Their joint research, published in Nature, demonstrated the first successful generation of Certified Quantum Randomness, a milestone that will have profound implications for industries relying on randomness, such as cryptography, privacy, and high-level simulations. The Role of Quantum Computers in Generating Certified Randomness Traditional computing methods rely on pseudorandom number generators, which, while effective, are not truly random and are susceptible to manipulation or breaches. However, quantum computers generate random numbers through quantum superposition, making their results inherently unpredictable. In this breakthrough, the team used the 56-qubit Quantinuum System Model H2 quantum computer, which boasts high-fidelity and all-to-all qubit connectivity. By applying a quantum protocol known as Random Circuit Sampling (RCS), they generated randomness that classical computers could not replicate&hellip; <a href="https://www.casinonewsdaily.com/blog/2025/04/01/jpmorgans-groundbreaking-quantum-computing-achievement-generating-certified-randomness/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p>\n<p>Category:  News <br />\nSource: Casino News Daily</p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'JPMorgan’s Groundbreaking Quantum Computing Achievement: Generating Certified Randomness (Casino News Daily)', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'jpmorgans-groundbreaking-quantum-computing-achievement-generating-certified-randomness-casino-news-daily', '', '', '2025-04-01 16:12:43', '2025-04-01 16:12:43', '', 0, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/uncategorized/jpmorgans-groundbreaking-quantum-computing-achievement-generating-certified-randomness-casino-news-daily/', 0, 'post', '', 0),

(Image: Gazete Oksije/H Casino)</figcaption></figure>n<p>Suddenly, with global sports canceled, the previously obscure Belarusian Premier League took on newfound significance for gamblers as the only soccer league available to bet on anywhere.</p>n<p>But Belarus’ laissez-faire attitude to the pandemic attracted another type of gambling at the then brand-new H Casino in Minsk.</p>n<div class="callout">n<p>Or rather it didn’t, because much of the gambling reported by the casino didn’t actually exist. That’s according to <a href="https://investigatebel.org/en/investigations/landromat-minsk-kasino">a new investigation</a> by journalists at the Belarusian Investigative Center (BIC), an exiled independent Belarusian media outlet.</p>n</div>n<p>With lockdowns and quarantines occurring elsewhere, criminals were finding it tough to launder the proceeds of crime. Belarus, with its freedom of movement and corrupt public officials, provided the ideal solution.</p>n<h2><strong>Falyalı’s Laundromat </strong></h2>n<p>The H Casino opened in 2021 in Galleria Minsk, a mall owned by businessmen with ties to Russian and Belarusian elites. It quickly became the most profitable casino in the Belarusian capital.</p>n<p>According to the BIC report, that may be because it was part of a sprawling money laundering network linked to Turkish Cypriot crime kingpin, Halil Falyalı, who was <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/turkish-gangster-detained-in-northern-cyprus-casino-owner-murder/">murdered in 2022.</a></p>n<p>Although the casino is ostensibly wholly owned by Turkish businessman Mustafa Egemen Şener, the investigation &#8212; which was conducted in conjunction with the <a href="https://www.occrp.org/en/investigation/inside-the-global-online-betting-empire-of-a-slain-turkish-cypriot-businessman">Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project</a> (OCCRP) and the Global Investigative Journalism Network (GIJN) – concluded that Şener was a joint partner in the business with the slain gangster.</p>n<div class="callout">n<p>Falyalı owned the five-star Les Ambassadeurs Hotel &amp; Casino in Northern Cyprus. In 2015, the US government accused him of being part of a drug trafficking operation that flooded the UK with heroin. A year later, the DOJ charged him with laundering the proceeds of narcotics sales within the US.</p>n</div>n<p>From his Cyprus base, Falyalı controlled a vast illegal online gambling empire targeting Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and other countries, which generated huge amounts of dirty money.</p>n<h2><strong>Money Man Sings</strong></h2>n<p>BIC journalists were able to conduct extensive interviews with Falyalı’s former CFO, Cemil Önal, who is currently in prison in the Netherlands fighting extradition to Turkey, where he claims his life would be in danger.</p>n<p>According to Önal, much of this dirty money was transported to the H Casino, either physically – cash smuggled by private jets – or digitally, via crypto wallets.</p>n<p>The system involved establishing a huge network of bank or payment platform accounts owned by private individuals who were willing to accept payments in return for a cut of the money.</p>n<div class="callout">n<p>When a player lost money on one of Falyalı’s gambling sites, the funds would go directly to the account of an individual within the network That individual would then withdraw the cash from an ATM and deliver it to an organizer. Both the account holder and the organizer would take a 5% cut, while the remaining 90% went to Falyalı.</p>n</div>n<p>In this way, the network was able to move billions through thousands of accounts, according to data from a report by the Turkish financial crime investigator.</p>n<p>When the money arrived at H Casino, it was reported as casino revenue, generated by bets placed by phantom gamblers. The funds were eventually sent to Dubai and plowed into luxury real estate.</p>n<h2><strong>State Protection </strong></h2>n<p>The operation had state protection in Belarus, according to Önal. Belarusian security officials, including former KGB and military officers, were involved in protecting the laundering racket. These allegedly included Vitaly Matys, a former security officer for President Lukashenko, who was identified by Önal as a key enabler of the operation.</p>n<p><strong>Falyalı died in a hail of bullets in February 2022, after his motorcade was ambushed by gunmen with Kalashnikovs in the village of Çatalköy, close to his home in Northern Cyprus.</strong></p>n<p><a href="https://www.casino.org/news/turkish-gangster-gets-life-for-murder-of-cypriot-casino-owner/">Four men</a> with links to the Turkish underworld have been convicted of his murder, but their motive remains unclear.</p>n<p>The post <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/h-casino-in-belarus-was-money-laundering-front-for-slain-turkish-gangster/">H Casino in Belarus Served as Money Laundering Front for Slain Turkish Gangster, Report Claims</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.casino.org/news">Casino.org</a>.</p>n', 'H Casino in Belarus Served as Money Laundering Front for Slain Turkish Gangster, Report Claims', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'h-casino-in-belarus-served-as-money-laundering-front-for-slain-turkish-gangster-report-claims', '', '', '2025-02-13 23:00:18', '2025-02-13 23:00:18', '', 0, 'https://www.casino.org/news/?p=344270', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The proposal would create one casino license for the Lake of the Ozarks.</p>n<p>If it ever gets off the ground, the proposed project will create 500 construction jobs and 700 permanent jobs once it opens, according to the ORGC. Tax revenues from the casino would go to early childhood literacy programs in public schools.</p>n<h2><strong>Eyes On the Ozarks</strong></h2>n<p>The ORGC isn&#8217;t the only entity with its eyes on a casino in the popular tourist destination.

