Lucky Betting Shop Slot | New at Meridianbet Casino

Lucky Betting Shop – Your New Favorite Expanse Slot!
Have you ever bet on sports online? Sports betting is a very popular pastime for millions of people around the world. That’s exactly what Expanse Studios was aiming for in its latest slot, bringing sports betting into the slot industry.
Available only in Meridianbet casino, Lucky Betting Shop is a fun and rewarding slot machine with a sports betting theme. Not online betting, mind you, but betting in shops. It nicely replicates the atmosphere of said shops, including betting tickets that serve as wilds to form lucrative winning combinations.
Lucky Betting Shop is an excellent slot for all sports fans. This isn’t your typical slot game. Instead, it has managed to incorporate the process of betting in slot form, creating a very unique machine.
Fill Out the Bet Tickets
The Lucky Betting Shop slot has 1,024 paylines. Bets start at a minimum of 25 coins. All wins are multiplied by coin bets and pay from left to right. The only exception are scatter wins which pay any.
The Lucky Betting Shop symbols include sports betting paraphernalia. The action takes place in a lucky betting shop where you can win on a wide range of sports. The card royals are low-win symbols, while the punters and employees pay more. The betting ticket is the wild, substituting for all symbols in winning combinations except for the scatter.
The symbols offer mixed pay. They can appear in full and half-size. When they appear as half-size, they pay according to the paytable. The lady behind the counter pays the most – 250x your stake for five of a kind. The punter is right beneath in the pecking order, paying 100x for the same combination.
In the base game, random multipliers can be added to the reels, varying between 50x and 250x your stake. There’s only one winning position on the multiplier reel. The same feature is active during the free spins round, where you can win staggering bet slips.
Bonus Features
The Lucky Betting Shop slot has a free spins round that is triggered by three scatters anywhere on the reels. You’ll get a total of 15 free spins that can be retriggered. The slot game uses special reels during this round. The free spins are played at the triggering bet.
There’s another feature which will surely excite sports betting fans. It’s called Bet Ticket and can be bought by clicking on the bet slip in the lower left corner. This is a side (optional) bet that can only be purchased during idle base gameplay. You can have up to two betting slips active. To activate the feature, you first choose one of three symbols and the number of spins.
For example, you can choose the employee or punter to appear 21 or 25 times in 12 spins. You then select your bet on the right and start spinning. If you manage to get your chosen symbol a certain number of times in the following 12 spins, you win your betting ticket with a solid multiplier.
Absolute Sports Fun
If you’re a fan of sports betting, you’ll surely have fun with Lucky Betting Shop. Try your luck at the betting ticket and you can earn stunning rewards thanks to the active multipliers. It’s a pretty fun slot machine that will delight sports fans, so give it a try at Meridianbet and enjoy the betting action.

Zimpler introduces ID+: A next-gen identification layer for digital payments

Zimpler, a leading Swedish company in Pay-by-bank solutions, today announced the launch of Zimpler ID+, a new identity layer designed to simplify compliance and accelerate user conversion within digital payment environments. By embedding biometric identification and regulatory checks directly into the first user interaction, Zimpler ID+ reduces friction in sectors with complex onboarding requirements.
“Zimpler ID+ gives our partners a direct path to compliance and conversion – cutting onboarding time, reducing drop-offs, and removing the need to build identity infrastructure in-house,” said Tobias Gunnesson, Chief Product Officer at Zimpler.
“While most verification flows still rely solely on deposit-based triggers or cookie tracking, we’re the first to enable verification at the point of entry – meeting compliance head-on and delivering a better user experience from the start.”
Purpose-built for highly regulated digital environments
Zimpler ID+ serves industries where compliance is critical and abandonment rates are costly, such as iGaming and financial services. It ensures users are verified from the start, without requiring deposits or post-registration identity checks.
Key features include:
- Quick onboarding: Verification and collection of KYC data takes place at the first point of contact, not only at the point of payment
- Seamless return user experience: Returning users can identify with biometric technology and are recognized with the help of cookies
- Works even without cookies: If cookies are unavailable, the user can easily identify themselves using a passkey
- Built-in compliance: Regulatory assurance at every step of the customer journey
By functioning as a unified identity layer from sign-up through repeat visits, Zimpler ID+ helps businesses minimize onboarding churn and maximize regulatory confidence.
Solving identification friction at scale
The launch of Zimpler ID+ comes as businesses across Europe face rising pressure to improve digital onboarding while maintaining regulatory standards. National ID systems remain foundational – but they weren’t built to optimize every business touchpoint.
Zimpler ID+ complements these systems by offering operators a plug-in layer of biometric identification and gathering of KYC information tailored to business needs. It removes the need for deposit triggers, repeated logins, or re-verification after a device change.
“With Zimpler ID+, we’re introducing a flexible approach that gives businesses more control over identity flows – without compromising security or relying solely on external systems” said Gunnesson.
Product availability
Zimpler ID+ is now available as a value-added service to select partners in Finland, with more markets to be added in the future.
By embedding advanced onboarding capabilities directly into its existing infrastructure, Zimpler expects ID+ to strengthen customer retention and enhance platform value across regulated sectors for years to come.

