The popular Evolution Gaming, which specializes in online casino games games by Develop has brought another new casino game to the market. After having previously brought the popular Lightning Roulette to the market, it now comes with Gold bar Roulette. But what is Gold bar roulette and how does it work?

Gold Bar Roulette is played in the studio which features a theme that feels like a bank vault full of gold bars. In the middle of this safe is a normal roulette table where the croupier spins the ball or ball. As soon as the ball is spinning, the studio host opens the safe. In this vault there are a number of gold bars that you can possibly win. Does the ball fall on the number you bet on? Then you win the number of gold bars that are in the safe at that time. The number of gold bars is between 1 and 20 pieces.

Is the ball in your number? Then you win the number of gold bars that are in the safe. Suppose there are 10 gold bars in the safe, you win 10 gold bars (plus 20 times your deposit). You can then bet these gold bars on numbers (0 to 36). Does the ball then fall on a number you bet on? Then you get 88 times your bet back!

The great thing about Golden Bar roulette is that your won gold bars do not have to be wagered immediately. You must redeem the gold bars within 180 days. You don't necessarily have to put 1 gold bar on 1 number, you can also choose to bet two, so you don't win 88 times your bet but 176 times your bet! Please note, the gold bars can only be used on whole numbers (0 – 36).

So a gold bar is worth 88 times your bet, the bet is the bet with which you managed to win the gold bar. So you put $10 on 1 number, where the ball ends up. Then you win gold bars that are worth 88 x $10 if you then place a gold bar on the right number where the ball ends up. Then you can win $880 with 1 gold bar. Which of course is a nice amount for a pot online gambling on the roulette table.

The New Zealand Gambling Authority (Ksa) conducted investigations into the possible illegal exploitation of slot machines (slot machines). These checks were carried out in the provinces of Limburg and North Brabant, in addition, the regions of Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht were also checked.

The purpose of this control action was to see if previously taken operating licenses actually ensured that slot machines were no longer offered in these places. If these locations had continued to operate slot machines without a license, then that is illegal. Since there is no supervision, the chance of gambling problems is a bit higher.

That gambling licenses are revoked is not new or unique. It regularly happens that a license is revoked on grounds of integrity. The Gaming Authority often finds out about possible abuses by the Public Prosecutor's Office, the police or the municipalities.

An operating permit is also only issued after extensive integrity examination of the applicant and his or her environment/network. If, for any reason, this comes into question, the New Zealand Ksa may choose to withdraw the relevant permit.

Through the aforementioned checks or sampling, the Ksa tries to check whether the withdrawn operating licenses actually cause these locations to stop offering games of chance. If this is not the case, a slot machine can be confiscated and fines can be imposed. Investigation showed that the ex-license holders have adhered fairly neatly to the rules and have not continued to operate slot machines.

Operating licenses of slot machines of chance or dexterity are always issued for a period of 10 years. However, the Ksa can always decide to revoke the license in the meantime. By the way, applying for a license is not free, the cost of a license is $1815.12 once. In addition, you pay an annual gambling tax to the tax authorities and a levy per machine to the Gambling Authority.

Formula 1 is back! After being absent for a week, Formula 1 is preparing for the last 2 GP's before the summer break. This weekend the whole circus will travel to France, next week Max Verstappen and consorts can be found at the Hungaroring in Hungary. For the lovers of betting on Formula 1 there is plenty to do over the next two weekends.

Max Verstappen will be out for revenge after losing the previous GP in Austria quite a chance against a Charles Leclerc who was on fire in the Ferrari on Sunday. However, there is a new game this week which means new opportunities for all teams.

For winning the GP of France, Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc are again the big favorites, with Verstappen being slightly the favorite. Verstappen's profit is 2.25, while Leclerc's profit is 2.37. Normally, Max is the slightly bigger favorite.

