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”.

Provider’s bone-chilling slot is back for a second instalment and with bigger bonuses, bigger frights and even bigger wins

Think you are brave enough to return to the Castle of Terror? This lab experiment-horror sequel from Big Time Gaming is a bone-chilling adventure packed with electrifying features designed to give you the fright of your life.

This is a slot where players find themselves in a spooky lab where they must brace themselves for Bonus Respins that are triggered by landing Scatters. When they drop, they awaken monstrous reels with different Bonuses coming into play depending on where the Scatter lands.

This includes:

Brains – extra Brains land on the reels.

Alive – A random Win Multiplier is applied to all wins.

Shock – Wilds reveal Random Multipliers.

Monster – A random symbol becomes Wild on reels two to five

Horror – A random reel will be filled with Wilds.

If one or more Scatters appear during the Bonus Respin, the lab erupts into chaos, triggering 10 Free Spins for a spine-tingling time. But if two or three Scatters drop, the experiment escalates with another 10 Free Spins awarded.

During Free Spins, the Win Multiplier begins at 1x but mutates after every winning spin, amplifying rewards with each electrifying jolt. Free Spins also come infused with Bonuses, which collide to make each round terrifying and thrilling.

Depending on which reels the triggering Scatters landed, players might find that the machine gun surges again, granting four Extra Spins plus two more for each additional Scatter beyond the second.

For those who dare to take control, the Bonus Buy feature lets players pull the lever instantly. For 100x the stake, charge up 10 Free Spins with two bonuses, or for 300x, unleash 10 Enhanced Free Spins with three bonuses.

With Castle of Terror II, players get to step into the lab but must brace themselves… their creation may be more powerful than they ever imagined.

Nik Robinson, CEO at Big Time Gaming, said: “Castle of Terror II is a terrifying slot that’s not for the faint-hearted. Players find themselves in a spooky lab where creepy experiments take place, but if they can hold their nerve, there are plenty of bonus features to discover.”

“The action starts with the Bonus Respins and the various features that can play out across the reels. But the real experimental stuff happens in the Free Spins, where bonuses collide and big wins can emerge from the chaos.”

“Castle of Terror II really does put players on the edge of their seats with heart-stopping action and plenty of unexpected jump scares. Think you have what it takes to enter the Castle of Terror for the second time? There’s only one way to find out.”
