Casino Guru, the largest database of online casinos and a respected gambling authority, has recently joined forces with Mindway AI, a leading Responsible Gambling solution provider and spin out of Aarhus University with 10+ years of research in neuroscience and problem gambling, to celebrate the Safer Gambling Week by giving players a chance to test their gambling style for free.

By completing a self-test cleverly disguised as a simple card game, players will be able to assess the riskiness of their play and gain access to a deep analysis of their gambling behavior, all with detailed feedback on their strategy and sensitivity to rewards, losses, and frequency of wins. What’s more, players will receive a personalized report, which includes advice tailored specifically to the player – all based on their behavior during the game.

When asked about how the collaboration came to fruition, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead Simon Vincze was enthusiastic to share the answer:

“Mindway AI are experts in what they do. I believe we have a real potential to help many individuals here, and I’m very grateful to Mindway AI for understanding that and supporting our idea. Knowledge is power, and the more information players have about their gambling patterns and tendencies, the better they can manage their play to avoid undesirable outcomes. Casino Guru is always looking for new ways to make gambling better and safer for everyone, and the fact that we are able to educate them in a fun way makes me very optimistic about the impact this collaboration can have,” Vincze explains.

Using the principles of neuroscience and psychology along with an in-built software, Gamalyze – the card game in question – analyzes the decision-making process of an individual and provides individualized feedback for each participant. The game can be easily accessed through a widget on Casino Guru’s website, which is hard to miss, so all visitors will have a chance to participate.

“At Mindway AI, we believe that enhanced player protection should be a matter of joining forces and collaborating between different types of industry players rather than a matter of competition on RG initiatives. We’re glad to collaborate with Casino Guru by adding our Gamalyze solution to their website, as it gives us the opportunity to reach a large number of players to offer insights of how they make decisions as they engage in gambling. We’re also able to promote our solution to other gambling operators and to share our mission to empower gambling operators to enhance player protection to the industry,” says Rasmus Kjaergaard, CEO at Mindway AI.

Although the Safer Gambling Week, a cross-industry initiative aimed at raising awareness about the benefits of safer gambling, officially runs from 17^th to 23^rd of October only, Casino Guru’s visitors can enjoy the benefit of being able to test themselves by playing the game for free until the end of October.

Both companies aim to bring the notion of safer gambling to the forefront of players’ minds once again, and this collaboration allows them to do so in a very creative and fun way.

Premium release features a 5×3 layout with 10 paylines, a Risk gamble option, and a stated max win of 10,000x.

Swintt has released Wild Chicken, a new Premium slot that introduces roaming wilds and a free spins feature, with the supplier stating a maximum win of up to 10,000x the bet.

The game runs on a 5×3 reel layout with 10 fixed paylines. Its key mechanic is a “roaming rooster wild” that remains on the reels and shifts one position to the left after each spin, potentially contributing to multiple wins.

Free spins are triggered by landing three or more grain sack scatter symbols in the base game. Players receive 10, 15 or 20 free spins depending on the number of triggering scatters, and any wilds on the reels add one extra free spin while they remain present. Swintt also says collecting four additional grain sacks increases the wild’s size from one to three symbol positions, before it becomes an expanding symbol that fills its reel when it appears. Three or more grain sacks can retrigger the feature.

Wild Chicken also includes an optional Risk feature, where players can attempt to double winnings by guessing the colour of a hidden playing card, up to the game’s maximum payout.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Combining classic visuals and sounds with a progressive prize mechanic, Wild Chicken is the Premium release that players have been waiting for. With unique rooster wilds roaming the reels during the base game and expanding in size during the main feature, there’s a ton of excitement to be had on every spin, and a maximum jackpot of 10,000x means its sure to be a popular entry in all operators’ line-ups.”
