VIXIO GamblingCompliance announces 2020 Global Regulatory Awards shortlist

Today, VIXIO GamblingCompliance unveiled the shortlist for their Global Regulatory Awards (GRA).  Now in their fourth year, the VIXIO GRAs recognise and celebrate the achievements of individuals, teams and businesses who have excelled in the field of compliance, corporate social responsibility and responsible gambling over the course of the year.

Mike Woolfrey, CEO, VIXIO, said “This year has been one of the most competitive years yet, with the judges having to consider hundreds of entries to shortlist finalists across 18 categories. Every year the standard gets higher as the industry moves to an ever-greater culture of compliance. Our judging process is extremely rigorous and the awards are hotly contested, so being shortlisted is a highly significant achievement. Whilst this year we are disappointed we won’t be able to host our black-tie gala dinner, we are looking forward to announcing the winners at our virtual event, which everyone can join to celebrate the industry’s achievements”.

We are delighted to be partnering with VIXIO GamblingCompliance on these hugely important awards and we look forward to seeing who emerges as winners on 29 October”

7Stars Partners is proud to announce the launch of OnlySpinsa first-of-its-kind casino brand that redefines the gaming experience, where fantasy meets interactive storytelling.

A Unique Concept That Goes Beyond Traditional Play

OnlySpins is a fully gamified environment where players interact with real models, unlock exclusive moments, and progress through personalised storylines on a paradise island. Each location introduces a stunning model with her own character, photos, and videos — turning every journey into an immersive and rewarding experience.

Players can spend OnlyBucks to send gifts and go on dates with the models, unlocking exclusive real content and progressing the Affection Meter. Each interaction deepens the storyline and provides tangible casino rewards such as bonus money, free spins, or real cash. Completing collections of Cards tied to each model unlocks special videos and further rewards — ensuring ongoing engagement and motivation to continue playing.

Interactive Intimacy That Retains Players

What truly sets OnlySpins apart is its layer of real-time live chat with models. Players can subscribe to chat directly with real models, receiving personalized messages, photos, and videos. This creates a strong sense of exclusivity and intimacy, driving repeat engagement and loyalty beyond standard bonus mechanics.

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Wazdan, the leading gain-focused developer, is ready to make its mark at the upcoming SiGMA Central Europe summit in Rome, taking place from 4th to 6th November at the Fiera Roma.

Italy represents one of Europe’s largest untapped online gambling markets, with total gambling revenue currently standing at an estimated €16 billion. Currently, only 25% of the market operates online, leaving €12 billion in offline revenue waiting to be unlocked.

Situated at stand 4040, Wazdan will be on hand to showcase the company’s Online gaining formula, featuring its captivating portfolio with over 250 certified games translated in more than 30 languages across 25 regulated markets.

Attendees will have the chance to experience the highly anticipated Mighty Wild: Gorilla release, while the recently launched Cash Grotto, 16 Coins x5000 and Mighty Crown: Legacy of Mars will also be on show, with all experiencing impressive early performances with the studio’s operator partners globally.

Turning attention to Wazdan’s industry-renowned network promotions, those in Rome will also benefit from invaluable insight into the upcoming multi-stage €6,000,000 Network Promotion, which has been built to secure long-term player retention rates during the busy festive period.

Beyond the product showcasing and prize giveaways, Wazdan views the summit as a key opportunity to strengthen regional partnerships and deepen its engagement with Italy’s thriving iGaming sector.

The event’s prominence on the global industry calendar makes it a natural fit for Wazdan’s ambitions to lead the way in compelling slot innovation and partner-focused growth.

Andrzej Hyla, Chief Commercial Officer at Wazdan, said: “SiGMA Central Europe is a fantastic opportunity to connect with partners and share how our Online gaining formula continues to drive measurable growth.

“We are delighted to be acting as a partner throughout the three-day summit, and look forward to shedding light on how our powerful game mechanics and retention tools can help partners accelerate their success in this dynamic market.”

Push Gaming doubles the Halloween thrills with Tarot Treasures and Tricky Treats

Published

Reading Time: 2 minutes

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming is set to deliver twice the thrills this Halloween with the release of two new seasonal titles, Tarot Treasures and Tricky Treats.

Both games highlight the recent launch of Push Gaming’s new product segmentation. Push Action delivers titles with enhanced layers of mechanics and player interaction, a category which Tarot Treasures proudly joins.

Meanwhile, Push Originals showcase the studio’s signature creative approach and innovative spirit, with Tricky Treats leading the way in this fresh line-up.

Tarot Treasures shuffles its diabolical deck in a spellbinding world where mysticism meets the proven success of the Push Ways mechanic.

Following the acclaim of Big Bite Push Ways, the feature receives a supernatural twist just in time for Halloween.

The introduction of cascade trails adds a fresh layer of gameplay, with enhanced dynamics during free spins. Players will also discover how hot zones and cascade trails combine to create electrifying experiences that offer both variety and excitement.

A week later, on October 22nd, Tricky Treats takes Halloween to the sweeter side, offering players a colourful cast of candy characters and a unique cluster wins mechanic.

Its innovative sticky wilds increase their multiplier with every win, while features such as Push Bet, which guarantees wilds, and the bonus buy option allow players to tailor their strategies to their own play style.

Added layers of thrill come from instant prize multiplier symbols and wild multiplier symbols, which boost all wilds and prizes on screen for explosive payout potential.

George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: “With Halloween on the horizon, we wanted to give players two very different—but equally exhilarating—seasonal experiences. Tarot Treasures takes the Push Ways mechanic in a supernatural direction.

Tricky Treats, on the other hand, leans into the fun of the season with brilliantly designed candy characters and cluster wins that keep the action flowing.

“Together, both releases show how we’re pushing variety and innovation across themes, mechanics and volatility to deliver Halloween content players will love.”
