Leading iGaming content provider Spinomenal has expanded its wildly popular Book of Rampage slots collection with the release of Book of Rampage – A Moonlight Tale. This game begins the next chapter of the Wildlife series.

This title whisks players into an adventure-filled wilderness, brought to life with an absorbing soundtrack under the stars. Book of Rampage – A Moonlight Tale features a snorting buffalo, a majestic horse, a vicious snake, and a ferocious wolf as its medium symbols.

At the heart of this enthralling game is the Golden buffalo book, serving as both the Wild and Scatter symbol. This pivotal symbol can substitute for any other symbol on the reels, boosting the chances of scoring winning combinations. The appearance of Wilds triggers not only generous multipliers (3 Wilds for x2, 4 Wilds for x25, and 5 Wilds for x250) but also awards players with ten free spins, offering layers of excitement and opportunities for big wins.

Before entering free spins, players must take their spin on the wheel of fortune to determine which symbol becomes the Expanding symbol. The Scatter cannot transform into the Expanding symbol. Should an Expanding symbol appear, it will expand across the screen, forming new pay lines that complement existing ones. There’s also the chance to retrigger the free spins feature, winning an additional ten free spins to boost payouts even further.

Spinomenal CO-CEO, Omer Henya commented: “Our Book of Rampage series has built an avid following thanks to its Wild West theme and A Moonlight Tale is the perfect complement. The game gives players another fun adventure while on the hunt for riches in the wild.”

Indonesia’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (Kominfo) has revealed plans to establish a task force to combat online gambling.

In a statement, Kominfo said the task force would comprise representatives of multiple government agencies including the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (PPATK) and the police.

It will also work with Interpol to combat cross-border cases given the government’s lack of past success in blocking foreign operators.

“Kominfo will oversee the digital space, OJK will manage accounts and PPATK will handle fund flows, and the police will carry out arrest and investigation duties,” said Usman Kansong, the Ministry’s Information and Public Communications Director.

Minister Budi Arie said: “The Ministry has also issued a warning to all social media platforms, cellular operators and internet service providers not to facilitate any form of online gambling promotion. We have done everything within the authority of Kominfo.

“We from the Ministry of Communication and Information are fully determined. At the beginning of the week I gathered all our teams at Kominfo to work together to eradicate online gambling.”
