Jackpot for Slotland Rises Up to $160,000Posted 28 February 2009 in Latest News
Slotland.com Offers More Than $100,000 in Its Progressive Casino Jackpot; No Winner since Christmas
Now amounting up to $160,000, Slotland’s progressive jackpot is getting more exciting as it continues to build up. The last time that someone won from the online casino is last Christmas, with the prize totaling up to $110,000. The highest pot money that Slotland casino gave out was $195,000 last March.
The jackpot prize from Slotland can be won in all of its slots and video poker games. This progressive jackpot prize in this casino was usually won every 4 to 6 weeks. Other casinos also offer progressive jackpots in several of their casino games.
Even if $160,000 is definitely huge, it is not the largest jackpot in online casino gaming history. Six-figure jackpots can be won even in other casino games, like in online blackjack and online roulette. However, once the pot money hits $100,000 and above, the excitement simply starts to build up.
At present, Slotland features thirteen slot machines, including Megaspin, and three video poker casino games. You also have the option to play four online slots and two video poker games using your mobile phone.

How Online Bingo Can Help You Meet PeoplePosted 25 February 2009 in Latest News
Online Casinos: A Convenient Way to Win Great Prizes and Meet New Friends Right in the Comfort of Your Own Homes
Because of the global recession, a lot of people nowadays are indisposed to play bingo in halls, as was once the trend. Moreover, the dawn of online casinos further encouraged people to play right in the comfort of their own homes. Why go out when you can play at home?
Perhaps the only advantage that traditional bingo has over online bingo is that the former allows for social interaction. Online casino games, such as online blackjack and online roulette, do not allow for meeting other players or dealers, unlike playing in real casinos. But then, this should not be a problem, as in the case of Steven Reeves and Rachel Brooks. These two are online bingo enthusiasts who met and fell in love while playing in an online casino.
According to curry house owner Rachel, her cat and her restaurant have been keeping her busy in her life. She never thought she would have a man in her life until she started playing online bingo. The community chat room in her online casino enabled her to meet Steven, a disabled diabetic who also loved playing online bingo.
Steven used to be a regular at his local bingo hall. But when smoking was banned in the bingo hall, he started going to BingoOnTheBox.com and discovered that there’s more to playing online bingo than just winning - it’s also a great way to meet a whole community of bingo lovers.

PokerStars Resurrects FleetStreetGames and Reassures Casino Enthusiasts that Funds Will Not be a Problem
For all of you FleetStreetGames.com lovers out there, fret not because you can still get your dose of online poker fun from PokerStars.com. After the untimely closure of FleetStreetGames.com last February, PokerStar.com assured all followers of the former that funding will no longer be a problem.
When the online casino FleetStreetGames.com was launched before, it offered its players a chance to have a fixed monthly fee even if you want to join a lot of poker tournaments in casinos. But because of the financial crisis, FleetStreetGames.com had no choice but to cancel the online casino and all the games that go with it, including online blackjack and online roulette.
PokerStars.com can be considered as FleetStreetGames.com’s savior. PokerStars.com has more than 19 million players populating its online poker rooms which are some of the largest poker rooms in the world. The deal between these two casinos only show that the end of the casino industry is far from happening.
According to Fleet Street Games President and CEO Dan Goldman, PokerStars.com is not a total stranger to him, as well as to supporters of FleetStreetGames.com. He further said that it is one of the best online casinos in the world, what with the merge of FleetStreetGames.com and PokerStars.com.

More Than £100,000 Won from Online CasinoPosted 20 February 2009 in Latest News
LadbrokesGames.com Gives Out £109,467 for Sole Online Slots Winner from St. Albans
Nine long months had to pass by before someone cracked the jackpot for the online slots game called Chain Reactors. Just last week, a 40-year-old player from St. Albans hit the jackpot from the LadbrokesGames.com website.
Taking home a total of £109,467, the player only started with a bet of three pounds in the said online casino and luckily won the jackpot price. Each pound had a return of £36,489.
According to the player, no bank in the world could have offered such a deal that you can only get from a casino game. In fact, he and his wife were able to gloriously celebrate his wife’s birthday because of the casino returns from Chain Reactors. It was definitely the best time to get such a reward because business had been slow and the couple had been keeping a close watch on their money.
So far, the player states that he still does not have plans for his money since he is still reeling from the shock of winning an online slots game.
According to LadbrokesGames.com’s Head of Marketing, Emma Thomson, they find it delightful whenever someone wins the jackpot in their website. Same goes for other casinos, since it is seldom that someone takes home the pot money, whether it be a game of online roulette or online blackjack. Thomson further said that they are already looking forward to their next winner.
If the last online casino winner took nine months to arrive, how long will the next casino gamer be?

The Future of Online Casinos in the StatesPosted 16 February 2009 in Latest News
Internet Gambling in the United States: Still Questionable and Uncertain with Regard to Its Future
Even after the term of President Bush in the United States and all the laws that he made with regard to internet gambling, it still seems like the operation of online casinos in the United States is still questionable. This is according to a Nevada regulator who issued this statement last January 10, 2009. Gaming Control Board chairman Dennis Neilander stated that in order for online casinos to flourish, they need to have some form of court or Congress clarification with regard to the laws issued on playing casinos on the internet.
Former president Bush issued the November ruling regarding the fate of online casinos. This rule stated that the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve will create procedures for financial companies that will avoid receiving any kind of payment coming from internet gambling. It does not matter whether the money came from a game of online roulette or online blackjack; as long as it is gambling money, it is not going to be accepted. However, Rep. Barney Frank from the House Financial Services Committee is working on scraping the 2006 law, which is the primary basis for the November rule.
What is immensely flawed in the 2006 law governing internet gambling is that there is no clear definition of “unlawful internet gambling” provided by the government. Because of this, there have been many complaints coming from financial companies and banks about the guidelines that this law should have set with regard to online casino gambling. The only thing that was stated there was that the government is “prohibiting financial institutions from accepting payments from credit cards, checks, or electronic fund transfers to settle online wagers.”
Perhaps the main reason why these casino laws have been criticized is because they were written and passed in a haphazard way. It should be noted, however, that the United States roughly earns about $16 billion annually just from online gambling revenue alone, and half of that amount is allotted for the gaming industry each year.
What President Obama has to say about this issue still remains unknown, since there are a lot of other things that occupy him right now. The only thing that we can do is to wait and see whether UIGEA will be scrapped or rephrased into something that has clearer definitions and guidelines.
