CasinoBeats is welcoming the festive season by looking at a number of appropriately themed introductions across the igaming world.

Soft2Bet

The casino and sportsbook group is offering a variety of promotions across its seven brand portfolio throughout the month of December.

Players on Soft2Bet’s newest mobile-friendly online casino Wazamba will have access to the memory card games where they must match pairs with holiday symbols, while those who venture over to LibraBet have to pair football players with their corresponding teams. Gifts of bonuses, free spins and cashback are also available on the completion of a successful daily trial.

Nomini offer players an opportunity to test their logic with its Christmas Puzzle, where punters arrange numbers in ascending order to unlock a daily surprise, with players at Malina Casino, BuranCasino, BoaBoa, and CampoBet also in for a seasonal offerings.

“It’s been a fantastic year for everyone here at Soft2Bet and it’s important to give something back to the fans of all our brands.

“We know our Christmas promotions are going to be a big hit with players and we wish them the best of luck while on the lookout for fantastic yuletide prizes.” – Teodora Breskovska-Hall, head of casino and games at Soft2Bet.

Gala Bingo

Gala Bingo has teamed up with reality star and RSPCA ambassador Pete Wicks to raise money for an animal sanctuary as part of its Christmas campaign.

This follows research carried out by the firm that showed two in five (42%) dog owners admit to having given up a dog in the past, with one in 25 (4%) of the Brits who’ve given up dogs choosing to abandon them and leave them as strays.

After analysing YouGov data, the study also reveals that prospective dog owners are most likely to buy dogs from breeders (35%), while only one in five (21%) adopt from shelters.

Joining forces with Thornberry Animal Sanctuary and Wicks, a Facebook livestream fundraiser is to be held on Friday 13 December. One pound from every share of the post will be donated to the sanctuary. 

“We’re so pleased to work with Pete and Thornberry Animal Sanctuary to bring awareness to this vital cause. It’s so important that people make sure they can give a dog the life it deserves before they commit.

“Dogs can be such great companions to people of all ages and all backgrounds. They deserve happy and healthy lives, and they make our lives happy and healthier too.

“They really are man’s best friend, that’s why we want to raise as much money as possible for the sanctuary which does a fantastic job looking after them.” – Karina Adrian, head of brand marketing at Gala Bingo.

Playson

Slot provider Playson is intending to bring festive cheer via three cash prize tournaments, which will see any individual able to participate at any time via a plethora of the firm’s slot offerings.

The company’s €100,000 big network promotion, Christmas Story, will see the prize split over the trio of tournaments. Christmas March which takes place between 13-16 December with a prize fund of €20,000, is followed shortly between 20–27 December by Christmas Gift with a €50,000 prize.

Lastly, from December 30 to January 7 New Year Party takes players through to the new year with the chance of scooping a piece of the €30,000 prize pool.

“Our tournaments have been incredibly popular with seasoned Playson fans and attracting new players each time we’ve held one.

“This year has been a fantastic one for the company, and what better way to say thank to our loyal players than ending the year with a bang by testing out our new big money promotion. We wish everyone the best of luck on the quest to win those huge festive prizes!” – Michael Tadross, head of account management at Playson.

Kalamba Games

Joker Supreme X-mas Edition is the new igaming release from Kalamba Games, which is to be exclusively distributed on the Oryx Gaming platform.

The 5×4 game is based on the firm’s Joker Supreme title, released earlier this year, and retains all the features as the original game but with added Christmas influence.   

In the seasonal twist wilds joker symbols are disguised as Santa, and when multiplier wild symbols land on the reel all base symbols are substituted, and if a winning combination occurs the amount is multiplied by the value of the wild, up to five times.  

“Joker Supreme was a real success when it first launched earlier this year with its classic slot theme and clean, slick graphics and animations.

“We have now added some Christmas flair to the game to give our ever-growing fan base that festive feeling and we hope that Santa brings big wins for the holiday season.” – Alex Cohen, COO and co-founder of Kalamba Games.
