One of the unfortunate results of the Covid-19 pandemic was the economic toll placed on many industries.

 ![Betfred Makes Official R925 Million Bid for Phumelela](https://www.southafricancasinos.co.za/images/betfred-phumelela.png)
Despite its lucrative offer to buy the beleaguered SA racing company, Phumelela, the British bookmaker group, Betfred, was turned down by creditors. Instead, the majority of Phumelela’s creditors voted in favour of a rescue plan involving Mary Oppenheimer and Daughters group buying up most of the assets. It should be noted that [Betfred’s offer](https://www.southafricancasinos.co.za/betfred-makes-official-r925-million-bid-for-phumelela.html), which would have bought out the entire company, and not only part of it, was twice the amount offered by MOD.

The South African racing industry breathed a sigh of relief with the news. Phumelela is the horseracing or tote betting operator in seven out of SA’s nine provinces. The group’s severe financial difficulties placed the country’s entire horseracing industry in jeopardy, and it was crucial that a solution be found as soon as possible. SA’s horseracing industry employs over 40,000 people and pays literally hundreds of millions of Rand in taxes to the government every year.

In Hotline 2 slot, NetEnt uses the popularity of the original game to leverage the new title and it’s clear that they’ve been successful in their attempts. Both games boast the same Miami-at-twilight backdrop and a retro, 80’s soundtrack, however, the soundtrack in the newer version is much better overall, and is a big part of the game’s appeal. Players are already saying that, in this case, NetEnt has vastly improved on the original, to bring us a sequel worthy of hours of play.
