Betway casino has just formed an agreement that will see the multichannel gambling operator partner with the Professional Players Federation (PPF), a sporting organisation formed to promote, protect, and develop the collective interests of players. Education to Highlight Match Fixing Risks The focus of the partnership will be for Betway to contribute to initiatives focused on sports betting integrity, highlighting the risks of match fixing. More than 5,000 athletes are estimated to participate in the annual initiatives. Betway’s funding will mostly be diverted to back educational training delivered through e-learning programmes and trained tutors. Betway CEO Richard Akitt explained that “we are all aware of the dangers and temptations that young, professional sportspeople face. We are, therefore, delighted to partner with the Professional Players Federation.” Akitt also announced that Betway intends to provide support to the PPF “for many years to come.” Protecting the Reputation of UK Sport PPF chairman Brendon Batson was equally delighted that Betway would be doing “much to protect British sporting integrity.” Batson believes that “education for athletes is one of the best defences against the threat of match fixing.” Batson went on to praise the virtues of sports betting operators working with the PPF to “protect the UK’s reputation for sporting excellence, integrity, and fair play.” Betway’s funding will enable the PPF to increase the scale of its education to encompass even more sports and athletes, a goal that the organisation has been perennially working towards since founding in 1991. Comprised of 13 member associations and presenting more than 17,000 athletes, the PPF is the largest of its kind in the world. The PPF has been drawing support from UK sports betting operators since 2010, with key partnerships formed with the likes of bet365, Betfair, and Ladbrokes. This latest deal will ensure Betway’s support for the next three years until June 2018.
Genii is the igaming software developer behind the newly launched Spin16, a visionary gaming concept that could revolutionise the way online slots are played. Spin16 is a concept that is designed to give players a superior level of control compared to standard slot games. Players with touchscreen devices will now have the power to spin each reel or row in any direction, with it possible to make 16 different spins. Spin16 is a patented concept that allows the players to spin up or down on each of the reels, as well as left or right on each of the rows. The sheer level of interactivity is far beyond that of standard video slots, which only require players to press a spin button covering all of the reels. Two Operators Already Signed Up After just three weeks on the market, Genii has already managed to sign up two igaming operators for Spin16, plus the developer’s entire library of 130 casino games. Dukes Casino-owner Continental and Unis Limited, both of which are situated in Malta, are the first two operators. Genii sales director Nick Barr expects more operators follow the deals struck with Continental and Unis. Barr described the response to Spin16 as “phenomenal,” adding “Genii’s in talks with a number of leading operators and discussions are already at an advanced stage.” The plan is for Genii and Barr to “meet with lots of people at the iGaming Supershow in Amsterdam later this month to show just why Spin16 is the most revolutionary slots concept seen in a long time.” To that end, the multi-directional design of the software is complemented by second-phase results that can apply multipliers to any of the paylines when the house pick is matched. Moreover, it is possible to follow the direction that is currently spinning hottest or coldest. Genii’s Spin16 slots are presently supported on Android, Apple, and Windows.
Today marks another chapter in Michael Crichton's epic dinosaur fantasies, as the fourth installment in the Jurassic Park film series, Jurassic World, hits theaters worldwide. Analysts have projected that the movie will open up to $125 million on its first weekend, while Universal Pictures were more restrained – expecting something around $110 million and north. Jurassic World is getting the biggest release in Universal's history, debuting on 4,273 theaters in North America and 66 foreign territories. Modified T-Rex Running Amok Described an "upgraded dino-disaster movie" by the Guardian newspaper, Jurassic World is set 22 years after the first film. The film follows Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), a seasoned Raptor trainer who has to deal with a genetically modified dinosaur running rampant in a dinosaur theme park dubbed "Jurassic World". The modified dino, Indominus Rex, possesses the body of a t-rex, but has traits of other dangerous dinos like Giganotosaurus and Therizinosaurus. Impressive CGI, Less Depth Reviews have generally had high praise for the movie's impressive CGI work and ability to frighten viewers and instill tension, but those looking for depth will probably have to look elsewhere. But then again, Jurassic World a film about big, scary genetically modified dinosaurs – and it seems that this is exactly what it delivers. Jurassic Park Slot One good indication that a film or a TV show is popular is when it has its own branded video slot. Branded video slots have become very common in online casinos, with Hollywood's biggest studios working together with software developers to bring their films to life in online casinos. Last summer saw the release of the Jurassic Park slot from Microgaming and Universal. The game has quickly made its way into players' hearts with its 243-ways-to-win and non-stop action in the bonus features that combine dinosaurs, free spins and loads of wilds. The Jurassic Park slot can be played at top Microgaming casinos like All Slots Casino, Casino Cruise, Tivoli Casino and Slotty Vegas among others.
Against all odds, the Cleveland Cavaliers are up 2-1 in the 2015 NBA Finals. After a huge performance over the first 3 quarters, not even a massive comeback by Golden State in the fourth quarter was enough to stop Cleveland. Let's put all the cards on the table for a minute. The Warriors were the outright favorites to win the NBA Finals, which is still very much possible. The first two games in Oakland went into Overtime, the Warriors taking the first, while the Cavs took the second, LeBron has had to play without the other star players on their roster Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, both out with bad injuries. Instead, James has found an unlikely, yet dedicated teammate in Matthew Dellavedova, as the big Aussie dove after loose balls and scored 20 points to help in the Cavs' Game 3 victory. The Warriors played such a good fourth quarter that it looked like the Cavs wouldn’t hold on. Curry shot some of the best baskets one can even hope to see, as he ended the night with 27. Let's face in though, James finished with 40 points (again) and has almost made the top three of highest NBA Finals scorers of all time. It was a rough night for the officials, as Warriors Head Coach and ex-NBA star Steve Kerr gave them an earful after the end buzzer. He shouldn't be worried about them though, as he still hasn't figured out a way to stop LeBron from having All-Star performances each and every game. NBA Finals Online Gambling It is still crazy to me that top online sports books like bet365 Sports have the odds in favor of the Warriors. Yes they were the best in the regular season, but the playoffs are a different story. Punters should be ecstatic to see that the Cavs are the underdogs (2.30 to Warriors 1.66), as this means there is potential for lucrative cash if James can seal the deal again.