At this point, the Interblock system informs the players that no more bets can be placed. If the ball is spun in the same direction as the wheel, the system’s cameras and sensors do not identify that a spin has occurred. This means players can continue to place bets during the spin once the ball has landed on a number.</p>n<h2><strong>Bilked for Thousands </strong></h2>n<p>If this occurs, it’s correct procedure for a table games supervisor to be called over to void the spin and cancel all bets.</p>n<p>But instead of voiding the spin for all players, Laush would use his supervisor fob to verify the spin. This meant wins would be paid out to those players who knew that they could continue to bet when the ball had traveled in the wrong direction.</p>n<p>In total, across the three incidents, Joe Lin and Chen Lin won more than $14K according to the complaint.

(Image: Crown Resorts)</figcaption></figure>n<p>Since 2011, the private member&#8217;s club for high-rolling gamblers has been owned by Australia’s Crown Resorts, which is facing suitability reviews over its gaming licenses at domestic properties.</p>n<p>In a report seen by London’s <em>Evening Standard</em>, directors for loss-making Aspinalls said the casino would rely on Crown’s financial support to cover liabilities during current turbulent financial times.</p>n<p>But it noted there were “significant doubts” about Crown Resorts ability to continue as a going concern. Unfavorable decisions by Australian regulators could render Crown “unable to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal order of business,” it added.</p>n<h2><strong>High-Roller Drought </strong></h2>n<p>Aspinalls posted losses of £2 million ($2.5 million) for the year to June 30, 2023. London has been facing something of a high-roller drought in recent years. The UK capital’s VIP gaming sector has long been composed of visitors from the Arab Gulf states, a demographic that has recently thinned out.</p>n<p>That’s in part because the British government scrapped the duty-free system for foreign visitors after the UK left the European Union. Previously, visitors could recoup the 20% sales tax, known as value-added tax (VAT), on items purchased in the UK.</p>n<p>Casinos have also been affected by the UK Gambling Commission’s ban on using credit cards for gambling.</p>n<p>Three high-end London private member&#8217;s casinos have closed in recent years, the Ritz Club, the Clermont, and <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/crockfords-uks-oldest-casino-closes-after-195-years/">Crockfords.</a></p>n<h2><strong>Regulatory Headache </strong></h2>n<p>Meanwhile, in Australia, Crown Resorts is facing license reviews in New South Wales and Western Australia. This comes after regulators accused the company of turning a blind eye to money laundering at its properties and of doing business with Macau-based junket operators with links to organized crime.</p>n<p>The good news for Aspinalls is that Crown was last month given the all-clear to continue operating its flagship property in Melbourne under its new owner, the US private equity giant Blackstone. That decision came after Aspinall’s financial report was written, <em>the Standard</em> reports.</p>n<p>Crown was stripped of its Sydney license in 2020 but was reissued with a provisional license in 2022 and remains under probation.</p>n<p>Aspinalls was founded in the 1960s by John Aspinall, an eccentric zoo owner, who spent the vast fortune he amassed from his casino on building a huge collection of wild animals.</p>n<p>The post <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/crown-resorts-position-puts-londons-aspinalls-casino-in-peril/">Crown Resorts Position Puts London&#8217;s Aspinalls Casino in Peril</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.casino.org/news">Casino.org</a>.</p>n', 'Crown Resorts Position Puts London&#8217;s Aspinalls Casino in Peril', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'crown-resorts-position-puts-londons-aspinalls-casino-in-peril', '', '', '2024-04-14 20:47:16', '2024-04-14 20:47:16', '', 0, 'https://www.casino.org/news/?p=317313', 0, 'post', '', 0),

This was the culmination of “Operation E-Pirate,” a massive Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) investigation into criminal money laundering networks.</p>n<p>The case collapsed in 2019 when prosecutors inadvertently disclosed the name of a key secret government witness during a standard evidence disclosure.