Heavyweight Club by GR8 Tech Signals New Era of Operator Ambition at iGB L!VE

The iGaming industry got a taste of heavyweight ambition at iGB L!VE London 2025, where GR8 Tech unveiled its Heavyweight Club—an exclusive community that takes domination in iGaming markets as seriously as world champion Oleksandr Usyk takes defending his undisputed heavyweight title.
“iGB L!VE London was the ignition point for the Heavyweight Club. We showcased top-tier tech and connected with operators ready to lead, scale, and dominate. The energy, the conversations, the demand for real performance confirmed what we’ve always believed: the iGaming industry is hungry for heavyweight solutions and GR8 Tech is here to deliver,” said Sergey Ghazaryan, GR8 Tech’s CRO.
Industry Response Points to Market Appetite
With increased competition making differentiation more challenging, speed-to-market pressure intensifying as new markets emerge, and technology debt from legacy systems hindering operators’ growth, the industry is at a critical juncture. In 110 meetings with the sales team and over 65 conducted demos, operator feedback consistently centered on these exact challenges.
This shift is evident across the ecosystem. Mariia Shmelova, CEO of Aff.Tech—GR8 Tech’s proprietary affiliate management platform—observed similar patterns: “One major trend is the demand for greater transparency and performance accountability. Operators want to see exactly what’s driving traffic, conversions, and ROI. That’s why we’ve been doubling down on data—not just analytics, but actionable insights that affiliates and operators can use in real time. We’re also seeing growing interest in multi-geo, multi-brand campaigns, and our platform is built to support those kinds of complex setups with ease. Flexibility, automation, and smart integrations are the future.”
The conversations revealed a clear understanding: champion ambitions require champion tools. Operators emphasized the need for high-performance solutions that deliver geo-specificity for local market domination and margin mastery that turns competitive pressure into profit advantage. The response highlighted how operators are seeking partners who understand that every champion needs exactly the right tools for their specific fight.
GR8 Tech’s approach resonated because it addresses this reality with three key solutions designed for different use scenarios:
- Hyper Turnkey, which delivers fully managed casino and sportsbook operations that scale with ambition;
- ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame with its lightning-fast integration and market-specific customization capabilities;
- Infinite Casino Aggregation, offering premium gaming experiences with an operator-first flexibility.
This comprehensive approach ensures every operator gets precisely what they need to overcome their unique market challenges and achieve championship-level performance.
Heavyweight Club Momentum Builds Toward Next Championship Round
The “Fight for Greatness” collection drew significant attention on the show floor. Attendees’ enthusiasm for the showcased apparel and accessories, paired with strong performance of the online store, confirmed that the Heavyweight Club resonates far beyond technology—it’s a mindset people want to embody and a philosophy they want to wear.
GR8 Tech’s AR experience featuring Oleksandr Usyk became a magnet for attendees, with over 80 participants stepping into the champion’s world in one of the most memorable activations on the show floor. Winners of the AR experience didn’t just walk away with impressive pictures—they earned tickets to witness Usyk defend his undisputed heavyweight title against Daniel Dubois this July.
Just as Usyk will defend his title at Wembley, the Heavyweight Club will continue its championship journey beyond iGB L!VE. The next epic edition awaits at SBC Summit in September, where the movement will expand with new challenges and opportunities for operators ready to dominate their markets.
Ready to fight for greatness? Connect with GR8 Tech and step into the ring.
