Rafael Rodrigues, Product Director 8 Ball Pool, commented: “This partnership is an incredible opportunity for us to give back and use our platform to support worthwhile and life-changing causes.

“As a global company with offices around the world, partnering with a charity that supports people on a global scale is an amazing feeling. The Global Gift Foundation is fully aligned with our goals of providing vital support that positively impacts people across the world, not just in the games industry. We’re extremely proud to support them, with a star-studded group behind us to drive the fundraising efforts.”

The Global Gift Foundation is a charity that supports the lives of children, women, and families in need. This is the first time they have partnered with Miniclip for such an event, where they have come together to work towards a shared goal of equality across the globe.

The money donated during Global Gift Foundation Week will support projects and causes such as Casa Ángeles, in Spain – an amazing place that makes life better for kids with special needs and their families, helping the children to grow, learn, and become more independent, both physically and mentally. Another project is the Quang Chau Orphanage in Vietnam, home to children who have been left behind and abandoned, offering everything they need to thrive: food, medical care, education, and so much more. It is a place where the children can feel loved and cared for, and are surrounded by people who genuinely want to see them succeed and be happy.

Maria Bravo, Founder and CEO at the Global Gift Foundation, said: “We’re delighted to partner with Miniclip to host this amazing charity event. The money raised will contribute to some incredible causes across the globe and we are so grateful for their support. We’d also like to give honorary thanks to our celebrity ambassadors who have brought the event to life.”

EGT’s jackpot Gods & Kings Link made its debut in Bulgaria. The first local gaming establishment to install the product is the largest casino in the country GoldenEye, located in Svilengrad.

“We are very happy to once again have the opportunity to support our partners from GoldenEye by providing them with one of the latest developments from our slot portfolio,” commented Biserka Draganova, Sales Manager for the Balkans and Egypt at EGT. “The fact that out of a total of 500 machines in the casino, 320 are EGT’s is a testament to the great confidence they have in us, and I believe that Gods & Kings Link will show the excellent results expected from it.”

The product is currently available on several cabinets of the G 50 J2 St model, and will be installed on more by the end of June. Gods & Kings Link has 4 levels of jackpot: Minor and Mini, that are fixed for each machine and Grand and Major, which are progressive and can be won with every bet made on any of the 4 games Rise of Ra, Olympus Glory, Ape of luck and Glorious Alexander. The Grand and Major levels are common with EGT’s bestseller jackpot Bell Link, thus creating even greater chances for wealth.
