The partnership will allow players to make instant and secure cash deposits at Luckbox via more than 150,000 retail locations across Europe and international markets. Customers can do so without providing bank or credit card details, and the closed loop system means that codes cannot be shared or transferred by users, thereby mitigating fraud.

Luckbox Head of Payments Boris Kostadinov said: “We are thrilled to partner with Funanga to be able to offer our players further secure and streamlined payment options. Our proprietary product sets us apart from the competition and allows us to cater for a new generation of bettors in a way that traditional sportsbooks don’t. Our focus for the first half of 2021 has been an intense and necessary phase of improving our platform and offering frictionless payment methods is an important part of the customer journey to make player acquisition and player retention as efficient as possible.”

“There will always be customers who prefer to pay in cash, for privacy, self-control and security reasons. It’s why all leading iGaming operators are exploring cash deposit options to add to their payment ecosystems,” said Funanga CEO and co-founder, Jens Bader. “We’re thrilled to be working with Luckbox, a brand known for its commitment to the user experience and the implementation of new technology. It feels like vindication for our product’s usability and innovative approach to cash.”

Budapest beckons for Veloce Racing as Chadwick targets return to top step

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Reigning champion and rookie team-mate Tomaselli all fired-up for Hungary 

W Series arrives in Budapest for Round 4 of the 2021 championship this weekend (30/31 July) as the evolving title fight resumes and Veloce Racing sets its sights on a return to winning ways at the Hungaroring.

The London-based outfit has enjoyed a successful start to its maiden W Series campaign, with reigning champion Jamie Chadwick picking up victory at the second instalment of the Austrian double-header, swiftly followed by a popular home podium at Silverstone less than two weeks ago.

Rookie team-mate Bruna Tomaselli, meanwhile, has impressed in her first three events finishing just outside the top ten in Rounds 1 and 3 while the second race in Austria yielded a third in qualifying and a fifth at the chequered flag.

Following her Silverstone podium, Chadwick now sits second in the overall standings just six points behind compatriot Alice Powell, but the 23-year-old is looking to snatch the top spot back this weekend.

The Hungaroring is yet another new W Series venue in 2021 and the iconic 2.722-mile circuit is sure to produce thrilling racing up and down the ultra-competitive field.

Jamie Chadwick, Driver, Veloce Racing commented: 

“It’s great to be going racing again after just one weekend off. I think it’s really important to keep that momentum rolling and not to lose focus.

“The Hungaroring is a circuit I’ve always wanted to race at but never had the opportunity, so I can’t wait to get on track! Obviously, I’ve brushed up on my knowledge in the simulator so that has helped with my preparation.

“We have to go into this weekend on the front foot. Alice [Powell] did a fantastic job at Silverstone but now we have to come back stronger and fight for the win if we want the championship lead back.”

Bruna Tomaselli, Driver, Veloce Racing said: 

“We’re heading to another brilliant venue this weekend. The Hungaroring is like a giant kart track so we should see some great racing and hopefully we’ll be able to pick up some more points.

“The season has gone well so far. Considering this is only my fourth race, I’m quite happy with two finishes just outside of the points and a fifth. Of course, there’s always room to improve so hopefully we can mix it at the front this weekend.

Mariella Bailey, Team Principal, Veloce Racing added: 

“Veloce Racing has had such a positive start to the season. We didn’t know what to expect coming into our first single-seater championship, but it has exceeded all expectations.

“Bruna [Tomaselli] has been taking huge strides every time she’s out in the car so we’re all excited to see what she can do in the coming races. Jamie is obviously in the hunt for the title, she’s got a battle on her hands as Powell is looking really strong so I believe the experience of winning the title in 2019 will prove vital.”

Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, has set off on an ancient Greek quest in its latest hit Golden Gorgon.

The 3×5, 25 payline hit takes a classic gameplay style within a mythological setting as players look to follow in the footsteps of Perseus and find the riches of the fearsome Gorgons.

