Gambless and Mindspa join forces to support gambling companies

Published

on

 

Problem gambling prevention and support platform “Gambless” announces a one-of-a-kind partnership to help operators promote mental health both for customers and employees.

The events of the past 18 months have tested everyone’s mental health. Living in such conditions has put many in a perpetual state of disruption, uncertainty and grief, and this has pushed employee mental health to the top of many companies’ list of concerns and priorities.

Employers are starting to understand that the impact on mental health is going to be long lasting. Mental health issues don’t go away after vaccination. They don’t go away after returning to the office, either. But there is a silver lining: while before the pandemic most employees considered talking about mental health at work as a sign of weakness, now this taboo is crumbling. The stigma around mental health is rapidly decreasing.

Issues related to anxiety and depression are among the most common conditions, and nowadays many employers are encouraging conversations on these topics in order to elevate their company’s culture.

Be it to prevent burnout, to increase productivity, or to improve overall health, companies have figured out that adding mental health benefits far outweighs the cost. And with the help of technology, such services are now more efficient, more easily accessible, and more inclusive than ever.

 

SUSTAINABLE GAMBLING

When it comes to gambling companies, however, the challenges of mental health increase considerably. Operators need to embrace a double responsibility, towards both their employees and their customers.

Many problem gamblers have been known to gamble as a way to cope with stress and other difficult emotions, and there is indication that more than 90% of problem gamblers have comorbidity with other mental disorders.

 

To meet the growing challenges of the gambling industry, Gambless has decided to join forces with Mindspa.

Award-winning casino content provider TaDa Gaming has released its latest game Domino Go. This new release takes the classic game of dominoes and reimagines it with added Jackpot wins.

Domino Go offers five separate levels with different minimum entry and wager values and straightforward gameplay.

Starting with seven tiles at the beginning of the round, players place a tile to match the number of dots or pips of an existing tile end. The aim is to get rid of all your tiles as quickly as possible.

28 unique tiles with individual coloured dots or pips either end ranging from zero/blank to six dots comprise the set. Tiles can be “single”, with pips one end only, or “double”, with pips at both ends.

Just to add a little frisson, there is a time limit for placing a tile. The round finishes when either side has played all their tiles or the board has locked as there are no moves left to be made, and the winner is announced.

If a specific point level is not reached, then wins can be carried over into the next round. When the game ends, the losing player pays the difference in accumulated points while the winning player has the chance to trigger the Jackpot.

Grand, Major and Mini Jackpots all offer different prizes; and with 50% of the total prize value applicable to a single win with the Grand and Major Jackpots, it’s no wonder players are going dotty for Domino Go.

Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Everybody and anybody can play dominoes. Domino Go is a great addition to our diverse portfolio – and possibly a unique addition to iGaming. The jackpot feature adds another layer to the gameplay, enhancing the overall experience.”
