Casino Guru, a global gambling authority with the most extensive database of online casinos, has recently engaged City, University of London, one of Britain’s top universities providing outstanding education to its students for over 125 years, to identify best practice in online gambling self-exclusion and to recommend a set of standards for adoption across different jurisdictions.

The origins of the project can be traced back to Casino Guru’s Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, launched back in 2020, whose aim is to establish an online self-exclusion scheme on a global scale that would provide a much-needed additional layer of protection for players grappling with problem gambling.

“Upon identifying the rules for self-exclusion in a proposed global system, we came to a conclusion that no general standards are currently in existence. Each jurisdiction creates their own set of rules for self-exclusion, and very few of them actually follow the same level of standards, not to mention the details of implementation. This creates a considerable gap in terms of the general effectiveness of self-exclusion within the industry, and the goal of this project is to close this gap,” stated Šimon Vincze, Casino Guru’s Sustainable and Safer Gambling Lead and the mastermind behind the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative.

The project is led by City, University of London’s Associate Professor Dr Margaret Carran, who possesses extensive research experience in the field of gambling and has in the recent past devoted herself to the analysis of player protection and monitoring of problem gambling in the EU states. The project is set to last around 18 months and involves three phases: research and fact finding, workgroup meetings with representatives of all stakeholders’ groups, and broader consultations.

The workgroup meetings will consist of experts with various backgrounds, whose task will be to find a consensus based on the research and fact finding exercises of existing self-exclusion rules’ impact, their professional experience, expertise and lived-in experience. This is set to be the main pillar of the project, which plans to deliver a recommended set of rules for online self-exclusion.

The final phase of the project will see the findings of the workgroup be open for broader consultation for other stakeholders in the industry. Gambling operators, regulators, non-profit organizations and trade associations will be invited to give their feedback. Criticism will be evaluated and incorporated, and the project will culminate in a series of freely available self-exclusion guidelines for effective implementation and greater protection of players who use self-exclusion to limit their access to gambling.

“Research represents a reliable basis for decision-making of regulators and the creation of standards, especially in the field of player protection. This project is exciting as no such work on self-exclusion has ever been done on an international level before. I have high hopes for the real impact of the project and wish for it to significantly improve player protection across jurisdictions,” Carran commented.

The first phase of the project has already started, and the second phase is scheduled to begin in September when the workgroup holds its initial meeting.

4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win introduces a fourth Pot and a Super Jackpot worth up to 10,000x the bet.

3 Oaks Gaming has launched 4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win, expanding its 4 Pots slot portfolio with a new Irish-themed title that adds a fourth Pot and a Super Jackpot mechanic.

The 5×3, 25-line game builds on the supplier’s 3 Clover Pots release. The new fourth Pot introduces the chance to trigger a Super Jackpot worth up to 10,000x the bet, according to the company.

The title’s Super Bonus Game is triggered by collecting Super Bonus Symbols. When activated, the grid expands from 5×3 to 5×5 and can introduce up to three bonus features at once. The Super Jackpot is awarded if all 25 cells are filled during the feature.

The slot also includes a Hold & Win Bonus Game, triggered via three Pots that fill with Bonus Symbols. In the bonus, Gold Clover Bonus Symbols can reveal Mini, Minor and Major Jackpots, while filling the entire grid awards the Grand Jackpot. 3 Oaks Gaming said the Pots add modifiers including Multi (up to x5 multipliers), Collect (gathers symbol values) and Mystery (awards higher-value Bonus Symbols or Mini to Major Jackpots), with a Rainbow Coin able to activate an additional feature or upgrade an existing one.

Federico Miele, Acting Head of Account Management at 3 Oaks Gaming, said: “The 4 Pots series has consistently delivered strong results for our operator partners, and 4 Clover Pots: Hold and Win represents the next evolution of the concept.

“By combining the proven appeal of Hold & Win gameplay with the addition of the Super Pot, expanded bonus functionality and a standout Irish theme, we’ve created a title that offers operators a compelling mix of familiarity, innovation and long-term engagement potential.”

The Premium title is a 5-reel, 50-payline game with respins, a penalty-kick multiplier bonus, and local jackpots up to 3,000x.

Swintt has released Champions Of The Spin, a football-themed Premium slot designed around a “summer soccer tournament” backdrop, according to the supplier.

The game runs on five reels with 50 paylines and includes a custom kit symbol alongside boots, gloves and trophies. Swintt says the title offers maximum wins of up to 3000x.

Champions Of The Spin includes three bonus mechanics. The Football Feature triggers when six or more football symbols land, awarding three respins that reset when a new symbol appears. Silver footballs collect the values of regular footballs, while gold footballs collect both silver and regular values. Filling all 15 reel positions triggers what Swintt calls the MEGA jackpot for 1000x the selected stake.

A Mystery Bonus triggers with golden whistles on reels 1, 3 and 5, prompting players to choose a penalty placement to reveal a multiplier of up to 100x. Swintt says this can be randomly upgraded to a Pot Pick feature, where three matching jackpot names award the corresponding prize. In the base game, trophy wilds can also expand to cover a full reel.

Anthony Dalla-Giacoma, Chief Commercial Officer at Swintt, said: “Nothing quite beats the excitement of a summer soccer tournament, but a football-themed slot with three thrilling features runs it pretty close! In Champions Of The Spin, players can win free respins, big-money multipliers and one of four huge local jackpots, making it a timely addition to operators’ line-ups.”
