A player has scooped up €2.9 million ($3.13 million) jackpot win from Relax Gaming’s Dream Drop series, claiming the coveted Mega Jackpot. The win occurred on the Betsson Group’s Betsafe brand, making it one of the largest wins recorded in the series.

Turning $1 into Millions with the Dream Drop Series

The player, who remains anonymous, was playing Templar Tumble 2 Dream Drop, released in November 2022, and part of the Dream Drop jackpot series. The win occurred in the most unexpected way imaginable after the player had only bet €0.92 ($1) turning the sum into the coveted €2,853,717.01 payout ($3.13 million).

The win is a great way to start the month of July for the series, which has been producing a winner almost monthly.

The last win before the latest one came in June when one lucky soul became the 15th winner in the series, scooping the eye-watering €10.3 million ($11.12 million) instead, and the largest jackpot to have been won in 2024.

Commenting on the most recent win, Relax Gaming CEO Martin Stålros welcomed the chance to see his company continue to drive interest in the popular series that has become a staple of the gaming experience and a beloved product for players to try their hand at.

Stålros said that so far this year, there have been only three months without an actual winner and that there could be well more players turned millionaires from the Dream Drop series as the year carries on.

Celebrating the Dream Drop Series Success  

The Chief Executive also celebrated the conduit for engagement that the Dream Drop series have become for Relax Gaming’s original and highly-recognizable content:

Dream Drop has seen players engaging with our content more than ever thanks to the excitement the jackpot creates. The portfolio of jackpot integrations continues to grow at speed and we already look forward to celebrating our seventeenth Mega winner when it lands. Our congratulations go to the lucky player.

Relax Gaming CEO  Martin Stålros

Commenting on behalf of Betsson Group, Company Director of Gaming Performance Phil Lam was similarly pleased to see a Betsafe player become a millionaire through the Dream Drop Mega Jackpot prize.

Lam did not hesitate to tout the features that Relax Gaming brought to the table, celebrating the Dream Drop series as a highly entertaining and valuable gamification product.

The leading supplier of unique casino games and iGaming aggregator, Relax Gaming, announced that it made another lucky only player millionaire thanks to a Dream Drop Jackpot win. The company confirmed Friday that a player at Unibet casino secured the latest Dream Drop Jackpot, pocketing a whopping €2.7 million ($2.9 million) prize.

The latest mouth-watering prize represents the second grand prize from Dream Drop Jackpot for the year so far and fourteenth overall. The monumental win comes after back in January, a lucky player hit the thirteenth Mega Jackpot drop and the first for 2024.

To secure the grand prize, the customer played Print Studios’ Pine of Plinko Dream Drop via Unibet. Ultimately, the lucky online gambler was able to hit the grand prize after placing a tiny €3.50 bet. Besides Dream Drop, Pine of Plinko Dream Drop offers other engaging features, including multipliers, feature bet and Pinko Bonus, among other functions.

David Robertson, the director of casino and gaming at Kindred, Unibet’s parent company, was excited about the latest win. “The Dream Drop Jackpot has quickly become known for allowing players to win incredible jackpots, adding a layer of excitement to the gameplay experience, we are delighted to see the latest winner play at our casino,” he said. Finally, Robertson congratulated the lucky player.

Relax Gaming Enjoys a Wonderful Start of the Year

Filip Wargeus, Print Studios’ CCO, was also excited about the recent jackpot win. He said that the company strives to offer engaging and rewarding experiences to its players. This is why, Wargeus said, Print Studios decided to add the popular Dream Drop Jackpot feature into Pine of Plinko. In conclusion, he pointed out: “We have seen great levels of engagement with the game and we are thrilled to have seen a millionaire made playing one of our titles.”

Back in 2023, Relax Gaming was recognized with the Product Launch of the Year award by the GGA for its Dream Drop Jackpots. As a leading supplier of online casino games, the company offers more than 4,000 quality titles. Forging partnerships with iGaming operators and aggregators, Relax Gaming successfully grows the reach of its games.

To have created two millionaires so early in 2024 is a wonderful start to the year for our portfolio of Dream Drop titles.

Simon Hammon, CEO at Relax Gaming

Simon Hammon, Relax Gaming’s CEO, revealed that it is exciting to see two millionaires early in the year, who have secured huge Dream Drop Jackpots.

Entain Shares Drop 4% After MGM Excludes Takeover Bid https://kenowizard.com/2024/02/14/entain-shares-drop-4-after-mgm-excludes-takeover-bid/ https://kenowizard.com/2024/02/14/entain-shares-drop-4-after-mgm-excludes-takeover-bid/#respond Wed, 14 Feb 2024 16:11:32 +0000 https://kenowizard.com/2024/02/14/entain-shares-drop-4-after-mgm-excludes-takeover-bid/ Recently, MGM Resorts’ chief executive officer, Bill Hornbuckle, was asked about any change of heart following the company’s latest public statement on the acquisition bid topic.

Recently, MGM Resorts’ chief executive officer, Bill Hornbuckle, was asked about any change of heart following the company’s latest public statement on the acquisition bid topic. His answer led to a 4% drop in Entain’s shares.

