NCPG releases US Online Responsible Gaming Regulations report

BY: 카지노사이트존

The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) yesterday released its 2022 report assessing the consumer protection regulations from states with legalized iGaming against its Internet Responsible Gambling Standards (IRGS). The report, titled U.S. Online Responsible Gaming Regulations: An Evaluation Against National Council on Problem Gambling Standards finds that regulations in four of the seven states where iGaming is legal fall drastically short of NCPG’s minimum responsible gambling standards.

iGaming regulations in Delaware, Michigan, Nevada and West Virginia do not mandate operators provide players with sufficient responsible gambling protections. Regulations from Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania met a majority of the standards outlined in the IRGS, but still fall short of meeting the full list. IRGS sets the standard for consumers to ensure whichever operator they choose; they can be confident that the platform has the responsible gambling tools necessary to assist in playing safely.

The National Council on Problem Gambling initially developed the Internet Responsible Gambling Standards in 2012 to help guide discussions among all stakeholders on internet gambling, including operators, regulators, advocates and the public. The IRGS have received regular updates to reflect the current state of online betting, and recent trends in consumer protection and technology. The standards contain specific recommendations in the areas of policy, staff training, informed decision-making, assisting players, self-exclusion, advertising and promotion, game and site features, and working with research.

The most ethical and cost-effective response to gambling addiction issues raised by internet gambling is a comprehensive public health strategy that includes prevention, education, treatment and research services. Responsible gambling standards are an important aspect of this approach. NCPG recommends every state with iGaming or those looking to legalize iGaming adopt the IRGS standards to best protect consumers from the negative consequences of gambling.

“It’s brilliant to see Playtech Live continue its growth in North America,” said George Voyatzis, VP Commercial for Playtech. “Our partnership with FanDuel marks a really exciting moment for Playtech, and we look forward to delivering our Live Casino games for FanDuel and its users across Ontario.

Wizard Games invokes spirits in Madame Voodoo

NeoGames S.A subsidiary Wizard Games has unleashed the power of an ancient craft with its magical new release Madame Voodoo.

The spooky new title is a 5x5 slot that invites players to experience the title character’s invocations, with up to 506,250 winning ways providing the chance of enchanting wins within a feature-packed game that is filled with supernatural entertainment.

The magic begins with Tumbling Tiles, where winnings combinations fall away for new symbols to land and potentially create further wins. The excitement reaches fever pitch when the Voodoo Doll appears, throwing random dolls onto the reels and transforming into the same symbol for extra payouts.

The action doesn’t stop there, because if a doll lands on a magic ball it expands onto adjacent reels, with the added possibility of splitting up six times to create major winning possibilities.

Additionally, landing three Scatter symbols transports players into the Free Spins feature. Should a Voodoo Doll appear during the Free Spins, any newly transformed symbols that do not form any winning combination are transformed back into dolls. The dolls then walk a row up with each spin, until they form a winning combination or exit from the reels.

In certain regions, players can progress straight to the Free Spins with the Buy Bonus option. Madame Voodoo is a medium volatility game, with three different levels of RTP – 88%, 94% and 96%. It is the newest addition to Wizard Games’ growing portfolio, following Awww, So Cute!, Towers of Olympus and Bier Haus Riches in the studio’s rapidly growing games offering.

Wizard Games delivers value-driven iGaming experiences for regulated markets around the world, combining time-tested recipes with fresh, innovative ideas. The studio’s portfolio currently includes over 120 titles certified for more than 20 regulated jurisdictions in Europe, North America and Latin America.

Joey Hurtado, Managing Director at Wizard Games, said: “At Wizard Games, we love to create titles that have an element of the magical within them and Madame Voodoo definitely fits the bill. It’s a slot that has been designed with features guaranteed to get pulses racing, with the walking Voodoo Doll in the Free Spins game being particularly exciting.

“With its attractive design, this is a spooky game released just in time for Halloween that will have widespread appeal across the regulated markets we are active in right across the world.” 바카라사이트

The new Pennsylvania license gives Enteractive the ability to engage with the Pennsylvania population of 9.5 million adults, on behalf of sportsbook brands operating in the state with whom those individuals might be registered. Enteractive's innovative (Re)Activation Cloud platform allows operators to target selected audience segments, such as registered users who have not yet deposited as well as earlier depositors of different activity levels. Using Enteractive’s bespoke API technology, operators can deploy database segments to Enteractive’s teams for personalized one-to-one engagement with players at the click of a button.

“With this Pennsylvania license in addition to our license in New Jersey, we’re available to support player retention for sportsbooks in the two largest online gambling states of the U.S.,” said Mikael Hansson, Enteractive CEO. “With some leading U.S. brands already working with our stateside teams, our journey across the pond gets more exciting each day.”

Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts announced that Tatiana Diaz has returned to Empire City as the Community Affairs Manager. Diaz formerly served as the Sales and Catering Manager at Empire City but departed that role prior to the casino being acquired by MGM Resorts. In her new position, Diaz will play a large role in implementing communications and community engagement strategies for one of the largest private employers in the region.

The iconic entertainment destination has been operating since 1899 and is well-known for its deep community ties.

Diaz’s hiring as an addition to the public affairs team comes as the gaming destination gears up for the competitive bidding process to secure a full-scale commercial casino license.

As Manhattan's closest casino, Empire City historically welcomes over nine million annual visitors from the tri-state area and beyond, more than double the number of visitors to the iconic Statue of Liberty, of which a significant demographic is Spanish speaking. Diaz, being fluent in both English and Spanish, is uniquely qualified to further develop relationships with the ever-growing Spanish-speaking New York population, as well as tap into the extensive Spanish-language media in the region.

Diaz was also responsible for property rentals and filming where she built industry relationships resulting in increased filming opportunities at Empire City. She negotiated and secured contracts with large productions such as Netflix’s Friends From College, CBS’ Bull, ShowTime Billions and others.

“I’m excited to rejoin the Empire City team,” said Diaz, “This new role will allow me to use my skills and experience to support the company as it prepares to take this historic destination to its full potential. As a global industry leader, MGM Resorts provides the opportunity for me to further develop a career with no limits.”

An up-and-coming leader in the Westchester business community, Diaz has received several recognitions for her work, including being named a Business Council of Westchester’s 40 Under 40 Rising Stars in 2018 and a 914 Inc. Women in Business honoree in 2021, an award that recognizes and honors Westchester County’s leading female professionals.

Diaz symbolizes the strong culture of diversity and inclusion MGM Resorts actively cultivates. Empire City boasts a majority minority workforce, including leadership levels, and is also a proud majority female team. MGM Resorts actively recruits, engages, develops, and retains a diverse workforce while providing equitable access to employment, career growth opportunities and diverse representation across all job levels from entry level to senior leadership positions.

Diaz resides in Ossining with her husband and two children. When not working, Diaz enjoys spending time with her family, traveling, and utilizing her creative skills to work on fun do-it-yourself projects.
