Also, you need to set the amount you wish to wager to play the game. The minimum coin size acceptable is 0.01, whereas the maximum coin size acceptable is 0.25. Once you place the wager, you must spin the reels and wait for the outcome.

Keep in mind that the minimum and maximum coins acceptable is 1.00 each. After wagering, go ahead and spin the reels.

4. Big Game Slot by Saucify

Big Game is one of the most captivating video slots Saucify has ever created. The casino game comes with an African-themed outlook and wild background instrumentals. It features 5-reels, 3-rows, and 30-paylines. The main symbols used on the slot machine include Baboons, Lions, Zebras, and Giraffes. The Wild is the Lion from the mentioned symbols, and it can replace any other symbol except the scatter, which the Elephant represents. Anytime the wild occurs on a winning combination, it multiplies your winnings x2. On the other hand, the scatter gives you access to free spins and free prizes. However, there are two ways you can win with the symbol.

The first way to win with scatters is if you managed to place 3, 4, or 5 scatters. The occurrence will reward you 10, 15, and 20 free spins, respectively. Secondly, if you manage to achieve 2, 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols on a payline, you receive x2, x5, x20, and x100 of your bet, respectively. The big game comes with a bonus round which allows you to win more. During the bonus round, if you manage to place five lions on a payline, you win 18,000 coins. You can also win additional free spins during your bonus round. That explains why the Big Game slot machine is one of the most popular online slots in the USA.

5. Take Olympus Slot by Betsoft

Having 3 or more Zeus symbols on a payline activates the multiplier function. Unfortunately, Take Olympus by Betsoft does not have a scatter symbol.

AGCO Requires Ontario Gaming Operators to Stop Offering WBA Bets Due to Integrity Concerns

Published

The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has mandated all Ontario-registered sportsbook operators to halt offering and accepting wagers on World Boxing Association (WBA) events immediately. This measure is being taken to protect the Ontario betting public following concerns that WBA-sanctioned boxing matches are not adequately being safeguarded against match-fixing and insider betting.

Since December 2023, the AGCO has been conducting a comprehensive review of suspicious wagering activity on a WBA-sanctioned title fight between Yoenis Tellez and Livan Navarro that was held in Orlando, Florida. Suspicious betting patterns on the bout lasting over 5.5 rounds were reported to the AGCO by two registered independent integrity monitors and detected in Ontario by a registered igaming operator. Media reports also alleged that Tellez’s Manager placed $110,000 on the match lasting longer than 5.5 rounds at a Florida casino. The bout ended with Tellez knocking out Navarro in the 10th round.

Following an intensive review that included outreach to the WBA, Ontario-registered gaming operators, independent integrity monitors, and regulators in other jurisdictions, the AGCO has concluded that bets related to WBA events do not currently meet the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming.

The AGCO requires all Ontario-registered gaming operators to ensure the sport betting products they offer are on events that are effectively supervised by a sport governing body. At a minimum, the sport governing body must have and enforce codes of conduct that prohibit betting by insiders.

Registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate to the AGCO that the WBA prohibits betting from insiders, which could include an athlete’s coaches, managers, handlers, athletic trainers, medical professionals, or others with access to non-public information. Further, registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate that the WBA took any action to investigate or enforce the allegations of potential match-fixing and insider wagering.

The AGCO has indicated to registered operators that in order for WBA betting products to be reinstated in Ontario, operators must demonstrate that the WBA effectively supervises its events, thus bringing them into compliance with the Registrar’s Standards. In December 2022, the AGCO required gaming operators to stop offering bets on UFC events for similar issues related to insider betting safeguards. Within a month, UFC amended its policies and implemented new protocols that allowed the AGCO to reinstate betting on UFC events in the province.

“Ontarians who wish to bet on sporting events need to be confident that those events are fairly run, and that clear integrity safeguards are in place and enforced by an effective sport governing body. Knowing the popularity of boxing in Ontario, we look forward to reinstating betting on WBA events once appropriate safeguards against possible match-fixing and insider betting have been confirmed,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Registrar and CEO of AGCO, said.
