Belgium have utterly destroyed Hungary in the first elimination round and will now take on Wales. They’ve got a quality roster and of the best offensive lineups of all teams at Euro 2016. Their opponents are not to be trifled with, as Gareth Bale is capable of single-handedly win matches. The two teams lock horns in the second semifinal and the winner will face Portugal or Poland. A Convincing Performance for Belgium Belgium was listed among the favorites to win the trophy, but during the group stage they failed to meet the high expectations. After losing the opening match against Italy, they returned to their winning ways and won three games in a row without conceding. They’ve got quality defenders and a backline capable of withstanding prolonged attacks, from better teams than Wales. Gareth Bale is a formidable striker, but as long as the Belgians will keep two players guarding him at all times, he will struggle. Speed is his main attribute and it would be a severe mistake to allow him to send too many shots at the goal. A Historic Performance for Wales With England, Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland eliminated from the competition, Wales is the only team left from the United Kingdom. They scrapped narrow margin victories and are yet to lose a match in regulation time. Against Belgium, they will be under a lot of pressure and are expected to use a similar strategy as against England. Punters should choose between betting on fewer than 2.5 goals to be scored or an outright victory for Belgium. The latter is priced at 4/5 by bet365 Sports, but the odds are expected to drop as kickoff draws near. The chances for the game to turn into a goal scoring festival are not that big either, as both teams are great at defending.
The Malta market is growing robustly, according to just released annual figures. New Report Positive The Malta Gaming Authority´s annual financial report for the year ending December 31, 2015 was published earlier this week shows healthy growth in both land-based and online gaming. Revenue Breakdowns Total revenue for the year reached €60.9 million in revenue, for an increase year-on-year of 4.3% as compared to the figure posted for the previous calendar year. The Maltese government brought in €55.8 million in tax revenue for 2015, up from the 2014 total of €53.2 million. Total GGR The total for gross gaming revenue from land-based casino operations reached €78.1 million for a 3% jump year-on-year, with brick and mortar casinos wagering €333.1 million, garnering winnings of €255 million. Strategic Benchmarks The Malta figures are more important than just as indicators of growth, but also as benchmarks in a three year strategy launched by Malta gaming officials in 2014, designed to establish the autonomy of the Malta market and regulation model despite the turbulence of the EU market, which of course was shaken considerably by the recent Brexit. Maltese Promotion The Malta Gaming Authority has of late increased its efforts provide a haven for players and operators alike, setting up the GamingMalta Foundation to promote the jurisdiction as a new hotspot for gaming. Adaptation Implementation To this end, GamingMalta established a supervisory council to maintain the integrity and cohesiveness of Malta´s regulatory model and overhauled the jurisdiction’s gambling regulations. A new legislative framework is in the works to provide further innovation, flexibility, and oversight to facilitate growth. Greater Goals A second goal of said strategy is diversification, according to a series of policy building blocks which includes increased focus on quality, innovation, fairness, consumer protection, proportionality, evidence-based regulation and consistency as specified by Malta Gaming Authority Chairman Joseph Cuschieri. Outlook As a small economy, the welcoming of a diverse new industry such as iGaming can substantially bolster the Maltese economy, and any turbulence in global or regional online economies can only help the Maltese cause, as long as the regulation model remains sustainable. So far, so good.

XIN Gaming has made a new online slot game for summer 2016. While Fish Hunter King will be entirely new to western players, their counterparts in China will be familiar with Fish Hunter as a beloved arcade game. Moving forward, the global casino industry will now get to learn about this fishing franchise. Innovative Slot Design When making Fish Hunter King, XIN Gaming has set out to make an online slot with numerous ways of creating winning combinations of symbols. To that end, the slot has been crafted with five reels and four rows, which means 20 symbols can appear at once. Going across the reels, there are 50 paylines in total. For players, this is an innovative feature because slot games typically only have 15 symbols. What this means is that Fish Hunter King has more ways to win than the average slot game. In the industry, it is quite unusual to have a slot with four rows instead of only three. Some developers have done this before, but there are not many examples out there. Tranquil Underwater Visuals By visual design, XIN Gaming’s Fish Hunter King slot is a colourful experience. An array of different species appear as the various symbols, with each bringing a different colour scheme to the experience. The fish are then presented in front of a tranquil underwater scene, with multi-coloured coral displayed throughout. XIN Gaming chief executive Mathias Larsson believes the new slot game will find an in-built Asian audience because of its popularity in the China. Larsson has also spoken of how Fish Hunter King will show Chinese players that XIN Gaming is aware of what its players desire. At the launch, Larsson also stated his belief that his company is the only developer capable of releasing a game of this style.
