WinADay Players Love New 'Busted' Video Slot's Bonus Game & Double Up Feature

Cops and robbers bonus round makes the fun last even longer

wad-busted-160.jpgBusted, the latest totally one-of-a-kind video slots game at WinADayCasino.com, is a retro comic book-style cops and robbers adventure with a spine-tingling Bonus Game. Busted is three games in one: a classic 17 pay line video slot, a Double Up round and a Cops and Robbers bonus game.

For the Cops and Robbers Bonus Game, players choose to be either a Robber or a Cop and then collect symbols related to their character. When all 5 special Cop or Robber symbols have been collected the bonus game begins. The Double Up Bonus Game – a chance to double winnings from the last spin -- is triggered when the Double symbol appears on the rightmost wheel of a winning spin.



“Players usually get excited about a new game,” said manager Michael Hilary, “But we’ve really had an extraordinary response to Busted!”

“At first I thought it was just another game that wouldn’t hold my attention long,” said Harry J. “Five days later it’s taken the place of Slot 21 as my favorite game. Busted! is truly outstanding -- it plays fast and it pays great. I’ve never played a game that serves up so many wins!”

“OMG!!! I love this new game!” said Sarah T. “The graphics are so fun and clear. The option to choose the crook or the police officer when betting is so cool. But the coolest part of the game to me is the BONUS feature..... and the amount of winnings you can get.”

“Since I'm a comic book fan, this game got my attention just looking at the graphics on the loading page. I figured hey, if the rest of the game is like this it should be fun to play. Busted! didn't let me down either!” said Lisa W. “This game gives you a choice of what character you’d like to play, the good guy or the bad guy. I went crooked and picked the robber. As you spin, if you picked robber you're on the run from the police. You collect pieces that you need in order to go to the bonus round. Then in the bonus round you get to roll the dice and advance like playing a board game, but with a twist. You see your player’s every move as he tries to get away. And you can also see the law getting closer. With the music playing in the background and the action brightly highlighted its easy to get excited trying to out run the cops! Plus wherever you land you could get additional spins and great payouts. I'm simply crazy about this game. Even the music is cool!”

Like all slots games at WinADayCasino.com, the new Busted! is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot which is currently just over $100,000. As regulars at WinADay know, that means it could be due for another big jackpot payout any day now.

The creative team that develops all of WinADay’s unique games has another new one almost ready to launch. Special promotions celebrating the new Jacks or Better will be announced next week.

Busted makes 22 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, roulette and keno games at WinADayCasino.com. They’re all instant-play online casino games so there’s no downloading or installation required.

Badbeat Sponsored Players Rank in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011

Mark Maunsell takes 70th place in a field of 1,058 players

badbeat-maunsel-160.jpgMark Maunsell, 24, was one of two Badbeat.com sponsored poker players to cash in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011 which had a record breaking 1,058 entrants and an astounding £529,000 prize pool.

The other Badbeat.com player was Badbeat Managing Director John Conroy, who was eliminated after racing with TT against AK when down to just 15 big blinds, came in 81st and a prize of £1,375.

Mark first joined Badbeat.com as a Sponsored Player in April 2010 starting on a $300 Daily Limit and, with the support and tuition of his personal high-stakes mentor Manuel Palanca, worked his way through the levels to a $3,000 Daily Limit earning himself not only a profitable year with Badbeat.com but was awarded a PokerStars UKIPT ticket for his outstanding performance.

Mark’s mentor, Manuel, commented, “Mark played a fantastic game throughout his two days at the UKIPT Nottingham which sadly came to an end when his QQ ran into AK with the river bringing a King to eliminate Mark and put him in 70th place for a £1,585 prize. I’m still very proud of him for making it this far in such a big tournament.”

Mark Maunsell commented on his game, “This was my biggest live tournament and although it was a little nerve-wracking, my whole game was pretty solid. I just played the two cards in front of me and took it one step at a time.

