Leeds United Foundation Teams Up with YGAM

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Leeds United Foundation has partnered with Young Gamers and Gamblers Education Trust (YGAM) to educate and safeguard young people from gaming and gambling-related harm.

The Education Team at the club’s official charity aims to help teach and inform young people, teachers and parents about the risks associated with gaming and gambling harms, to safeguard the next generation of football and sports fans.

“Gambling is often described as the hidden addiction and education is essential in preventing harm. People do not realise the correlation between gambling and other risky behaviours. It is vital that we raise awareness of gambling to try and bring it to the forefront and open those positive conversations. Sports foundations like Leeds United’s have a very positive, strong influence on young people, and they also have a huge influence within the local community,” Amy Bussey, YGAMs’ Education Manager for Yorkshire and Humber, said.

“If we can get sports involved in prevention and education, we can work with young people before harm occurs. It has been a pleasure working with their really engaging team members, who have strong links to education. They are already making moves to cover gambling harm with young people and clearly have a passion for educating and safeguarding young people,” Amy Bussey added.

“The workshop provided by Amy from YGAM was very informative and educational and we can’t thank them enough for their support. I was astonished at some of the statistics mentioned and particularly the information relating to the gaming industry. I would highly recommend this training to any schools, community groups or others who work with young minds. I am pleased that the Foundation now has the knowledge to help deal with these issues and support young people and their families in our local community,” Nigel Thewlis, Head of Secondary Education at the Leeds United Foundation, said.

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has served up another classic with its tasty Chef’s Sticky Fruits slot.

This latest release from Belatra’s studio is a vibrant and juicy addition to its renowned catalogue of slots. It’s a 5×4 slot game bursting with colour that’s heightened with an upbeat, retro soundtrack that perfectly captures the essence of fun at the heart of every play. With 100 active paylines, players have numerous chances to win big with every spin.

Players are surrounded by a cast of characters including the moustached chef himself and the innovative Mrs. Wild Cleaver, who represents the wild symbol.

The magic ingredient in this game is the Glued Reels feature. During gameplay, two identical glued reels can appear randomly, boosting players’ chances to walk away with big wins. These glued reels

have the power to expand across three, four, or even all five reels, dramatically increasing the opportunities for major payouts. Additionally, multipliers ranging from 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 or 100 can be applied to the glued reels.

Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Chef’s Sticky Fruits is the perfect recipe for fun on the reels. This new game brings together the essence of a fruit-themed slot and then seasons it with a fresh twist thanks to the Glued Reels feature. Players will be desperate to tuck in for a ‘bellissimo’ time.”
