GambleAware Appoints Zoë Osmond as its New CEO
GambleAware has appointed its communications and engagement director Zoë Osmond to the position of chief executive, replacing Marc Etches.
Before joining GambleAware in 2018, Osmond served as chief executive of the National Advertising Benevolent Society, a national charity that supports workers in media and advertising and then as a partner at marketing consultancy Oystercatchers Partnerships.
At GambleAware, she has led the execution of the charity’s safer gambling and treatment campaigns and has worked with stakeholders in public health, government, media, academia and the gaming industry.
GambleAware chair, Kate Lampard CBE, said: “In the past two and a half years that I and trustees have worked with Zoë, she has demonstrated to us that she fits the criteria we are looking for perfectly.
“Her knowledge and experience of GambleAware means she can hit the ground running, something that is of particular importance when starting a leadership role during a pandemic.
“Her ability to work with a wide range of subject matter experts and her experience of transforming a charity, building businesses, and leading change will be instrumental in taking GambleAware to the next stage in its development.”
Osmond said: “GambleAware is at an exciting moment in its history, and over the past ten years, Marc Etches has done a phenomenal job in leading the charity to this point.
“It is a critical time for the gambling sector and the recent pledge of up to £100m from the gambling industry means this is a significant time to shape and drive forward GambleAware’s vital work and develop its own expertise.
“I am excited by the prospect of transformation and the opportunities now available to GambleAware to work with other organisations to prevent gambling harm and I look forward to taking on the challenge.”

Wizard Games brings back unique pay-as-you-see mechanics in Digipays
NeoGames S.A subsidiary Wizard Games has brought back its fan-favourite visible payout mechanics where combinations of digits are awarded, in the latest release Digipays.
The 3×3 slot offers extremely basic payout mechanics, with no paying symbols on the reels apart from blank diamonds or numbers. Two consecutive digits on the same payline will award the number that it reflects. For example, if the numbers 0 and 1 land on the last two reels, players will win 1x. If 1 lands on the first column, followed by two 0s, they will win 100x.
Digipays offers a respin feature if the golden coin lands on the third reel. This awards three respins, where any number landing becomes sticky for the duration. Wins are awarded after every respin, without the count resetting.
In addition, players can boost their chance of triggering the respins via an increased stake feature. The title is the latest by Wizard Games to use this unique and popular mechanics, following high-performing Teddy’s Tavern and Bier Haus Riches.
Megan Easey, Director of Operations at Wizard Games, said: “This visible digits combination pay mechanics has proven to be a firm favourite with players, with its incredibly easy to understand payouts ensuring that every spin triggers excitement.
“With our respins mode offering significant chances of big wins on all three reels, we’re confident that Digipays will be another bold, popular addition to our slot offering.”

Uncover the gold in 3 Oaks Gaming’s 3 Clover Pots: Hold and Win
Distributor unleashes Magic Pots feature in Irish-themed title
3 Oaks Gaming, an established distributor of iGaming content, has unveiled its latest slot, 3 Clover Pots: Hold and Win, featuring an Irish-inspired makeover of its popular 3 Pots mechanic.
In this 5×3 title players will be greeted by the friendly Leprechaun, serving as the game’s Wild Symbol. The path to big wins is illuminated by the shimmering Gold Clover Bonus Symbols; amassing a minimum of six of these symbols sets the stage for the Hold & Win round.
The powerful Magic Pots feature is poised to transform respins into a cascade of epic rewards. As the Red, Green, and Purple Special Bonus Symbols land they fill the corresponding clover pot metres. When full, players will be transported to the Bonus Round with a matching booster – Double, Mystery, or Collect – with the potential to activate all three simultaneously.
During the Hold and Win round’s respins, Mystery Symbols could unveil a Jackpot – Mini, Minor, and Major. To claim the coveted x5,000 Grand Jackpot, players must fill the entire screen with Clovers.
Players can trigger the Free Spins game with three Scatter Symbols, during which Wild Symbols carry a x2 multiplier.
Yuriy Muratov, Chief Commercial Officer at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “With mesmerising graphics and meticulous attention to detail, 3 Clover Pots is designed to captivate and immerse players with a wide range of features.
“We’re excited to introduce this latest addition to our collection and eagerly anticipate its success amongst our esteemed partners.”