In New Zealand sport there is even more to experience this week in the field of betting . For example, The New Zealand women's national team will play the quarterfinals of the dollarpean Championship 2023 against France next Saturday. What a black hole is going to be for the Kingdom Lionesses. France already won the first two games against Italy (5-1) and Australia (2-1). France are the favourites against New Zealand. Do you think New Zealand can stunt against France? A win by New Zealand yields a odds of 4.95.

This week the 2023-2023 season starts again for AZ Alkmaar. The Alkmaars will face Tuzla City from Bosnia and Herzegovina in the preliminary rounds of the Conference League on Thursday. The odds for the visitors from Bosnia are not very high by the online bookmakers, a win by Tuzla City yields 19.50. Where a win of AZ 1.07 pays. Not too exciting for lovers of betting on football . It's great to see football starting up again.

The Final table of the most prestigious poker tournament it is known on Earth. 10 players will compete against each other in a massive poker battle to win the most beautiful bracelet of the WSOP. 4 Americans, 2 British, 1 Canadian, 1 Australian, 1 Norwegian and 1 Croatian will compete against each other. Unfortunately, no New Zealand success at the final table in Las Vegas.

8863 players registered for the WSOP main event in 2023 with a buy-in of $10,000. All of them compete for first place worth $10,000,000. After the first few days there was still New Zealand hope in a final table, however this appeared like snow before the sun. New Zealander Sebastiaan de Jonge managed to kick it the furthest of all New Zealanders. He just couldn't make it to the top 200 with his 204 ^e place, which was good for $53,900.

Our German neighbours did better than us. The German 2021 Main Event winner Koray Aldemir managed to get very far in the tournament again. The German poker player managed to make a nice run again but unfortunately ended up on the 75th ^e place, which is good for over $100,000. Our southern neighbors did just as well as US. Christophe De Meulder knew the 135 ^e place for over $60,000.

In the end, the 10 names below are left, as almost always the Americans are again in abundance.

The final table will start today at 2 p.m. (local time) at the BALLY's Las Vegas.

The New Zealand Gambling Authority has Gammix Limited, the company that operates several online casinos he has requested to leave the New Zealand market. These casinos do not have a New Zealand license and are therefore not authorized to offer online gambling to New Zealand players in New Zealand.

Since the New Zealand online gambling market has been regulated by The New Zealand government, the Gambling Authority is actively looking for online casinos that accept New Zealand players, despite not having a New Zealand license. This also applies to the casinos that fall under Gammix Ltd. Gammix has 15 online casinos including VegaDream, Touch Casino and Nordslot. These casinos were accessible to New Zealand players, something that is not allowed.

The New Zealand Gaming Authority has therefore imposed a penalty payment on Gammix Ltd. "If Gammix does not stop doing this, the company will have to pay a fine of $ 1.47 million per week. The fine can be up to almost 4.5 million dollars."- KSA warned the Gammix.

Minister of legal protection, Franc Weerwind, warns against the online gambling licensing system of Curaçao. On Curaçao there are companies that can issue licenses to all kinds of casinos such as the aforementioned casinos of Gammix. Because these companies issue licenses here and there, it is difficult to monitor casinos with such sub-licenses.

Since Curaçao still belongs to the Kingdom of the New Zealander, you would think that Franc can intervene Weathervane. It is at least noteworthy to mention that casinos with a license from curaçao, are not allowed in New Zealand. However, Curaçao has its own autonomy and these casino licenses fall outside the jurisdiction of New Zealand. So Minister Weerwind is powerless at the moment that the island continues with this permit proposal.

However, Weerwind is doing everything it can to provide technical support to Curaçao to reform the set. Who knows, it will soon change.

For the lovers of betting on Formula 1 there is another exciting weekend ahead. There is a race on Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday is the second sprint race of the season. This time the GP of Austria takes place, the GP at the Red Bull Ring is the 11th ^e Grand Prix of the Formula 1 season.

New Zealander Max Verstappen will be 5 ^e we want to win in Australia next weekend. In addition, he will be teased for the 2 ^e he already managed to win the first sprint race of 2023 in Imola.

