Bacta is at the forefront of initiatives to encourage responsible gambling with the leading trade association for the land-based low-stake sector joining the Betting and Gaming Council, the Lotteries Council and the Bingo Association as organisers and supporters of the 2024 edition of Safer Gambling Week (SGW) which runs 18–24 November.

With a core objective of encouraging people to talk and take action to gamble responsibly, the initiative which is running for its eighth year, will feature what the official SGW web site refers to as a “blitz” of safer gambling messages online and in land-based venues in order to spark a nationwide conversation about responsible gambling and the safeguards that have been put in place by the regulated industry.

George McGregor, Bacta’s Executive Director (Government Relations), believes the initiative continues to make a significant contribution to the industry’s endeavours to reduce further the incidence of problem gambling.

He stated: “The first point to make is that Safer Gambling Week draws attention to what Bacta members are practicing every week and every day of the year. This commitment and culture is something that every Bacta member should be extremely proud of.

“The consumer-facing Safer Gambling website poses a series of questions to consider and outlines how to use safer gambling tools such as setting time and deposit limits and how to self-exclude from gambling.”

He added: “As an awareness raising initiative Safer Gambling Week has demonstrated its value. Safer Gambling Week 2023 smashed previous social media records, generating over 50 million impressions across Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

“The website received half a million visits and the campaign engaged with a large number of cross-party MPs and peers who gave their backing as did Premier League clubs West Ham United and Brighton and Hove Albion.

“Safer Gambling Week demonstrates that Bacta, its members and the industry at large is fully committed to delivering a safe, responsible and enjoyable gambling entertainment experience for all of its customers.”

B2B gaming supplier Push Gaming has launched its latest seafaring adventure, Sea of Spirits, a highly anticipated slot developed in collaboration with CasinoGrounds, one of the industry’s most influential community-driven streaming platforms.

The partnership marks a significant milestone for Push Gaming, combining the studio’s renowned innovation with CasinoGrounds’ direct player insight to craft an experience shaped by the community. Sea of Spirits fits seamlessly into the Push Originals category.

Set in a haunting underwater realm where ghostly captains guard the treasures of the deep, Sea of Spirits immerses players in a world of mystery, risk, and reward.

Every spin offers the promise of discovery through the new Frame and Activator mechanic, unique overlays that appear randomly on the reels. When triggered by one of three activator symbols, they increase anticipation and potential wins across 4,096 ways to win.

The game’s Frames, in bronze, silver, and gold tiers, upgrade through play, unlocking increasingly lucrative rewards. Persistent frame nudging keeps the tension high between spins. At the same time, the fan-favourite Coin Reveal feature makes a triumphant return with a powerful new twist: frame upgrades that elevate the excitement even further.

In the Bonus and Super Bonus rounds, sticky frames and tier upgrades create a sense of momentum and mastery as players pursue treasures guarded by restless spirits beneath the waves.

Meanwhile, Push Bet offers faster access to the game’s most lucrative features, giving players greater control over their journey.

George Fil, Director of Product Strategy at Push Gaming, said: “Working alongside CasinoGrounds has been an incredibly valuable experience.”

“Its understanding of player behaviour and streaming culture helped us refine every layer of Sea of Spirits, from its mechanics to its storytelling. It’s a true community-inspired slot.”

Daniel Giuffra, Brand Manager at CasinoGrounds, added: “Working with Push Gaming has allowed us to integrate some of its great mechanics with our unique streamer-first ideas. I’m excited to see what the community thinks about this one!”
