1st of the Irish, the new cluster video slot from Red Rake Gaming
Red Rake Gaming has just announced the release of a new and spectacular game, a 6×5 reel video slot with a free spin feature where players can multiply their winnings.
1st of the Irish is a video slot loaded with different features, including bet multipliers, Wild symbols on one single reel, Sticky Wild symbols and a free spin feature with multipliers that players will find very appealing.
This new video slot has 5 meters that fill up bit by bit each time these symbols appear: pipe, beer, shamrock, hat and rainbow. These meters can all be filled up simultaneously to trigger various different features, and afterwards they can be filled up all over again to reward the player with even more wins.
Filling the Pipe Meter will release a symbol and a multiplier, allowing players to win an amount equal to their bet x the multiplier achieved x the number of times the symbol appeared.
Filling the Beer Meter will cause 9 beers to appear, which will then fill up and turn into one single symbol.
Filling the Shamrock Meter will make 4 Sticky Wild symbols appear in the reels to reward players with very exciting wins.
Filling the Hat Meter will add up to 8 wild symbols to one of the reels.
Filling the Rainbow Meter will launch the free spin feature. Each time the rainbow symbol appears during this feature it will fill up some of the side meter, and at the end of the feature players will multiply their winnings.
1st of the Irish is a comprehensive slot game loaded with features, and is available for all operators as of today, the 28th of May, on the new tournament tool launched recently by the well-known game developer.

Innovative price prediction game provider teams up with leading cryptocurrency casino gaming platform to bring quick-fire, Bitcoin-based betting to the masses
Bitblox, the pioneering online software provider behind an innovative new wave of Bitcoin-based titles, has partnered with popular crypto casino and sports betting platform, Betcoin.ag, to bring its innovative price prediction games to a wide new audience.
Known for its signature releases Up or Down? and Up or Down? Turbo – which challenge players to guess whether the price of Bitcoin will rise or fall in a 60 or 20-second window respectively – Bitblox provides a range of products that are both games of skill and games of chance, giving them a unique cross-market appeal that’s proven popular with sports bettors and casino players alike.
Boasting dynamic fixed odds that are tied to the real-time price of Bitcoin, Bitblox’s games aren’t dictated by RNG and therefore offer players a genuine chance of using their understanding of the crypto markets to turn a long-term profit. That said, they’re also highly accessible and require no prior knowledge of Bitcoin, meaning even crypto novices can enjoy their quick-fire betting rounds.
Of course, with Betcoin.ag being one of the industry’s premier cryptocurrency-based online betting platforms, Up or Down? has already established itself as a staple part of the provider’s line-up and Bitblox will continue sharing titles with the site as and when they launch in 2024 and beyond.
As such, both parties are optimistic that the partnership will continue to be a fruitful one going forward – and Betcoin.ag players will also undoubtedly be looking forward to trying exciting upcoming releases such as 3 in a Row and BitSlap when they debut on the platform later this year.
Brandt Page, Chief Executive Officer at Bitblox, said: “We’re very happy to have partnered with BetCoin and have already witnessed a tremendous response to Up or Down? from their players. Over the coming months, we’re looking forward to releasing many more innovative new titles on their platform and hope this will continue to foster interest in the world of crypto-based betting.”
Jessica White, Public Relations Director at Betcoin.ag, said: “With Betcoin being one of the industry’s most popular crypto casino and sports betting sites, we were always going to be a good home for Bitblox content. We really love what the provider is doing with its crypto price prediction games and having seen Up or Down? perform so well, we’re already looking forward to their next release.”

VIRGIN BET AND PRESENTING STAR NATALIE PIKE BRING ‘WOMEN’S DAY’ TO DONCASTER RACECOURSE
Virgin Bet is excited to announce the second iteration of its ‘Women’s Day’ event, which will take place at the Virgin Bet November Handicap on Saturday, 9th November, at Doncaster Racecourse.
The day will serve as a platform to celebrate women in racing, making it the latest effort in Virgin Bet’s long line of social impact initiatives to help create a more inclusive environment.