Identified by his casino rewards card, Liu is believed to be part of a professional cheating ring that has previously hit the Golden Nugget and the Imperial Palace casinos in Biloxi, Mississippi.</p>n<h2>Modus Operandi</h2>n<p>The group’s MO is to use a cut card to fan out the deck for a split second, long enough for a recording device to capture the order of the cards. While police didn&#8217;t go into detail, the image was likely then relayed to an accomplice who would study the deck and advise Lui about when to bet optimally via a concealed earpiece.</p>n<p>The goal of baccarat is to bet on the hand with the highest value, which is nine. Tens and face cards count as zero, an ace counts as one, and all the other cards count as their face value.</p>n<p>In punto banco baccarat, the shoe is held by one of the players, who deals cards on the dealer’s instruction, which may have allowed Liu his moment.</p>n<p><strong>Liu&#8217;s technique, however, appeared to be clumsy, at least as described in the police report, and it immediately aroused suspicion of casino security.</strong></p>n<p>Troopers launched an investigation into Liu after security reported he was acting suspiciously and cutting the deck in an “unusual manner.”</p>n<h2>Camera Angles</h2>n<p>Investigators studied the security tape and noticed that at around 1:35 a.m. on Saturday, February 24, Liu was seen launching an app on his cellphone while seated at a baccarat table. He darkened the screen to prevent security from seeing what he was doing, police said.</p>n<div class="callout">n<p>He then placed the phone under a stack of baccarat scorecards. After the dealer had shuffled and allowed Liu to cut the deck, the player was seen to move the dealer’s hands around to “dictate how [the dealer] should be holding the deck,” according to the complaint. This resulted in a “verbal exchange” between Liu and the dealer.</p>n</div>n<p>Then, at around 6:50 p.m. Sunday, Liu again placed his cell phone underneath a stack of scorecards. While cutting the deck, Liu put both hands on the deck as well as the dealer&#8217;s hand, rotating the deck and attempting to forcefully fan it out, according to the complaint.</p>n<p>State police have a warrant for Liu’s arrest that charges him with two misdemeanor counts of winning by fraud or trickery.</p>n<p>The post <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/mohegan-pennsylvania-baccarat-cheater-sought-for-secretly-recording-cards/">Mohegan Pennsylvania Baccarat Cheater Sought for Secretly Recording Cards</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.casino.org/news">Casino.org</a>.</p>n', 'Mohegan Pennsylvania Baccarat Cheater Sought for Secretly Recording Cards', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'mohegan-pennsylvania-baccarat-cheater-sought-for-secretly-recording-cards', '', '', '2024-03-05 23:15:45', '2024-03-05 23:15:45', '', 0, 'https://www.casino.org/news/?p=313157', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The Role of Quantum Computers in Generating Certified Randomness Traditional computing methods rely on pseudorandom number generators, which, while effective, are not truly random and are susceptible to manipulation or breaches.

Announced on 26 March 2025, the reforms are aimed at simplifying bonuses, improving transparency, and reducing player harm—especially ahead of the holiday season when gambling activity traditionally surges. Set to take effect on 19 December 2025, the changes include a ban on mixed product promotional offers—bonuses that require players to participate in more than one type of gambling product, such as both sports betting and online slots, to unlock rewards.

This move follows long-standing concerns over KRAIL’s inefficiency in regulating the gambling industry.

Or something in between those extremes? Depending on the interpretation, Frederick Nietzsche\'s response to eternal occurrence was as a sort of affirmation of life test and a gauge as to how well someone has been able to build a life which is worth infinitely repeating. Let\'s park that line of thought for now, though and take a look not at recurrence but resurrection. The slot is <strong>Resurrecting Riches</strong>, and its maker, <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/pragmatic-play-casinos/">Pragmatic Play</a>, has taken the opportunity to build a Money symbol collection game themed with phoenixes.</p>\n<p>So the phoenix imagery represents the \'Resurrecting\' part of the title, and the mountains of gold coins on the screen represent the \'Riches\' part. A real dragon\'s hoard of a location hosts the game, where loot flows around a <strong>6x3 grid</strong>. It\'s a pretty standard view that gets the point of the game across just fine, but it didn\'t trigger much \'get a load of this\' excitement.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154220" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-154220" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-1.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="510"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - base game</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Players are tasked with choosing a stake of <strong>20 c to $/€240</strong> per spin before embarking on the search for potential riches, and a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/bonus-buy-slots/">bonus buy</a> is available as well for those who\'d prefer to skip the base game. A <strong>highly volatile</strong> math model has been programmed in, producing an <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/best-rtp-slots/">RTP</a> of <strong>96.5%</strong> at the highest setting, while<strong> 729 ways to win</strong> are provided for landing winning combinations of 3 to 6 OAK along, beginning from the rightmost reel.</p>\n<p>On the payable are 10-A card rank low pays, and 6 gemstones high pays. When hitting a 6 OAK royal win, the payout is <strong>1 to 2 times the bet</strong>, while a line of 6 identical premium gem symbols pays <strong>3 to 10 times the bet</strong>. There are no wild symbols in the game, but there are Mystery symbols. When Mystery symbols hit, they all transform into the same paying symbol or Money symbol.</p>\n<h2>Resurrecting Riches: Slot Features</h2>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154221" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154221" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-2.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="509"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Resurrecting Riches has a Money symbol collect feature, present in the base game and in free spins, with an added shadow, resurrecting element in the bonus round, which can be bought.</p>\n<h3>Money &amp; Collect Symbols</h3>\n<p>The <strong>Money symbol</strong> appears on all reels except the rightmost reel. It hits with a possible value of <strong>1x to 500x the bet</strong> or <strong>bonus</strong>. The <strong>Collect symbol</strong> appears only on the rightmost reel, and only one can land per spin. When a Collect symbol hits, after line wins have paid, it<strong> expands</strong> to cover the whole reel and the values of all Money symbols in view are<strong> awarded</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Respin Feature</h3>\n<p>In the base game, when <strong>5 Money symbols</strong> hit and <strong>no Collect symbol</strong> lands, after line wins are paid, the Money symbols remain in view, and the game initiates a <strong>respin</strong>. Only Money symbols and Collect symbols may land after the respin. If a Collect symbol hits, then the Money symbol values on the reels are <strong>paid</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Free Spins</h3>\n<p>Whenever a <strong>Money symbol</strong> displaying <strong>bonus is collected</strong>, the free spins round is triggered, and players <strong>randomly get 8, 10, or 12 free spins</strong> depending on what is revealed. During the bonus, all Money symbols that hit <strong>leave a shadow</strong> of themselves behind the symbols in the position they landed on. Each time a <strong>Collect symbol</strong> lands, after win lines are <strong>paid</strong>, the Money symbols from behind the symbols <strong>return to the front</strong>, and their values are <strong>awarded</strong>. If a new Money symbol lands on a position that has already been highlighted with a shadow, its value is added to the value of the shadow for the remainder of the round. At least one Collect symbol is <strong>guaranteed</strong> to land during the free spins feature. Free spins <strong>cannot be retriggered</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Bonus Buy</h3>\n<p>Players can trigger the free spins round from the base game by buying it at <strong>80 times the bet</strong>. On the triggering spin, a Collect symbol and one Money symbol with the bonus value will land with no other winnings. The highest RTP when doing so is 96.58%.