The remote gambling sector in Great Britain is in a period of positive flux. Impact of GLA 2014 This was initiated by the Gambling Licensing and Advertising Act of 2014, which was introduced in November to requiring licenses from overseas operators offering services to customers in Great Britain and subjecting those operators to ongoing regulation according to a model designed to benefit players, operators, the government, and society at large alike. New Requirements The requirements included point of consumption licensing and related taxation which redefined the online gambling regulation model in the modern era, with the full ramifications for the industry at large just beginning to be felt: a wave of consolidation indicates that the pool of operators and suppliers will shrink quantitatively to give rise to super-operators who combine organizational tech specializations to form diverse platforms that are adaptable to many emerging market landscapes while being backed by hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars in corporate value. New Data Set Research reveals more accurate figures than ever before, and overseas operators are being included in industry reports for the first time. The worth of the overall remote gambling sector comes into focus now as well, revealing that as of September 30th, 719 remote gambling activity licences were held by 427 operators. This number rose by 18 from March to September, driven primarily by gambling license issuance, with licences for specific areas of pool betting and bingo also rising. Current popular casinos with a UK Gambling Commission licence include LeoVegas, SlotsMagic, and Fruity Casa. Revenue Takes for 2015 All told, the total gross gambling yield (GGY) for Great Britain remote gambling activities between November 2014 and March 2015 totaled £1.45bn. Remote gambling activities comprised £534.6m of the take, with football of accounting for the largest portion of intake, bringing in £168.4m closely and with horseracing second at £127.8m. Remote casino betting brought in £834.2m, driven by slots with £532.5m, and followed by table games with £140.3m. Forecast These figures will only grow moving forward, and provide valuable comparative data to determine what regulation strategies work for the new consolidated supercompanies on the horizon for 2016.

Renowned online casino software developer Play’n GO is kicking off the new year by releasing a new slot game with an intriguingly antiquated topic: Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead. Book of Dead will be available for play beginning this Thursday, January 14, at Play'n GO casinos such as Casino Cruise and CasinoExtra. About the Game Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead is the third in a series of Rich Wilde slot games, following the two wildly popular slots, Rich Wilde and the Aztec Idols and Rich Wilde and the Pearls of India. All of these slot games follow the title character, Rich Wilde, through his adventures through various foreign lands. In Book of Dead, Rich Wilde delves into the mysteries of ancient Egypt, guiding players through encounters with Osiris and Anubis and chasing after that ever-elusive, golden Book of Dead. The slot itself has 5 reels and 10 paylines, and the possibility of big wins. The Book of Dead itself acts as a wild symbol or a scatter symbol to help players get the best winning combinations. There is also a particularly exciting free spin sequence, which can be retriggered until the max prize of 250,000 coins is won. Book of Dead is highly reminiscent of the classic slot machine, Book of Ra Deluxe slot, which can be found in popular land-based casinos all over the world. Players who have enjoyed the Book of Ra Deluxe slot will be happy that there is now a similar slot game they can play online, without having to leave the comfort of their homes.

