AGA Recruits FanDuel For New Safe Betting Campaign
Flutter Entertainment (FanDuel) has become the first US sportsbook and casino to sign up for the American Gaming Association's new responsible gambling campaign, “Have A Game Plan, Bet Responsibly.” Under the partnership, FanDuel commits to a multi-million dollar advertising drive to raise awareness of responsible gambling across all its products.
FanDuel and Boyd Gaming Announce Two New Online Casinos
FanDuel is making double headlines this week, announcing two new Stardust branded casinos, one in New Jersey, the other in Pennsylvania, in partnership with Boyd Gaming. The casinos are set to launch next month, pending final licensing approval.
Stardust Casino was once one of the most popular establishments on the Vegas strip, but the brand closed its doors over a decade ago. This exciting revival delivers a new casino option for NJ and PA players and offers slots, tables, video poker, live dealers, and Boyd’s B Connected Loyalty Club.
MGM Resorts and BetMGM Launch Responsible Gambling Series
Continuing this month’s trend of responsible gambling awareness, MGM Resorts has made an ongoing commitment to raising awareness within the industry and providing extra training to its staff.
Richard Taylor, BetMGM’s responsible gambling manager, said, “We’re committed to providing BetMGM employees with the responsible gambling tools, information, and empowerment they need to ensure the highest level of customer service and care possible. Throughout the month they’ll hear from experts about the nature of problem gambling, the importance of research and policy, and the role they can play in preventing problem gambling. We’re pleased to collaborate on this critical initiative.”
If you’re not up to date on the ins and outs of responsible gambling and the tools available to you as a player, then head to your casino of choice and start exploring. It is a licensing condition for casinos to educate players regarding responsible behaviors, the dangers of online gambling, and how to get help/use casino tools (like budgets, bet limits, and time outs), hence each casino has an onsite responsible gambling section.
Slot Game of the Week
Spin-Vention: Prize Line High 5 Games. RTP 96%.
This is an eccentric and beautiful steampunk-themed slot (if you enjoyed NetEnt’s Steam Tower Slot, you’ll love this game, and vice versa). The inventor at the heart of this game is Sir Lucien Callan, “an impassioned inventor whose musings led to the creation of an automatic fortune forging machine! The first of its kind, this prototype looks in need of manual intervention to kick start the process. That’s where you come in! Crank up the machine with a spin or two and you might get things working.”
With an all-new bonus feature, the prize line (see the bonus filled line running across the top of the reels that modifies game wins during free spins and occasionally in the main game), wilds, multipliers, wild reels, and free spins, plus max prizes (x10174), this game may just be a fortune forging machine!
To hit wins, you need to line up matching symbols as usual, but to start scoring those all-important bonuses, you need to use the prize line. The prize line is inactive on each spin unless you have a wild on the main reels. Wild activates the corresponding symbol on the prize line and awards it.
If you get a globe symbol on the prize line and a wild on the main reels, you’ll trigger free spins. The prize line moves to the bottom of the reel frame during free spins and delivers electrifying wins as there are more wilds on the reels! Set your bets from $0.20-100 and take this stunning, steampunk, high variance slot for a spin at High 5 Games Casinos!