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154222" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154222" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-3.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="510"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<h2>Resurrecting Riches: Slot Verdict</h2>\n<p>Whilst okay for what it is, the thought of playing Resurrecting Riches over and over again for eternity induced waves of nausea, presumably failing Nietzsche\'s eternal recurrence test. It\'s not that it\'s a bad game per se, but it did feel like one of those back-of-the-napkin slots which Pragmatic Play is able to pop out in its sleep. At heart, Resurrecting Riches is a basic Money symbol collection game, not exactly a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/big-bass-bonanza-1000-pragmatic-play-slot-review/"><em>Big Bass Bonanza</em></a> wannabe, surprisingly, but maybe a stripped-down version of that. To ensure Resurrecting Riches isn\'t completely run of the mill, though, Pragmatic Play has added the bonus round shadowing effect to landed Money symbols.</p>\n<p>The shadow effect has its moments. Watching values stack up behind regular symbols might be fun for some gamblers, and at least one Collector symbol is guaranteed to land sooner or later in the free spins round to collect whatever values might be there. Resurrecting Riches does not possess huge winning potential, capped at <strong>4,000 times the bet</strong>, but that figure doesn\'t seem out of place when placed aside everything else the game has to offer. The free spins round is similar in some ways to the one Pragmatic Play put into <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/treasure-wild-pragmatic-play-slot-review/"><em>Treasure Wild</em></a>, where Money symbol values are added to a pot, which is awarded when wild symbols hit. The two games actually look quite similar, as well, so perhaps some crossover occurred when the studio was designing Resurrecting Riches.</p>\n<p>To wrap things up, Resurrecting Riches isn\'t the worst Money symbol collecting game to ever hit the market, but it\'s not a very thrilling one either. The shadow aspect to the free spins round might be enough to convince curious collectors to have a look, but whether it\'s strong enough to convince them to stick around medium to long term is a pertinent question.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/resurrecting-riches-pragmatic-play-slot-review/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'Resurrecting Riches  (Bigwinboard.com)', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'resurrecting-riches-bigwinboard-com', '', '', '2025-04-02 17:10:51', '2025-04-02 17:10:51', '', 0, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/online-casino/resurrecting-riches-bigwinboard-com/', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The concept was explored in the 2006 film \'<em><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0450259/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blood Diamond</a></em>\' starring Leonardo DiCaprio, sporting an impressive Zimbabwean accent, and has been brought over to the reels and ways of online gambling in a slot of the same name. Titled, therefore, <strong>Blood Diamond</strong>, it serves as a vehicle for developer <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/nolimit-city/">Nolimit City</a> to explore a darker side of the diamond industry alongside synced reels, xNudge Wilds, and a whole lot more.</p>\n<p>Blood Diamond is probably not the slot you want to play to get a taste of Nolimit City\'s irreverent wave in the face of convention-style humour. There are certainly no toilet jokes this time around as players find themselves \'deep in the desert\' where the mining of precious rocks is paid for in \'sweat, tears, and plenty of blood.\' Much like the Leonardo Decaprio film, one man has found an enormous chunk of shiny carbon and is willing to risk life and limb stealing it from the nasty mine owners. Guess it would be a tempting way for people in that situation to gain a chance at freedom with big wads of blood diamond money rather than let baddies profit from it.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154195" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154195" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Blood-Diamond-slot-1.jpg" alt="Blood Diamond slot" width="900" height="507"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Blood Diamond slot - base game</figcaption></figure>\n<p>The gaming takes place on a <strong>5x4 grid</strong> with <strong>1,024 ways to win</strong>, which stays that way since there is no splitting of symbols or reel expansion. With a top <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/best-rtp-slots/">RTP</a> of <strong>96.14%</strong>, players may wager <strong>20 c to $/€100 per spin</strong> and have access to numerous boosters and buys. In this <strong>highly volatile</strong> slot, winning combinations are formed when matching symbols land on at least 3 adjacent reels starting from the leftmost side of the matrix.</p>\n<p>Blood Diamond lands 10 pay symbols on its reels. Five are walkie-talkies, chains, whips, guns, and fist-clenching diamonds, while the high pays are made up of 5 character symbols. Winning combinations of 5 low pays award <strong>0.5-0.7 times the bet</strong>, or <strong>1 to 2 times the bet</strong> is paid for hitting 5 character symbol combinations. The character symbols can land in sizes of <strong>up to 1x4</strong>, counting as the number of positions they cover on the reel. Regular wilds and all other wilds substitute for any regular paying symbols and are worth <strong>2x the bet</strong> for a 5 wild symbol win.</p>\n<h2>Blood Diamond: Slot Features</h2>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154196" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154196" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Blood-Diamond-slot-2.jpg" alt="Blood Diamond slot" width="900" height="506"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Blood Diamond slot - free spins trigger</figcaption></figure>\n<p>As its features, Blood Diamond has Chained Reels, xNudge Wilds, xNudge Desire, 3 bonus rounds, Nolimit Boosters, and a range of <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/bonus-buy-slots/">bonus buys</a>.</p>\n<h3>Modifiers</h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Chained Reels</strong> - Chained Reels may activate on any spin. When they do, 2 or more reels are linked, meaning the same symbols land adjacent to each other on all linked reels.</li>\n<li><strong>xNudge Wild</strong> - An xNudge Wild is a wild symbol that always nudges to cover the reel, and each nudge increases the xNudge Wild\'s multiplier by 1. When more than one xNudge Wild is part of the same win, the multipliers are added together. The xNudge Wild multiplier acts as a win multiplier.</li>\n<li><strong>xNudge Desire</strong> - xNudge Desire triggers on any main game spin, adding 1 to 5 xNudge Wilds to the reels. If an xNudge Wild is added to a Chained Reel, all Chained Reels will contain the xNudge.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Oppression Spins</h3>\n<p>Landing <strong>3 scatters</strong> awards <strong>5 Oppression Spins</strong>. The third scatter, a <strong>Big Bonus scatter</strong>, awards one of the following <strong>upgrade features</strong> during the bonus trigger - additional spins, additional win multiplier, additional guaranteed Chained Reels, guaranteed xNudge Desire on each spin, Guaranteed xNudge on each spin, or the max win.</p>\n<p>During Oppression Spins, <strong>at least 2 reels</strong> will always be <strong>chained</strong> on each spin. Any multiplier from an xNudge Wild or Big Bonus symbol is <strong>persistent</strong> throughout the round. <strong>Up to 3</strong> Big Bonus symbols may land on a spin during the feature, <strong>awarding one of the upgrade features</strong>.

