Leading Malta based game studio RubyPlay has released its latest video slot game ‘Shake Shake Leprechaun’ which is now available at all online casino which carry their game content.

Shake Shake Leprechaun’ is a 5 reel, 4 row video slot with a total of 50 fixed pay lines that is playable from €0.20 to €30 per spin and features a rainbow filled with coins, prizes and lucrative rewards that shower down on players.

Regular symbols on the reels consist of the A-J royals plus four-leafed clovers, the Leprechaun’s shoes, Celtic harps, his hat and the Leprechaun himself who is the most lucrative regular symbol in the video slot.

The Wild is a Pot of Gold that shows up anywhere on the reels and helps to form wins by substituting for regular symbols.

The Scatter is the Rush Fever symbol that unlocks the Rush Fever Bonus Round by landing 3 or more on a single spin.

The Shake the Rainbow Bonus feature activates at random.

Coins drop down onto the reels and act as Wilds and can award a prize of up to 100x or up to 100 Shake Shake Leprechaun Free Spins.

Ittai Zur, Chief Operating Officer at RubyPlay, commented on the new title by saying that obviously as a game studio it is rather clichéd to use the classic Irish Luck theme in a game.  He went on to say that they think that by using their unique Shake Shake game mechanic in Shake Shake Leprechaun it adds a really exciting twist to the game.  He added that they had great fun creating the game, and they hope their players love it as well.

The Japanese Racing Association is planning to partially reopen more of its Park Wins, Wins and J-Place off-track betting (OTB) facilities as from Saturday, 12th September.

All OTB facilities were closed in February due to the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic but in July these facilities began reopening.

The partial reopening will include several restrictions on opening hours, betting ticket sales and payouts.  Races will not be televised and odds information will not be provided in the facilities while additional safety measures will be put in place in order to prevent the spread of the virus.

A number of the facilities will reopen in order to accept wagers on each feature race that takes place at all racecourses and races will be open to prior-day wagers.  Other facilities will open to accept bets on races 9 through 12, and on races that are open to prior-day wagers.

Temperature and health checks for employees and mandatory use of face coverings and gloves for employees coming into direct contact with customers will be put in place in an endeavor to prevent the spread of the virus.

JRA will take temperature checks of customers prior to allowing them entry to the facilities, while face coverings must be worn and social distancing measures respected.

Anyone who has been in close contact with someone who has traveled to regions or countries with government travel restrictions or those arriving from such places will not be permitted in the facilities for a period of 14 days.

Visits must be made as quick as possible, while chairs, media halls and smoking areas within the facilities will not be available for use.

Japanese racing will remain behind closed doors until at least 4th October 2020.