Mark will be representing Badbeat.com again at the PokerStars UKIPT Manchester in March and you can keep track of him and all the Badbeat players who are entering by following them on Twitter (@BadbeatLimited), Facebook, the Badbeat Blog (blog.badbeat.com) or at www.badbeat.com.

Texan Wins $20k Jackpot Playing Loose Caboose Online Slot Machine at US-friendly GrandeVegasCasino.com

Several million dollar progressive jackpots still begging to be won!

grandevegascasino-160.jpgLast week Deborah W. from Houston has won $20,139 playing the Loose Caboose online slot machine at GrandeVegasCasino.com.  The US-friendly online casino has more than $5 million in progressive jackpots waiting to be won – and that doesn’t even count all the random jackpots available -- so it should come as no surprise that a regular player walked away with more than $20K after an evening of slots just the other night.

“I win a little here and there, but never anything like this!” said Deborah W. “I like to play in slots tournaments, and Loose Caboose is one that Grande Vegas uses for tournaments, so I’ve played it a lot. Just goes to show, you just never know!”
Loose Caboose is a 25-pay line, 5-reel video slot game with a top jackpot of 5000x the line bet, paid out when five Engineer symbols appear on an active pay line. The Caboose is the Scatter symbol and three or more trigger the Cash Train Bonus Game where free spins can be won. Other symbols of trains from the Wild West include an engine, conductor and ticket.

While progressive jackpots require players to spin a specific combination of symbols after placing a maximum bet, the Loose Caboose jackpot – like several others at Grande Vegas, is a “random” jackpot. This means that any player can hit the jackpot any time, regardless of how much they’ve bet or what they spin.

The biggest progressive jackpots at GrandeVegasCasino.com are the biggest jackpot available to American players. Jackpot Pinatas is currently over $1.6 million. Other million dollar jackpots are the Aztec’s Millions ($1.2 million) and the Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree ($1,055,000). Cleopatra’s Gold is worth over a quarter million.

GrandeVegasCasino.com is famous for its generous bonuses and VIP comps. Players automatically earn 1 free comp point for every $10 wagered. 100 comp points are equivalent to $1 real money that can be wagered or withdrawn.

In addition to their $100 Welcome Bonus, Grande Vegas Casino gives players up to another $200 in deposit bonus money every month (coupon code GRFEB11). Once a month players can also collect up to $140 with the Lifestyle Bonus (coupon code for February: ROMEO). By cashing in on special Monday, mid-month, midweek and “Wild Vegas” bonuses players can get hundreds more in free bonus cash.

Grande Vegas Casino is a state-of-the-art online casino owned by Tigress Management Ltd. It offers hundreds of popular online casino games and several million dollar slot machine progressive jackpots. GrandeVegas.com welcomes players from around the world, including the United States.

Badbeat.com Poker Staking Now Recruiting Poker Tournament Players for Sponsorship

Winning cash game and tournament players wanted during spring recruitment drive

badbeat-160.jpgBadbeat.com has started its spring recruitment efforts and is offering winning cash game and tournament players the chance to change their lives and become part of its stable of sponsored poker pros.

Poker staking is an important part of the modern professional poker ecosystem, with many of today’s top and up-and-coming poker talents enjoying the financial backing of a major online poker operator. Indeed, most of the game’s biggest stars find their way to the main event tables of major tournaments this way, but at a more real-world level, Badbeat.com sponsored players enjoy the type of practical staking that helps their game develop without risking the loss of their own finances.

As part of their Q1 recruitment drive, Badbeat.com is scouting for players. Winning No Limit Hold’em cash game players at $0.25/$0.50 or above, or winning tournament player at $20 buy-in or above and can prove so with statistics such as Hold'em Manager or Shark Scope, can register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route One’ application form found in the “Get Sponsored” page at www.badbeat.com.