Next is the xNudge Booster, where for<strong> 35x the bet</strong>, the player is guaranteed an xNudge Wild, while <strong>500x</strong> buys the xNudge Desire. Players can also buy the free spin rounds. Oppression Spins cost <strong>85x the bet</strong>, Domination Spins cost <strong>200x</strong>, Enslavement Spins <strong>500x</strong>, and a lucky draw option is<strong> 261x the bet</strong>.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154199" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154199" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Blood-Diamond-slot-4.jpg" alt="Blood Diamond slot" width="900" height="505"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Blood Diamond slot - xNudge Desire feature</figcaption></figure>\n<h2>Blood Diamond: Slot Verdict</h2>\n<p>The diamond industry is a funny one, isn\'t it? Not haha funny, but take the case of brown-coloured diamonds, for instance. Apparently, where once they were seen as only fit for industrial use, a clever marketing technique referring to them as \'chocolate diamonds\' shifted their perception, causing a rise in demand for brown diamonds by jewellery makers and wearers due to their now desirably earthy look. Perhaps this is more a reflection of consumer manipulation and desire manufacture than anything else.</p>\n<p>Speaking of desire, there were a few somethings about Blood Diamond\'s gameplay that came across as a sort of <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/twin-spin-netent-slot-review/"><em>Twin Spin</em></a> meets <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/immortal-romance-2-stormcraft-studios-slot-review/"><em>Immortal Romance</em></a> type deal. To be fair, Nolimit City has been pretty upfront about possible third-party influence, as, for instance, the xNudge Desire feature has a very similar name to the infamous Wild Desire feature from <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/games-global/">Games Global</a>\'s (then Microgaming\'s) vampire classic. As a result, such familiarity with two of the key features means Blood Diamond isn\'t exactly oozing mechanical originality, but extras like bonus round upgrades are able to boost the free spins experience, and this is a game that may improve when more features are simultaneously firing. Interestingly, despite a slot focusing on bare naked wealth grabs, Blood Diamond is a surprisingly modest potential game for Nolimit City, topping out at <strong>14,780 times the stake</strong>.</p>\n<p>Just as conflict diamonds are no laughing matter, there aren\'t many chuckle moments in Blood Diamond the slot. Even when wallowing in some dark places, Nolimit City slots are often shot through with stabs of humour to lighten the mood. Not so much Blood Diamond, which takes heavy subject matter and ensures cheap laughs are left out of the mix so as not to dilute the seriousness. Slots like <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/mental-nolimit-city-slot-review/"><em>Mental</em></a>/<a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/mental-2-nolimit-city-slot-review/"><em>Mental 2</em></a> do a similar thing, but there\'s something about the grim reality of things like greed, slavery, and exploitation that caused Blood Diamond to be a more thematically sobering experience than they usually are from Nolimit City. Not irreverently making everything the butt of a cheap joke is no bad thing, though, and as well as a slickly produced show, the scarcity of conflict diamond-associated online slots helps raise the originality stakes</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/blood-diamond-nolimit-city-slot-review/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'Blood Diamond  (Bigwinboard.com)', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'blood-diamond-bigwinboard-com', '', '', '2025-04-02 17:10:45', '2025-04-02 17:10:45', '', 0, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/online-casino/blood-diamond-bigwinboard-com/', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Either you achieve the adulation of your peers, capture the imagination of the public and get showered in riches, or… you die. Not too many people these days would be keen on rolling the dice to decide which of those contrasting outcomes plays out. Fortunately, we don\'t have to be quite so dramatic while indulging in an all-or-nothing fantasy by taking part in slots such as <strong>Backseat Gaming</strong>\'s release <strong>Gladius Death or Glory</strong>. In this unique coin game, steeped in Ancient Rome, Shield symbols reveal Coins or special symbols in both the base game and a hold \'n\' win bonus round.</p>\n<p>Unlike <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/hacksaw-gaming/">Hacksaw Gaming</a>\'s similarly themed <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/reign-of-rome-hacksaw-gaming-slot-review/"><em>Reign of Rome</em></a>, reviewed around the same time, Gladius Death or Glory isn\'t a slot that goes heavy on atmosphere. Where <em>Reign of Rome</em> was like stepping onto a smoky battlefield as enemy warriors stumble out of the mist in confrontation, Gladius Death or Glory has more of an Asterix and Obelix cartoon feel to it. It is pleasantly clean, to be sure, but lacks the same emotional reaction and depth. However, variety is no bad thing, and as well as graphical variety, Gladius Death or Glory operates in a fairly unique way, too.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154175" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154175" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Gladius-Death-or-Glory-slot-1.jpg" alt="Gladius Death or Glory slot" width="900" height="506"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Gladius Death or Glory slot - base game</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Gladius Death or Glory is a <strong>highly volatile</strong> gambling machine that takes place on a <strong>5x5 matrix</strong>. Contrary to a regular slot that creates winning combinations with the aid of paylines, ways, clusters, or scatters, Gladius Death or Glory steams off in another direction. Not only are those pay systems absent, but so are winning combinations as well. Instead, on each base game spin, <strong>only Shield symbols</strong>, <strong>scatter symbols</strong>, and <strong>valueless crossed sword symbols</strong> may land. Shield symbols reveal Coins or special symbols that are used to award monetary rewards and trigger the bonus round. When betting <strong>10 c to $/€100</strong> on each spin, the highest of the two <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/best-rtp-slots/">RTP</a> configurations is <strong>96.26%</strong>.