In the face of increased lobbying and election support by online gambling's biggest opponents, the private sector of the US was encouraged by Amaya's acceptance to NASDAQ. Amaya Trading History The concept is not new, as Amaya has been traded on the or Toronto Stock Exchange since July 2010, where it saw strong growth, rising from .950 share value to a peak of 7.300 in August 2013. The mercurial rise of the company has been fueled by acquisitions, with the biggest to date being last summer's acquisition of Rational Group's operator holdings of PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker last summer for $4.9 billion. That deal spurred a tripling of share value, elevating Amaya's company's market value today to just under $6 billion, rendering the value the largest for an i-gaming enterprise. Since that acquisition, Amaya has been leaning up operations even more, dissolving its less relevant acquisitions while building up their core i-Gaming holdings. Further Strengthening Another adaptive deal on the horizon is Amaya's teaming with GVC Holdings pursuing the formation of the world’s former largest i-gaming company. Ironically, US investors will be able to invest in Amaya even while the majority of them have no access to Amaya's actual product. Although U.S. punters will be able to speculate on the company’s stocks, they still can’t play the giant’s online poker games, since only three states allow gambling online. Some Atlantic City-based online casinos carry Amaya slots and other games, something which PokerStars and Fill Tilt were to this point unable to do on their own. Healing the Wounds In fact, the former owners of Rational Group bore the brunt of penalties for offering online services to the US market before it was regulated, having to pay $731 million to settle the case. Despite the stigma of the “bad actor” label and Sands land-casino owner Sheldon Adelson's lobbying efforts against online gambling, the Amaya NASDAQ inclusion is a huge sign of legitimacy, certainly for current and prospective shareholders.

Group B in the Euro 2016 qualifiers heats up today as leaders Wales and Belgium go head to head in the Cardiff City Stadium (kickoff 19:45 UK time). Both teams reign atop Group B with 11 points each, with Belgium having the advantage with 7 more goals than Wales (12 to 5). Wales So far in the campaign, Wales has racked up 3 wins (Andorra, Israel, Cyprus) and two draws against Bosnia-Herzegovina and today's rival Belgium. Overall, the team has been displaying a solid performance with 7 total goals to their name. The Welsh will put a lot of responsibility on the shoulders and legs of Gareth Bale who is looking for his 50th international goal. Wales has taken part in a major international football tournament only once in the 1958 World Cup, so the Dragons are sure to give a good fight. Bale will have to exploit the hole in Belgium's defense which will be missing its influential captain, Vincent Kompany. Belgium Leading the group, Belgium has won three games (Andorra, Cyprus and Israel) and drawn two against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Wales. Belgium is a team that is strong with ball possession, something that works in its advantage with dangerous and skilled players the likes of Eden Hazard, Christian Benteke and Romelu Lukaku. The Belgians haven't lost a match since the 2014 World Cup quarter-final when they suffered a disappointing loss to eventual finalist Argentina. Ranked second with FIFA after Germany, there's a lot to expect from Belgium in every game they play, and while they are not at grave risk today – three points could buy a lot of peace of mind. Live Betting Today's fixture will be live at Winner Sports with a wide range of in-play and pre-match betting markets. In full time result, Belgium was 7/10 against Wales' 4/1. Tune-in today for this interesting game at Winner Sports.
Realistic Games will have another new slot game to offer players this summer following the release of its Chasing Rainbows slot. At present, the developer has a relatively modest selection of three-reel and five-reel slots, with 20 slots in total now offered. The addition of a brand new slot will help to maintain the developer’s upward trajectory. A Rewarding Slot Design After previously launching the three-reel Over the Rainbow slot, Realistic Games is now able to add a five-reel slot with a rainbow theme. Moving on to the specifics, Chasing Rainbows is a slot with 20 paylines. During play, there is the potential to trigger a maximum multiplier of 250x. Due to the highly competitive nature of developing igaming content, it is vital that developers include special features and lucrative rewards to make their online slots extra appealing. In the case of Chasing Rainbows, there is the potential to use scatter symbols to unlock free spins. Players will be delighted to save their own money when possible. Wild symbols are also highly beneficial, as these can fill in for missing symbols by completing paylines. Growth Targeted by Realistic Games Realistic Games commercial director Andy Harris described the slot release as “a welcome addition to your stable of top-performing five-reel slots.” Harris spoke with confidence that Chasing Rainbows would be “a big hit with players in all the territories we now serve.” Outside of slots, Realistic Games has been strongly committed to developing different types of games across multiple platforms: “Our aim is to provide those players with the best multichannel content on the market.” Harris and his team also strive to ensure mobile coverage is given to Apple and Android users. Chasing Rainbows can be found at established casinos such as bet365, promising a bright future for this developer.
