Popular iGaming content provider BGaming is unearthing hidden treasures with its industry-first slot Aztec Clusters. Created in collaboration with Casinolytics, this unique 8×6 game places the gaming habits of streamers at its core.

Over the last 18 months, Casinolytics has conducted qualitative and quantitative research into streamers’ behaviour, emotions and playing styles by analysing more than 10,000 hours of data. Findings revealed streamers enjoy a challenge, a sense of progression and strive for high max wins. As a result, BGaming’s Aztec Clusters offers the possibility of landing an impressive max win of x10,000 in all game modes, including the base game, Wild Spin feature, or any level of bonus buy, with randomised features.

Cluster mechanics with refilling reels, a Dig-up feature and flexible Buy Bonus and Wild Spins options also evoke a high-energy experience that streamers enjoy. With the Cell Multiplier feature, winning clusters mark cells and add multipliers, ranging from x2 and increasingly in increments of x2 to a max multiplier of x10. Multipliers will apply to all winning clusters and their values are combined. The multipliers continue until the spin round has finished.

The potential to land very high multipliers was also appealing to streamers, according to Casinolytics’ data. In this release, Sticky Wilds appear in empty cells and substitute for any symbol except the Booster and Destroyer symbols, to create an unexpected and thrilling experience from start to finish. If the Sticky Wild marks a cell with a multiplier, an additional x10 multiplier is added until the sequence finishes. Enhancing the highly-sought after feeling of progression, further multipliers can be introduced for each win it contributes to, up to x100.

Taking on board the key qualities of top-performing slots most enjoyed by Casinolytics’ streaming community, BGaming’s cluster game is expertly designed to use features that streamers and players are proven to love. The soundtrack, timing of features and graphics are all created with their preferences in mind.

Aliaksei Ptukha, Game Designer at BGaming, said: “We are delighted to build on our collaboration with Casinolytics by releasing Aztec Clusters, the first of its kind slot in the industry. Cluster games have increased in popularity since 2022 and this game is the perfect addition to any gaming platform hoping to catch streamers’ attention.

“No other game releases incorporate data gathered from more than 10,000 hours of research and we believe this takes our commitment to player-driven game development a step further.”

Sebastian Khalighy, CEO at Casinolytics, said: “For the past 18 months, we have studied streamers and created qualitative insights based on their playing behaviours.

“We know streamers are playing an increasingly vital role in this industry, so we approached BGaming about collaborating on a slot. As a result, Aztec Clusters was developed and it truly is a game that puts streamers’ needs front and centre.”

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.”
