Gambling harm prevention organisation Better Change has appointed Lee Willows to its Board of Directors as a Non-Executive Director.

Willows will work to incorporate his three-decade experience in education and lived experience of problem gambling into his new role, having founded the Young Gambler’s Education Trust (YGAM) in 2014, serving as Chief Executive of the organisation until October of this year.

Additionally, the new hire was the Founder and Managing Director of YGAM’s corporate training service provider YGAM Innovation Limited, and is currently the Executive Chair and Founder of ESG Gaming, a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC).

Upon leaving YGAM two months ago, Willows detailed that the charity had entered its “third strategic cycle” which would see it expand its safer gambling training services with BetKnowMore UK.

Commenting on his new role, he remarked: “It is a real privilege to be signing up for the gifted group at Superior Adjust. Its Founder and I have acknowledged each and every other for numerous decades and what I am significantly amazed by is Superior Change’s mission and values as a social enterprise.

“I am fully committed to contributing to their journey and collectively we are hunting ahead to working with stakeholders to even further strengthen participant security and social accountability.”

Welcoming Willows to the board, Better Change Founder Victoria Reed, said: “On behalf of the entire team at Better Change, we are honoured to have Lee Willows join our Board of Directors.

“His achievements in our sector have been second to none and we look forward to working with him to keep player protection and sustainability at the heart of the gaming industry.”

Spinomenal has released Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3, adding a new Hold & Hit title to its slots portfolio.

The game runs on a 3×3 reel set and uses the Quetzal Bird as the Wild, substituting for all symbols except Bonus symbols. Two special Bonus symbols drive the main feature: Bonus symbols can land only on reels one and three, while Bonus Collect can land only on reel two.

The Bonus Game triggers when Bonus Collect lands alongside one or more Bonus symbols. Triggering symbols lock and the feature starts with three spins; during the feature only Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols can appear. Each spin can award multipliers of x1, x2, x5, x7, x10, and x15, and the round ends after three spins without a win or when total collected winnings reach the max x5000 multiplier.

Spinomenal said Grand, Major, Minor, and Mini in-game jackpot symbols can appear during the feature and pay immediately. A Bonus Blast feature can also trigger randomly to add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols, and Spinomenal said Bonus Collect can still collect values even if it lands without starting the Bonus Game.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Aztec Spell – Hold & Hit 3×3 casts players into a mysterious jungle on the hunt for Aztec riches enhanced by some cool gameplay features. The titles’s beautiful visuals and proven Hold & Hit mechanics come together perfectly to give players an experience for the ages.”
