Allwyn Finds Winning Formula with New Digitally-led National Lottery Retailer Training as Users Top 7000
Allwyn has announced that over 7000 of its independent retail partners are now using its new Retail Training Centre – an innovative, digitally-led retailer training platform – with more stores signing up every day. In just one day alone in February, almost 1000 National Lottery retailers signed up to start using the all-new online platform.
Developed by world-leading learning solutions provider, Sponge, Allwyn launched the Retail Training Centre at the beginning of February to support independent store owners and their staff to be responsible National Lottery retailers with “always on” digital training that’s available to them whenever suits them best– making it easier to regularly train staff in store. As well as documents containing key information about how to sell National Lottery games responsibly, the platform features engaging training modules on “Preventing Underage Play” and “Minimising Excessive Play”. It will also be updated centrally by Allwyn with new and improved training over the coming months and years.
As well as being available on mobile or desktop, the Retail Training Centre has been specially developed so that its user profiles don’t require the use of personal data to log in. As a result, training is more accessible to all staff– including casual and temporary employees – as there’s no need to “sign up”. The platform instead works by only having one user profile and login per store, with sub-folders containing all the necessary training that can be assigned to each member of staff. This approach also allows Allwyn to see whether a store has completed the necessary training to ensure they’re compliant with important areas such as “Underage Play”, with Allwyn Retail Sales Executives able to offer additional support during store visits if needed.
Additionally, Allwyn’s digital-first approach to training its retail partners has seen the company embed the use of the platform in its retailer onboarding process, making it mandatory for any new National Lottery retailer to activate their Retail Training Centre account and complete the digital training before their National Lottery equipment is installed. This ensures new retailers understand the obligations of being a responsible retailer before they even begin selling National Lottery products.
The digital nature of the platform also means new training can be issued by Allwyn network-wide, or to individual stores, depending on requirements. This means Allwyn can effectively train its entire retail estate on specific areas in one go – making training quicker, easier, and more convenient, as retailer scan complete the training in their own time. The results of the platform are already compelling: since February, the platform’s key assets which include documents like a “Healthy Play workbook”, “Operational Excellence” and “What is Challenge 25?” have been downloaded over 23,000 times, while the two training modules have been completed over 5600 times and counting.
Mohammed Rajak from Buywell Day Today in Glasgow said: “The new platform has really helped me train my staff by being able to download useful information and print it for them to read. We can either access the Retail Training Centre on my mobile, or use the printouts – which makes it easier. The modules are accessible within a couple of clicks which is useful for referring back to. I feel proud knowing my staff have done the training and we now have a certificate to prove it.”
Alex Green, Allwyn’s Director of Channel Operations, said: “We’re delighted with the initial uptake of our new digital training platform, with thousands of retailers having already signed up to complete the training and increase their knowledge of how to sell The National Lottery responsibly. As well as a newly embedded process in place to get new retailers signed up and using the platform even before they start trading, our digital-first approach will make distributing National Lottery training simpler and more effective. We’ll be able to issue new training immediately, keeping retailers completely up to date with the latest guidance and modules. We’d encourage all independent National Lottery retailers who haven’t already done so to sign up and start benefiting from our fantastic new platform.”
Fran Campbell, Sponge’s Client Director, said: “Allwyn’s primary objective for this training solution was to have a digital-first approach to their retail training. A platform that would be future-proof, convenient and engaging for retailers and, most importantly, one that would be accessible to all store staff without any barriers. We’re pleased we were able to deliver exactly this for Allwyn and their retailers with our learning platform, Spark, and are delighted it’s already producing incredible results.”

New bowling-themed 3×3 video slot offers Trophy respins and multipliers up to x10, with a stated 4,000x max win.
PG Soft has released Perfect Strike, a new bowling-themed video slot for mobile.
The game uses a 3-reel, 3-row layout and includes a respin mechanic tied to Trophy symbols. When three or more Trophy symbols land, the reels respin with those symbols locked and continue until no new Trophies appear. PG Soft says the feature can award up to 200x the bet amount, based on the total Trophies collected.
Perfect Strike also includes a randomly triggered Free Spins Feature that awards 10 free spins. During free spins, every win is multiplied by x2, x5 or x10, according to the company.
PG Soft states the title has a maximum win of up to 4,000x the initial bet. A spokesperson said: “Perfect Strike features a cool reel set-up that’s as slick as the lanes themselves. The Respin Feature reflects the nail-biting moments when the game’s reaching its climax as players chase the perfect game!”

New Egyptian-themed title adds four Special Bonus symbols and a Grand Jackpot capped at x3,000 total bet.
Spinomenal has launched 3 Fortune Mummies, a new Hold & Hit slot set in an Egyptian tomb environment. The game includes a Wild symbol and a Bonus Game triggered by six or more qualifying symbols landing in a single spin.
In the base game, a “gold-peaked pyramid” acts as the Wild and substitutes for any symbol except Bonus, Boost, Collect, Multi and Jackpot symbols. Spinomenal said three to five Wilds on a winning line pay between x0.5 and x10, with 3-4 Wilds paying only when followed by a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol.
The title’s core mechanic is built around four Special Bonus symbols: Boost, Multi, Collect and Mystery. According to Spinomenal, Boost selects a random value of x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10 of the player’s bet, adds it to all symbols on the reels and retains that value; Multi selects a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 and applies it to all symbols; Collect takes the values from all Bonus symbols on the reels; and Mystery is active only in the Bonus Game and can transform into Boost, Multi, Collect or Jackpot.
A Bonus Blast Feature can add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols to the reels, the company said. When the Bonus Game triggers, the qualifying symbols lock in place and three bonus spins begin; new symbols can reset the counter back to three.
During the Bonus Game, prizes can land in empty spots ranging from x1 to x10 multipliers of the total bet, alongside a Mini Jackpot (x20), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Major Jackpot (x150). Filling the grid awards the Grand Jackpot, capped at x3,000 the total bet, and the feature ends after three consecutive spins without a new symbol or when the maximum x3,000 multiplier is reached.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Fortune Mummies takes the best of Hold & Hit gameplay and wraps it in the majesty of ancient Egypt. The four Special Bonus symbols keep every Bonus Game feeling unpredictable and rewarding, and a Grand Jackpot of x3,000 means the stakes are always high, this is a title that will keep players coming back to unearth its riches.”