The trend towards eSports just added a significant player. Activision Blizzard, best known for publishing Call of Duty, has now acquired the prominent eSports veteran organiser Major League Gaming (MLG) for $46m. Terms of the Deal The deal will provide Activision with full access to MLG holdings including its prized content streaming platform, live gaming events and competitive gaming leagues. Activision also takes hold of MLGtv, the company's online eSports channel watched by a reported 20 million viewers per month. Activision Blizzard chief executive Bobby Kotick released a statement of his company's goal of creating “the ESPN of eSports.” Ironically, ESPN is of late increasing its coverage of eSports events as well. Kotik cited the prime value of the deal as “MLG’s ability to create premium content and its proven broadcast technology platform – including its live streaming capabilities.” Activision's New Entry Activision formed its eSports division just last October, appointing MLG co-founder Mike Sepso and former ESPN chief Steve Bornstein to run it. The other MLG co-founder, Sundance DiGiovanni, will also join Activision. The eSports Background The emergence of the eSports industry has been accelerating since its inception in the mid-90s, with upwards of 130 million people now streaming eSports tournaments and events worldwide. The most popular eSports League of Legends and Dota 2 generate live events which have been selling out large sports stadiums. The eSports trend has been only growing bigger as a result of entry from corporate heavyweights such as Activision, while betting on eSports betting has become popular at online sports books such as bet365, Winner and Real Deal Bet. History of Activision Involvement Activision's foray into professional gaming can be charted over the last five years. The company's Starcraft strategy pioneered the growth of eSports and pro gaming during the 2000s, fueled specifically through growth in South Korea where it became a veritable national sport. Today, Activision hosts yearly Call of Duty and Hearthstone world championships which have huge follower bases. Impact on eSports The value of eSports currently lies with creating dedicated and enthusiastic communities around the titles themselves, and the Activision deal will provide healthy investment and technology to solidify brand association for its existing titles as well as those it inherits from MLG.
La Liga league leaders Atletico Madrid will host the second last team on the Spanish table, Rayo Vallecano at Vicente Calderón stadium this evening. The winner of tonight's match will move on to the quarter finals of the Copa del Rey and that much closer to the championship. Diego Simeone has taken his team to the top of the Spanish league over top tier teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. They have been incredible this season and have beaten virtually every team in the league, except for three slip-ups on the way. They are running through the Copa del Rey and not looking back, attempting to win a final, after having last won in 2013's epic victory against Real Madrid 2-1. With Real Madrid out of this year's tournament already in the last round, Atletico's chances are better than ever to take the title. Rayo is the exact opposite of Atletico this season in La Liga, and their second-to-last position in the league standings is more than enough proof. Rayo manager Paco Jemex is leading his squad on a depressing path, not having secured a win in their last eight matches. They did manage to hold onto a home-draw in the first leg of the round of 16, but tonight they face Atletico at home, and Madrid have been stunning at Calderon. If Rayo loses tonight, and I am very sure that they will, if will spell the end to their season and possible the end to Jemex at the helm. Injury Report Atletico are almost at full strength ahead of the match, minus the obvious injuries to Tiago (broken leg) and striker Fernando Torres (ankle), whom fell during the week. Rayo are without much of their talent with Razvan Rat in need of an operation, both goalkeepers David Cobeno and Tono are out but they were not needed in the 1-1 draw in the first leg, as Juan Carlos filled in for Yoel, which is what will happen tonight. Online Cope del Rey Betting It will be a miracle if Rayo can beat Atletico tonight and if they do, bet365 will pay out at 13.00 for all outright wagers. Madrid are obvious favorites at 1.28, which is not very heavy profits for punters. The best bet would be to combine a pre-match wager and then, play live with bet365 in play betting markets to maximize winnings.

The Best is Yet to Come Extinction, Gourmet Ranch Riches, Epic City, Lucky Pirates, The Oddventurers and Big Time Journey are the slot machines that can already be played by Mr Green Casino players. These were some of the most popular titles available in the Six Odobo Marketplace, but the best is yet to come. Odobo revealed that an additional 14 games will be introduced in the foreseeable future, and more will come in 2016.

This agreement will help the software distributor reach customers from most European regions, while Mr Green players will enjoy exclusive new content. Initial results suggest that the first titles fared even better than expected, so it is only fair to assume that Mr Green will add more Odobo games.

