John Rozek, Financial Compliance Director at Game Payment Technology to explain the depth of Yalp’s commitment to social responsibility at EAG Seminar

In addition to making its debut appearance at EAG, Game Payment Technology (GPT), the joint venture established by bacta, will be using its time at the ExCeL Exhibition Centre to participate in the EAG Seminar Programme. John Rozek, GPT’s Financial Compliance Director and a member of the team responsible for creating Yalp the cashless payments app which is being officially launched at EAG, will be drawing on his vast experience gained working in the payments sector to highlight how social responsibility lies at the heart of what Yalp is all about. He explained: “When we embarked on the development programme we were very aware of how a cashless payments app could, and should, incorporate key social responsibility initiatives in order to help players to take greater personal control of their gambling activities.

“In many ways I would describe Yalp as being a case of ’social responsibility by design’. It enables players to establish their own breaks in play, it provides session spend reminders and it has safe bet limits. Although players can reduce these limits at any time, it takes 24-hours to increase them. There is a period between when a player loads funds to when those funds are available for play and there’s the ability to set a cooling off period of between one week and six months. In terms of reporting features Yalp can provide a transaction history for both the individual’s card and his/her machine. Armed with the Yalp app players are able to take control and it is a case of providing them with all of the tools and mechanisms necessary to create their own social responsibility framework. The inclusion of secure biometric technology helps operators meet age verification requirements and promote safer gaming and data minimisation.”

Rozek, who has a long pedigree in the payments sector playing a major role in the integrated Chip and Pin solution, for which he won the Queens Award for Industry (Innovation) in 2004, has been taken back by the level of engagement there is with Yalp. He confirmed: “The response to the Yalp project has been extremely positive right from the outset but the extent and the depth of interest from the entire industry really struck home when we attended the Autumn Coin-Op Show. This was the first occasion that I was able to meet with members of the industry and demonstrate how far we had come with Yalp, listen to their operational needs and outline the road map moving forward. There is a level of genuine engagement that I’ve not necessarily experienced working in other industry sectors. Having a secure cashless payments app has moved from a ‘nice to have’ to a ‘must have’ and I look forward to once again meeting with the industry next week at EAG.”

New farm-themed slot adds Free Spins, Hold and Win, and optional bonus buys priced at 75x and 150x the bet.

Booming Games has launched Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win, a new farmyard-themed slot featuring a Free Spins mechanic and a Hold and Win bonus. The supplier said the game runs on a 5×3 grid with 20 paylines and offers a maximum win potential of 6,000x.

In the base game, Golden Eggs are stored in a Collection Pot. Free Spins trigger when three Golden Eggs land on the middle reels, with their cash value moved above the reels at the start of the round. Booming Games said that cash value is awarded each time a Golden Egg lands during the feature.

During Free Spins, Boost symbols can increase Egg prizes to the next prize level from one to five times, while an Extra Spins symbol can award between one and five additional spins. The company said Boost symbols can increase to Prize Pot values of 10x-1000x, awarding Mini, Minor, Major and Grand prizes.

The Hold and Win round triggers with five or more Eggs and starts with three respins, with Egg symbols held in place and the respin counter resetting when additional Eggs land. The Grand Prize is awarded when all positions on the grid are filled with Eggs. The release also states that triggering with five or more eggs including three golden eggs activates a Combo Bonus, awarding both Hold and Win and Free Spins in a Super Bonus Round.

Booming Games said players can purchase either the Bonus or the Combo Bonus for 75x and 150x the bet amount respectively, which is guaranteed to trigger the Hold and Win feature. A Boost+ option can also be activated in the base game, increasing the bet amount by 1.25x and increasing the chance of triggering bonus features.

Craig Asling, Director of Games at Booming Games, said: “Packed with a host of innovative new features which offer fast-paced, high stakes gameplay, Henhouse Hustle: Hold and Win is the latest example of Booming Games’ market-leading capabilities. The Fox acts as the antagonist, stealing Golden Eggs and adding a real sense of theatre to the game, which we’re confident will be a hit among players.”

Tom Horn Gaming is bringing the energy of the streets to the reels with the launch of 3 Street Sevens, a high-volatility video slot where vibrant graffiti aesthetics meet an action-packed Hold & Win experience.

Set against a gloomy urban underground, the game invites players to ‘Spray the reels. Chase the 7s.’ as colourful spray can symbols gradually paint the iconic sevens, building anticipation before unleashing one of seven unique Hold & Win bonus variations. Combining bold street art, cinematic animations and visible gameplay progression, the game delivers a fresh visual identity that is set to stand out in operator lobbies while giving players more ways to enjoy one of the most popular mechanics.

The game’s Hold & Win FeatureStorm introduces seven possible variations, each determined by the combination of spray symbols that trigger the feature. Green Collector spray symbols gather the values of all coins on the grid, Blue Multiplier sprays boost coin values by up to 10x, while Red Jackpot sprays award fixed jackpot prizes, ranging from Mini, Minor to Major and Grand Jackpot. These mechanics can appear individually or in combination, creating seven distinct bonus experiences that keep gameplay varied and replayability high. The ultimate FeatureStorm bonus brings all three special symbols together, producing rewarding combinations that can dramatically change the outcome of the feature.

Players looking for instant action can also take advantage of two Bonus Buy options. One offers a randomly selected Hold & Win bonus game with up to three active symbols, while the premium option guarantees the complete FeatureStorm experience with all three spray symbols active from the very first respin, giving players direct access to the game’s most rewarding feature combinations.

Commenting on the launch, Ondrej Lapides, CEO at Tom Horn Gaming, said: “3 Street Sevens is another strong addition to our portfolio, combining distinctive visuals with varied Hold & Win gameplay that keeps players engaged. For our operator partners, it offers a fresh, feature-rich title designed to stand out in the lobby and encourage repeat play.”

3 Street Sevens will be available to operators worldwide from 30 July.

Partnership starts in the UK with an exclusive release of Bass Rewards Bonanza: The Golden Catch before expanding to other markets.

Gaming Corps has signed a content partnership with evoke plc to roll out its games across the operator’s brands including William Hill, 888 and Mr Green. The companies said the collaboration will begin in the UK before extending to additional markets.

The initial launch includes an exclusive release of Bass Rewards Bonanza: The Golden Catch. Gaming Corps describes the title as a high-volatility slot featuring Fish Money symbols, Collect mechanics, persistent “Multicrease multipliers” and a 10,000x top prize.

Following the exclusive, evoke is set to add more content from the Gaming Corps catalogue across slots and other formats, including table and mine games, plinko and multiplier titles, plus proprietary products and series such as Smash4Cash and Instant Blitz.

Adam Pentecost, Chief Revenue Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Some partnerships stand out because of their scale, while others carry added weight because of the brands involved. This one delivers on both.

“evoke sits behind some of betting and gaming’s most established brands. William Hill is woven into the fabric of the UK market, while 888 and Mr Green carry considerable recognition internationally. Bringing Gaming Corps content to names with that reach and heritage is a big moment for us.

“We have worked hard to earn opportunities of this calibre, and our focus now is on making the most of it, delivering content that connects with players and building a relationship that can become an important part of our broader ambitions.”

Lindsay Scholey, UK Gaming Content Manager at evoke said: “Gaming Corps has a clear creative identity and a portfolio that offers something different across several game formats. Bass Rewards Bonanza: The Golden Catch gives us an eye-catching exclusive to open the partnership, and we are excited to see how players respond as we introduce more of the studio’s content across our brands.”
