Belatra Games, the specialist online slots developer, has released its latest slots caper, Tony Gambler. This escapade is set within a 5×4 framework and welcomes players along on a cracking casino heist.
Tony Gambler instantly stands out thanks to the Wild Big Safe symbol, which expands to fill entire reels, increasing its multiplier with each offset. Should more than one Wild Big Safe symbol appear, their multipliers combine for a mega payout. The Wild symbol has the potential to complete the entire reel and increase its multiplier value by one with each offset. If more than one Wild symbol appears, the winning total on the line is multiplied by the sum of all the Wild Multipliers.
Another exciting part of the game is the Portal. When a Portal appears on the reels, it means Tony can break into the casino’s safe. As he safely navigates the security beams, the Portal Multiplier will grow in value, potentially hitting 100. Should Tony evade security completely then the multiplier will be added to the Global Multiplier to boost winnings even further.
Eight Free Games will be sprung if players find three scatter symbols on the first, third, and fifth reels. Once inside this part of the game, the Global Multiplier begins with one and increases with successful Portal robberies. Two Scatters in Free Games will award an extra spin, with a maximum of 100. Finding three Scatters in Free Games will reward another three Free Games, also capped at 100. Additional scatters during Free Games will continue the round.
Tony Gambler also includes an enticing Hold-and-Win Bonus. Six or more credit symbols here will activate the bonus where players can sneak away with extra credits and extra bonuses. The bonus reels have credit symbols, donors, collectors, and empty symbols, each contributing to the final payout. This bonus round will run while new credit symbols, donors, or collectors are found, or until all reels are completed. Players pick up one of the Extra Bonuses if the four different credit symbols, Mini, Minor, Major, and Grand, have been completed.
Sergey Chernyavski, Belatra Games’ CCO, said: “Tony Gambler is the coolest cat in town and players will love this fun adventure that is jam-packed with engaging features. It would be daylight robbery not to try this game in an attempt to pull off the heist of the century.”

THE EU AI ACT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE IGAMING INDUSTRY
![THE EU AI ACT AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE IGAMING INDUSTRY](https://europeangaming.eu/portal/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/danil_ai.png)

First of all, the regulation of AI is inevitable. The EU was the first to step into this arena with the EU AI Act, setting a precedent that other parts of the world will likely follow. This proactive approach positions the EU as a leader in AI governance, but it also means that regions adopting similar regulations later might benefit from the lessons learned and adjustments made in response to early implementations.
The downside is that those who come last to the regulatory scene might indeed benefit the most. For instance, the competitive landscape in AI innovation currently favors new entrants in the US or UK over Europe, partly due to the stringent compliance requirements of the EU AI Act. This regulation could potentially affect the flow of investments into European AI ventures, making regions with more flexible or yet-to-be-defined regulations more attractive for AI start-ups and investors.
However, the positive aspect is the collaborative approach the EU has taken in drafting this legislation. It’s not a one-way mandate from legislators to businesses; rather, it involves dialogue and input from various stakeholders, including tech companies and open-source communities. Notably, there are exemptions for open-source AI models, likely influenced by contributions from French and German tech firms like Mistral and Aleph Alpha, which have been vocal about the importance of open-source innovation.
The AI Act predominantly focuses on regulating foundation models rather than classic machine learning models. The legislation sets a computational power threshold at 10^25 floating-point operations per second (FLOPS), below which AI systems are generally exempt from stringent regulations. This threshold implies that unless an organization is training a model on the scale of GPT-3.5 or larger, compliance concerns are minimal. This serves as a reminder of the value of simpler machine learning techniques like logistic regression and random forests, which can effectively solve business problems without the complexity and regulatory scrutiny of more advanced models.
For the iGaming industry, the implications of the EU AI Act are relatively manageable. Our legal teams will diligently study the law to ensure compliance, even if it means a slight reduction in the accuracy of our models. This cautious approach is necessary because the fines for non-compliance are substantial, ranging from 1.5% to 7% of global turnover, depending on the severity of the offense and the size of the company. Additionally, some aspects of the Act are vaguely defined, which could pose challenges in interpretation and application.
Despite these challenges, the iGaming sector should remain vigilant. Staying informed about regulatory updates and actively engaging with the regulatory process can help mitigate risks and ensure smooth compliance. The EU AI Act sets high standards for transparency, accountability, and ethical AI use, which, whilst demanding, also push the industry towards more responsible AI deployment.
