New slot from BTG promises to bestow an avalanche of little red packets this Chinese New Year

Celebrate Chinese New Year in style this January with Big Time Gaming’s opulent Gifts of Fortune™. This highly volatile Megaways slot will make its highly auspicious debut on January 11 on the Evolution Network, before rolling out on general release a week later in time for the Lunar New Year on January 22.

This is a game brimming with little red packets, the monetary gifts Chinese people traditionally exchange to bestow fortune and prosperity at this time of year. In fact, little red packet symbols act as Wild and hit the reels with every spin. When they appear alongside Feng Shui coins, you’re looking at a prize multiplier of up to x10 in the base game.  Bestowing is great, but sometimes you’ve got to bestow a little fortune and prosperity on yourself, and there’s plenty of opportunity to that in Gifts of Fortune™. Because this is a Megaways game, there are up to up to 117,649 ways to win!

But BTG have packed in a lot more goodies, such as Bonus Buy, where you purchase 10 Free Spins for 70 times stake or purchase 10 Enhanced Free Spins for 200 times stake. And there’s also Win Exchange, where you can swap your win for the chance to be awarded 10 Free Spins. Reveal three glimmering gold ingot Scatters to enter the heavenly purple realm of the Free Spins Round. Here, you get 10 Free Spins, plus two additional spins for each Scatter beyond the third.

The pot multiplier starts at x1 and increases by one for every Wild red packet the occurs. Find three or more Scatters to award four additional Free Spins, plus two for each Scatter beyond the third.
Further wealth awaits those who uncover the Megascatter as one of the triggering Scatters, as they enter the realm of Enhanced Free Spins. Here, at least one Wild red packet is guaranteed to appear in every Free Spin.

Todd Haushalter, Chief Product Officer at Evolution said: “It’s always an honour when we get to debut a new BTG slot. After all, these are the people that gave the world Megaways™ and so many other revolutionary mechanics that changed the way we thought about gaming. Gift of Fortune™ is a real crowd-pleaser, a gorgeous game with so many features packed in.”

Nik Robinson, BTG Chief Executive Officer, said: “Games that explore ideas of fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture are a genre unto themselves, but seldom do they come with so many explosive features and inventive mechanics. Gifts of Fortune is a game that turns the genre on its head, and we know our players are going to love it. So, we’d like to wish them all a very Happy Chinese New Year. And remember, good things come in little red packets!”

Bacta commissioned research shows huge support for seaside arcades led by Gen Z

The findings of independent research conducted by Censuswide among a sample of 2,000 UK Nationally representative respondents aged 16+ shows that Generation Z has fallen in love with the seaside arcades so popular with their grandparents. 

The research reveals that 8 in 10 respondents (81 percent) view seaside arcades as being part of British culture and it is young Brits that are banging the drum for arcades, with 90 percent of 25–34-year-olds backing their importance.

Despite overwhelming public support from Britain’s younger generations, seaside arcades continue to face a perfect storm of challenges from rising energy and staffing costs, plus the threat of increased taxation as suggested by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

72 percent say Government should do more to protect them – with 86 percent of those aged 25-34-years calling for urgent action.

The research findings confirm the central role played by seaside arcades with 72 percent of adults saying they would visit an arcade on a trip to the seaside a figure that rises to 91 percent for 24-34-year-olds.

In terms of providing accessible entertainment 55 percent say that arcades offer great value for money, making them the UK’s most affordable family day out. As a result, 84 percent confirmed they have enjoyed arcades with multiple generations of their family.

The importance of contributions to local economies featured highly in the research paper with 7 in 10 stating that arcades play a key role in regenerating seaside towns, a figure that rises to 85 percent of 18-24-year-olds.

Reflecting on the research findings Joseph Cullis, President of UK trade association, Bacta said: “Britain’s seaside arcades are a vital element of our proud tourism industry, a modern cultural icon, and have been a fun family activity for more than a century.

“It’s brilliant but not surprising to see young people are embracing them with all the enthusiasm of their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents before them.

“At Bacta, we’re fighting to protect our seaside arcades from the threats of rising costs and from those who want to tax them out of existence. We hope that local councillors, MPs and the Treasury will heed the wants and needs of the British people and protect these vital institutions.”

Elliot Ball, who co-owns and runs Clacton Pier with his brother Billy, said other attractions would be at risk if arcades were taxed even more.

“I’m the fifth generation of my family – on both sides – involved in amusement arcades so this is a labour of love” he stated.

“But the threat from the government to raise gambling tax would put at risk a traditional family day out to the seaside. Trips here have been making memories for generations, and it’s great that younger people are finding the same safe, harmless fun on the pier that has been raising a smile and lighting up eyes for years and years.

“We’ve bounced back from the pandemic and the rise of staycations helps, but many of Britain’s most beloved seaside attractions will be put at high risk if gambling taxes rise.”
