£2,042,957.68 Jackpot won. The biggest ever at Heart Bingo
40 pence sake enough to take home the jackpot
This is the first time this jackpot has been won. On this stake the return was 5,107,394.2/1
The jackpot has been accumulating since 2017

The winner (who has chosen to remain anonymous) said: “I played that particular slot because it was easy to use and understand. Other slot games can be complicated. When I initially won, I didn’t allow myself to believe it, until I received the phone call the next morning. I hadn’t said anything to my partner or my children because I didn’t believe it was real! This money will be life changing for us. We’ll be able to buy our own family home, a new car and it’ll set us up for the rest of our lives.”

Heart Bingo’s “Make Me A Millionaire” Slot Game is based on Heart’s radio competition of the same name, where listeners can win a range of cash prizes, including a top prize of £1 million. In Heart Bingo’s “Make Me A Millionaire” Slot Game, players have the chance to play for three progressive jackpots, including the £1Million+ Jackpot King Pot.

Kane Holland, Account Manager for the game provider, Blueprint, said: “What a great way to welcome in 2022! After only three weeks of live play, Heart Bingo’s exclusive slot, “Make Me A Millionaire”, has already lived up to its name. One lucky player has landed a life changing £2m Jackpot King win! Congratulations. Our partnership with Heart Bingo has gone from strength to strength, with great titles and a positive team attitude. We will continue to bring top quality content and great experiences to players across the board.”

Turlough Lally, Director of eGaming at BV Gaming, the operator of Heart Bingo, added: “It’s so great to start the year with a good news story! Seeing our customers win is always great to experience, but this is by far the biggest winner Heart Bingo has ever had. We’re delighted for the lucky customer who beat the odds to take home our biggest ever jackpot. What a way to kick off 2022!”

Trust Mode feature reduces unnecessary location checks by over 20%

Xpoint, a leader in geolocation security solutions, has unveiled its proprietary Trust Mode feature, a patent-pending product that allows online gaming operators to realize previously unattainable efficiencies while remaining compliant with all state regulations and enhancing player satisfaction.

Trust Mode is a product feature that decreases geolocation checks while complying with state-mandated check frequencies by minimizing location checks when a player is connected to a residential or office WiFi, even if they are near the border. Results have shown that Trust Mode reduces geolocation service checks by over 20%, allowing Xpoint customers to realize significant cost savings compared to legacy industry technologies.

“Trust Mode is a clear example of how competition fosters innovation,” the Chief Executive Officer for Xpoint, Manu Gambhir, said. “There is no need to frequently re-check the location of a bettor connected to Wi-Fi at their home despite being located near a state border.

“As well as benefiting operators, end users also benefit from Trust Mode as their battery usage will decrease due to the operator’s ability to reduce the number of location checks for players without accuracy being sacrificed. This technology will serve as a game-changer for operators looking to get the most out of their geolocation service provider.”

Xpoint is licensed and authorized in 20 states and the District of Columbia across its current customer portfolio including names such as Bet365 and PrizePicks. Trust Mode delivers efficiencies to an industry that has remained largely static due to previously low levels of competition. Trust Mode saves iGaming operators money while enhancing user experience. Roll-out for the service is expected later this year.

The company’s flagship geolocation platform for iGaming, Xpoint Verify, is an advanced toolset for geo-compliance. The service is focused on being the most accurate, allowing players in permitted locations and denying all others including those attempting to spoof their location. Xpoint Verify detects and prevents fraud while providing valuable marketing insights to operator customers.

The Spanish team at ITL will be exhibiting their solutions on stand A49 and plan to have their latest note recyclers and coin handling products centre stage, as well as demonstrating how their biometrics solutions can be utilised to benefit the gaming industry to prevent underage gambling.

Jose Garcia Escudero, General Manager for ITL Spain said, “We are looking forward to showing how combining our compact note recycler (NV22 Spectral) and advanced coin recycler (SMART Coin System) gives the best fit for cash handling efficiency for gaming machines in Spain. These solutions now dominate the Spanish gaming market giving operators considerable float management savings, fewer refills, and a massive reduction in coin starvation for improved machine uptime. We’ll also show the new NV4000 mixed denomination note recycler to the Spanish gaming market for the first time, ideal for high volume applications like change and redemption terminals.”

ITL have a range of AI-powered biometric solutions which perform accurate age verification at gaming venue entrances or integrated in gaming machines.

Continuing Jose said, “We will also have our age check devices on the stand for visitors to demo which can help operators prevent someone potentially underage or even self-excluded trying to play a machine or access an age restricted area. ICU Lite can be fully integrated in a gaming machine or betting terminal to automatically estimate age to prevent minors from playing. MyCheckr can be utilised at 18+ entrances to prevent access. Both devices have a one-off cost with no subscriptions and no internet required. Our technology is affordable, available to all and trusted, with no biometric personal data stored.”

Concluding Jose said, “We have very strong relationships with the Spanish market and we’re proud to know that our products will be displayed on a number of stands from our long standing customers. We’re looking forward to seeing everyone in person in Madrid and we welcome you all to stand A49.”
