However, the much-championed “volunteer army” of supporters who gave their time during previous vaccine rollouts has dissipated. With just days to go, the Royal Voluntary Service (RVS) is also appealing for volunteers to work as stewards at NHS vaccination sites in 55 areas.

Steve Russell, NHS director of vaccinations and immunisations, last week urged people to come forward, noting that the “fastest and largest vaccine drive in NHS history” would not have been possible without the volunteers.

Catherine Johnstone, chief executive of the RVS, reiterated the message, saying the NHS needed more people to step forward. “Any time you can offer at all will make an invaluable difference to the health of the most vulnerable people in your community this winter,” she said.

Stewards are needed at hundreds of vaccination sites that will operate across the country, including pharmacies, GP surgeries and village halls. They will assist with non-clinical tasks, including administration, queue management, car parking and supporting those who need extra help and can sign up online at nhsvolunteerresponders.org.uk.

Meanwhile, pharmacists have warned they do not have enough Covid vaccines.

While the programme has been planned for months, the first dual vaccine that tackles both the original Covid virus and the newer omicron variant was only authorised weeks ago, and the second on Saturday.

The Association of Independent Multiple Pharmacies (AIMP), which represents more than 3,000 pharmacies, says chemists have not received sufficient stock to meet demand.

Dr Leyla Hannbeck, chief executive of AIMP, said pharmacies were placing orders but only receiving a fraction of what they required.

She said she was worried patients would not return if they tried to get jabs only to find none available, affecting vaccine uptake.

The NHS has insisted there are no issues with deliveries and no stock caps placed on individual centres.

However, Dr Hannbeck suggested the NHS must be “hallucinating.”

“I don’t know if they are prioritising bigger vaccination sites or if there is a shortage but we have evidence that they are not sending the amount of vaccine being ordered,” she said.

The History of Aspire

This company has been focused on the online gaming industry since the very beginning. It was founded on the Mediterranean island of Malta, where its headquarters remain to this day. It also has a major office in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Other names associated with this company include NeoPoint Technologies, which was originally registered on the UK overseas territory of Gibraltar. Aspire Global appear to be currently using this name as an associated brand or trademark. Aspire also operates under similar sounding brands. NeoGames for example, also based in Tel Aviv, operates as a major international software and service provider for lotteries. Countries where this brand holds licences to operate include Belgium, Denmark, Italy and the United States.

The company is now in the process of developing a rapidly growing portfolio of clients who licence Aspire Global’s software and management services in order to operate their casinos.

Games Global Brief History

As mentioned, Games Global (previously Microgaming) launched in 1994 – a time when online casinos were almost non-existent. It started by creating simple slots but made a significant stride with the creation of Cash Splash, a progressive jackpot in 1998.

Being the only jackpot game back then, Cash Splash grew popular fast, something that helped Games Global win partnerships around the world. In the spirit of innovation, the software provider helped launched a casino governing body known as the Interactive Gaming Council. What’s more, it played a role in establishing eCOGRA—the famous casino games’ auditor.

Over time, Games Global moved the needle of casino games through innovation, embracing technology and sheer creativity. It owns over 850 original slots and table games and a total of 1200 games when you add variations.

To expound more, below are the company’s most significant achievements over the years:

• First online casino—1994
• First progressive jackpot—1998
• First mobile slot—2004
• First branded slot—2005
• First slot on a wearable device—2015