The reputation and access to a diverse set of demographics made Mr Green casino the obvious choice for their most recent expansion.
2016 has started with a bang for casino game developer Habanero with the launch of the Bombs Away slot machine. The game comes with a theme based on the Second World War and has the old-school soundtrack and graphic touches to perfectly show off the action-packed gameplay filled with tanks, bombs and fighter planes. Wilds, free spins and a progressive jackpot The Bombs Away slot is not just nice to look at but can also be very rewarding with its low volatility and impressive features. Wild symbols burst into the scene very often as the bomb symbols appearing on the screen will explode to turn it and other random symbols adjacent to it into wilds. Getting three or more scatter symbols showing the gorgeous woman on the bomb will trigger the free spins mode, where the bomber can fly over the screen and release the massive payload to generate random wilds based on where the bombs drop. The combination of the two wild-generating features can result in big wins on the 50 fixed paylines. And if that wasn’t enough, the game also comes with a progressive jackpot which is displayed on top of the reels and gets bigger with every bet until one player wins it all. Playing Habanero slots Bombs Away will be made available at online casinos powered by Habanero, including leading brands like Winner Casino, 32Red Casino and Gala Casino. The game joins the new Gold Rush slot to be the latest titles from the provider, which now has more than 50 slot machines in its portfolio, along with table games and video pokers. Habanero will be present at the ICE Totally Gaming conference in February 2016 to present the best titles in its collection, making it the best place to officially unveil the explosive Bombs Away slot to the public.
The Greek economy is not yet out of the woods and with pressure mounting, the Syriza government is trying to find alternative ways of replenishing state coffers. One solution is to create a new licensing regime for Internet gambling operators, after the previous framework failed miserably. The officials have announced their intention to reform the entire system and make it easier for international casinos to apply for a license. Tax Revenues Expected to Surge in 2016 Greek players are big fans of online gambling and Dublinbet Casino and Jackpot City Casino are some of the Internet casinos popular with the local audience. Even so, the lack of a coherent licensing strategy resulted in paltry tax revenues since 2013 and numerous opportunities lost. Over this period of time, gambling operators paid no more than €60,000, an insignificant amount compared to the projected revenue for 2016. The Greek Syriza government is expecting the changes to result in a significant revenue boost, with as much as €500 million to be collected this year. Increasing the revenue 1000 times is not going to be easy, but the Greek Deputy Finance Minister Tryfon Alexiadis considers this to be a plausible scenario. A complete reform of the licensing regime is necessary to create the proper market conditions that will act as a magnet for international gambling operators. A Key Element in Syriza's Growth Strategy The Greek ruling party announced a batch of comprehensive reforms, with seven distinct pylons during the national election campaign. The reform of the online gambling environment is one of the most important changes and the new licenses will revolve around the value of €3 million. Online gambling operators will rejoice knowing that the authorities have no intention to bump the tax rates, so their profit margin shouldn’t be affected. It remains to be seen how the Greek will lay out their online gambling plans.
Celtic is still leading the Premier League but its advantage over Aberdeen has shrunk to just three points, an unprecedented situation for the reigning champions. They can put some distance between them and the runners-up, as they travel to Dundee United where they don’t expect to encounter much opposition. Top Vs Bottom Standoff Celtic dropped points in the last two weeks of 2015, losing at home to Motherwell and splitting points on the road against Hearts. They were in control of both games, but allowed opponents to claw their way back in the match after scoring early on. The reigning champions can’t afford to make the same mistakes against Dundee United, so they will come out firing on all cylinders. Despite playing in both the domestic competition and the Scottish cup, Celtic managed to avoid injuries and its strikers are all fit to play. Griffiths will spearhead the offensive after scoring 15 goals in 17 games and will be joined by Ciftci, a young Turkish player who defeated opposing goalkeepers 4 times this year. Dundee United Prepares for the Playoffs With just 10 points in 21 games, Dundee United is guaranteed to finish in the last place at the end of the regular season. All their hopes rest with the playoff games although given their performance this season they are unlikely to play one more year in the Scottish first flight. They recently lost against city rivals Dundee FC after taking an early lead and start as huge underdogs against Celtic. The visitors have a crushing head to head record, winning 62 games against Dundee United and losing just five times. Several defensive players are mending their injuries and are doubtful for this match, so the backline will come under a lot of pressure. That’s why it is worth taking the even odds given by Bet365 on Celtic to cover the -1.5 goals spread and secure a convincing victory on the road.
