YGAM, the UK-based charity that works to inform, educate and safeguard young people against problematic gambling and social gaming, will be using its appearance at ICE London (4-6 February, ExCeL London, UK) to outline to the industry the ambitious targets it has set for 2020. Under the leadership of chief executive and co-founder Lee Willows, YGAM has set out an agenda which will see it work with at least 3,000 educational organisations to deliver practitioner workshops, engaging with approximately 600,000 young and vulnerable people in 2020. It will also seek to extend its student programme to 25 universities, reaching approximately 175,000 students, as well as establishing a target of reaching a minimum of 5,000 parents in 2020. YGAM’s trading subsidiary YGAM Innovation will continue to provide best-in-class, City & Guilds certified training to customer facing colleagues in the gambling industry and related sectors in collaboration with Betknowmore UK.

Speaking ahead of YGAM’s appearance as part of the Consumer Protection Zone at ICE London, Lee Willows said: “2020 is YGAM’s sixth anniversary and we feel that is well-worth celebrating. We have an exemplar team of 26 employees, which is due to increase to 42 in Q1. Working in collaboration with members of the Betting & Gaming Council and GamCare, we are going to deploy a high-population, national education programme that will see us jointly deliver at least one session of gambling awareness to all 11-19 year olds in Britain over the next four years.

“Our Parent and Families work will be enhanced with support from Lottoland, whom we worked with in 2019 to develop a pilot with the support of Playtech. We will be working with GVC and Ascot to further develop our university and student engagement work and we are particularly keen to use our attendance at ICE London to talk to other operators who would be happy to work with YGAM and, in the process, enable us to extend this work further.”

He added: “YGAM has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with Clarion Gaming and, without doubt, ICE London provides an exceptional platform for charities to further raise awareness of their social purpose and to thank their supporters. With initiatives such as the Consumer Protection Zone and the pop-up talks around safer gambling and social responsibility across the show floor, ICE London continues to pioneer, lead and set the benchmark. It enables all organisations to not only take stock of current issues but, as importantly, to plan for the future.”

GAMOMAT, one of the leading online game developers and independent content providers, is powering up the next Frooty Troupe adventure with the launch of Frooty Troupe – Game On!

At the heart of Frooty Troupe – Game On! is an expanding symbol feature that draws on GAMOMAT’s classic Book-style mechanics, reworked without the need for a Book symbol or Free Games trigger. It all means Free Games-style excitement can be unlocked in the base game: when a Bonus Symbol — a regular symbol with a special background — lands as part of a winning combination, the reel is fully covered by that symbol, and potential wins are paid on all possible lines based on how many reels have the matching symbol at the end of the spin.

While gameplay takes centre stage, the second release in the vibrant slot series follows the feel-good beach vibes of Frooty Troupe – Sun Splash, but this time heads back in time with a retro-themed game featuring familiar fruity characters. This nostalgic adventure comes alive thanks to a retro-inspired, 8-bit soundtrack that ramps up as players progress through different levels.

Melony, Graprielle, Plumbert, Orangela, Lemord and the cherry twins Cherrchill & Cherrlotte have their hands on the joystick as they explore an arcade world ready to battle for high scores and success.

GAMOMAT is releasing Frooty Troupe – Game On! via its Remote Gaming Server, G-RGS, and through the Bragg HUB, ensuring seamless distribution across regulated markets.

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has unveiled its latest hidden gem from its portfolio, Mayan Destiny.

Set deep within the Mayan Empire, this 3-reel, 3-row video slot features the Wheel of Fate, awakened by the high priestess Ixil under the Sun God’s blessing. Players join the night of the ritual, where roaring flames will reveal visions of destiny and hidden gold. A pulsating tribal rhythm intensifies the quest of uncovering its hidden secrets and golden prizes.

The Prize Wheel Symbol rests at the heart of the game which appears during any main game spin. When the Prize Wheel Symbol spins, it shows either a 1x, 2x or 5x instant prize based on the amount of bet.

When the Bonus Feature is activated, a large wheel with 2x, 4x, 10x, and Double tiles appears on the screen. When players land on a prize tile, it returns its value before it turns black. When players hit the Double tile, all of the prizes are doubled and all the black tiles are restored, with values that can go up to 1,000 times their original value. When the pointer lands on a black tile, the bonus feature ends.

Each additional Prize Wheel symbol that lands on “Double” during the triggering spin, all prizes will be doubled at the start of the Bonus Feature, giving players a powerful head start on the path to the game’s x10,000 maximum win.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Mayan Destiny takes players on a magnificent journey into one of the most captivating civilisations the world has ever known. The upgradeable Bonus Feature wheel is the crowning jewel in the game where players can watch their prizes build and grow with every spin.”