Last fall, it was speculated that MGM Resorts would possibly make a new acquisition bid for global gaming giant Entain following the decrease in the latter’s share price in 2023 along with the ousting of now former chief executive officer Jette Nygaard-Andersen at the end of the year. 

The S&P 500 global gaming and entertainment company that features national and international locations initially said no to an acquisition bid in 2021 that gave the business an enterprise value of £8.1 billion ($10.17 billion).

That amount currently stands for an important premium on the company’s market cap of £6 billion ($7.53 billion).

“It’s About Product, Product, Product, and Focus”

The CEO replied that their main focus would be on product in the upcoming months, leaving large-scale mergers and acquisitions to the side.

Hornbuckle explained that, while attending the ICE event in London last week, he met with Stella, their partner, and talked over the importance of making sure “everyone’s focus is on BetMGM.”

He emphasized that 2024 will be a critical year for everyone, ”So, it’s about product, product, product, and focus.” His comments immediately caused Entain’s share price to fall close to 4% down to £9.22 ($11.58) prior to slightly recovering to £9.84 ($12.53).

2024, an “Investment Year” for BetMGM

In December 2023, BetMGM’s chief executive officer, Adam Greenblatt, spoke during an investor presentation, calling 2024 an “investment year” as the joint venture was trying to regain the market share that it had lost while improving its product.

Hornbuckle agreed that 2024 would be “a reinvestment year,” emphasizing the need and desire to get their product “in a better and different shape” and adding they would like additional parlays

“Obviously,” he continued, “the acquisition of Angstrom by our partner will be a big add to that. We’ll be able to stick out more product. We’ll have more confidence in it.”

The CEO explained that their focus will fall on baseball in the next months, with expectations to hit soccer in 2025 while putting many of their product differentiators to use in the meantime.

For the spring, Hornbuckle also discussed their plan to have a single wallet in play. As for when they will begin to make some cash, 2025 seems to be on the horizon.

The UK-headquartered, leading betting and gaming company that acquired William Hill’s non-US business in 2022, 888 Holdings Plc, has published its post-close trading figures. 

The report indicates an 8% decrease in the group’s annual revenue for the full year 2023, emphasizing important drops in the UK online and global markets.

The fourth quarter’s revenue reached £424 million ($538 million), a number that marked a 7% decrease compared to £457 million ($579 million) in the same quarter in 2022.

The Q4 revenue was also 5% higher compared to Q3 2023, with activities up 5% on a YoY basis. In the context of the continuous growth in the customer base, 888 believes it has what it takes to set the “foundation for sustainable future revenue growth.”

Full Year 2023 Revenue Down Because of a Mix of Factors

As explained in the same update, the group’s FY23 revenue of £1,711 million ($2,170 million) down 8% compared to 2022 was the result of a number of factors including the shift away from dotcom markets, which dropped revenue by around £80 million ($101 million) during FY23. 

The customer mix changes recorded in the UK resulting from the additional measures to ensure safe gambling and 888’s marketing changes with a bigger focus on profitability and sustainable revenue have all triggered “a higher quality and more sustainable business mix.”

This featured roughly 95% of FY23 revenue generated from taxed and regulated markets. 888 recorded an 11% increase in the average number of monthly active users in the UK online segment. However, the figure did not suffice to fight off the 18% drop in average revenue per customer.

The FY23 retail revenue went up 3% at £535 million ($678 million) compared to FY22 at £519 million ($658 million). The main triggers were the improvements brought to the product offerings, including the introduction of self-service betting terminals and gaming cabinets.

Outlook for 2024

The company has also expressed a “positive outlook for FY24 revenue with consistent growth in active players driving confidence in strong revenue growth online in both the UK and International segments.”

The group’s compliance and implementation of safer gambling practices are expected to “annualize in February 2024,” which would lead to a more positive outlook in terms of average revenue per user. 

888’s profitability, in the long run, will also be positively impacted by the new cost savings program of around £30 million ($38 million) initiated at the end of last year and the additional investments in a greater strengthening of the group’s core capabilities in intelligent automation and artificial intelligence-powered data and insights.

While these measures are expected to boost the group’s profitability in the long term, the additional investments that are underway are also leading 888 to project the 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be “at the low end of consensus range.”

Chief executive officer Per Widerström commented on the “important strategic and operational progress in the face of some significant regulatory and compliance headwinds” in FY23 while happily announcing the enhancement of the foundations for sustainable and profitable growth.

The CEO also announced that he would outline the group’s 2024-2026 plan together with the full-year results toward the end of March.

Last week, the group announced job cuts in Israel amid its global restructuring plans.

Prosecutors at the Van Buren County Prosecutor’s Office have dropped the embezzlement charge brought against Danika Young, a cash cage supervisor at Four Winds Hartford Casino.

The 38-year-old long-time employee allegedly stole $700,000 from the casino vault on July 30 and exited the gambling facility after she received an ominous phone call from a person who told her to take the money to someone in Gary, Indiana

Young Could Have Faced 20 Years in Prison 

Provided Van Buren prosecutors would not have decided to drop the embezzlement charge, Young could have been incarcerated for up to 20 years for the serious felony.

