This year’s Bacta Convention (22nd November) is shaping up to be one of the most insightful of recent times with leading politicians, the Gambling Commission’s Andrew Rhodes, Michael Dugher of the Betting and Gaming Council and the Bingo Association’s Miles Baron all accepting invitations to attend the UK trade association’s annual members’ meeting.

The Bank of England is the latest influential body to agree to be part of the showpiece event and will provide expert insight on payments trends including what the Bank is doing to protect access to cash.

Bacta has been highly encouraged by the positive response it has received from politicians, institutions and thought leaders alike. Chief Executive John White noted: “Our aim with the Convention is to bring together a corps of speakers who are authorities in their field, who are able to explain latest thinking and who can talk about the implications of both policy and related developments for Bacta members and their businesses.

“With the next UK General Election having to take place by 28th January 2025 and following the long-awaited publication of the White Paper on gambling reform I am delighted that we have been able to secure both the Minister responsible for gambling, The Rt Hon Stuart Andrew MP as well as the Shadow Minister, Alex Davies-Jones MP. Both will, I am sure, be keen to outline the direction of travel, explain policy objectives and their party’s vision for the future of land-based gambling businesses in the UK. The political theme will be extended into the evening when Bacta holds its annual Parliamentary Reception in the House of Commons.

“Betting and Gaming Council CEO Michael Dugher who during his career as a Labour Party MP served as Shadow Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and Miles Baron, CEO of the Bingo Association will participate in a ‘C-Level In Conversation’ round table whilst another CEO, The Gambling Commission’s Andrew Rhodes will be making a key note speech.”

White added: “We are waiting to hear from a number of our invited guests but close to six months out of the first Convention to take place under the auspices of the newly restructured Bacta I am delighted at the calibre of attendees who have agreed to join us.”

Queen of Rome has two grand features, a Bonus game and Free Spins. Three or more Scattered Free Spins symbols will trigger the free spins feature. Before Free Spins begin, players can either accept the current total or select the gamble button for a bid to earn more – players can win up to 50 free spins. During free spins, one to three stacked Wilds will be located on random reels for each spin, and magnify the chances of winning

The bonus game begins only when three or more Scattered Bonus Symbols appear on screen. Players start with three spins and the mission is finding as many crowns as possible to increase the multiplier metre which will pay out once the spins are finished. Each sector of the multiplier metre is filled by five winning symbols and there is an opportunity to bag an extra spin by finding the +1 symbol.

To add to the anticipation, the Bonus Game can feature Synced Reels and Expanding Reels, adding an extra layer of excitement for players.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Queen of Rome succeeds in enhancing our beloved Mythology series thanks to its gameplay and rewarding mechanics. This certainly is a jewel in the crown of our superb portfolio.”
