BetBlocker Marks Safer Gambling Week with New Blocking Feature
BetBlocker, the UK charity behind the popular responsible gambling software by the same name, has announced a brand-new feature just in time for Safer Gambling Week 2020, which runs from 19-25 November. The feature makes it easier for people to block online gambling activities via a calendaring function.
The new feature was developed to address feedback from both players and the industry that suggested that providing greater flexibility to users to control when the restriction switches on or off would make the service significantly more useful to a large number of people. The feature was developed with the understanding that, while some individuals are looking to block themselves from gambling altogether, others simply want help to manage their gambling in a responsible fashion by limiting their access at times that they feel they may be vulnerable.
Blocking Via Calendaring
Until now, the BetBlocker software has relied exclusively on blocking for a fixed length of time. Software users would block themselves from gambling for whatever period of time they felt comfortable with. From the start of the block until its conclusion, the user was prevented from accessing online gambling activities.
The new calendaring feature allows users to be more precise in blocking out desired times. By applying blocks to a calendar, they can designate specific days they know they should not be gambling, without simultaneously blocking all access to gambling activities.
For example, a person who knows his gambling habits tend to get out of control on the weekends can use the new feature to just block out Friday through to Sunday. The rest of the week remains open. Another person might decide to block out the first few days following their regular payday.
“Responsible gambling is about more than the binary option of do or don’t,” BetBlocker Trustee Duncan Garvie said. “It’s about helping ensure that people who enjoy gambling can access this activity in a safe and controlled manner.”
Garvie went on to explain that “BetBlocker’s new calendaring feature is a leap forward for blocking softwares, extending the service from a simple on/off to a point where users can now tailor restrictions that suit their specific needs.”
BetBlocker officials say the new feature has just been rolled out for Android. It will be implemented in the Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, and Fire OS apps in the very near future.

Blueprint Gaming announces The Goonies Quest for Treasure 3 slot
Blueprint Gaming has announced The Goonies
Quest for Treasure 3, the latest slot in its licensed The Goonies
series. The game introduces new modifiers, a reworked One-Eyed Willy trail and a layered bonus structure.
Blueprint said the new title builds on the performance of its earlier releases, naming The Goonies
Megaways
Quest for Treasure Jackpot King
and The Goonies
Quest for Treasure 2 as its top-performing launches. The company said both games have performed strongly across regulated markets including the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Canada, and the UK and Ireland.
In Quest for Treasure 3, Collect symbols progress players along a reworked trail that ends in a new Chest of Riches feature. When unlocked, the One-Eyed Willy treasure chests switch to showing four key holes. Skeleton Key symbols can add keys to any of three chests, and when the bonus triggers, the number of keys in play determines which feature is awarded, including Collect upgrades or added Mystery and Cash symbols.
The bonus game uses red, blue and green chest-themed Bonus symbols: one or two can randomly unlock Treasure Spins, while three guarantees entry, with each chest carrying a different modifier. Blueprint also said Collect symbols during Treasure Spins can grant up to five extra spins and 10x multipliers. Sloth returns as a random reel appearance that can unlock modifiers including Bonus Boost, Cave In, Dynamite Blast, Hidden Treasure and Pinchers of Peril.
Jo Purvis, Director of Marketing, PR and Events at Blueprint Gaming
, said: “Following the strong performance of the previous two releases, we wanted The Goonies
Quest for Treasure 3 to deliver even more action-packed moments for players.
“With new modifiers, enhanced bonus pathways and a revamped One-Eyed Willy trail, this latest instalment builds on everything fans enjoy about the franchise while introducing fresh layers of excitement throughout the gameplay experience.”

Granny’s Wild
Play’n GO Releases its Latest Video Slot Granny’s Wild
Play’n GO has released Granny’s Wild, a 5-reel video slot where a quiet habit becomes a full-scale spectacle when Granny’s long-hoarded coin jar finally splits open.
Nobody really clocked how serious Granny was about her spare change. The jar sat there for years, always a little heavier, always a little louder, always one clink away from giving the game away. Call it thrift. Call it routine. Granny calls it preparation.
When the moment arrives, she does not make a fuss. A small grin. A neat adjustment of those unmistakable glasses. Then the switch flips and the familiar front room turns into a riot of colour, with coins skittering across the reels as her jar snaps to attention, gathering up every shiny reminder of the plan she has been building for decades.
Granny’s Wild leans into that contrast – cosy charm on the surface, calculated mischief underneath. Coins are not just part of the décor, they are the story’s engine, pulled into Granny’s trusty jar as the scene grows louder and brighter. Scratch cards and sudden bursts of motion add to the sense that Granny has a few more tricks tucked away than anyone ever suspected, while the tone stays light, cheeky, and proudly character-led.
Play’n GO has a knack for giving its worlds a clear personality, and Granny fits right in – an unlikely mastermind whose calm confidence carries the entire experience. It is a story about patience paying off, about ordinary objects turning into something theatrical, and about never underestimating the person who has been quietly preparing in the background.
Magnus Wallentin, Games Ambassador at Play’n GO, said: “Granny’s Wild is built around a character who feels instantly familiar, then immediately surprises you. Granny’s coin jar is her calling card – and once it cracks open, the whole world follows her lead.”

ENJOY Gaming launches Grand Lightning Boost slot with upgraded Boost and jackpot progression
ENJOY Gaming has launched Grand Lightning Boost, an updated version of its Grand Lightning slot that increases the impact of the Boost feature and changes bonus-round progression.
The title keeps a 5×3 reel layout with five pay lines. In the main game, ENJOY Gaming said the Boost symbol multiplies visible Bonus values by x2, x3 or x5 and pays them instantly. In the Hold and Win Bonus Game, Boost multiplies Bonus values and then takes its own Bonus value.
The supplier has also updated the “Grand progression” mechanic. During the Bonus Game, when a full column is filled with Bonus or Boost symbols, the column is collected and cleared, completing one letter in G-R-A-N-D. Completing all five letters awards a Grand Jackpot worth x1000.
ENJOY Gaming said Grand Lightning Boost also includes an Extra Bonus Game and “Lucky Spin” presentations, plus Bonus Buy and Super Bonus Buy options.
Dimokratis Papadimos, Director of Account Management at ENJOY Gaming, said: “With Grand Lightning Boost, our goal was to make every spin feel even more meaningful without overcomplicating the experience.
“By strengthening the Boost feature and adding a clearer sense of progression, we’ve created a version that’s both more engaging and more rewarding for players, while providing operators with a fresh title designed to drive greater retention.”
