AvatarUX roams the savannah in RagingPop™

Innovative slots supplier AvatarUX has ventured to the wild setting of the African savannah in its latest feature-rich hit, RagingPop™.
Containing AvatarUX’s hugely popular PopWins™ mechanic, the highly detailed and visually appealing slot combines numerous mechanics for action-packed gameplay.
A Golden Rhino acts as a super-high symbol, paying out with just a combination of two symbols, rather than three.
In addition, every time the reels are spun, the Raging Reel feature can be triggered, which will see Rhinos rampage across the screen, raising reel heights and adding multipliers to the matrix which can reach up to 500x in height.
In base play, through the ‘popping’ of wins, reels can reach up to six symbols high, while in the bonus this can hit seven, for increased win potential and anticipation building with every pop.
Three or more scatter symbols will award the free spins mode, which launches a multi-stage gamble mode, where players can spin a Gamble Wheel for increased free spins if successful. Multiple successful spins can lead to up to 30 free spins being awarded.
During the bonus round, there is progressive reel growth, with every reel growing by one symbol after 10 spins. This process is repeatable until max reel height is reached.
There is also the option for an Ante Bet feature to be enabled, doubling the base to bonus hit rate for an increase of 25% in stake value, as well as the ability to progress straight through to the Free Spins with the Buy Feature.
RagingPop™ becomes the latest title to join AvatarUX’s rich portfolio, filled with diverse themes that all highlight the innovative proprietary mechanic, PopWins™.
Nicola Longmuir, CEO at AvatarUX, said: “We’ve explored a plethora of dynamic themes in our PopWins™ series and in RagingPop™ we’ve journeyed to the African savannah for an immersive adventure.
“Combining numerous features, huge multipliers and a max win of 20,000x, it is another high volatility adventure that gives players the chance to enjoy the spectacular AvatarUX slots.”

Report affirms Ygam’s leading role in gambling harm prevention

The latest Ygam impact report reiterates the integral role that the charity plays in preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people.
Between January 2024 to March 2025, Ygam trained nearly 10,000 delegates and reached and estimated 1.3 million children and young people across the UK – the highest reach figure since its inception in 2014. Recognised as the UK’s leading charity dedicated to prevention gambling harms among young people, Ygam has continued to set the standard in the sector.
The charity has significantly strengthened its focus on data, evaluation, and evidence-based practice, commissioning independent evaluations of four of its flagship programmes. These evaluations have generated robust insights into the long-term effectiveness of Ygam’s approach and are helping to shape the future of prevention education across the UK.
This report brings together a rich body of evidence, including independent evaluations, pre- and post-training feedback, and delegate testimonials – compiled to inform strategic direction and long-term effect.
Ygam’s growing prominence is reflected in its expanding reputation and influence across the youth sector. The charity continues to build strong partnerships with schools, universities, youth organisations, and community groups, ensuring its resources are embedded where they can make the greatest impact. Ygam is now working with esteemed brands including The Scouts, NSPCC, The Children’s Society, TSB Bank, Place2Be, and Barnardo’s.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Baroness Twycross, said: “I welcome this report, which highlights Ygam’s vital role in educating more than one million young people on how to lead safer digital lives.
One of my key priorities as gambling minister is to strengthen protections around those most vulnerable to harmful gambling and I look forward to collaborating with Ygam in future as we continue to build a safer online space for young people.”
Helen Martin, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive at Ygam, said: “I’m incredibly proud to present this impact report, which highlights Ygam’s leading role in the prevention field and our recognised expertise in safeguarding children and young people. Central to our success is a strong commitment to collaboration and the transformative power of partnership.
I’m delighted with the strides we’ve made in evaluating our work. While our reach figures are impressive, they represent just one facet of the significant impact we are achieving. By investing time and resources in rigorous evaluation, we ensure our programmes are not only evidence-based but also exemplify best-in-class standards and deliver lasting impact.
Our dedication to thorough evaluation, ongoing learning, and reflective practice empowers us to continually enhance our approach and meet the evolving needs of the communities we support. This commitment will continue to reinforce our position as trusted experts in the field.”
Key findings of the Impact Report 2024/2025:
- 1,324,416 estimated young people reach through delegates trained.