</p>\n<h2>Gladius Death or Glory: Slot Features</h2>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154176" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154176" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Gladius-Death-or-Glory-slot-2.jpg" alt="Gladius Death or Glory slot" width="900" height="505"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Gladius Death or Glory slot - hold &amp; spin feature</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Going deeper, Shield symbols <strong>reveal</strong> Bronze, Silver, or Gold Coins, Multipliers, Collectors, or Bonus symbols. <strong>Bronze Coins</strong> have values of 1 to 4, <strong>Silver Coins</strong> have values of 5 to 50, and <strong>Gold Coins</strong> have values of 100 to 1,000. These values represent <strong>multiples of the bet</strong>.</p>\n<p>After all Coins and special symbols have been revealed, empty <strong>Collector symbols</strong> activate to <strong>collect</strong> the values of all Coins, storing their total value. Collector symbols do not collect the values of other Collector symbols. Collected Coins<strong> transform</strong> back into Shield symbols again and reveal new Coins or special symbols. This repeats until no empty Collector symbols are available on the reels.</p>\n<p>After all Coins and Collector symbols have been revealed and collected, <strong>Multiplier symbols</strong> activate to multiply all Coins and Collector symbols by<strong> x2, x3, x4, x5, x10, or x20</strong>. At the end of the spin, all Coins and Collector symbols are added together and multiplied by the bet to calculate the final win.</p>\n<h3>Death or Glory Bonus</h3>\n<p>Getting <strong>3 bonus scatters</strong> triggers the Death or Glory bonus round. Bonus symbols may be revealed by Shields or land organically (they do not appear during the actual round, however). During the bonus, Shield symbols are <strong>sticky</strong>, and they <strong>reveal</strong> new Coins, Multipliers, or Collector symbols on each spin. A total of <strong>3 lives</strong> are awarded, and they <strong>reset</strong> when a new Shield symbol lands. Each life represents 1 spin. When all 3 lives have been consumed without a reset, the <strong>round ends</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Bonus Buy</h3>\n<p>BonusHunt Feature spins costing <strong>2x the bet</strong> make each spin 3 times more likely to trigger a bonus round, while Shield FeatureSpins costing <strong>100x</strong> fill the entire grid with Shield symbols. It is also possible to buy the Death or Glory bonus round for <strong>150x the bet</strong>.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154177" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154177" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Gladius-Death-or-Glory-slot-3.jpg" alt="Gladius Death or Glory slot" width="900" height="507"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Gladius Death or Glory slot - feature buy options</figcaption></figure>\n<h2>Gladius Death or Glory: Slot Verdict</h2>\n<p>There was more than a whiff of <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/relax-gaming/">Relax Gaming</a>\'s <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/money-cart-3-relax-gaming-slot-review/">Money Cart</a> range to Gladius Death or Glory, though with a handful of key differences. Not least of which is a theme change that sees Ancient Rome return to the reels instead of trains. Rome is a long-standing stalwart of the online gambling scene, and Gladius Death or Glory makes fairly decent use of the subject matter. As alluded to, the look is a clean, clear, sharp one, and while the theme presentation doesn\'t exactly take over the senses to pull you deep into a richly absorbing gaming world, it\'s fine enough.</p>\n<p>Like <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/money-cart-4-relax-gaming-slot-review/">Money Cart</a>, the base game is, in some ways, an antechamber for the bonus round. However, one critical difference is that in Gladius Death or Glory, it is also possible to win dough while battling through the base game. A substantial amount of potential dough, too, as the <strong>15,000x the bet</strong> win cap is achievable in both phases of play. The base game may suffer from dead spin syndrome at times, though this can happen in any slot, but it can also surprise with solid Coin symbol values, boosted when lucky by Collector and Multiplier symbols. Triggering the bonus round might be less frequent than a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/money-cart-relax-gaming-slot-review/">Money Cart</a> slot, but the wait time between rounds is generally more eventful and potentially quite profitable.</p>\n<p>And, while there might not be a long list of special symbols to be on the lookout for during free spins, the way Shield symbols not only stick but activate on every single free spin is quite an entertaining idea and helps Gladius Death or Glory stand apart from regular hold \'n\' win slots. All in all, when designing Gladius Death or Glory, Backseat Gaming has brought together several interesting elements to create a fairly decent Money Cart/hold \'n\' win coin game alternative.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/gladius-death-or-glory-backseat-gaming-slot-review/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'Gladius Death or Glory  (Bigwinboard.com)', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'gladius-death-or-glory-bigwinboard-com', '', '', '2025-04-02 17:10:50', '2025-04-02 17:10:50', '', 0, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/online-casino/gladius-death-or-glory-bigwinboard-com/', 0, 'post', '', 0),

If you\'re one of those people, well, maybe give <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/playngo/">Play\'n GO</a>\'s slot <strong>Treats of Terror</strong> a miss. Despite the name, this is not a scary horror game but one that uses a very light and playful definition of the word \'terror\', with a dash of humour thrown in as a substitute. On the mechanical side, Treats of Terror is a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/scatter-paying-slots/">scatter pays slot</a> (a first from PnG?) with a prize symbol collection feature and multiplier free spins.</p>\n<p>It won\'t take long, like nanoseconds, to realise that Treats of Terror is not a scary slot. On the contrary, its vaguely Cuphead, <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/money-jar-slotmill-slot-review/"><em>Money Jar</em></a>/<a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/money-jar-2-slotmill-slot-review/"><em>Money Jar 2</em></a> vibe is geared more for chuckles than inducing terror. Unless perhaps for players with a crippling fear of inanimate objects that have been made to look alive. The setting is a local movie theatre, where a chainsaw-wielding maniac is terrorising food items as they run for cover. It\'s all a bit silly, but not in a bad way, while the icing on the not taking itself too seriously cake is an atmospheric 80s horror soundtrack.