Easy New Three Card Poker Game Launched at Aces.com

Aces.com one of the first to offer online version of easy new game taking Las Vegas by storm

The most popular new card game in Las Vegas, Three Card Poker, is now available at retro Vegas-style Aces.com. This is a great game for people that want to be part of the incredible poker phenomenon sweeping online casinos everywhere, but find regular poker rules and strategy a bit daunting.

“No other online casino looks and feels as much like Las Vegas as ours,” says Aces.com Manager Rene Queseda, “So naturally we’re one of the first online casinos to offer the most popular new game in Vegas.”

Three Card Poker is really two games in one: “PairPlus” and “Ante and Play”. Players can bet on either one or both, and in different amounts.

PairPlus is a simple game in which players are dealt three cards and are paid according to their value. There is no raising or discarding. It doesn’t matter if the dealer qualifies or even beats the player’s hand, or if the player has placed a bet on the Ante Game. If their hand has a pair or better they win.

Ante and Play begins with a wager on the ante. After viewing their three cards, players can either raise by putting an equal bet on play, or fold and lose the ante bet. Because there are only three cards, mathematical probabilities are different and hand rankings are therefore a little different than with traditional five card hands with a Straight Flush being the highest ranked.

New Mobile Phone Slot Machine Follows Instant Success of Slotland.com’s First Portable, Real-Money Slots Game


Slotland.com Adds ‘Jacks or Better’ to Suite of Mobile Phone/PDA Games

After the recent runaway success of their first real-money mobile slot machine, Slotland.com has added another all-time favourite to their popular mobile games. “Jacks or Better” is a slot machine based on video poker that can now be played both online and on mobile phones or PDAs.

The object of Jacks Or Better is to obtain the best possible poker hand. On the initial deal, players are dealt five cards face up. They can hold all cards dealt or get up to five new cards.

When Slotland.com, the world’s most popular all-slots web site, first introduced its all time favourite “Lucky Stars” machine for mobile phones and PDAs, it was an instant success. Over $3.5 million was wagered by players in bank queues, lunchrooms, and subway trains all over the world on the second day of the service.

“We couldn’t wait to make this second game available to our community,” said Hannah Morante of Slotland.com. “It was tough to decide which of our games to add to the mobile suite next, but since Jacks or Better is so popular on our web site, we know it will also be popular on phones and PDAs.”

Long known for their customer service and frequently won progressive jackpots, Slotland.com is also becoming known for its philanthropy around the world. The company has sponsored amateur sports for some time and is currently building a school that will give new hope to a small village in Africa.

2006 PlayersOnly.com Calendar Girls Even Hotter Than Last Year

Players Receiving Annual Gift from the World’s Sexiest Sportsbook, Casino & Poker Room

Jaws are dropping as the 2006 PlayersOnly.com Calendar arrives in PO members’ mailboxes this month. The Calendar, which this year features four hot models shot in twelve exotic tropical locations, is an annual gift to players at the World’s Sexiest Sportsbook, Casino and Poker Room.

Jennifer, one of the most talked about models in last year’s Calendar, is back again this year. She’s joined by blond bombshell Melissa, exotic Asian beauty Marcela, and Latin seductress Fabiola. Photographer Ernesto Fiks shot the women at the beach, in the pool, at the bar and straddling a motorcycle on location in the Caribbean.

“I love being a Players Only Calendar Girl!” squealed Jennifer at a recent unveiling of the 2006 Calendar. “I get invited to lots of parties, and my picture is hanging beside computers all over America!”

“We got such a great response to the Calendar last year,” said Marketing Director Alex Czajkowski, “We decided to invest even more in it this year, brought on top international models and a really brilliant photographer and design team. This year’s calendar is HOT!”

The 2006 PlayersOnly.com Calendar has been sent to all current active players, and will be sent to all newly registered players while supplies last. New players can register at the online gambling site, featuring casino games, sports betting and poker, at www.PlayersOnly.com.

“We did 12 photo shoots to produce this Calendar, and we got thousands of hot pics that didn’t go in the printed Calendar,” said PlayersOnly.com Brand Manager, Tim Williams. “We’ll be adding galleries to the site every month.” (For photo galleries, please see: www.playersonly.com/women)

Selected photos from the Calendar’s 12 photo shoots are available for publication with the consent of PlayersOnly.com or their agent, Lyceum Media. A browseable gallery is available online at www.SportingbetMediaCenter.com/private/POCalendar06. To obtain the required ID and password to access this library, editors, journalists and webmasters should contact Lyceum Media.

Colts Not a Sure Bet – Broncos Odds May Offer Better Value

Smart Money Should Move to Denver After Broncos’ Performance in San Diego

After an amazing season, the Colts are an obvious Super Bowl favorite. There are other teams, though, that could just make it – and pay off even better if they do. After Mike Shanahan and his crew totally dismantled the Chargers in San Diego New Year’s Eve, the Broncos could be the best bet.

“You have to lay 10-11 if you want to take the Colts for the Super Bowl,” cautioned SportingbetUSA.com (www.sportingbetusa.com) Brand Manager Tony Delgado. “There may be better value elsewhere. A lot of SportingbetUSA players are watching to see how the Broncos do through the Divisional Championships this weekend.”

In their spectacular regular-season finale, Denver used a strong defensive effort and three Tatum Bell touchdowns to finish out the season with a 23-7 win over the San Diego Chargers. The Broncos (13-3) will have had a week off before playing in the divisional playoffs January 14.

SportingbetUSA.com’s adjusted lines for Saturday’s game (as of January 11, 2006) favor the Broncos at -3 with the Patriots at +3.

The other AFC teams had better fasten their chinstraps. This group is running to the ball with a purpose, and with Trevor Pryce, linebackers Wilson, Gold, Williams, as well as Champ Bailey and John Lynch they’re poised for a serious run at the championship.

Stopping the opponent’s offense has always been the issue around Denver, as everyone agrees that Shanahan is an offensive wizard. His defense always collapses down the stretch though, and this has been their Achilles heel.

“The Broncos finally have balance on both sides of the ball and that is bad news for the rest of the AFC! I’m just not comfortable with the way the Colts offense is performing these days,” said Delgado. “I think they will host the championship game on the 22nd, but I look for the Broncos to extract some serious revenge after last year’s debacle. I make it Denver 31 and Indianapolis 20 on January 22nd.”

Early Super Bowl lines at SportingbetUSA.com don’t give the Broncos much of a chance of even making it to Detroit in February. According to the odds, the two most likely match-ups are Seahawks vs Colts (9-5) and Bears vs Colts (4-1).
