Virgin Casino Welcomes Microgaming Software

admin — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 10:29:55 +0000

While most of online casinos offer their player the games of one or another gambling software developer, Virgin Casino is bound at providing its loyal customers with as many high quality games as possible no matter who has created them. It makes the world of difference for the clients when they can compare the slots, table games and other online recreations from different providers without leaving their casino of choice. No matter what games they prefer, they would still gather those nice loyalty reward points of Virgin Casino.
The already impressive list of gaming developers collaborating with Virgin Casino has recently grown by one point. And this is not yet another hardly ever heard of company like Ash Gaming or Fremantle, the most popular games of which have long ago been available at the casino’s website. This time the addition can be easily compared with such monsters (in a good sense of the word) of online gambling industry as Cryptologic and Wagerworks that are also present at the website, because from now on the players of Virgin Casino can enjoy the software created by the ultimate leader of the business, namely Microgaming. We can easily say that the efforts of the casino’s CEO, Simon Burridge have resulted in that the games of the most prominent developers are now gathered on a single webpage. Simon has commented the recent software addition by saying that such was the demand of their customers, who recognize the leading position of Microgaming on the market and would like to enjoy its unique and innovative creations. On behalf of the casino, Simon Burridge has promised to offer a number of various promotions based on the recently added Microgaming software.
Staying true to the promise of its CEO, Virgin Casino is giving a nice cash back promo for the week of June 21 to June 25, based on the newly available at its website online slot from Microgaming called Thunderstruck. Though the company has already brought to the public a remake of this comparatively outdated slot machine, the game is still capable to attract the attention of gamblers with its classical video slot features like the rounds of free spins or a separate screen bonus game. And with the cash back promotion the house edge of the slot will be decreased dramatically, making it a number one choice for this week’s money making at Virgin Casino. The promo includes a 20% refund of all the daily losses at the Thunderstruck slot machine, that will be credited to the player’s account on the day immediately following the day of his or her wagering. A maximum daily limit of cash back is $100, so the promo can be a nice opportunity for penny spinners to break their old wagering habits and try for bigger cash prizes with a higher coin denomination. Thunderstruck, though, is not the only game good for the money back. The full list of eligible slots is available at the website of Virgin Casino.

Father’s Day Presents from Club World Casino

admin — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:10:28 +0000

This summer the Father’s Day national holiday of the US will fall on June 20. While Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May, Father’s Day takes place on the third Sunday of June. Parents of different sexes contribute differently to the upbringing of children and both are important, though Mother’s Day has become an official holiday long before its male counterpart. The point of Father’s Day is to thank all the fathers for their efforts at raising children and demonstrate the affection and acknowledgement of their hard work from the whole family.
While the regular present given to fathers on that day is a tie or a sweater, Club World Casino is offering something much more exciting for June 20 this year. A day spent playing awesome gambling creations of Playtech at Club World Casino is worth a dozen of multicolored ties. To give all fathers a better opportunity at wagering and winning lots of money, the casino is offering an amazing set of coupons on Father’s Day. Every player fond of slot machines, scratch card games or keno may redeem up to 10 coupons, each worth 75% of a deposit. The upper limit of each of these bonuses is $1,000 so a player can get up to $10,000 for free to wager on his or her favorite games at Club World Casino on June 20.
But the celebration is not limited to a single day. The whole weekend from June 17 to June 21, which is from Thursday to Monday, two more sets of coupons will be available at Club World Casino. Both of them have an unlimited number of deposit bonuses. Every gambler may claim as much free money as he or she wants, though every single bonus is limited to $1,000. Those who prefer the exciting online games with high house edge like slot machines or keno can get a 60% match to their deposit by entering the LOVEDAD promotional code at the website of Club World Casino. The bonus for such low house edge games as poker, blackjack, roulette and other table games varieties is less, being 45% of a deposit, so to get a maximum bonus of $1,000 more money has to be deposited. The promotional code for these games is SUPERDAD. The wagering requirements for the two unlimited sets of coupons are also different. While slot lovers will only have to wager the deposits and the bonuses 25 times, the fans of table games are required to play the money through 50 times before a possible withdrawal.
Every household with a father interested in online gambling should consider buying him a splendid time of excitement at Club World Casino as a Father’s Day present, because such good opportunities of getting more playing time for the same money come rather rarely. Of course the attention of a caring family is much more important than any present, but it never hurts to remind a father that his interests and inclinations are understood and recognized by all his loved ones.