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153643" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-153643" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/treats-of-terror-slot-1.jpg" alt="Treats of Terror slot" width="900" height="506"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Treats of Terror slot - base game</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Played on a <strong>5x5 grid matrix</strong>, Treats of Terror is a scatter pays slot, meaning <strong>6 or more matching symbols</strong> landing in any positions on the reels create a winning combination. The <strong>winning symbols</strong> are taken <strong>off the board</strong> and any spaces this makes are filled by symbols dropping downwards and new ones coming in the top. Cascading wins repeat as long as new wins appear after a drop. The <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/best-rtp-slots/">RTP</a> value at its highest configuration is <strong>96.2%</strong>, while the <strong>volatility is high</strong>. With a single way to play, gamblers choose a stake of<strong> 10 c to $/€100</strong> to let the terror begin.</p>\n<p>Treats of Terror\'s low pay symbols are like M&amp;M\'s with 10-A printed on them, while the high pays are a drink, a hotdog, and a box of popcorn characters. Scatter wins of 6 OAK in size award <strong>0.4x to 2x the bet</strong>, going up to <strong>2x to 20x</strong> for a 20+ sized scatter win. Treats of Terror does not have wild symbols.</p>\n<h2>Treats of Terror: Slot Features</h2>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153644" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-153644" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/treats-of-terror-slot-2.jpg" alt="Treats of Terror slot" width="900" height="506"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Treats of Terror slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Treats of Terror\'s feature treats are its Coin and Prize collection extra plus a free spins round that involves 3 stages and multipliers.</p>\n<h3>Coin and Prize Collection</h3>\n<p>On any spin, <strong>Coin or Prize symbols</strong> may appear. If they appear with a <strong>Collector symbol</strong>, the Collector collects these symbols. If <strong>more than one</strong> Collector symbol lands, this triggers more than one collect event, meaning each Collector symbol <strong>collects</strong> the Coin and Prize symbols in view. Coins are worth <strong>1 to 10 times the bet</strong>, and prize symbols are the 25x <strong>Mini</strong>, 100x <strong>Minor</strong>, 250x <strong>Major</strong>, and the 1,000x <strong>Grand</strong>. This feature is available in the base game and in free spins.</p>\n<h3>Free Spins</h3>\n<p>Hitting <strong>3, 4 or 5 scatters</strong> triggers <strong>8, 13 or 18 free spins</strong> with an <strong>x2 multiplier</strong>, respectively. To advance to the <strong>second stage</strong> of the free spins round, players must <strong>collect 5 scatters</strong> in the first stage. Moving to the second stage grants <strong>+5 extra free spins</strong>, and the <strong>multiplier is set to x3</strong>. Collecting 5 scatters at the second stage <strong>moves play to the third stage</strong>, awarding <strong>+5 free spins</strong> and the <strong>multiplier is set to x5</strong>.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153645" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-153645" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/treats-of-terror-slot-3.jpg" alt="Treats of Terror slot" width="900" height="507"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Treats of Terror slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<h2>Treats of Terror: Slot Verdict</h2>\n<p>In its own little way, Treats of Terror was quite entertaining. Looks and sounds played a big role in the game\'s enjoyment, as any possible terror or creep is offset by the wacky anthropomorphic food items on the screen. The villain, in particular, is hard to take seriously despite sporting a chainsaw and hacking things to bits. Perhaps if Treats of Terror used humans instead of food as its characters, the reaction might have been different, but doing so would have changed the game\'s entire vibe, which is fine as it is.</p>\n<p>Treats of Terror goes light on the features, too. There isn\'t a ton of them, for one thing, and the gaming components used aren\'t exactly bristling with innovation. It\'s a simple case of collecting modest Coin awards with the Collector, or more exciting, collecting Prize values worth up to 1,000x, as well as progressive multiplier free spins. Not exactly original stuff, so like snacking on junk food at the movies, there\'s little thought required beyond sitting back and enjoying what\'s happening on the screen. The metaphorical movie, in this instance, is a straightforward slasher flick where it\'s clear who the goodies and baddies are rather than a puzzling whodunnit that leaves you second-guessing every character till the credits roll. Surprisingly, the game proclaims max win possibilities of <strong>10,000x the bet</strong>, which could be said is more of a dream scenario than one that is likely to occur anytime soon.</p>\n<p>So, maybe don\'t play Treats of Terror if you want to experience a touch of real dread, and maybe don\'t play it if you\'re in the mood for crazy creative gameplay ideas, either. The presentation is such that it\'s not a hard slot to enjoy, for a while. But there\'s not a whole lot to the game either, so like finishing off a massive bucket of popcorn, instead of waves of satisfaction, you may just feel bloated and salty.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/treats-of-terror-playn-go-slot-review/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'Treats of Terror  (Bigwinboard.com)', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'treats-of-terror-bigwinboard-com', '', '', '2025-04-02 17:10:58', '2025-04-02 17:10:58', '', 0, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/online-casino/treats-of-terror-bigwinboard-com/', 0, 'post', '', 0),

Or something in between those extremes? Depending on the interpretation, Frederick Nietzsche\'s response to eternal occurrence was as a sort of affirmation of life test and a gauge as to how well someone has been able to build a life which is worth infinitely repeating. Let\'s park that line of thought for now, though and take a look not at recurrence but resurrection. The slot is <strong>Resurrecting Riches</strong>, and its maker, <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/pragmatic-play-casinos/">Pragmatic Play</a>, has taken the opportunity to build a Money symbol collection game themed with phoenixes.</p>\n<p>So the phoenix imagery represents the \'Resurrecting\' part of the title, and the mountains of gold coins on the screen represent the \'Riches\' part. A real dragon\'s hoard of a location hosts the game, where loot flows around a <strong>6x3 grid</strong>. It\'s a pretty standard view that gets the point of the game across just fine, but it didn\'t trigger much \'get a load of this\' excitement.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154220" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-154220" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-1.