BGaming delves into the mysterious world of a private 19th-century London social club with its new slot game, Gold Magnate. This high-volatility slot features a Big Ben Bonus symbol, a Multiplier round, a Buy Bonus option, and a unique History tracker. Set on a 5x3 board game-style field, the symbols resemble cards, showcasing larger-than-life characters and a lucrative Bonus symbol featuring the iconic Big Ben. Landing three Big Ben cards in a single spin triggers the Multiplier round. If four or five Big Ben symbols appear, players can multiply their Bonus round winnings by x3 or x10, respectively. At the start of the Bonus game, six random multiplier cards with values ranging from x5 to x999 are revealed and then hidden to build excitement. Players roll a dice to randomly select a card adorned with fictional steampunk machines, then turn it over to reveal the multiplier amount that will be applied to their bet. #igaming #gambling #gamblingnews #casino

Philippe Tremblay, director of subscriptions for the prominent video game publisher Ubisoft, expressed a rather disturbing outlook on the evolution of digital ownership in gaming. He suggested that consumers need to get “comfortable” with the concept of no longer owning the games they purchase.  Tremblay's remarks came during a discussion about the challenges facing Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+—a model similar to Netflix but tailored for fans of iconic franchises like “Assassin’s Creed.” However, these comments resonated beyond the scope of the company, casting a shadow over the future of digital media ownership as a whole—or the illusion of ownership, to be exact. #ubisoft #videogames #ownership #digitalmedia FULL STORY: www.thecapitalculture.com
