defined as a PGSI score of 8 or more), with an additional 12% of the survey population participating in gambling with an elevated risk of harm (PGSI score 1 to 7). Overall, 2.8% of participants who had gambled in the past 12 months reported experiencing at least one severe consequence, such as the breakdown of a relationship. Rates were higher among male participants and were also higher among younger adults (those aged 18 to 34) than older adults (those aged 55 and over).

NHS England has opened 15 gambling clinics across the country since 2019 – seven of which opened in 2024. These clinics are expected to see 3000 people a year. All specialist clinics are fully NHS-commissioned and funded.

As set out in government’s response to the consultation on the structure, distribution and governance of the statutory levy on gambling operators, published in November 2024, the new statutory levy will provide a significant increase in investment for support and treatment services for gambling-related harm.