Italy has surpassed all expectations by winning the group in a convincing manner, with a match yet to be played. They were credited with the second chance against Spain, but looked like the better team and were not lucky to emerge victorious. Once again, they start as underdogs and this time they take on Germany, an opponent that has caused them plenty of problems in the past. A Potent Mix of Young and Old Italy is known for its experienced back-line and the fact that it knows how to defend narrow margin leads. While they still have a couple of old defenders and a veteran defending their net, the Italians have a young offensive lineup. Eder proved his quality on several occasions and he’s expected to pose a serious threat to the Germans, if given the chance to shot. The backline is as reliable as ever and with Buffon guarding the goal, the reigning world champions will have a hard time scoring. Italy is not expected to change its strategy after using it successfully against Spain and won’t concede the initiative. Tremendous Pressure on Germany The Germans did everything right, as they won the group with ease and avoided injuries and suspensions. They were supposed to play against weaker teams, but things didn’t go their way and they are on a rough and twisted path. They are very likely to face France if they defeat Italy, but bookmakers still credit them with the best chance to lift the trophy. Germany didn’t make any mistakes so far, but struggled against Poland and were far from impressive against Northern Ireland. Italy will give them a run for their money, yet bet365 Sports is offering great odds on the underdogs. Punters can take the double chance wager at odds of 7/10, so they win even if Germany advances to the next stage in overtime.
Don’t be fooled by the name - Monster Wins by NextGen Gaming is a high-spirited, fun-filled slot game that features monsters, who, instead of being scary, are actually quite cute, not to mention helpful in amassing wins. About the Game Monster Wins is a 5-reel, 1024-ways-to-win slot, with a light-hearted feel that can be enjoyed on both PC and mobile. The background of the game is a starry night on a planet far, far away, and monsters with varying numbers of eyes are the symbols on the reels. The soundtrack is upbeat and bouncy, which adds to the fun and momentum of the game. The main bonus feature is the free spins bonus round, which is triggered when three bonus symbols (the Big Boss) appear on the reels. The free spins bonus round includes stacked wilds on one reel and increased wilds on the other reels. Monster Wins is certainly a lighter game than NextGen’s previous two slots, Wolfpack Pays and Batman. But whether Monster Wins will measure up to the success of those two is yet to be seen. The only way to find out is to try it out for yourself, so look out for Monster Wins at NextGen powered casinos such as bet365 Casino, Video Slots Casino, and Mobile Wins Casino. About NextGen Gaming NextGen Gaming is the Australia-based slots game studio of NYX Gaming Group, and it is famous for creating engaging, repeat play slots.

Days after England voted to leave the European Union, their national team followed suit and left Euro 2016. It was one of the most shocking results at this tournament, with Iceland playing the role of executioner. The small Nordic nation brilliantly rebounded after conceding an early goal from a penalty and scored twice in a matter of minutes. They now take on the home side and a favorite to lift the trophy. Testing Times for Iceland Punters and pundits have frequently underestimated Iceland and they paid the price. It is no coincidence that they eliminated England after avoiding defeat throughout the group stage and finishing second, ahead of Portugal. This is the same team that defeated the Netherlands both at home and on the road, to qualify from the first position. A quick glance at their roster will highlight the fact that they’ve got a healthy mix of offensive and defensive players. Their strikers are playing for top European teams and have accumulated enough experience in strong championships. They sent a lot of shots at the opposing net and are not afraid of physical football, unlike French players. An Entire Country Watching the National Team France will benefit from the support of tens of thousands of fans, but this is a double-edged sword. They have amazing attackers, all capable of scoring goals, but none of them stood out from the crowd. Griezmann was the savior against Republic of Ireland after scoring twice in the second half. In all fairness, the team put itself between a rock and a hard spot and was lucky to qualify. Punters are tempted to side with the home team, counting on Iceland to succumb under pressure. While it’s very likely for them to finally lose a match, it’s hard to believe that will go down without a fight. That’s why punters should take the bet365 Sports odds of 7/10 on Iceland not to lose by two goals or more.
