Crucial Compliance and The Face Recognition Company join forces. Facial recognition system adopted by responsible gambling provider
Crucial Compliance and The Face Recognition Company join forces to allow retail and omni-channel operators to receive real-time alerts when a self-excluded player enters gambling premises
Crucial Compliance today announced that it has partnered with The Face Recognition Company (FRC) to enhance the responsible gaming controls that it offers to retail gambling operators.
FRC has developed a proprietary facial recognition solution that recognises individuals of interest in real-time and raises alerts. Multi-view cameras capture individual faces that are subjected to facial recognition analysis, which works even when facemasks are worn and in the low light conditions typically found in casinos and retail premises.
Facial data is converted to a digital signature and compared with the watchlist face signatures of that operator. If there is a match, an alert is immediately sent to the operator’s retail manager via a mobile app. There are many use-cases for the gambling industry, ranging from self-exclusion notifications, through to transaction limit notifications and potentially late night play alerts.
This innovative partnership allows operators using the Crucial Compliance platform Crucial Player Protection (CPP) to access FRC’s solution and manage alerts via its integrated system, further establishing Crucial Compliance as the leading compliance and responsible gambling partner within the gambling space.
Paul Foster at Crucial Compliance, said: “The Face Recognition Company is at the cutting-edge of face recognition technology and we are delighted to integrate their solution into our compliance and BI platforms, allowing operators to take integrated player protection to the next level.
“Online operators have a data rich environment and retail often has a disconnect to those incremental controls like our Advanced Markers of Harm and RG tools. This solution means that people who wish to curtail their gaming can do so, regardless of the environment.”
Tim Noest, CEO of The Face Recognition Company, said: “We are delighted to have partnered with Crucial Compliance – responsible gambling rightly remains a key focus for the entire industry and our solution allows retail operators to add another layer of protection around players that have self-excluded.
“Our ultra-accurate face recognition solution is an ideal fit for the gambling sector, and can also help operators identify any other individuals they wish to be made aware about, when entering a betting shop or casino. We provide an end-to-end solution to companies operating in this sector, which can be integrated across their entire retail estate.”

Allwyn announces €2.15bn syndicated credit facility and refinancing of existing syndicated credit facility
Allwyn International AG announced that it has entered into a new €2.15 billion Senior Facilities Agreement with a syndicate of international banks.
The margin on key facilities is 150 bps lower than the margin on the refinanced facility.
The liabilities under the Senior Facilities Agreement will rank pari passu with the existing debt of Allwyn International AG and Allwyn Entertainment Financing (UK) plc, under the existing intercreditor agreement.
Kenneth Morton, Allwyn CFO, commented: “I’m delighted with the level of interest that the transaction received, with the majority of existing banks upsizing their commitments and a further increase in the number of banks in our banking group.
This syndication reflects the strength of our credit and confidence in our strategy.
Our broad and diversified access to capital markets continues to allow us to achieve highly attractive pricing and terms across instruments and currencies.
Following the successful repricing of our USD Term Loan B and debut EUR Term Loan B issuance earlier this year, this transaction is another step forward in our proactive management of our capital structure, reducing our interest costs and further extending our maturity profile.“

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has rolled out the latest addition to its iconic Demi Gods Series: Demi Gods VI Hold & Hit.
In this new release, players are transported to a mystical realm surrounded by ominous mountains and swirling mists. The adventure unfolds within a 5×3 reel frame, where electric anticipation crackles around each spin. Atlas, Selene, Helios, and Hera are once again the main protagonists on a mission through ancient Greece in the hunt for glory. A pulsating soundtrack helps create an electric atmosphere on the reels.
Three or four Wild symbols only pay out when followed by Free Spins or a Bonus symbol. A divine shield represents the Wild symbol which counts for any symbol except for Free Spins and Bonus symbols. Three Scatter Free Spins symbols trigger the Free Spins game. During the base game, Scatter Free Spins symbols can only be found on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will reward players three Free Spins and multiply the total bet by three.
Once Free Spins are underway, any symbol can become a Colossus symbol (3×3), expanding over the centre of the slot across reels 2 to 4. Any Scattered symbol (Bonus or Free Spins) will only land as a Colossus symbol and initiate the feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will provide players with three extra Free Spins and pay x3 the total bet.
The Hold & Hit adds another dynamic element to the game. A minimum of six Scatter bonus symbols will initiate the Bonus game, where the symbols that triggered the feature remain in place. Players start with three spins and once the empty spots are filled or when the spin counter hits zero, the game will end.
Every spin has the potential to fill the final empty slots and give players prizes ranging from x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. The spin counter will reset with a win and players who manage to cover all 15 spots will unwrap the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Demi Gods VI: Hold & Hit lifts our legendary series to new heights with its dynamic features and compelling gameplay. Introducing the Hold & Hit feature makes this a game worthy of the gods — and our players.”
