An important gambling industry conference takes place this week in Milan, Italy!

 

European Gaming Congress (EGC) is just a few days away and the much-awaited conference is gathering major industry names among the speakers and delegates lists.

On the 8th of November at Radisson Blu Hotel Milan, high representatives of major industry operators and service providers will join regulators and gambling industry experts for a full day of quality learning and networking.

You can register here or view the agenda here!

EGC was created in order to help industry shareholders to cover more jurisdictions and expand their gambling business across European markets that work best for their budgets and strategy.

By creating this platform, we have enabled operators, software and service providers, regulators and industry experts to meet yearly in remote locations and discuss opportunities and updates from regions that we are not covering via Prague Gaming Summit, MARE BALTICUM Gaming Summit, and CEEGC Budapest.

This way, you have the opportunity to learn from genuine world-class experts of the gaming industry who share their knowledge about the state of the gambling industry in South / South West Europe, West Europe, Benelux, and D-A-CH region.

When it comes to content, we are bringing top quality as usual and here are the premium panel discussions in which you can engage or learn from during your time spent at EGC Milan:

Yggdrasil serves up spooktacular wins in Ghost Father
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Leading iGaming publisher Yggdrasil and YGG Masters partner Peter & Sons have called upon the spirits to deliver big wins in their latest feature-filled release Ghost Father.

The atmospheric slot can award up to 10,000x the player’s stake by way of cash symbols, a collect feature and free spins that boast multipliers, retriggers and a ghost rain feature.

Special ghost symbols can land on the reels, each displaying a cash value worth up to 1,000x. These cannot be collected unless the golden bet option has been enabled for 0.5x on top of the base bet.

Should three or more scatter symbols land, players are awarded up to 12 free spins. During the bonus, wilds can appear and the values from all ghost symbols are automatically collected.

There are three collection meters during the bonus that award free spins, multipliers and ghost rain boosters. If three spades land, three additional spins are granted. Should three hearts land, a win multiplier is applied to the win. If three diamonds land, ghost rain occurs and extra ghost symbols are added to the game reels.

Players who wish to head straight into the action can immediately buy into the free spins bonus for a cost of 120x their stake, randomly awarding them between seven and 12 free spins.

Ghost Father is powered by GATI, Yggdrasil’s state-of-the-art technology enabling partners to employ the preconfigured, regulation-ready, standardised development toolkit to consistently produce cutting-edge content followed by rapid distribution.

Zoe Bird, Senior Product & Program Manager at Yggdrasil, said: “Peter & Sons never let us down when it comes to creating visually pleasing slots with extremely enjoyable bonus features and mechanics, and Ghost Father is another winning title that we are confident operators and players will enjoy.”

Yann Bautista, Business Development Manager at Peter & Sons, said: “Ghost hunters and thrill-seekers after gameplay with substantial win potential will find that Ghost Father is the title for them. With striking graphics, engaging gameplay and memorable bonus features, what’s not to love?”

Bacta has confirmed that it is moving its 21st April National Council meeting from London to Leeds with members invited to meet with the Council over lunch and participate in an informal Open Forum.

The initiative which is part of Bacta’s restructuring and modernisation programme voted on by the membership last year, provides an opportunity for the trade association to show how the National Council operates, provide analysis on the latest White Paper developments and canvass opinion on the key issues which are impacting members businesses.

Announcing the development National President John Bollom said: “Historically I think there was probably a degree of mystery surrounding the work of National Council and how it operated.

“The new National Council is very much a working board with individual members using their specialisms and skill-sets to deliver on behalf of Bacta and its members.

“This streamlined structure means that we are much more agile as an organisation with the capacity to respond quickly to the issues of the day something which has been particularly important in relation to the White Paper.”

He added: “The new Bacta is very much a listening organisation and the Open Forum will provide an opportunity to not only update on developments impacted by the White Paper but also to identify the issues which are important to members and which will help us to define the priorities moving forward.”
