David Thorpe to Step Down as Chairman of Arena Racing Company
David Thorpe is to step down as chairman of Arena Racing Company (Arc) at the end of April after nine years in the role, the racecourse group has revealed. Thorpe, who had previously chaired one of Arc’s forerunners Arena Leisure, became Arc chairman in April 2014 when he replaced Lord Michael Howard of Lympne, the former Conservative Party leader.
He has been a heavyweight figure in British racing politics for a number of years, having also been chairman of the Racecourse Association between 2004 and 2009 and a board member of both the BHA and the Levy Board.
Thorpe said: “It has been a significant source of pride to see the company flourish and grow over the past few years and we have assembled an incredibly smart, passionate and hard-working team. I am equally delighted to have been part of creating a new industry structure, a major improvement which should serve the sport well into the future.
“I am sure the company will only continue to get stronger and more successful over the coming years, and I am proud to have played a part in that foundation for growth. I will continue to be a passionate supporter and advocate for the business and the sport.”
Arc chief executive Martin Cruddace said: “David has played a pivotal role in the growth and transformation of the company over that time, and his detailed knowledge of the industry has been an enormous help. Both myself and our shareholders would like to thank him for his expertise, hard work and support, and completely understand his decision to step down. For me personally, he has been a source of constant support, counsel and guidance.
“David will remain a very good friend of both me and the company, and there will be a special welcome for him whenever he comes racing at our tracks.”

Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has added Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit to its marvellous Mythology series. Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit presents a grid framework of 5×3 and is set at 25 fixed lines.
Once the action is underway, players join Zeus, the ancient Greek god of sky and thunder for a battle on the reels. A powerful soundtrack heightens the anticipation as players look for Wild symbols on screen. Three or four Wild symbols will only pay out when followed by free spins or a bonus symbol. The Wild will count as any symbol aside from free spins and bonus symbols.
Three Scatter Free Spins symbols will launch the Free Spins game. In the base game, these Scatter Free Spins symbols can only be located on reels 1, 3, and 5. Three Scattered symbols will award players with three free spins that return 3x the total bet. During free spins, any symbol can appear as a colossus symbol (3×3), covering the centre of the slot across reels 2 to 4. Any scattered symbol (bonus or free spins) will only land as a colossus symbol and will trigger its feature. A Free Spins colossus symbol will award players with three more free spins and pay x3 the total bet.
The Hold & Hit feature takes this game to the next level. Six or more Scatter bonus symbols will launch the bonus game where the symbols that initiated the feature will remain locked in place for the bonus. Players will begin with three spins and once the empty spots are completed, or when the spins are finished, the game will conclude.
Every spin could see empty spots filled and award players with prizes ranging from x1 – x10 multiplier of the total bet. The Mini Jackpot – pays x25 total bet, Major Jackpot – pays x50 total bet and the Mega Jackpot – pays x250 total bet. Each time a spin has a positive result, the counter will reset the remaining spins to three. Players who complete all 15 spots will secure the Grand Jackpot and a prize of x5000 the total bet.
Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Zeus Unchained Hold & Hit combines captivating gameplay with engaging features that deliver a powerful player experience. Our Mythology series is a fan favourite, and this release adds another awesome chapter.”
