3 Oaks Gaming, an established distributor of iGaming content, has bolstered its captivating Hold and Win series of games by going live with Aztec-themed release Maya Sun, showcasing the dazzling Super Bonus Game and Boost feature.

Embarking on an epic adventure to the Mexican wilderness of stunning pyramids, this enchanting slot beckons players to the world of the Mayans, with the potential to win this title’s Royal Jackpot worth 10,000x.

This feature-rich game incorporates the popular Hold and Win mechanic, which continues to feature heavily in 3 Oaks titles following the success of recent releases such as Dragon Wealth and Sunlight Princess.

In this action-packed 5×3 slot, the Super Bonus Game is the pivotal mode, paving the way for users to build luxurious riches. This game transforms all Sun Bonus symbols into Super Bonus symbols to boost any wins. Five Bonus symbols in combination with a Super symbol unlocks this feature, which can also be triggered by securing a Super Bonus Symbol during the classic Hold and Win Bonus Game

Maya Sun’s Bonus Games are further elevated with the inclusion of five in-game jackpots, along with Mystery symbols that turn into one of the four smaller jackpots on offer or a Super Bonus symbol.

Another mystical surprise for users during the riveting gameplay is the Bonus Accum mechanic. Every Bonus symbol that lands is added to the special meter and filling this up potentially activates the Hold and Win Bonus game.

The final feature on this slot is the classical Free Spins game. This is triggered by collecting three Pyramid scatters, which awards 10 Free Spins. Boost symbols are also available as these collect all Bonus symbols on the reels, and wins are enhanced by the symbol appearing during this mode.

Sebastian Damian, Managing Director of 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “Our Hold and Win series of titles is always an extremely popular offering and we are thrilled to announce that Maya Sun has been added to this library of games.

“The evolution of Hold and Win slots is showcased brilliantly in this game, with a plethora of subtle changes to this slot, bursting with a variety of features. We are convinced that Maya Sun will go on to be a memorable hit for 3 Oaks Gaming.”

BGC Publishes New Code Handbook on Fifth Anniversary

Published

on

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

STANDARDS body The Betting and Gaming Council has published its first Code Handbook, comprising 20 Codes covering 100 measures all members commit to as part of the industry’s continued drive to raise standards.

The new Code Handbook – published to mark the BGC’s fifth anniversary – collates every voluntary commitment BGC operator’s sign up to as a condition of membership, including the BGC’s overarching Code of Conduct.

While three of the Codes have now become part of License Conditions and Codes of Practice (LCCP) for members, the vast majority of these commitments go beyond license requirements set by the independent regulator, the Gambling Commission.

As well as these measures – which have already been implemented across the BGC’s diverse and growing membership – the BGC is also working closely with government and the regulator on over 50 additional workstreams to further raise standards following the publication of the White Paper last year.

Those include frictionless enhanced spending checks online, an industry Ombudsman to improve customer redress and expanding the scope of the Bank Transfer Block project to offer customers even more control of their spending.

The vast majority of the measures are around safer gambling, including core pledges on advertising and messaging, the promotion of safer gambling tools and signposting help and support to those who need it.

These measures apply across the diverse membership of the BGC, including land-based operators like casinos, which are a pillar of the hospitality and tourism sector, bookmakers on hard-pressed high streets and world leading online gaming operators.

Betting and Gaming Council CEO Grainne Hurst said: “I am delighted to announce this new Code Handbook, which comprises over five years of determined work to raise standards, across the board.

“It is also entirely fitting that we publish this landmark new Code Handbook on our fifth anniversary. The BGC was founded as the industry’s standards body, and this Handbook draws together our sector’s combined efforts, under the leadership of the BGC, to raise standards on safer gambling in the UK.

“With 20 Codes covering 100 measures, which all BGC members follow as a condition of membership, this comprehensive document should rightly be seen as the concrete demonstration of our member’s determination to deliver world-class standards.

“This Code Handbook is also not the final word on this work, because the commitment to raising standards does not stop for the BGC, or our members.

“That’s why we are working with the regulator and government on over 50 additional workstreams which will raise standards even further as part of the White Paper reforms.

“Taken alone, neither the recently published White Paper on gambling reform, or existing license conditions set by the Gambling Commission, can deliver the world class standards our industry strives for.

“It takes independent determination on behalf of our members, and collective ambition by the BGC to deliver that. This Handbook is the result of that determination and ambition.

“We are determined to deliver the foundations for a sustainable sector, built on stability, growth and diversity, ensuring our members set the global standard for our world-class industry.”

The BGC stressed these incredibly high standards are only found in the regulated sector, unlike the growing unsafe, unregulated gambling black market.

A recent study commissioned by the BGC found 1.5m Brits are annually staking up to £4.3bn with unsafe, illegal, unregulated black market operators, which don’t pay tax, don’t contribute to the economy or sport and do not hold the same rigorous high standards on safer gambling.

The Code Handbook includes measures like the whistle-to-whistle ban on TV betting commercials during live sport before the 9pm watershed, which led to the number of such ads being seen by children at that time falling by 97%.
