BGC Welcomes Lucy Powell as New Shadow Secretary of State for DCMS and Alex Davies-Jones as Shadow Gambling Minister

The Manchester Central MP, who was previously Shadow Secretary of State for Housing, was given the new role as Labour leader Keir Starmer carried out a frontbench reshuffle.
She replaces Jo Stevens, who is the new Shadow Secretary of State for Wales.
Michael Dugher, chief executive of the BGC, also welcomed Alex Davies-Jones on her appointment as Shadow Gambling Minister, where she replaces Alex Sobel. Alex Davies-Jones was previously a member of the DCMS Select Committee.
He said he looked forward to working with both Ms Powell and Ms Davies-Jones as the Government continues its Gambling Review and prepares to publish its white paper in the coming months.
Mr Dugher said: “On behalf of our members, who between them support 119,000 jobs, generate £4.5bn in tax and contribute £7.7bn to the economy in gross value added, I’d like to congratulate Lucy and Alex on their appointments.
“I know how incredibly talented both of them are and they are taking on big jobs at a really important time, as we await the publication of the Gambling white paper.
“As the standards body representing the regulated betting and gaming industry, the BGC strongly supports the Gambling Review as an opportunity to make more big changes and to further drive higher standards in safer gambling.
“According to the Gambling Commission, problem gambling rates have fallen from 0.6 per cent to 0.3 per cent in the past year, which suggests the work we have done since being established two years ago is having an impact.
“But one problem gambler is one too many, and I look forward to working with Lucy and Alex as we seek to strike the right balance between focusing in to better protect problem gamblers and those at risk, whilst at the same time ensuring that the millions of people who enjoy a flutter perfectly safely are able to do so without changes that might drive them to the unsafe, unregulated black market online.
“Our members play a vital role in supporting hard-pressed high streets through modern betting shops, as well as the hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors through casinos and bingo, and our world-leading British tech companies are employing thousands of people in good jobs in online betting and gaming. We want to play our part in continuing to support the economy and the public finances, as well as ensuring that our industry can continue to support sport and broadcasting.
“I would like to thank Jo Stevens and Alex Sobel for all their positive engagement with BGC members in the past, in particular for the support they gave the land-based sector that faced such difficult challenges being closed down during the Covid lockdowns”.

Step into the spotlight and chase the Big Bucks! With BTG’s Big Bucks Deluxe

Big Time Gaming introducing its brand new Megapots™ – the future of jackpots! Capable of delivering truly colossal wins with every pulse-pounding spin.
Experience the glitz and the glamour from the studio known for redefining slots in their Art Deco era of 6×7 slot called Big Bucks Deluxe – where Megapots™, Megaways™, and Mega Wins Collide!
Drenched in dazzling visuals and driven by 117,649 Megaways™, Big Bucks Deluxe invites players into a world of opulence, where shimmering Coins, soaring multipliers, and colossal jackpots keep the action at a fever pitch.
With its latest groundbreaking innovation, Megapots™ where Mini, Midi and Mega Megapots™ sit above the reels and showcase random prizes that change with every spin but can only be awarded when the Hold and Spin feature triggers. This happens when you land six or more Coins in any position. This transforms each symbol into its own reel with prizes, multipliers—or Megapots™ themselves—up for grabs.
If players collect three matching Megapots™ symbols you unlock your jackpot and if every reel reveals a Coin symbol, the Hold & Spin ends with your total bonus prize doubled for the ultimate reward – a jaw-dropping crescendo to the feature.
In the Free Spins, Coins that don’t trigger Hold and Spin stay locked for one spin, turning every spin into a slow-burn suspense thriller with sky-high reward potential. Every new Coin resets your respins, and if the entire grid fills, your total prize is doubled.
But that’s not all…
Land three or more Brilliant Golden Stags to unleash 12 dazzling Free Spins with two extra spins for every triggering Scatter beyond the three. During Free Spins, every Coin ramps up your win multiplier—limitlessly!
While the Free Spins play out, the excitement soars as the win Multiplier starts at 1x and then climbs higher with every Coin that appears. If the Hold & Spin feature isn’t triggered, each Coin stays locked in place to build anticipation for the next spin.
Of course, there’s the Bonus Buy™ to buy your way into the feature and dive straight into the action by unlocking the Hold & Spin feature for 35x your bet or unleash 12 exhilarating Free Spins for 100x your bet.
With high-volatility and flexible RTP settings up to 96.26%, Big Bucks Deluxe is built to thrill both new players and high rollers alike. Available on all platforms, in 30+ languages, and designed with sleek HTML5 responsiveness, this is a slot that performs as beautifully as it looks.
Nik Robinson, CEO, at Big Time Gaming, said: “Big Bucks Deluxe puts players in the spotlight while showcasing our latest innovative mechanic, Megapots™.
