Are you a keen online gambler, planning to visit or even relocate to the UK? If so, then you may be wondering if you can still play some of your favourite online slots once you’ve crossed the Channel – such as the Bayraktar game, for instance!

As you may know, differences in online gambling legislation between countries can limit the types of casinos – and even the slot games – that you can play. This is particularly the case since the Gambling Commission tightened up regulations by introducing Gamstop as a legal requirement for all UK casino operators.

However, there are ways to avoid these restrictions. A number of EU casinos – perhaps even some of your favourites – do accept UK-based players, giving them access to bonuses and games they may not otherwise have been able to reach. As a result, if you can’t find a UK-based casino that offers thrilling slots such as Bayraktar in their library, you can still access a European-based online casino and play there.

What is Bayraktar?

If you are not familiar with Bayraktar, or if you have vaguely heard of the game and are eager to give it a try, let’s take a quick look at this new slot.

Released in April 2022 by Turbo Games, Bayraktar is a military-themed slot game that gives you the chance to ‘neutralise the enemy’ by destroying as many targets as possible. You can choose to cash out after each successful ‘hit’, but you can also choose to use the slot’s autoplay feature and customise the game to suit your liking.

This slot has an average RTP of 95%. The more enemies you manage to take out, the more winnings you will receive!

An eerily relevant slot?

If you love keeping up to date with the latest slots, you may have been interested in the recent release of Bayraktar by the Ukrainian company, Turbo Games. This game seems to echo the military actions taking place across Ukraine as the invasion by Russia continues to wreak destruction, and has perhaps been created as a means of offering a tentative feeling of control, in particular to Ukrainian players, who may otherwise be feeling disheartened by recent events.

The Head of Sales at Turbo Games, Vadim Potapenko, was keen to draw attention to the game’s release in a recent interview, revealing that it “has been standing on top among operators and players since its release in the middle of April.”

He also noted his company’s appreciation for the support it has received from those in the gambling industry, stating, “we express our gratitude to each partner.”

Currently, Bayraktar is available to play in 21 different countries – of which the UK is sadly not one. However, you can try a demo version of the game, which is available on the developer’s website, as well as on other slot sites. There is also the possibility of using a VPN to access a casino that offers Bayraktar, but this can come with certain risks, so caution and due diligence is advised if you are considering this route.
