Slovakia’s Gambling Regulator Creates New Whitelist for Legal Gaming Sites

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

The Office for the Regulation of Gambling, the Slovakian gaming authority, has announced a whitelist for websites run by licensed operators in order to help players recognise which offerings are legal.

The authority has also historically maintained a similar public register for illegal websites.

Dávid Lenčéš, the authority general director, emphasised the inventiveness of grey and black market operators in a statement explaining the new feature.

“We prevent one illegal website from operating and another one is created immediately. The creativity of their operators has no limits,” said Lenčéš.

“They often try to motivate players with irresistible bonus offers, modern visuals, unlimited deposits, and in the case of foreign operators the perfect Slovak language. If players do not check the mandatory details of the website, they may have no reason to suspect that it is illegal content operating outside our country.”

“However, by playing on the illegal website, they are depriving themselves of the possibility of getting their winnings and their legal protection under the laws in force in the Slovak Republic,” Lenčéš added.

Lenčéš continued, explaining the risks that players take when they gamble with an unlicensed operator.

“In the section ‘legal websites’ we publish all licensed websites of licensed entities. This means that all others not included in this list are illegal. Illegal websites can deprive players of their stakes and winnings and are available to risk groups for whom gambling can pose mental health.”

“With more easily obtain information about the legality of a website, we are point out to the scope for playing online gambling games, which are under the control of the valid Slovak legislation.”

To qualify for a place on the list, legal websites must fulfil the obligations set forth by the country’s Gambling Act.

“We have tools that allow remote supervision. If we find any violations, there are sanctioning procedures, possibly even removal of the license.”

The sanctions also apply to those who promote illegal sites such as affiliates. The sanctions run from €50,000 for a human and up to €250,000 for those behind an AI promotion.

BTG’s ‘Trigger Happy’ to Bring Arcade Action to Evolution 22 May 2024

Stunning new cluster-pays slot introduces BTG’s Bonus Panels mechanic

Trigger Happy is the new highly volatile arcade-style slot from BTG that will be blasting its way onto the Evolution Network from 22 May.

The new cluster-pays slot tips its hat to video arcade games of yore, inviting players to blast a cascade of fluffy critters in a 5X5 grid embedded inside an arcade game mechanism. Meanwhile, the 50,000x win potential ramps up engagement levels to the max. The game also introduces a brand-new Bonus Panels mechanic.

Trigger Happy is a symbol-matching game, where each winning symbol is removed and replaced by new ones falling from above. On every spin and reaction, a target sight will place a wild in a random position on the grid. Meanwhile, two bonus panels could reveal multipliers, bombs or trigger coin bonuses.

When a multiplier aligns with the target symbol’s final position, it will be applied to the wild in that position. When multipliers align in both panels, they are multiplied together for the target wild. When a Bomb appears, it removes all symbols from its row or column and adds up to four wilds.

When a Target’s final position aligns with Trigger Coins in both Bonus Panels, it triggers the free spins round. During free spins, there are double the targets and double the wilds, and landing Trigger Coins in the targets will trigger yet more free spins where multipliers can be up to 10X in value or 100x with Bonus Buy.

Can’t wait to hit the bonus round? Use Win Exchange™ to convert your big wins into free spins. Alternatively, dive straight into the action with Bonus Buy.

Nik Robinson, BTG CEO, said: “You’re in for a critter-exploding, bonus-chasing treat and will have as much fun playing this game as we did while making it. Trigger Happy is a homage to the games we played when we were young. Who knew hanging around arcades playing video games would become an explosive fun experience online!”

Nicholas Peters, Chief Business Development Officer of Europe at Evolution, said: “Trigger Happy offers an exhilarating game, seamlessly intertwining BTG’s mesmerising visuals with their distinctive gameplay flair. With its innovative targeting system and dynamic Bonus-Panel mechanic, this game effortlessly transports the excitement of the arcade right onto your device.”

Games Global and Wishbone Games hatch a treat in Kingfisher™

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Wishbone Games, a Games Global exclusive studio, has launched its latest feature-filled title with a twist in tranquil new release Kingfisher™.

Set amongst the wildlife, players join the titular Kingfisher on the reels that are adorned with fish, dragonflies and frogs, unlocking different adventures and features along the way by hatching five eggs that sit above the matrix on the 5×4 grid.

When a Kingfisher symbol lands on a reel it pecks the egg above that reel, potentially cracking it open. If the egg cracks open, 10 free spins are awarded to the player along with that coloured egg’s specific feature.

Hatching the red egg on the first reel triggers the increasing multiplier that starts on 1x and upgrades by one up to 5x with each special symbol that lands in the round. The green egg on reel two adds values together to the fish symbols, starting on 0 and adding 1x the stake for every special symbol that lands in the feature up to 5x.

Hatching the blue egg on reel four upgrades the lowest paying symbol, adding monetary value for players when every up-arrow symbol hits in the round. The purple egg on reel five initiates the respin feature in which every heart symbol that stops on the reels represents another opportunity to spin and win big.

The golden egg on reel three triggers a two-phase bonus that incorporates all of the coloured egg features activated in the round for up to 5,300x the bet.

Wishbone Games is a Cardiff-based studio and was set up in 2022. With an exciting and experienced team behind some of the most popular and well-known online gaming products, players and operators can look forward to a variety of both classic and innovative online games.

Henna Vilmi, Commercial Director of Wishbone Games, said: “We had a blast producing Kingfisher! The whole studio was involved in brainstorming the features and it truly has been developed for players by players.

“Kingfisher himself acts as the feature-triggering symbol and our favourite part of the game is the Golden Egg super mode. Here you will get a head start in the enhancement collection with a random starting value from each egg before the free spins start. This egg is quite hard to crack but it brings another level to the game for the more experienced players.”

Andy Booth, Chief Product Officer at Games Global, said: “We are excited to introduce Kingfisher to our platform and showcase our continued dedication to immersing players in high quality gaming experiences.

“The game boasts simple mechanics that are feature-filled for plenty of opportunity for players new and old to win big through its multipliers, free spins and symbol upgrades, ensuring thrilling gameplay for all. Our exclusive data is showing the game is hitting all the right levels for a top tier release”.
