Yggdrasil, the leading worldwide publisher of online gambling content, and Jade Rabbit have boarded the express train to wins in new hit Steam Spin.

The wild multipliers can add anything from 1x-10x on any winning line, while wilds are also key in triggering the respin feature. Any time a wild lands on the reels, it is locked in place and nudged down one position, awarding a respin. This continues until the wild disappears from view.

With a fast-paced base game, the 3×3, five payline slot also sees an additional set of reels sit directly above the ‘live’ ones and includes Wild Stacks, Rising Wilds and Free Spins features.

Pragmatic Play, has undertaken a captivating journey through dense prehistoric jungles in new release, Rock Vegas™. Blending elements from both primeval and modern settings, the background is filled with exotic flora and shrubbery, complimenting the reels edged with stone and vines.

Each expanded Wild rewards players with three respins, with no limit set to the number of times these respins can be retriggered.
Evoplay has announced the latest addition to its tier-one portfolio, the exciting Dragon’s Tavern. The new title dishes out an array of pleasant meals, as a dragon named Oliver treats customers to his eclectic and delicious menu. There’s something for everyone, as the 3×3 grid is filled pasta, burgers and aromatic sauces that will intensify players’ senses. To enhance the experience, the charismatic chef offers the chance to play Evoplay’s much-loved Free Spins game, available to the lucky few that find 3 Scatter Symbols.

Dynamic Cluster Payways work by complementing gameplay where the goal is pattern matching and quickly identifying where clusters are and anticipating where they will land after cascading happens.

In the dynamic world of online gaming, data plays a pivotal role. Databases containing personal and financial information, often referred to as “Safe” databases, serve as the backbone of any gaming platform.
In this short article, I focus on control databases (CDBs) – that is how Safe databases are referred to in the Dutch landscape – and why it is important to ensure their completeness, accuracy, and consistency through continuous data quality review. In any case, the topics here covered apply to most regulated markets.
Control databases contain critical information related to player accounts, financial transactions, game rules, and security protocols. Essentially, they ensure the smooth functioning of the entire gaming ecosystem. It is no wonder that the Dutch regulator (KSA) enforces specific technical regulations on them and often perform audits on these systems that can result also in fines in cases errors are detected.
Data quality review checks
Data quality review checks play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of control databases, ensuring continuous compliance. Here are some key reasons why they are essential:
- Accuracy and Consistency: Control databases handle vast amounts of data, including player profiles, game logs, and financial records. Ensuring accurate and consistent data is crucial for fair gameplay, financial transparency, and regulatory compliance.
- Player Experience: Imagine a player losing progress due to a database glitch or loss of connectivity. Such incidents can lead to frustration and loss of trust. Data quality checks ensure that the control database is correctly functional, and the information therein contained can be used to handle such incomplete games, enhancing the overall player experience.
- Regulatory Compliance: Gaming companies must adhere to strict regulations regarding data privacy, security, and fairness. Regular reviews ensure compliance with industry standards and legal requirements.
Most importantly, regular reviews can help gaming companies reducing the risk of an unsuccessful audit that could typically lead to a fine and negative PR.
Ideally, data quality reviews should be ongoing. Real-time monitoring is crucial for identifying issues promptly. Additionally, scheduled audits—monthly or quarterly—help catch any long-term discrepancies or trends.
Key areas of data quality reviews
When performing checks on the quality of CDBs, the following are the main areas to consider:
- Data Completeness: Ensure that all necessary fields are populated correctly. Missing or incomplete data can lead to errors downstream.
- Data Accuracy: Cross-check data against reliable sources. For example, player balances should match financial records.
- Data Consistency: Verify consistency across different databases and systems. Inconsistencies can cause confusion and operational inefficiencies.
Starting from the specific Dutch case and then expanding to other markets, here at ComplianceOne Group we have developed a data quality review service using our experience in dealing with this form of analysis. Leveraging feedback obtained directly from regulators, we created a testing procedure that performs the following:
- Tests on triggering reports from staging environment. We access the client’s staging environment with test accounts and perform actions that are aimed at triggering specific reports in the control database. We then check that these have been correctly generated and that they contain all necessary information, checking their accuracy against the back-office.
- Data quality tests on production environment. We download a large number of reports directly from production and run a battery of tests that we have designed and that is tailored specifically at checking completeness and consistency of the information contained in the control database.
All findings are promptly reported to the client and, if needed, we can assist with solving any issues found.
Conclusion
When I started being exposed to control databases, I understood that for many this is a very technical area and that maintaining this environment functioning correctly can be quite cumbersome. Nevertheless, a commitment to data quality is a necessary for ensuring continuous compliance of gaming platforms. If you are interested in running regular data quality reviews, or even just a one-time overall check, contact me and I will be happy to assist!
