Despite the ‘V.A.R technology’ debate dominating football headlines across the UK, Mecca Bingo will seek to adopt the controversial technology for bingo – enlisting the help of inarguably the most iconic former Premier League official, Mike Dean.

With exactly 2,000 yellow cards and a record breaking 214 red cards issued in his Premier League career, the card-happy ref is helping Mecca Bingo trial B.A.R (Bingo Assistant Referee) – a state-of-the-art, cutting edge technology system designed to keep bingo players on track and verify jackpot claims.

Starting in the home of Premier League newcomers, Sheffield United, the Wirral-based icon has swapped V.A.R for B.A.R to train staff at Mecca Bingo on the Premier League standards.

Mecca Bingo’s B.A.R. technology will capture every moment in high-definition, allowing Mike’s trained Mecca officials to track every call and every dab to precisely identify any errors. Yellow cards will be issued to customers who make false claims. Get a red and he’ll suggest customers move to their own table to focus.

Captured footage shows Mike Dean training Mecca staff on player management, and how to use B.A.R to ensure that all bingo claims are verified and prizes are fairly awarded. And of course, the whipped cream used for Mecca’s delicious desserts now doubles as vanishing spray – used by Mike to keep any over excited players at bay whilst results are being checked.

Mike Dean, former Premier League referee, said; “It’s been tremendous fun bringing a touch of top-quality refereeing to Mecca Bingo. Like football, bingo is a beautiful game full of passion and excitement. In truth, I had never expected to swap footballs for bingo balls, but the launch of B.A.R made it an easy decision – a little bit extra officiating never hurt anyone. We’ll be double checking the next jackpot claim!”

Mike Sime, Head of Bingo at Mecca Bingo, commented: “It’s perhaps not been the best of weeks for VAR – but we remain undeterred. We’re really excited to be trialling the introduction of this impeccable technology into bingo. And we’re absolutely delighted that one of the greatest Premier League referees, Mike Dean, has switched play to Mecca. Good process.”

TaDa Gaming Releases Lucky Macaw

TaDa Gaming, is hoisting the Jolly Roger for a barrel full of gold in new release Lucky Macaw. An unusual grid layout sees three reels and three rows, with the centre reel holding an extra position/fourth row, plus 10 fixed paylines.

Set in Pirate Cove with the galleon anchored offshore, Captain Macaw is ready to parley with players for pirate coins and bags of gold cash symbols.

His offer is for Hold & Respin, free spins, multiplier Wilds and four fixed Jackpot prizes of Mini (10x), Minor (25x). Major (100x) and Grand 1000x for six, 10, 14 and 18 cash symbols respectively. Win values are dynamically dependent on the wager and are shown on the wooden signpost to the left of the grid.

Highly colourful and polished graphics include the compass, telescope and anchor symbols. Pirate Coins and Gold Bags are cash symbols.

Just one cash symbol may trigger Hold & Respin randomly but landing five or more in the base game will guarantee the bonus. A toe tapping soundtrack adds to the jolly pirate vibe, while a barrel of gold coins fills with every spin. If it randomly bursts its sides, the bonus Hold & Respin game can also trigger.

All cash symbols on the reels will carry over to the bonus game however it triggers and three free spins will be awarded. Each time another cash symbol lands, the counter will reset the free spins to three.

Blank positions, Gold Bag and Pirate Coin cash symbols only will appear in the bonus game and symbols will lock in place with each spin. They can also increase in value after every spin and, if players fill the grid entirely, a random additional multiplier of 2x, 3x or 5x will be applied to the winnings.

Captain Macaw is also the Wild – but with the ability to randomly apply a 2x multiplier. When several Wilds land on the reels, their multipliers will be multiplied.

For players who want quick results, the Extra Bet feature will ensure that when Hold & Respin is triggered by the coin barrel, a minimum of one Gold Bag and one Multiplier Wild to 2x will appear.

With 5000x max win and low volatility, Lucky Macaw is designed for casual and time pressed players.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management, TaDa Gaming, said: “Having established TaDa as the home of innovative mechanics and balanced maths models, Lucky Macaw raises the game for polished visuals and smooth animations, delivering true entertainment.”
