iGaming entrepreneur Erik Bergman pledges over $1M in CTTMF shares to Founders Pledge, a global community of entrepreneurs, and donates another $100,000+ as an operational supporter.

Erik Bergman launched Great.con in 2018 with a mission to end the global climate crisis. Using his expertise in iGaming, Erik wanted to build a revenue-generating platform that would help carry out this mission.

The business concept of Great.com is to build the world’s most trusted iGaming review website, which would generate profits through affiliate partnerships – 100% of which would be donated to vetted charities working to solve climate change.

Not only is the business concept unique, but the organizational structure and management of Great.com is also groundbreaking. Transparency is one of its core values with employee conditions and work culture shared openly. For example, Great.com records and publishes weekly meetings to its website along with employees’ salaries.

Erik was quoted in Forbes saying that “I believe the people we want to attract and want in our team – are the same people that resonate with transparency.”

The ambition of Great.com is not just to end the climate crisis but to challenge the traditional norms associated with work. Erik has set out to build a more open, inclusive, and sustainable organization which he hopes will set the blueprint for other companies to follow.

Since its inception, Great.com has donated more than $225,000 to charitable causes. Now, another donation of $100,000 is being made to help fund the operational costs associated with Founders Pledge – a global community of more than 1,400 entrepreneurs. Every member of Founders Pledge must make a legally binding “pledge” to donate a chosen portion of their current or future wealth to charity.

This $100,000 donation to Founders Pledge as an operational supporter will help mitigate the burden that COVID-19 has had on their organization and will enable their team to continue its efforts of expanding its community, securing more pledges, and channeling millions of dollars to high-impact charities working on key global issues such as climate change.

In addition to this $100,000 donation, Erik Bergman also joined Founders Pledge as a member and signed a future pledge to donate 20% of his shares in Catena Media (CTTMF) which is currently valued at $1.3 million.

Founders Pledge is a unique community of entrepreneurs who have a shared purpose of wanting to do the most good in the world. The organization has a research team that focuses on charity due diligence, data collection, and the curation of high-impact causes throughout the world that are being underserved philanthropically. They strive to use data and analysis to recommend charities which will offer the largest return per dollar donated.

For example, in response to COVID-19, Founders Pledge created a single fund that would enable members and the public to contribute resources into which would then be dispersed by Founders Pledge to vetted charities aimed at pandemic preparedness, stopping the spread of COVID-19, and lessening the social and economic burden on the most affected communities. Founders Pledge takes an adaptive approach with its fund allocation to

COVID-19 relief which means they are making strategic decisions every time they contribute

– choosing the cause for which that donation would have the greatest impact. Erik Bergman, founder of Great.com, comments:

“When I founded Great.com, it was because I wanted to build an organization that could make the greatest difference possible for our environment – both from a climate and organizational perspective. So, it is important for me to find ways to create compounding returns. Founders Pledge is one such organization, as they have built up unique expertise on how to create the greatest impact with charitable giving. It’s an honor for me that Great.com can now help this incredible organization further their altruistic efforts.”

David Goldberg, founder, Founders Pledge, adds:

“It is very welcome that Erik Bergman and Great.com join our network. We bring together entrepreneurs with cutting-edge skills that are all driven by helping to do good for our world. The exchange between members is very valuable and Great.com can now take advantage of the unique knowledge we possess, to be able to make more well-founded donations.”

“My wish is that entrepreneurs and companies around the world start to be driven by serving a greater purpose. By joining Founders Pledge, I want to inspire others to do the same. You can make a difference if you do the right research and manage it through the right organizations”, Erik Bergman concludes.

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has loaded up its latest release, Zombie Blasters, a slot that draws its inspiration from the golden age of arcade machines.

Zombie Blasters is a 5 reel, 6 row video slot that is brought to life with bright pixelised graphics and animated arcade style symbols. The game is inspired by old school arcade nostalgia and undead apocalypse thrills, weaving both into every spin, all set against a retro cabinet backdrop with jaunty electronic beats and distorted synth soundscapes.

The main game is powered by Multiplier symbols. At the end of each spin one or more x2 Multiplier symbols may land on the reels and the total win is multiplied by the total value of all Multiplier symbols on the grid.

The Multiplier Wheel takes the action to another level. During a winning spin, the Alarm symbol can appear. This will trigger the wheel to spin and reveal a multiplier from x5 to x50. The Alarm symbol and any Multiplier symbols already present on the reels are then upgraded to that value before wins are paid.

Landing four, five, or six or more Scatter symbols anywhere on the reels triggers the Free Spins Feature with 10, 15, or 20 free spins respectively. Any multipliers you land during your free spins are added together and remain at the bottom of the reels until the feature ends. If you can land three or more extra Scatter symbols you are awarded with five extra free spins.

Players seeking instant action can also tap the Feature Buy button to launch the Free Spins Feature at the price displayed, with wins of up to x10,000 of the initial bet.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Zombie Blasters takes players in the firing line of a pixelated arcade shootout, where the rewards belong to those quickest on the draw. The real showstopper is the Multiplier Wheel, and with the stacking multipliers in Free Spins, explosive wins are never far away – just one Alarm symbol away.”

Spinomenal marches to the beat of 3 Majestic Drums

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal is marching to the beat with 3 Majestic Drums, the latest addition to its renowned Wildlife series.

Taking place on a sweeping African savannah at sunset, the 5×3 reel frame is bathed in the warm glow of an amber horizon, towering acacia trees and the colours of the wild. The instrumental soundtrack beats to the pulse of the continent and players are tossed into an atmospheric adventure from the first spin.

The majestic Lion is the Wild symbol and substitutes for all symbols except for the Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The Lion pays x10 for five on a line, x2 for 4, x0.5 for 3. There are 3 to 4 Wild combinations but they only pay if a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol follows.

The heart of the game is based on four sparkling diamond symbols. The common Bonus symbol can show up on the reels, and three powerful Special Bonus symbols – BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT – have unique abilities during the Bonus Game. The MYSTERY symbol may only appear in the Bonus Game and can randomly transform into a BOOST, MULTI, COLLECT or Jackpot symbol.

The Bonus Game is triggered by six or more qualifying symbols – in any combination of Bonus and Special Bonus symbols. The trigger symbols are locked on the screen as three spins start. Each new symbol landed resets the spin counter to three. The Bonus Game ends if three spins pass without a new symbol appearing or if total winnings reach the maximum x3000 multiplier.

During the Bonus Game, Jackpot symbols can appear randomly and trigger the Major Jackpot (x150 the total bet), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Mini Jackpot (x20). Players will win the Grand Jackpot if all 15 cells are filled, which is x3000 the total bet.

The Bonus Blast Feature can also trigger at random during the base game, scattering additional Bonus and Special Bonus symbols randomly on the reels to help trigger the Bonus Game.

If you want to get into the action quickly, then you can make use of the Buy Feature, which offers instant entry into the Bonus Game, at a price scaled to your chosen bet.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Majestic Drums takes the pulse of the African wild to the reels in spectacular fashion. The Bonus Game with the BOOST, MULTI and COLLECT mechanics adds a multi-layered, ever-changing dynamic where each spin has the potential to change the game dramatically. We’re confident players will have a great time marching to the beat of this wildly entertaining title.”
