Sloto Cash Gains More Players

Sloto Cash is reported to have launched a new interactive slot machine “A Stitch in Time” with upper level graphics and fun symbols which will definitely draw attention of players. The slot machine, having 20 pay lines, five reels, up to 78 free spins and multipliers will run the last week of November and throughout Christmas.

Weekend Tournament from Online Vegas Casino

Online Vegas Casino began a holiday weekend tournament called “See You in December Weekend Madness Tournament” in which all players including those from the UK will be able to take part.

To enter the competition, players have to deposit $13.99. Then players are given $325 as a starting balance. To qualify for any winnings, players should wager at least 20 times. If $325 are not enough to wager, players can buy back in for $13.99. As a result they get another $325 but will have to wager 20 times more.

Players who want to win a pot must play The Reel Deal – one of the best slot machines for bonus features offered online. 300 top players will get a payout. The first place winner will earn $21K, while those in the 300th place will get $20.

If you think that the $13.99 fee is a little high for you, you can surf the online casino lobby for other tournaments.

Revenues Drop

It is not a secret that CryptoLogic, online casino software development company, has had a couple of rough years because of regulatory changes within several global markets and problems within the upper level of management. Global economic recession has also played a huge role in the current position of the company in the online gambling market. Thus, this quarter’s revenues for Cryptologic are much lower even in comparison with the last year (32% down from the previous 2008 quarter that reported more than $14 million in revenues).

However, Cryptologic is not the only company experiencing hard times. Online casinos within global markets have been constantly reporting drops in growth figures.

Rugby Team Partners with Sportingbet

The UK rugby team, Hull Kingston Rovers, is accepting sponsorship with online casino operator Sportingbet. The operator’s logo will appear on Hull’s jerseys, throughout the home stadium and on the Hull website. The online casino, in its turn, will carry Hull news and promotions on its own sites and feature betting services for Hull fans.

Hull Kingston Rovers is not the only European sports team that has entered into a sponsorship arrangement with an online casino operator. And that shows a totally different attitude from the US sport approach denying fan betting and legalization of gambling.

Block On New US Online Gamblers

As of the 1st of December, 2009 Golden Casino, the internet gambling site will stop accepting any accounts or transactions from the Unites States, as the gambling site can no longer guarantee effective and timely payouts and deposits after having faced account seizures by the US Department of Justice.

There is an assumption that this new policy will affect only new internet gamblers from the USA, but the existing Golden Casino account holders will be able to gamble on the site.

Slots N Games Remains Competitive

To attract more customers, the Slots N Games online casino made a decision to renovate its online website. Now UK players can enjoy a luxurious online lobby, top games and promotions like X Factor, Cluedo, Cleopatra slots, scratch card games, roulette, blackjack and number games.

Seven different slots that are progressive jackpots seem to be very attractive at Slots N Games as each week the online casino has more than a thousand pounds on theses slots.

To increase the chances of winning, the online casino also offers bonuses like a Welcome Bonus of £125 and an ongoing Triple Bonus of £150.

Next year Slots N Games is believed to add more games, promotions and prizes to their already impressive list.

Entertainment for Every Day of the Week

WinkBingo.com is reported to have launched a new-look domain featuring a fresh games lobby and special rooms designed for each day of the week. So, playing in a Monday room, gamblers can compete at 75-ball bingo for a £500 guaranteed jackpot with a buy-in of only 10 pence. With the pre-purchased tickets costing 25 pence each, every week players can compete in Tuesday room for a guaranteed jackpot of £1,000.

All new players of WinkBingo.com who deposit at least 5 pounds get a 200% first deposit bonus up to £100. A subsequent 50% deposit bonus up to £100 goes to those players who deposit ten pounds.

More Bingo Side Games from Microgaming

Microgaming has recently announced the release of a new set of bingo side games (the games that can be played while the bingo balls are being drawn) that include video slots, pub-style and table games.

New sophisticated in construction and graphical appeal games include The Rat Pack, Chain Mail, City of Gold, Diamond Sevens, Ski Bunny and Wheel of Riches.

Microgaming releasing new games every month increases the amount of new players and earns loyalty of already existing ones.

Mobile Gambling Grows

The variety if games available on mobile phones is not great, that’s why not many people sign up for mobile gaming. There are very few software development companies trying to expand the mobile gambling industry through new game releases, and WagerWorks is one of them.

WagerWorks offers a huge selection of games designed for online casinos. To say more, it remains very popular and reputable that could be a reason why its customers are interested in moving to the mobile platform.

The Cleopatra online slots game is the latest release of the company adjusted for the mobile platform.

Online Gambling Expands in Canada

Quebec is about to become the sixth province in Canada to offer online gambling. Players will be able to bet on sports and play poker next summer. There are some law restrictions regarding the online gambling, however, the Quebec government is believed to amend these laws, as Loto-Quebec claims they have safeguards in place to promote responsible gaming.

Popularity of online gambling grows and governments have no right to underestimate the amount of revenue they could get from online gambling. In view of the fact that the popularity of internet gambling is expected to increase over the next few years, it looks like Quebec’s decision has been absolutely right.
