Allwyn is pleased to announce Dara Nasr, Managing Director of Twitter UK, as the latest appointment to its high profile advisory board providing support to Sir Keith Mills and team. Allwyn is bidding for the Fourth National Lottery Licence to operate the UK National Lottery.

During a distinguished career working for some of the largest global technology companies, including Twitter and Google, Mr. Nasr has established himself as a leader in the world of digital communications. As Managing Director of Twitter UK, Dara has built one of the strongest sales teams in the UK media landscape. During the Coronavirus pandemic, he has placed Twitter UK at the centre of the future of work debate through the launch of its “New Business As Usual” framework, while also leading the UK’s internal work rules to protect the mental health of staff who have been working remotely.

By working closely with quality technology partners, SAZKA Group, Allwyn’s parent company, has invested in digital platforms to grow and scale at pace across Europe. By recognising trends towards online play early, SAKZA Group’s lotteries adapted their product offerings long before the pandemic disrupted the retail sector. Online sales of draw based games increased by 134% between 2015 and 2019, with sales continuing to grow during the pandemic and maintaining momentum as restrictions eased. This includes Austria, where a 42% rise in online draw based sales coincided with a 9% increase in funding for good causes between 2015 and 2019, while Sazka Czech’s ‘Digital Entertainment Hub’ boosted lottery sales via mobile phone by 820% during the same period.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr. Nasr said: “How companies communicate with customers is evolving thanks to the disruptive rise of social media platforms. Brand communications, advertising, and marketing has become more exciting due to the complementary and unique ability of digital to engage with the consumer. As I’ve seen during my time at Twitter, mobile means there is huge potential to establish a close 24/7 relationship between company and customer. I’ve teamed up with Allwyn and their parent company SAZKA Group because they understand the importance of digital to lotteries. I can’t wait to get started.”

Allwyn’s U.K. Bid Chair Sir Keith Mills added: “For many years, Allwyn’s parent company SAZKA Group have pursued a digital- approach to lotteries across Europe. Not only has this produced impressive online sales growth, making their lotteries resilient to the challenges of the pandemic, but it has also translated to consistently strong sales growth in the retail sector too. Regardless of whether a player purchases their lottery ticket online or in-store, we’ve seen overall player participation only increases if people feel more connected to their lottery. Allwyn’s sister companies are a testament to the powers of digital in the lottery world and I can’t wait to work with Dara and apply his knowledge of the digital and social media landscape.”

The distributor’s newest slot features club-inspired cascades and multipliers reaching as high as x1000.

3 Oaks Gaming, a well-known distributor of iGaming content, has launched DJ Tiger x1000, a colorful scatter pays slot with cascading mechanics and multipliers reaching up to x1000.

Underneath club lights and rotating disco balls, this engaging 6×5 slot animates each spin with lively, fast-paced gameplay. The Cascading Reels feature allows for the chance to activate several wins during one spin if eight or more identical symbols appear, with additional enhancement when the Permanent Wild appears and remains on the reels until the cascade concludes.

Disco Ball Bonus symbols are prominent, providing multipliers of up to x1000 either individually or triggered by DJ Tiger. When several Multipliers appear in one spin, their amounts merge to enhance the total winnings. Mystery Multipliers between x10 and x1000 may also surface, disclosing their amounts after the complete cascade ends.

Free Spins increase the pace even more, as each Multiplier from a winning spin adds to a Total Multiplier that accumulates during the feature.

Players can also check out the Bonus Shop, which provides three kinds of Free Spins, featuring Mega Free Spins where improved Multipliers from x25 to x1000 can be accessed. Three lively Spin Boosters are available as well, providing players the chance to elevate gameplay at an increased cost per spin.

Featuring an energetic atmosphere and characteristics, DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant new entry in the 3 Oaks Gaming collection, aimed at ensuring the celebration continues for players globally.

Victoria Vashukevich, Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “DJ Tiger x1000 is a vibrant evolution of our scatter pays slot portfolio, bringing a fresh club-themed twist and electrifying Multipliers that elevate the experience.

“The introduction of Disco Ball Bonus Symbols, Mystery Multipliers and a dynamic Bonus Shop add new layers to the gameplay, ensuring every spin feels energetic and engaging.”

Kendoo, the rapidly expanding slot supplier, is raising the stakes with the debut of 3 Blitz Hits, an exhilarating 5×3 slot where lightning-infused Blitz symbols ignite rising payouts and Free Spins enhance up to three stackable modifiers.

Created for speed, energy, and quick reward cycles, 3 Blitz Hits maintains continuous momentum from the initial spin to the last hit.

Central to the game is the engaging Blitz Hit Feature. Hitting three or more Blitz symbols immediately activates increasing payouts that can soar to an impressive 1,000 times the wager.

Lightning stickers can show up on any symbol, contributing to the colored Lightning Progress bars, which increase momentum for the Free Spins round. The violet, red, and blue trails each reveal a unique modifier, allowing for one, two, or all three attributes to trigger a layered Free Spins event.

The bonus begins with seven Free Spins, which can be obtained in both the Main Game and while in Free Spins. Free Spins always start with a minimum of one active feature and may encompass two or all three simultaneously.

The Extra Feature triggers extra Free Spins symbols on the fifth reel, granting +1 spins and prolonging the gameplay. The Double Feature enlarges the grid from 5×3 to 5×6, enhancing symbol coverage and providing a larger opportunity for wins.

At the same time, the Boost Feature adds extra Blitz symbols to the reels without affecting current line wins, enhancing Blitz Hit payouts and maintaining the excitement.

For gamers wanting to accelerate their experience, the Power-Up Buy feature provides immediate entry to Free Spins with one to three randomly chosen features, or the choice to enable all three simultaneously for optimal effect.

Kate Romanenko, Commercial Director at Kendoo: “3 Blitz Hits is all about delivering pure energy and fast-paced excitement.

“The blend of instant Blitz payouts and stackable Free Spins modifiers creates a dynamic flow where every spin feels charged with opportunity. It’s a powerful evolution within our 3 Pots portfolio.”

3 Blitz Hits is now available for demo and real play across all Kendoo partner platforms.
