Report shows sharp rise in mobile problem gambling

Published

on

The number of people being treated for gambling addiction on mobile phones and tablet devices has jumped significantly in recent years, according to a new report by the National Problem Gambling Clinic (NPGC).

 

Published by the BBC, the study shows that while 24% of NPGC patients in 2012-13 were struggling with mobile gambling, this has risen to 63% in 2016-17.

The total number of addicts referred to the NHS-supported clinic increased from 632 in 2012-13 to 778 in 2016-17, despite ongoing efforts in the UK industry to tackle such issues.

Of this total, 59% were treated for problems related to the much-criticised fixed-odds betting terminals (FOBTs), while 59% were also said to have struggled with sports betting in land-based sites.

In addition, 8% of NPGC patients reported problems related to bingo.

Dr. Neil Smith consultant clinical psychologist and service manager at the NPGC, said: ā€œThe use of mobile phones as platforms to gamble on over the preceding five years is not surprising given their ubiquity in society.ā€

A spokesperson for the UKā€™s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport has also called for the industry to take further action over such issues.

ā€œThere is clearly more work needed in this area,ā€ the spokesperson said.

ā€œWe are currently undertaking a review of the gambling sector that includes looking at social responsibility measures across the industry, including protections around gambling advertising.ā€

However, a spokesperson for the Remote Gambling Association has said that the ā€œtechnological advantages of remote gamblingā€ means that operators have more power to encourage responsible gambling.

It was also highlighted that a number of major software companies working on apps to block gaming sites from the phones and tablets of problem gamblers.

The revelation comes after the Local Government Association (LGA), formed of local councils in the UK, issued a call for ā€œgreater restrictionsā€ on betting-related advertising, in order to help minimise the risk of young people from developing gambling problems

Playā€™n Go launches Mystery Joker 6000

Published

on

Omni-channel slots specialist Playā€™n Go has reinvigorated the much-loved fruit slot in its latest title Mystery Joker 6000.

 

The three-wheel, five-payline game delivers the same classical symbols known to slots fans, with the introduction of the Joker symbol which triggers free spins and big wins on finding it.

When players land a Joker on a payline that runs across reels one and two, the third will re-spin while the rest are held, and if a third Joker is found, the innovative mystery wheel feature is triggered, potentially paying out up to 6000 times the current coin value.

Mystery Joker 6000 allows players to transfer winnings from the main game into the super meter mode, where bets cost double but wins even bigger, and with the mystery wheel even easier to find.

Landing three jokers randomly across the reels in the base game will pay out randomly up to 6000 times the coin value, with three on the one payline automatically awarding the full 6000 times to the player.

Significantly, super meter mode offers an RTP of over 100%, hugely attractive to players looking for consistent wins, and unique for what appears to be a traditional fruit slot.

Johan Tƶrnqvist, chief executive officer of Playā€™n Go, said: ā€œThe traditional fruit slot has been a mainstay of the casino space for decades with players loving its simplicity and regular payouts.

ā€œWeā€™ve decided to add the Playā€™n Go creative touch to the classic and reinvigorate the genre for todayā€™s player, and weā€™re sure theyā€™ll enjoy Mystery Joker 6000ā€™s much-improved gameplay.

ā€œThe Super Meter mode will offer players constant choice between big wins or potentially even greater ones should they feel lucky, particularly as the Mystery Wheel will come into play when finding just two Jokers.ā€

Mystery Joker 6000 marks Playā€™n Goā€™s final release of an award-winning year, which has seen it launch 60 new titles across various genres. Itā€™s set to build on this in 2018, with a product roadmap in place that will see even more innovative and enjoyable slot releases.
