ESG Gaming to debut tech inequality documentary film at ICE Esports Arena
The Esports Arena at ICE London will celebrate a first on Wednesday 8th February when it hosts the premiere of Ironclad; a short documentary style film produced by ESG Gaming.
Shot on location in Dundee, Salford and across London the film explores the issue and impact of digital and tech inequality on the space, seen through the lived experience of players and the broader esports community. Ironclad features interviews with the likes of KingJae, the David Beckham co-owned Guild Esports, Dundee & Angus College, EXCEL Esports, and Esports Youth Club amongst others.
Ironclad producer Sam Cooke, who co-founded Esports Insider and the WFH League, stated: “Digital and tech inequality in esports represent serious issues which actually discriminate against huge swathes of the population and limit accessibility at an entry level.
“The purpose of Ironclad is to provide an opportunity for some of those in the space to share their stories and their lived experience in order to drive awareness of these key issues and to, hopefully, serve as a catalyst for change. The general consensus amongst those interviewed was that more can be done, and that accessible bricks and mortar gaming facilities are one part of this puzzle.”
Lee Willows, founder of ESG Gaming added: “Raising awareness around digital and tech inequality, player protection and inclusivity are central themes for ESG Gaming. I am incredibly grateful to Invest in Film, Lionscreed and Esports Insider who have bought the community together to contribute their unique insight, experience and knowledge to our short, documentary style film. Ironclad is the first of several short films from ESG, which will seek to raise awareness and seek to improve access and inclusivity.
“I would also like to thank the team at Clarion Gaming for firstly having the vision to establish the Esports Arena in the first place but also for supporting what we are trying to achieve at ESG Gaming and for providing us with a superb event at which to launch Ironclad.”
A subsequent screening of Ironclad is scheduled to take place at ESI Next Gen, an event focused on uniting leaders across education, video games and esports, at the University of Warwick across 22nd-23rd March.

Slotland invites online casino players to step into the Castle of Horror — if you dare. Just in time for the spooky season, the new Castle of Horror slot game throws open its creaky gates and is treating players to a Halloween bonus feast. New and existing players can grab a 105% Match BOOnus and Free Chips.
Shadows crawl across the 6×3 reels in this dark, cartoon-horror adventure. Spin across 13 fixed paylines and encounter a sinister cast of characters, including a Dracula-like vampire with glowing eyes, a snarling werewolf, unnerving pumpkin-spiders, vials with a floating eyeball, and monster jaws full of sharp teeth. The neon-glowing, spooky aesthetic sets the perfect Halloween mood, where a 6x Wild can deliver 2,000x your bet.
“What better way to mark 27 years of entertaining our players than by inviting them into a haunted castle?” said Michael Hilary, Slotland Manager. “This has been a landmark birthday for us, and we wanted to give our players a gift. The Castle of Horror is the perfect blend of spooky fun and big win potential, and it encapsulates the innovative spirit that has kept us at the forefront for nearly three decades.”
The castle’s true terror and treasure lie in its trio of bonus features. Scatter symbols pay instantly, with 1 to 6 scatters awarding up to 10x your total bet. Land 3 or more Free Spins scatters to trigger the Freakish Free Spins round with 3-12 spins, featuring Colossal Wilds and extra spins for additional scatters. For instant rewards, trigger the Pick Me Bonus with 3 or more scatters to level up through the castle’s depths, unlocking increasingly valuable coin prizes from up to five rows.
Join Slotland’s birthday bash and Halloween festivities. The terror doesn’t stop there! Slotland’s sister site, Winaday Casino, has also unleashed the Castle of Horror, offering another venue to hunt for its eerie bounty!
