Casinos in the UK will remain closed beyond July 4, but bingo halls can welcome back players as part of the country’s new lockdown steps easing.

This comes as Prime Minister Boris Johnson declares that the two-meter regulation will be scrapped in favour of a “one-meter plus” plan, with hotels, places of worship, restaurants, cafes, pubs, hairdressers, entertainment arcades, and museums only a fraction of those businesses and attractions allowed to resume service next month in accordance with strict guidelines.

Casinos, bowling alleys, nightclubs, indoor gyms, swimming pools, amusement parks, tattoo and piercing parlours, and exhibition or conference centres to be used for shows or conferences are a sample of those that will remain closed.

Boris Johnson told MPs in the House of Commons: “I am acutely conscious people will ask legitimate questions about why certain activities are allowed and others are not.

“I must ask the House to understand that the virus has no interest in these debates.

“Its only interest, its only ambition is to exploit any opportunities is to recapture ground that we might carelessly vacate.

“There is one certainty: the fewer social contacts you have, the safer you will be.”

Adding: “Our duty as the Government is to guide the British people balancing our overriding aim of controlling the virus against our natural desire to bring back normal life.

“We cannot lift all the restrictions at once, so we have to make difficult judgements, and every step is scrupulously weighed against the evidence.

“Our principle is to trust the British public to use their common sense in the full knowledge of the risks, remembering that the more we open up, the more vigilant we will need to be.

“From now on we will ask people to follow guidance on social contact instead of legislation.”

Book of Madness 2: GAMOMAT releases sequel to horror-themed hit

GAMOMAT, one of the leading independent German software developers for slot games, has cranked up the craziness with the release of Book of Madness 2. This chilling 5×3 slot is set within a derelict, blood-smeared asylum that oozes with tension, underscored by an eerie soundscape.

Following the massive success of the original, Book of Madness is back with a thrilling sequel that turns up the chaos. A deranged nurse takes centre stage, injecting insanity into every spin for an even more electrifying gameplay experience. GAMOMAT’s horror-themed line-up has grown significantly stronger with Book of Madness 2, joining the ranks of Xploding Pumpkins and the original Book of Madness.

A toxic Book of Madness 2 symbol represents the Wild and Scatter which substitutes for all symbols except stamped Bonus symbols during Free Games. Multiple Wild symbols on a single payline count as the highest-paying symbol combination.

Three, four, or five Scatter symbols will trigger 10 Free Games. Once activated, it is possible to retrigger additional Free Games. Before the feature starts, a random Scatter symbol is revealed and appears on the open page — every symbol other than the Book of Madness has the power to mutate into a Bonus symbol. If Free Games are retriggered, another 10 Free Games are instantly awarded and an additional Bonus symbol will be chosen as part of the Multi Symbol feature — each one is displayed in the bar above the reels. If all symbols are already Bonus symbols and a further retrigger is activated, players only receive 10 more Free Games.

GAMOMAT is releasing Book of Madness 2 via its Remote Gaming Server, G‑RGS, and through the Bragg HUB.

Chief Strategy Officer at GAMOMAT Development GmbH Sebastian Reddig said: “Book of Madness 2 builds on the predecessor and turns up the tension to deliver a horrifyingly entertaining experience. An unsettling atmosphere, frighteningly fun features, and gory graphics all make for a game that players would be mad to miss!”

PG Soft unlocks new release: Grimms’ Bounty – Hansel & Gretel

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has launched its fairytale-inspired slots title, Grimms’ Bounty: Hansel & Gretel. It’s a 3-reel, 5-row video slot that features increasing multipliers and extra respins to keep the action engaging.

The Wild is represented by a bubbling cauldron that substitutes for all symbols to create more winning combinations, while the mystical potion Scatter unlocks the Free Spins feature.

When the main game is underway, the Respin value on the left side of the screen begins at zero. Once a winning spin lands and after the win is paid, all low-paying winning symbols are collected. The Respin value increases by one for every low-paying winning symbol collected. Should no winning combination happen and there is at least 1 Respin value, a Respin value will be used to award a free respin (Scatter symbols will remain on the reels).

The Multiplier Collection feature is displayed on the right hand side and starts at x1. A winning spin here will morph all high-paying symbols (Witch, Hansel, Gretel, Cupcake, and Bread) collected in the Multiplier meter. For every five symbols collected, the Multiplier increases by x1.

Free Spins will launch with three or more Scatter symbols on the screen and will begin with eight spins. In Free Spins the Respin counter is set to zero, and a Multiplier set at x2. After each winning spin, low-paying symbols are collected into the Respin meter on the left, while high-paying symbols are gathered into the Multiplier meter on the right. Every four low-paying symbols collected adds an extra Respin, and every four high-paying symbols boost the Multiplier by x2. If no win appears but there is at least one Respin stored, a Respin will trigger automatically, keeping the round alive. All wins during this feature are multiplied by the current Multiplier displayed on the reels.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “With Grimms’ Bounty: Hansel & Gretel, we’ve brought a timeless fairytale to life in a slot filled with striking visuals and mysterious effects that perfectly capture the story’s atmosphere. As a collapse-style game, it delivers dynamic gameplay that we’re sure will delight fans of the fantasy and fairytale world.”
