The Swedish Trade Association for Online Gambling (BOS) today presents statistics for the proportion of regulated and unregulated gambling in Sweden, so-called channelization. BOS has had SKOP measure the channelization partly for all online gambling in Sweden, partly for individual product types, such as sports betting and online casino.

The report presented today shows that the channelization for the online gambling market as a whole is 77 percent. Sports betting has a channelization of 84 percent and online casino 72 percent.

The state’s goal with the gambling regulation is that at least 90 percent of Swedish consumers’ gambling shall be channelled to the Swedish license market, in which the Swedish Gambling Authority assigns gambling licenses and monitors the gambling market.

 There is no doubt that the Swedish licensing system is in a serious situation. Far too much effort has been spent on the part of the state to force the licensed gambling companies to implement measures that have not been well received by gambling consumers. I’m thinking of things like Sweden’s de facto ban on bonuses and the ban on betting in lower football divisions. This has not been appreciated by the gambling community, around a quarter of whose gambling now leaks out of the licensing system into the unlicensed gambling market. In the unlicensed gambling market, both consumer protection and tax payments to the state are non-existent, says Gustaf Hoffstedt.

If we are to succeed in reversing this development, a shift in mentality on the part of the state is required, from hunting, fining and limiting the range of games for licensed gambling companies to hunting the unlicensed ones instead. As well as not regulating the licensed companies’ ability to retain gambling consumers on the licensed market. It is possible to reverse the trend, and from the industry’s side we are prepared to join hands with the state to achieve the goal of improved channelization in Sweden, Gustaf Hoffstedt concludes.

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has unveiled its fantasy-fueled video slot, Dragon’s Treasure Quest. The game is presented within a  5-reel, 3-row frame and features expanding reels and multipliers.Players must track down hidden treasures while navigating through legendary lore to find Wilds and Scatters, represented by a dragon eye and treasure chest respectively.

The Dragon Wild symbol only appears on reels two, three, four and five, and substitutes for all symbols except the Scatter symbol. Four Scatter symbols found anywhere will trigger the Free Spins Feature with 15 free spins – each additional Scatter symbol will trigger two more free spins. It’s possible to retrigger Free Spins.

At the end of every winning free spin, the total win for that spin is multiplied by both the multiplier at the bottom of the reels and the combined multipliers from the multiplier symbols on

the reels. Any multipliers collected during free spins will be accumulated and will remain at the bottom until the end of the Free Spins Feature.

Players can also take advantage of the Expanding Reel Window feature in Dragon’s Treasure Quest. At the start of each spin, all reels begin with three large reel windows. After each cascade, any reel window involved in a winning combination is split into two smaller windows—boosting the number of ways to win with every round.

A final element is the Multiplier symbol which is in play for any spin within the main game. One or more Multiplier symbols with values ranging from x2 to x100 may appear on the reels. At the end of the spin, all multipliers from the Multiplier symbols on the reels will be added together, and the total win for that spin will be multiplied by the total multiplier. The Treasure Chest may randomly add additional Scatter symbols if there are 1, 2 or 3 Scatter symbols present.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Dragon’s Treasure Quest delivers an action-packed reels adventure packed with exciting moments as players spin through a magical realm. Dragon’s Treasure Quest captures the spirit of heroic quests and the fiery power of dragons, keeping the adrenaline red hot with every spin.”

GAMOMAT, one of the leading independent German software developers for slot games, has released Roman Legion Flaming Link, the latest addition to join the line-up of its hugely successful Flaming Link series. This imperious 5×3 slot marches players straight to the heart of the Roman Empire, where legionnaires must vie for victory.

Following the popular Roman Legion, one of GAMOMAT’s most iconic titles, Roman Legion Flaming Link is set to conquer players’ hearts thanks to its Flaming Link Hold & Respin feature, which introduces dynamic Multiplier Zones and Fire Orbs. The series launched earlier this year to great fanfare with Ramses Book Flaming Link.

At the heart of the title is the ferocious Flaming Link feature—a classic Hold & Respin mechanic with an added dimension: every feature round randomly selects four Multiplier Zones. Players will always feel part of the action—not only is there a fullscreen bonus, but also smaller milestones that build anticipation along the way.

Five Fire Orbs will ignite the bonus round, where potentially Fire Orbs may appear. At the end of the respins, all activated multipliers are applied to the Fire Orbs within their respective zones. The values of all visible Fire Orbs are then calculated as the final win, which has the potential payout of 12,100x the total bet. No additional bets are needed as the feature is always enabled.

10 free games will start, when three heroic horsemen ride onto the reels. Once the feature is live, any Sticky Wild Legionnaire remain locked in position to enhance the chances of rich returns. A menacing, cinematic score creates an intense and engaging experience where every spin counts.

GAMOMAT is releasing Roman Legion Flaming Link via its Remote Gaming Server, G‑RGS, and through the Bragg HUB.