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="510"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - base game</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Players are tasked with choosing a stake of <strong>20 c to $/€240</strong> per spin before embarking on the search for potential riches, and a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/bonus-buy-slots/">bonus buy</a> is available as well for those who\'d prefer to skip the base game. A <strong>highly volatile</strong> math model has been programmed in, producing an <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/best-rtp-slots/">RTP</a> of <strong>96.5%</strong> at the highest setting, while<strong> 729 ways to win</strong> are provided for landing winning combinations of 3 to 6 OAK along, beginning from the rightmost reel.</p>\n<p>On the payable are 10-A card rank low pays, and 6 gemstones high pays. When hitting a 6 OAK royal win, the payout is <strong>1 to 2 times the bet</strong>, while a line of 6 identical premium gem symbols pays <strong>3 to 10 times the bet</strong>. There are no wild symbols in the game, but there are Mystery symbols. When Mystery symbols hit, they all transform into the same paying symbol or Money symbol.</p>\n<h2>Resurrecting Riches: Slot Features</h2>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154221" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154221" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-2.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="509"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<p>Resurrecting Riches has a Money symbol collect feature, present in the base game and in free spins, with an added shadow, resurrecting element in the bonus round, which can be bought.</p>\n<h3>Money &amp; Collect Symbols</h3>\n<p>The <strong>Money symbol</strong> appears on all reels except the rightmost reel. It hits with a possible value of <strong>1x to 500x the bet</strong> or <strong>bonus</strong>. The <strong>Collect symbol</strong> appears only on the rightmost reel, and only one can land per spin. When a Collect symbol hits, after line wins have paid, it<strong> expands</strong> to cover the whole reel and the values of all Money symbols in view are<strong> awarded</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Respin Feature</h3>\n<p>In the base game, when <strong>5 Money symbols</strong> hit and <strong>no Collect symbol</strong> lands, after line wins are paid, the Money symbols remain in view, and the game initiates a <strong>respin</strong>. Only Money symbols and Collect symbols may land after the respin. If a Collect symbol hits, then the Money symbol values on the reels are <strong>paid</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Free Spins</h3>\n<p>Whenever a <strong>Money symbol</strong> displaying <strong>bonus is collected</strong>, the free spins round is triggered, and players <strong>randomly get 8, 10, or 12 free spins</strong> depending on what is revealed. During the bonus, all Money symbols that hit <strong>leave a shadow</strong> of themselves behind the symbols in the position they landed on. Each time a <strong>Collect symbol</strong> lands, after win lines are <strong>paid</strong>, the Money symbols from behind the symbols <strong>return to the front</strong>, and their values are <strong>awarded</strong>. If a new Money symbol lands on a position that has already been highlighted with a shadow, its value is added to the value of the shadow for the remainder of the round. At least one Collect symbol is <strong>guaranteed</strong> to land during the free spins feature. Free spins <strong>cannot be retriggered</strong>.</p>\n<h3>Bonus Buy</h3>\n<p>Players can trigger the free spins round from the base game by buying it at <strong>80 times the bet</strong>. On the triggering spin, a Collect symbol and one Money symbol with the bonus value will land with no other winnings. The highest RTP when doing so is 96.58%.</p>\n<figure aria-describedby="caption-attachment-154222" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-154222" src="https://www.bigwinboard.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Resurrecting-Riches-slot-3.jpg" alt="Resurrecting Riches slot" width="900" height="510"/><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Resurrecting Riches slot - free spins</figcaption></figure>\n<h2>Resurrecting Riches: Slot Verdict</h2>\n<p>Whilst okay for what it is, the thought of playing Resurrecting Riches over and over again for eternity induced waves of nausea, presumably failing Nietzsche\'s eternal recurrence test. It\'s not that it\'s a bad game per se, but it did feel like one of those back-of-the-napkin slots which Pragmatic Play is able to pop out in its sleep. At heart, Resurrecting Riches is a basic Money symbol collection game, not exactly a <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/big-bass-bonanza-1000-pragmatic-play-slot-review/"><em>Big Bass Bonanza</em></a> wannabe, surprisingly, but maybe a stripped-down version of that. To ensure Resurrecting Riches isn\'t completely run of the mill, though, Pragmatic Play has added the bonus round shadowing effect to landed Money symbols.</p>\n<p>The shadow effect has its moments. Watching values stack up behind regular symbols might be fun for some gamblers, and at least one Collector symbol is guaranteed to land sooner or later in the free spins round to collect whatever values might be there. Resurrecting Riches does not possess huge winning potential, capped at <strong>4,000 times the bet</strong>, but that figure doesn\'t seem out of place when placed aside everything else the game has to offer. The free spins round is similar in some ways to the one Pragmatic Play put into <a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/treasure-wild-pragmatic-play-slot-review/"><em>Treasure Wild</em></a>, where Money symbol values are added to a pot, which is awarded when wild symbols hit. The two games actually look quite similar, as well, so perhaps some crossover occurred when the studio was designing Resurrecting Riches.</p>\n<p>To wrap things up, Resurrecting Riches isn\'t the worst Money symbol collecting game to ever hit the market, but it\'s not a very thrilling one either. The shadow aspect to the free spins round might be enough to convince curious collectors to have a look, but whether it\'s strong enough to convince them to stick around medium to long term is a pertinent question.</p>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<p><a href="https://www.bigwinboard.com/resurrecting-riches-pragmatic-play-slot-review/" target="_blank" class="feedzy-rss-link-icon">Read More</a></p><!-- /wp:html -->', 'Resurrecting Riches  (Bigwinboard.com)', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2102-revision-v1', '', '', '2025-04-02 17:10:51', '2025-04-02 17:10:51', '', 2102, 'https://congobet.cd/blog/?p=2107', 0, 'revision', '', 0),
