Relax Gaming, blasts players into outer space in its latest title, Space Miners, with an enthralling quest for valuable interplanetary resources.

This high-volatility Tiki title sees a torch-wielding runner dash along a trail one space at a time whenever symbols cascade. Each consecutive win sees players edge closer towards triggering 7, 10, 12, 15 or 18 free spins. A wild symbol is also guaranteed to fill one randomly selected position on the reels after every single winning cascade, helping create more winning paylines.
After kicking off the year with one of Nolimits’ most hard-hitting releases, Tombstone RIP, the Malta based studio presents Punk Toilet, an extremely entertaining and immature slot that aims to capture the energy and spunk of the punk rock movement once more. The slot contains the highly regarded and intriguing characters from Punk Rocker, a game that was initially released in 2020 and has since transformed the slot industry.
Endorphina, has just released their first slot of 2022 – a steamy new slot just in time for Valentine’s Day called Wild Love!

Players will launch the Free Spins feature by finding either three or five special books adorned with a howling wolf.
Cat Wilde continues to follow in her father’s footsteps as she endeavours to find the Lost Chapter from The Book of Dead in Play’n GO’s latest title.

Yggdrasil, has partnered with Reflex Gaming to travel back in time to Victorian England in its latest sci-fi slot sensation, Time Machine. The 5×3, 243 payline hit is designed to emulate a marvellous steampunk-inspired time machine with metal-ringed symbols appearing across the game’s reels. During base gameplay, the Pay Rise mechanic is active, awarding players a free respin following any win, increasing the reel height by one for every successful respin.
Kalamba Games has combined two proven slot themes in its latest title Finnegan’s Banditos as players join a leprechaun on an adventure through the Wild West in search for riches and gold, in time for St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

Red Rake Gaming, has just released a new video slot with a million ways to win, a magic mini game and a free spins feature with special symbols and multipliers. Under a waterfall in a wonderful enchanted forest you’ll find a beautiful elf preparing magic potions that hide incredible secrets. Players will continue to accumulate potions while they play until they enter the forest, where they’ll be able to reveal hidden wins in a fun mini game.
BGaming gives players a chance to feel thrills and be rewarded for that with fantastic prizes! Taking place on a 5×3 layout, the Squidpot slot provides players with 25 paylines and a set of breathtaking features.

The Buy Bonus feature loved by many players is also presented in the game!
Pragmatic Play, takes players on a journey through ancient China in a mystical experience moulded by the elements in latest release, Elemental Gems Megaways™.

GamCare releases Annual Report following record breaking year of support on the National Gambling Helpline
GamCare’s National Gambling Helpline received a record 55,228 calls and online chats from people experiencing gambling harm in 2023-24 – a 25% increase from the previous year – according to the charity’s Annual Report.
In a year marked by uncertainty over the future shape and structure of the gambling harms treatment sector following the previous government’s white paper on gambling reform, the charity continued to prioritise those at-risk of, or currently experiencing, gambling harm.
Of all calls and online chats that were responded to on GamCare’s Helpline in 2023/24, 41,070 (74%) were classed as supportive interventions. This includes supporting people with initial guidance and advice as well as delivering a seamless entry point into structured treatment services, with individuals completing treatment reporting a significant reduction in gambling-related distress and financial harm.
In March 2024, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities published an assessment of the gambling treatment system, highlighting that 57% of individuals engaging in treatment were referred by the National Gambling Helpline. This underscores the Helpline’s critical role in connecting people to the support they need. Over 9,100 free treatment sessions were delivered in the year to April 2024, with an average of just 2.1 days’ wait from point of referral.
GamCare’s targeted programmes aimed at young people, women, and the criminal justice system provided training on how to spot the signs of harms and where to signpost into support for 10,344 professionals, and education for 53,324 young people, children and parents. The Women’s Programme, in partnership with organisations such as Refuge, trained 3,813 professionals to recognise and address gambling-related harm among women.
Margot Daly, Executive Chair of GamCare’s Board, says: “Throughout a challenging year and with heightened demand for our services, GamCare’s staff have got on with the job of preventing harm where possible and treating harm where necessary. While we expect important changes in the gambling harms landscape, we have been determined not to let this uncertainty affect our relentless focus on the people who really matter – those at-risk of or currently experiencing gambling harms.
“I would like to thank and pay tribute to our frontline staff who provide 24/7 support for all those at risk or in distress. I also want to thank GamCare’s senior executive team who have steered GamCare through a period of sustained change, and to my fellow trustees for their guidance, unwavering support and the time each has dedicated to ensuring that the charity stays on course and on mission.
“As we look ahead to how the future of the gambling harms sector is shaped, we are committed to working proactively with the NHS and other partners and commissioners to ensure that people are continually able to receive the right support at the right time.”
