PADDY POWER IMAGINES A WORLD WHERE RACING FANS BEHAVED LIKE FOOTBALL FANATICS

talkSPORT’s Adrian Durham and AFTV’s Ty apply football fan clichés to the world of racing

With Cheltenham fever sweeping the nation, cheeky Irish bookie Paddy Power has released its latest video, imagining a world where racing punters act like poorly behaved football fans.

Starring Adrian Durham from talkSPORT and AFTV’s Ty, the clip breaks down common football fanatic traits, translating it directly to the racing world – opening with a group of racegoers chanting “You’re sh*t ahhhh!” at a horse and jockey.

Social media ‘ITKs’ are then seen using a freight tracker to closely monitor the movements of Willie Mullins’ horses in typical Deadline Day fashion, while Ty pulls out some cracking excuses to blame his horse’s performance the crowd being “a bit too loud for my horse,” and the sun being in his eyes.

Durham hosts his usual talkSPORT phone-in show to hear a furious fan demand Henry de Bromhead be sacked after a run of recent poor performances, and failing to make the top four in the 2020 Grand National, despite there not being a race that year.

Godolphin’s recent net spend and ‘expected wins’ (or xW) are also questioned by callers.

Fights also break out in the stands, as a late charge from the horse in blue takes the win away from a despairing set of yellow and red fans.

The widely mocked keyboard warrior is also depicted in the parody video, cleverly renaming ‘Aintree’ to ‘Emptree’ after spotting an image of an empty stand on a day with two grade ones on the card.

And, that’s all before bragging to his mum that he’s spent his day well, taking a horse from Dundalk to the Melbourne Cup on the latest Horse Racing Manager 2022.

Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Football fans have a very particular way of behaving, so we thought it would be fun to imagine a world where a day at the races felt the same way.

“And let’s be honest, if racing punters had the same attitude as football fanantics, it would only take one bad race here or there before the hashtags were out, calling for the jockeys and trainers to be sacked!

“Despite the feistier than usual scenes on course, no horses were harmed in the making of this video – all punters were simply foaling about.”

Spinomenal launches 3 Fortune Mummies Hold & Hit slot

New Egyptian-themed title adds four Special Bonus symbols and a Grand Jackpot capped at x3,000 total bet.

Spinomenal has launched 3 Fortune Mummies, a new Hold & Hit slot set in an Egyptian tomb environment. The game includes a Wild symbol and a Bonus Game triggered by six or more qualifying symbols landing in a single spin.

In the base game, a “gold-peaked pyramid” acts as the Wild and substitutes for any symbol except Bonus, Boost, Collect, Multi and Jackpot symbols. Spinomenal said three to five Wilds on a winning line pay between x0.5 and x10, with 3-4 Wilds paying only when followed by a Bonus or Special Bonus symbol.

The title’s core mechanic is built around four Special Bonus symbols: Boost, Multi, Collect and Mystery. According to Spinomenal, Boost selects a random value of x2, x3, x4, x5, x7 or x10 of the player’s bet, adds it to all symbols on the reels and retains that value; Multi selects a random multiplier of x2, x3 or x5 and applies it to all symbols; Collect takes the values from all Bonus symbols on the reels; and Mystery is active only in the Bonus Game and can transform into Boost, Multi, Collect or Jackpot.

A Bonus Blast Feature can add extra Bonus and Bonus Collect symbols to the reels, the company said. When the Bonus Game triggers, the qualifying symbols lock in place and three bonus spins begin; new symbols can reset the counter back to three.

During the Bonus Game, prizes can land in empty spots ranging from x1 to x10 multipliers of the total bet, alongside a Mini Jackpot (x20), Minor Jackpot (x50) or Major Jackpot (x150). Filling the grid awards the Grand Jackpot, capped at x3,000 the total bet, and the feature ends after three consecutive spins without a new symbol or when the maximum x3,000 multiplier is reached.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “3 Fortune Mummies takes the best of Hold & Hit gameplay and wraps it in the majesty of ancient Egypt. The four Special Bonus symbols keep every Bonus Game feeling unpredictable and rewarding, and a Grand Jackpot of x3,000 means the stakes are always high, this is a title that will keep players coming back to unearth its riches.”