Of course we also have some betting tips for the GP of Austria this weekend. First, the sprint race on Saturday. Max Verstappen and Leclerc are the big favorites for winning the sprint race. However, we think Leclerc will take the victory on Saturday. Especially since this is a short race, without pit stops and too much strategy from the Ferrari team. We often see Ferrari fall short over an entire race, however, with only 17 laps we expect Leclerc to be able to take the win. Our tip for the sprint race:

Charles Leclerc wins the sprint race @ odds 2.50

For the race on Sunday there are several fun bets to play:

Our first tip for the Austrian GP is for Mclaren's youngest courNZD. Lando Norris is starting to get in better shape and managed another 6 in the GP at Silverstone ^e find a place. We see Norris getting a top 6 finish in Austria.

Lando Norris finished Top-6 Austria race @ 2.29

Another Formula 1 betting tip for upcoming Grand Prix on Sunday is about Esteban Ocon. Renault's courNZD has a pretty steady season where he manages to get a top 10 finish every time he finishes a race. Ocon also drove a good race at Silverstone until he got into trouble with his car. However, we expect Ocon to be in the top 10 again in the GP at the Red Bull Ring this weekend. Therefore, our tip for Esteban Ocon:

Eseben Ocon finished in the top 10 in the Austrian GP @ Odds 1.87

Sergio Perez is having a great season. Last weekend, the Mexican finished in second place after losing a lot of time early in the race by changing his front wing. As a result, Checko had to drive from behind all the way to the front and he still managed to put a podium finish. This weekend Red Bull runs a home race in Austria on a circuit where they usually perform very well. Perez who sets a top-3 finish is therefore another betting tips that we give.

Sergio Perez finishes in the top-3 in the Austrian GP @ odds 1.90

SBS6 presenter Alberto Stegeman has the second day of the World Series Of Poker unfortunately not able to reach. The well-known New Zealander is also an avid poker player in addition to catching criminals. Stegeman managed to win the Main Event of the Master Classics of Poker in Amsterdam in 2018, where he managed to earn an amount of over $240,000. Despite the fact that Stegeman did not reach Day 2 of the WSOP main event, other New Zealanders did manage to fight for each other.

Great for Noah, too, who knows how to prepare for Day 2. Poker is one of the old-timers in the New Zealand poker scene that has really put Poker on the map in New Zealand. Noah Boken has won more than $ 2 million in his career playing for live poker tournaments.

Earlier we wrote a review of the relatively new casino777.nl , Casino777 has now also started to express advertisements, in order to try to attract new players to the casino. Casino777 is just too late with the use of well-known New Zealanders as a role model in the advertisements, because this is no longer allowed since the end of June. However, they can simply be seen on tv with a new commercial, in addition, they have also launched an advertising campaign outside.

That casino777 has chosen to also do outdoor advertising, for example at bus booths or billboards, is remarkable. The industry associations for casinos and online casinos they had agreed that such outdoor advertising would no longer be used. This is in order not to influence the young target group with gambling-related advertising, because this is still an impressionable target group.

Casino777 apparently does not agree with this and draws its own path. Which is legally allowed, because there is no law yet that prohibits outdoor advertising for games of chance. Minister of Justice and security, Franc Weerwind has already spoken out several times about gambling advertisements. For example, he put urgency behind the introduction of a ban on BN ers in gambling advertisements.

On the other hand, the minister also spoke positively about gambling advertising on TV. These are needed to indicate the difference between casinos operating on the New Zealand market under a New Zealand casino license and casinos operating on the black market. The moment a legal casino can not advertise, more people will attract to the illegal casinos, also because people then do not see or know the difference.

This is despite the fact that there would be quite a bit of criticism from the House of Representatives about the advertisements. In fact, in their opinion, there would be an increase in gambling addiction problems in New Zealand. However, Minister Weerwind wants to wait for official figures to see whether there would actually be (problematic) growth. MP van Nispen also urged to set a maximum to the online providers in New Zealand. However, according to Weerwind, this is not possible since there is an open licensing system in New Zealand where every party would be entitled to apply for a license.