If the Golden Gaze respins is triggered, winning symbols are turned sticky and a respin of other symbols is triggered. The respins retrigger as long as new winning symbols land on the reels, or the board is completely filled with winning symbols.

Filling columns with winning symbols awards a multiplier. The multiplier is equal to the number of columns filled and per the indicator below the reels. The feature usually occurs over the course of the Golden Gaze respins.

The latest addition to Yggdrasil’s growing portfolio follows successful titles featuring the supplier’s Game Engagement Mechanics (GEM), while the YG Masters library continues to expand with thrilling and unique titles.

Stuart McCarthy, Head of Product and Programs at Yggdrasil, said: “Golden Gorgon takes straightforward gameplay that appeals to classic slots fans and adds a thrilling respin feature with massive multiplier potential.

“The immersive environment transports players back to the heroes of mythology and we can’t wait to see how players react to this high volatility hit.”

Play’n GO Return to Asgard with Odin: Protector of the Realms

Reading Time: < 1 minute

 

Play’n GO enter the world of Norse mythology once again with their latest game, Odin: Protector of the Realms. 

The game revolves around Norse God, Odin, who remains to protect Asgard from oncoming attacks while Thor and the other gods defend the Realm. Players must harness Odin’s magical powers to defeat Asgard’s enemies.

Like Honey Rush and Vortex, this epic cascading grid slot game sees a creative use of a hexagonal grid; players are encouraged to harness Odin’s power to increase the size of their win. With 37 symbols to match, this is all about the long game; however, collecting big clusters – thanks to the hexagonal design – to complete the grid is devised to create immediate player satisfaction.

Players can summon three of Odin’s powers: Power, Glory and Wisdom. Power will trigger the charge feature where two symbols are selected and destroyed. Glory can trigger several WILDs to the grid, while Wisdom sees Odin randomly upgrading the central symbol and its matching symbols within the grid.

Known for their attention to detail, Play’n GO encapsulates rich narratives and intricate artwork throughout this series of games for a super-immersive experience. In addition, power symbols ring true to Norse mythology with motifs such as Thor’s Hammer and Frithiof’s Angurvadal.

Fans of Play’n GO’s Viking mythology saga, which includes the popular titles Viking Runecraft and Faces of Freya, are in for a treat with this sequel to Ring of Odin. So, why are Viking-inspired games so popular? Head of Games, Charlotte Miliziano, had this to say:

“Mythology is one of our most popular themes as it casts the way for rich narratives and awe-inspiring artwork that our players just can’t get enough of; lighting, thunder, and magic – what’s not to love?”

Odin: Protector of the Realms is available to play online today.

It causes symbols to crystallize after a blue star appears at the bottom of the screen, along with another one to the right, which signals a position in the rows. Once these blue stars appear the feature will begin. The symbol in the position that has been signaled will crystallize, and in turn it will crystallize all the other symbols of the same type. Once they have been crystallized a side bar with multipliers will appear, and the win awarded by the crystal symbol will be multiplied by a random value of up to x50. This feature keeps the excitement going from beginning to end.

This minigame is activated by filling the progress bar that appears on the side of the screen, and it gives you the chance to obtain even more wins by combining Super 15 symbols to form bigger symbols. This feature keeps the excitement going from beginning to end.

Super 12 symbol launches the “Lucky Stars” feature. The symbol is converted into 3 stars which remain fixed and offers 3 free spins to players going back to start the counter again with each additional star. Throughout this feature, players also have the possibility to accumulate wins in the “Minor, Major and Grand” Jackpots which are delivered when it finishes.

The Super 10 symbol activates the exciting “Super 10 Mini-Slot” which delivers very interesting wins as well as instant free spins, multipliers or the “Roulette Frenzy” win.

The Super 7 stars symbol appears on the central reel and expands, remaining fixed and launching a Respin of the other reels.

The Super 5 stars symbols multiplies the bet up to x200 and the “Roulette Bonus” delivers mouth-watering wins. The players will also be able to enjoy free spins after the appearance of the 3 bonus symbols. A comprehensive video slot which will keep players eager and attentive at all times.
