Arena Racing Company (ARC), Doncaster Racecourse and William Hill announced a new partnership with the sponsorship of the 2024 William Hill Futurity Trophy on Saturday 26 October. The deal means William Hill will once again sponsor the race they were first associated with in 1976.

The final Group One of the British Flat season consistently sees the most successful two-year-olds from Britain and Ireland compete over a mile. The race has proved to be a key stepping stone on the way to classic success for a number of colts in recent times, most recently, Auguste Rodin, who won the William Hill Futurity Trophy in 2022 before going on to win the Epsom Derby, Irish Derby and Irish Champion Stakes the following year.

As well as Auguste Rodin, recent Futurity Trophy winners Magna Grecia (2018) and Kameko (2019) both went on to victories in the QIPCO 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

The new deal showcases William Hill’s commitment to both flat and jump racing, sponsoring the final Group 1 of the British flat racing calendar as well as the opening meeting of the season at Cheltenham on the same day.

Aidan O’Brien has dominated this race in recent years and has won the Futurity Trophy a record 11 times. O’Brien looks set to hold a strong hand once again this year with The Lion in Winter currently the 7/2 Favourite.

ARC Director of Commercial Strategy & Partnerships, David Leyden Dunbar, said: “William Hill have a long association with Doncaster Racecourse and the Futurity Trophy in particular so we are delighted to welcome them back to the race. Recent years have proven it a fantastic opportunity for some of the UK and Ireland’s best two-year-olds, and we look forward to another excellent renewal in October.”

Racing Sponsorship Manager for William Hill, Mark Walton, said: “We are delighted to become the sponsors of the Group 1 William Hill Futurity Stakes, strengthening our relationship with Arena Racing Company as the curtain falls on the 2024 Flat season.

“It’s fantastic to once again be associated with such a prestigious event, the final Group 1 of the British Flat campaign, made more special by the fact that William Hill were the sponsors of the race when it became the Futurity back in 1976. I am tremendously excited to see which two-year-old emerges as racing’s next big star.

CFR Cluj exemplifies these championship values. The club, with its 100-year history, knows what it takes to become a champion,” said Harutyun Vardanyan, CEO of TotoGaming.

TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of immersive casino entertainment content, is delighting baccarat fans and novices alike with Speed Baccarat, the latest addition to its portfolio of classic table games with a twist.

With just three outcomes – Player Wins, Banker Wins or a Tie – Speed Baccarat is a thrilling and intriguing game of chance but with added Multipliers to get players’ hearts pumping.

As in standard baccarat, players try to predict whose hand – Player or Banker – will win by having the value closest to 9 and, as always, TaDa Gaming has put its signature innovation on its version of 007’s favourite card game.

Not only eight decks of cards excluding jokers, but the fastest gameplay per round keeps the excitement levels at maximum.

Speed Baccarat lives up to its name by upping the pace from traditional and other quick play baccarat slots, with players enjoying a suspense-filled 23 seconds per hand including the 10 second countdown before the bets are locked. No other speed baccarat slot plays out this fast and yet there is still more to come.

Click the lightning strike EX symbol on the screen to start the Lightning Bet Option. This requires an extra 50% of the wager value for an additional 1-5 cards to be drawn and a random Multiplier applied to each card, significantly raising the excitement levels.

Plus, in the Lightning Bet round, if any of the extra cards awarded a multiplier is then dealt in that hand, the card lights up for instant recognition and an extra Multiplier on the Lightning Bet’s cards is awarded. All additional multipliers will be added together when plural multipliers are triggered in the round being played.

Sean Liu, Head of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Delivering dynamic play is the driving process behind our Speed Baccarat release. We want all players to appreciate this traditional High Roller slot but with ramped up timing to make it ‘edge of your seat’ gaming that appeals across the board.”
