UK Tote Group Appoints Two New Non-executive Directors

UK Tote Group has appointed Lord Spencer of Alresford and Mark Holt as non-executive directors to its board.
Both individuals bring valuable experience and significant expertise from the business world. This will support the UK Tote’s ongoing growth with the focus on product innovation, better value, improved customer experience and strong partnerships to create more liquidity and bigger pools.
Lord Spencer is one of the Tote’s 150+ investors as well as one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs having founded both interdealer broker ICAP plc which became a FTSE100 company in 2006 and its successor company electronic markets services provider, NEX plc. NEX was sold to the US company CME Group in 2018 since which time, Michael has focused on investing in early stage companies through his private investment company, IPGL. In recent years, IPGL has made significant investments in a range of exciting companies across different sectors and geographies, including wealth management, life insurance, cyber security, femtech, English wine and the Tote.
In addition to acting as a board director of a small number of private companies, in 2020 Michael became Chairman of the Centre for Policy Studies. He was nominated for a life peerage in the 2020 Political Honours list and was created Baron Spencer of Alresford in September 2020.
Mark Holt joins the Tote as a Tech NED and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the team. Passionate about technology, Mark worked his way up through a wide range of tech-based companies until he became CTO at CPA Global in 2012. In 2014, he moved on to become CTO of Trainline where he was part of the executive leadership team and led an industry-acclaimed technology transformation of the business. Mark is now Chief Product and Engineering Officer at 10X Banking Technologies Services, a financial services company with a mission to move banks from monolithic to next-generation core banking solutions delivered through modern technology. He is also a NED at Camelot and Chairman at Divrsity which is developing actionable ways to measure ED&I insights.
“During an exciting time of growth for the Tote we are delighted to appoint Lord Spencer and Mark to the UK Tote Group Board. Michael has been an investor in the Tote from the outset and continuing to share his unrivalled experience across the business world as a Board member will be an incredibly valuable support to our team. Mark’s technological expertise will be of significant benefit as we continue to develop and improve the Tote’s pool betting engine. Both Michael and Mark will support our outstanding executive team and the excellent work of our 170 employees in our Wigan HQ and London office,” John Williamson, Chairman of the UK Tote Group, said.

SHINE ON DRAGON’S DIAMONDS

This text contains puns. Reader discretion is advised.
“Dragon’s Diamonds” is now live, a fang-tastic 6×5 new scatter-pays slot from the Berlin-based developer Hölle Games with wins of up to 12,000x.
Unlike the miserly reputation they’re known for (a tall tail), the Hölle Dragon is a generous beast (with a fiery personality). With every matching cluster that lands, the Dragon will breathe flames onto the reels – removing winning symbols and allowing more to fall into place. There is no limit to the number of potential cascades that can occur here, so lucky players can quickly scale-up their hoard of wins.
Plus, hitting 4 or more scatters to enter the Free Spins will unlock the Feature Multiplier, which cumulates all Multiplier wins across the entirety of the Free Spins. Re-triggers can be clawed out too, with only 3 scatters needed.
For any players who find the base game is dragon-on, there is the Stake Boost feature, which increases the chances of hitting the Feature for a slightly higher stake, or also the option of directly entering Free Spins via the Feature Buy. That’s no fire-drill!
The game is now available for MGA with other territories winging it this way soon.