Building on the success of the inaugural Women’s Day at Ayr Racecourse last season, this celebration aims to further highlight and honour the invaluable contributions of women in racing.
The event at Doncaster Racecourse is open to everyone, embodying Virgin Bet’s brand mission, ‘A Good Bet’. This campaign emphasises the brand’s dedication to breaking down pre-existing barriers within sports and culture at large.
As part of the day’s proceedings, in addition to enjoying Doncaster’s spectacular race offerings, attendees can attend two panels led by presenter Natalie Pike, with the first starting at 10:45 am in the Exhibition Hall. Combining celebration with insight, these discussions will encourage reflection and spark conversation, connecting racing fans with legendary women transforming horse racing while also addressing diversity in the sport.
Panellists will include:
Panel 1: Women of Horse Racing
- Sophie Green (Trainee Clerk of the Course, Southwell Racecourse)
- Charlotte Russel (General Manager, Go Racing In Yorkshire)
- Rachel Harwood (Executive Director, Doncaster Racecourse)
Panel 2: Creative Inclusivity in Racing
- Dawn Goodfellow (CEO, Racing Welfare)
- Emma Kay (Founder, WalkSafe)
Additionally, as part of Virgin Bet’s raceday sponsorship, a donation will be made to Racing Welfare. Their work ensures the well-being and success of British horseracing’s workforce. Virgin Bet’s support for Racing Welfare highlights the importance of giving back to the community that keeps the industry running.
The Virgin Bet November Handicap marks the beginning of Virgin Bet’s continued partnership with Arena Racing Company (ARC) for a series of key meetings throughout the 2024/25 season. This partnership extends to fellow LiveScore Group brand LiveScore Bet.
Virgin Bet’s Personal Safety Partner, WalkSafe, will also be integrated into the race day. Founded in 2020, WalkSafe was developed to give the public as much information about their surroundings as possible. The app, WalkSafe+, enables users to plan the safest route home, along with a host of additional features to help ensure a safer experience for all.
Racegoers will be able to learn more about the innovative and free-to-download app over the course of the raceday, and get the chance to speak with its founder, Emma Kay, who strives every day to educate and highlight the importance of safety in all walks of life. Emma will also feature on one of the panels, sharing her insights and experiences as part of the discussions.
This second iteration of Women’s Day, now making its debut at Doncaster, serves as a potential alternative to traditional Ladies’ Day. Virgin Bet, in partnership with Doncaster Racecourse, is proud to continue fostering a celebratory environment, reminding everyone that racing truly welcomes all.
Dominic Vye, Marketing Director, Virgin Bet, said:
“Horse racing owes much of its success to the incredible women who contribute so much behind the scenes, and it’s time we celebrate their achievements. At Virgin Bet, as part of our ‘A Good Bet’ brand campaign, we want to make sport more accessible and highlight brilliance, no matter who the subject is, and this initiative is doing exactly that.”
Presenter and ‘Women’s Day Sponsored by Virgin Bet’ collaborator, Natalie Pike, added:
“It’s been amazing to return and once again be part of this fantastic initiative with the teams at Virgin Bet and Doncaster Racecourse. I hope this year’s event will continue to inspire and uplift the incredible women in horse racing. Creating an inclusive and safe environment for everyone in the sport is so important, and I’m proud to help bring attention to that.”
Rachel Harwood, Executive Director of Doncaster Racecourse, continued:
“We are proud to celebrate Women’s Day here at Doncaster Racecourse. This initiative shines a spotlight on the essential role women play in our sport. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to remind everyone that racing is for everyone, and we hope all racegoers feel that sense of inclusivity and belonging.”
“We’re also delighted to have Virgin Bet’s Personal Safety Partner WalkSafe integrated as part of their sponsorships with us. The experience and safety for all spectators at our racecourses is a priority, so it’s fantastic to see this as part of Virgin Bet’s ‘A Good Bet’ initiatives, which aims to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all.”