The Most Important Considerations For Choosing an Online Casino

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:14:42 +0000

When a person decides to sign up with an online casino, the choice of a suitable website may be quite difficult. There are some important considerations a player should take before making this choice. First of all, it is necessary to make sure that the casino in question is available to customers from your country. Some of the gambling websites are for example closed to American customers because they don’t want to have any problems connected with the UIGEA, while in some other countries like Finland only one casino operator is legal, which makes the choice quite obvious.
The second thing to remember is that a casino has to be regularly certified and properly licensed. Its random numbers generators must have a seal of approval from one of the leading security agencies. The gist here is the more prominent safety guaranteeing companies are tied to a particular casino, the less are your chances to get into a wire fraud. Once you have chosen a casino that seems safe, another important thing is to make sure that it accepts payments in the currency of your country or in the currency of your bank account. This gets more vital in those countries where the banks are forbidden to transfer and receive money to and from all gambling websites. In this case it is smarter to get some kind of an eWallet available in your vicinity, otherwise you won’t be able not only to deposit any cash into your casino account, but more importantly, there will be no chance of withdrawing your winnings.
Once all the safety precautions have been made and you are absolutely sure that a particular online casino is secure, it is a good idea to check if it has a 24/7 customer support hotline. There may arise some questions that only a live representative can answer, so this service may be a great help. After that the only thing that remains in choosing the most suitable casino is the number and quality of its games. Of course the design of a website is quite important too, since no one would like to spend his or her time browsing an ugly internet page, but the games are what a player is looking for in the end, so make sure that the casino you choose has a large number of up to date creations. If you are into slot machines, there are a lot of gambling software developers like Microgaming, Cryptologic, Rival Gaming and many others, each having a distinct style and aiming at a certain group of players, so make sure that you absolutely love the games offered at a particular casino, because there is a huge multitude of other options. Most of the online casinos have instant flash versions of their games, so an interested player doesn’t have to download anything to see if he or she likes the games offered at the website.

Poker Players Alliance VS the State of Washington

admin — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 10:27:57 +0000

One of the most frequent excuses of legislators in the US for the prohibition of online gambling is that it cannot be controlled and regulated. The court case of Poker Players Alliance against the state of Washington proved these claims to be groundless. The Washington State Branch director of Poker Players Alliance Lee Rousso with the support of the famous attorney and advocate Thomas C. Goldstein has put the prohibition of online gambling in the state of Washington under question in Supreme Court of the state.
The case had first been heard in the trial court, then after going through the court of appeals it finally was tried in Washington Supreme Court by Justice Gerry Alexander and Justice Jim Johnson. Assistant Attorney General Jerry Ackerman spoke for the state of Washington, while Lee Rousso and Thomas Goldstein tried to convince the judges in the unlawfulness of current state laws that consider online gambling a felony. The representatives of Poker Players Alliance pointed out to the fact that a state can under no circumstances discriminate against an industry. It is clearly written in the Commerce Act. But nowadays the laws of Washington clearly give a huge advantage to land-based casinos, while depriving internet casinos from even a possibility to compete with their offline counterparts. The state generates a lot of income through a number of land gambling sites operated under the tribal laws. This makes online gambling inconvenient for the officials.
A person playing poker at a tribal casino is considered a law-abiding citizen, but should the same person try to play the same game online, he or she automatically becomes a felon. The claim of Jerry Ackerman that online casinos are impossible to control was not accepted by the judges as the Assistant Attorney General could not prove it. Thomas Goldstein brought up a number of facts obliterating the claim, including multiple examples of foreign countries where online casinos had long ago become legal, generating a lot of tax revenues for the governments that are wise enough to control internet casino and other online gambling activities, successfully preventing underage citizens from playing and keeping problem gambling in check by a number of simple laws and regulations.
The other issue that arose during the trial concerned online horse betting, which is quite legal in Washington. It turned out that the state is using any opportunity to promote the businesses that already generate a lot of income for the officials. The state is unwilling to create a competitive gambling market either because of corruption of its official legislators or plain inability to see the advantages of regulated internet gambling for the state as well as for its citizens. As Justice Jerry Alexander concluded, the prohibition is just a generational thing and in time the obsolete law is sure to pass into oblivion.

Bonus Slot Bonanza at Mummy’s Gold

admin — Tue, 18 May 2010 11:50:17 +0000

The most interesting part of any slot game is usually a special bonus round that takes the player to a separate screen where he or she can actually play a whole new game connected with the theme of the slot machine. Such bonus games let the slot’s developers add some individuality to their creations, while the players always enjoy a nice break from the constantly spinning wheels, especially when it also grants some major money prizes. Bonus games of this kind are usually more innovative and exciting than just a simple round of free spins, because they either test the player’s reaction, reasoning or plain luck, granting a series of random prizes. To promote the games with some of the best second screen bonuses, Mummy’s Gold casino will hold a special wagering contest this May.
The tournament has been announced through the special newsletter of Mummy’s Gold that informs its customers about all the new promotions and offers on a monthly basis. Being one of the most popular members of Palace Group, Mummy’s Gold online casino offers some of the best internet games there are, all of them powered by the famous Microgaming software developer. The competition will be played on the specifically announced games that feature a bonus round, that’s why it is called the Bonus Slot Bonanza. It will be held in the form of a wagering contest, so most of the high-rollers will undoubtedly like to take a part in it. At the same time those players who prefer the smallest bets possible also have a chance to win, as the player who places the most bets will also be awarded irrespectively of how low the bets will be. The Bonus Slot Bonanza is actually comprised of two separate tournaments, each awarding its own prize pool of $1,000. The rules of money distribution as well as the games played to participate are the same.
The first part of the wagering contest will take place at Mummy’s Gold casino from May 10 to May 16. Then, a week later the second competition will take place by the same rules, starting on May 24 and finishing on May 30. The $1,000 prize pool of each of the events will be distributed among the players in the following way: the ultimate winner of the week, who would bet the most money on the specified slots, will walk away with $300, while the second most better will get $200. The person who places the most bets irrespectively of their amount will get $100, while the remaining $400 will be distributed among the participants of the tourney in a random manner. All in all, 8 players will get $50 each no matter how much they bet or how often they play.
The most interesting part of the Bonus Slots Bonanza competition is of course the games chosen. Among them there are some of the best and most popular bonus round slots by Microgaming, like the branded Tomb Rider – Secret of the Sword, featuring the brave adventuress right from the famous video game; Curry in a Hurry with a bonus round of spicy Indian dishes, where the hotter is the better as each chili pepper found inside a plate of curry grants a nice bonus multiplier to a player’s bet. Such adventure slots as Age of Discovery with a bonus round of treasure hunting or Sunset Showdown set in the rough world of Wild West. The other games are Pollen Nations, Bush Telegraph and Starscape.