While the reasons behind their decision have not been disclosed as of yet, the employee’s criminal defense attorney, Caleb Grimes, said his client felt thrilled and at the same time “extremely vindicated” since she had claimed her innocence from the beginning of the investigation. 

Young, who had been a loyal employee of the casino for more than a decade and a half, was a mother, and also had deep roots in the area through her network of relatives in the local community, claimed her compliance was precipitated by what she thought was a directive from the venue’s higher management.

Possible Foul Play via AI

One potential theory that could explain the incident is the use of artificial intelligence as part of a scheme to manipulate and manufacture the voice of someone part of the casino’s executive team who allegedly made the call from inside the casino, according to records from Michigan TV station WOOD.

These types of complex plots are usually met in high-stakes casino dramas, making them extremely difficult to prevent and spot even by the most loyal and trusted employees.

Four Winds Hartford Casino is located in Hartford, Michigan, approximately 80 miles away from Grand Rapids. The property is one of the four venues considered regional entertainment pillars that are owned and operated by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians

The Nude Visitor at Oklahoma’s First Council Casino

Earlier in the week, Norman Rhodes, the man who entered Oklahoma’s First Council Casino wearing no pants and undergarments and jumped on top of a security desk at the casino hotel pleaded guilty to the charge of outraging public decency, according to data from Oklahoma TV station KOKH.

At the time when the police arrived, he was wearing a towel on his head and a ripped shirt and had on a towel, explaining his lack of proper clothing as a consequence of being hot.

Rhodes will undergo a mental health checkup, pay court costs, and do 60 hours of community service. Provided he will complete the probation, he will not spend any time in jail. 

The Extortion Attempt at Harvey’s Resort Hotel and Casino

Another shocking incident took place in 1980 at the border between Nevada and California, at Harvey’s Resort Hotel and Casino. This massive complex was targeted by former WWII veteran John Birges who lost $750,000 there and decided to seek revenge. 

Birges managed to leave a bomb in the building and send a letter to casino management asking for $3 million in exchange for the bomb not to be blown up.

The FBI’s anti-bomb squad that arrived at the premises soon discovered it was almost impossible to safely defuse the bomb as the criminal had explained they would not receive instruction on how to flip some of the switches until the money reached him.

The casino refused to pay the $3 million and the FBI proceeded to try to defuse the bomb, which in turn caused a massive explosion that caused enormous damage on all floors. Birges was arrested and sent to prison for life. 

The Student Who Tried to Steal $30,000 From a Casino

In October, a 22-year-old student from Greenwich, London who tried to steal $30,000 from Grosvenor Casino admitted to fraud by false representation. 

Samuel Bob-Emmanuel was asked to undergo 25 days of rehabilitation and was sentenced to a 12-month community order by the Birmingham Crown Court, while also facing 150 hours of unpaid work

The crime took place on March 1, when Bob-Emmanuel used a PIN code belonging to a supervisor at Grosvenor Casino to attempt to transfer the casino’s money to his account.

On July 31, the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) revealed in its newest earnings report that Nevada’s gambling income decreased on a monthly and annual basis during June of this year.

Slots as the main source of income once again

Looking at the total profit for the said month, it was calculated at $1.25 billion. However, compared to profit of $1.28 billion in June last year, this was down 2.3%, and compared to revenue of $1.29 billion for May 2023, it was also down 3.1%. However, looking at the Las Vegas area alone, income in the Clark County area reached $1.07 billion, and income from the Las Vegas Strip was $727.3 million.

In addition, of the total slots revenue, multi-denomination slots generated $486.2 million in revenue and penny slots collected $255.2 million.

As for the counter, table and card games, their income fell 6.5% to $409.6 million. Of the total revenue from table, counter and card games, blackjack generated the most income of $104.0 million, followed by baccarat at $100.5 million, although it experienced a 29.8% year-over-year decline. Then there was the income from sports wagering, which was presented as part of the aforementioned games, which was also lower by 60.1%, and was calculated at $9.5 million.

The newest results also show, compared to figures for the last 12 months to June 30, 2023, a rise in total gambling profits reported at non-restricted casino locations in Nevada.

Baseball and hockey wagering income

As for baseball wagering, it collected $14.5 million in profits. However, the loss of profits in other sports segments has meant that this income isn’t as large in total income when looking at the market segment. Furthermore, hockey wagering wasn’t very profitable either as it resulted in a loss of $6.6 million for Nevada operators, while football betting resulted in a loss of $1.6 million. But that’s not all; as $328.000 was also lost in basketball wagers, and betting on other sports collected $3.5 million in income.

Scams schemes as a cause of lost revenue

Earlier in July, Nevada’s gambling watchdog issued a warning about an increase in scams which main target are casinos. The newest scams include people posing as senior casino management officials, with the main goal of deceiving casino workers in order to obtain large amounts of money.

In this regard, just recently, the said scheme caused a major loss of $1.17 million for one gambling operator.