admin — Wed, 05 May 2010 11:55:12 +0000

In the current society based on science and technology there seem to be no magic left in any of the spheres of our life. The only exception is online gambling, where magic is at full swing with the new promotion of All Jackpots Online Casino. The Bonus Magic Promo offers miraculous prizes to all the customers of their website, while the new video slot machine called Magic Multiplier immerses the players into a world of hypnotic spells and clairvoyant paraphernalia.
The Bonus Magic promotion will last for six consecutive days, starting on the 28th of April and finishing on the 3rd of May, granting a random player nice and free casino credit gifts. As All Jackpot Casino accepts players from all over the world, the bonuses will be given out in the currency of wagering, so European players will receive their money in euros, while Americans will get the same dollar amounts. Every hour during the six days of promotion a 50 casino credits prize will be given away to a lucky player randomly selected among the currently present gamblers. Every customer of All Jackpots or any other online casino of the Jackpot Factory group, including All Slots and All Slots Mobile, All Bingo Club, First Web and VIP Lounge will be given a chance to win the money by depositing not less than 50 credits in any accepted currency. The money should be wagered on any of the incredible games provided by Microgaming during the six days of promotion.
The Magic Bonus of 50 credits will appear right in front of a player’s eyes every hour, but the loyal customers of All Jackpots Online Casino will be given even better conditions. If a VIP-lounge member is selected to receive a bonus, he or she will get 75 credits instead of the regular 50, with the same 50 credits deposit required to participate. Plus, the requirements of wagering are twice lower for the VIP members, who have to bet the received prize money only 15 times before a possible withdrawal as opposed to the regular gamblers who should meet the 30 times play through requirement during the same period of 30 days following the deposit of bonus money to their casino account.
The Magic Bonus promotion goes best with the new Magic Multiplier online slot from Microgaming, which has recently been added to the already huge portfolio of games at All Jackpots Casino. The slot machine features all the necessary tools of a magician as symbols on the reels, including a white rabbit, a high hat with a cane, a hypnotic wheel which starts to spin when a winning combination is triggered and of course the magician himself, presenting a beautifully animated card trick. Besides the regular wild and scatter symbols with multiplied payouts and free spins rounds, the game features two incredible bonus options on separate screens.

Grand Prive Group Loses License

admin — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:57:33 +0000

The online casinos of Maricass International Holdings Inc., which is better known to its customers as Grand Prive Group, are not considered safe to wager at anymore. Their license has been suspended and may be revoked forever if the group fails to comply with the rules of its licensor, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. The reason for the suspension of their license was the change of a software provider without informing the Commission. Grand Prive Group used to be powered by Microgaming, but switched to a less known online gambling software developer called BetonSoftware without either sending a Material Change Report to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission or informing its previous provider, Microgaming. Their new software has not been approved by the Commission yet, so the Grand Prive group is not any longer authorized to operate its websites and the players, as well as other online casino licensing companies were informed that Kahnawake is no longer responsible for the safety of their websites. The players may still wager at these internet casinos, but do so at their own risk. The list of Grand Prive Group casinos is quite long with such websites as Grand Bay Casino, Casino Grand Bay, Kasino Grand Bay, Bella Vegas, Jackpot Wheel, Fortune Junction, Big Dollar, Lake Palace, Road House Reels and Jupiter Club.

The suspension should not be taken lightly as Kahnawake Gaming Commission is well-known as a very strict licenser, which is proved by the fact that more than 50 online casino operators trust it with providing safety to their gamblers. More than a quarter of a thousand websites represent the logo of Kahnawake, considered to be the hallmark of secure internet gambling. The name comes from the fact that the company operates from the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, one of the few places in the USA where gambling is legal. Apart from the current issue with Maricass International Holdings Inc., the Kahnawake online gambling regulator showed its persistency in the last year scandal, when the money lost by players at several poker rooms licensed by the company was fully compensated.

The Client Provider Authorization of Grand Prive Group has been suspended and may be altogether cancelled, as became known to the public from an advisory notice, signed by the general counsel of Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Murray Marshall on the 7^th of April.