Low Stakes Cash Players (lower than $0.25/$0.50) you can still apply to become a Badbeat Sponsored Player as follows: -

• Downloading PokerTime and creating an account;
• Downloading the innovative MyPokerLab software and register using your PokerTime account details;
• Depositing to PokerTime account and playing at least 5,000 real money cash hands.

Once players have at least 5,000 hands recorded in their MyPokerLab account, they can then register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route Two’ application form.

Why would a winning player would need staking? Many players don’t like risking their own money when just a few bad beats and lost coin flips can turn a winning session into one that decimates a bankroll. Badbeat.com provides its sponsored poker players with a fixed amount of money per day to eliminate their personal risk at the tables, freeing them up to play their ‘A-game’. Poker staking often comes to the aid of those with limited financial funding who are struggling to progress because their play is dictated by the size of their bankroll (risk), but would have the potential to move up the levels once freed up.

Players that can beat the lower stakes games but can’t afford to lose your bankroll taking a shot at the big games, and winners that struggle with bankroll management and go on Isildur1-like runs of swings well outside their comfort zone, can change their life and give the big time a shot by applying for the Badbeat.com staking system where world class poker mentors will guide them to their own pro poker career.

Bidibot Implements Special Features to Accommodate New Bidders

Win limits and specially designated auctions give more online poker and casino players a chance to win

bidibot-specialauctions-160.jpgJust like poker, winning a Bidibot penny auction takes both luck and strategy. Since it can take some practice and learning to bid and win against more experienced bidders, Bidibot has incorporated some special features just for newbies. Auctions designated “Max Bids” and “Unlucky Bidders” and “No Bot” help level the playing field. Limits on number of auctions won now make it possible for even more poker and casino game players to buy credits for a fraction of their value.

“We want to accommodate all kinds of customers so, based on feedback we’ve received, we’ve implemented some important changes,” said poker pro and Bidibot founder John Tabatabai. “Win limits and specially designated auctions help ensure everyone has a fair chance of winning.”

Bidibot is an online penny auction site that auctions credits at popular online poker and casino sites. $25, $30 and even $50 in credits usually sell for less than $5. With such incredible bargains to be had, competition can be fierce and many bidders have developed smart strategies. The site does have a “Strategy” section to help new bidders develop their own winning strategy while win limits and special auctions give them an opportunity to hone their bidding skills.

Maxbid auctions, for example, are designed to restrict the number of bids placed per user, reducing the competition and giving new bidders a better chance of winning. The maximum number of bids allowed is illustrated on the Max Bids icon. And Unlucky Bidder auctions are open only to bidders that have never won a Bidibot auction. These auctions are a great place to start bidding against other newcomers.

This week special auctions for Valentine's offer a wide range of consumer goods including televisions, iPods and cameras plus vouchers for Top Shop and spa breaks – and they’ll all likely sell for pennies on the dollar.

Bidibot auctions credits for leading poker and casino sites including Poker Stars, UltimateBet, 888Poker, Absolute Poker, Titan Poker, Victory Poker, JackpotCity, JackpotJoy, Sportsbook.com, PartyBingo and DiceArena. Chilipoker, RPM and Slotland credits are also now available at the only online penny auction site for gamblers.

Bluff Europe Super Tour 'Champion of Champions' Crowned in Paris Next Week

The top European players of 2010 meet at the ACF on 8th February to find out who really is the best of the B.E.S.T.

4 February 2011 (London, UK) -- Throughout 2010 Bluff Europe Magazine tracked the results from over 75 of Europe’s most prestigious tournaments, and the performance of thousands of poker players across the continent, in order to determine the Bluff Europe Super Tour (B.E.S.T.) Player of the Year. The best of the B.E.S.T. play 8th February in Paris to crown the Champion of Champions.

The Bluff Europe Super Tour comprises a special selection of £500-buy-in and above events. The ranking system is determined by a formula that considers the buy-in and the number of entrants in each tournament and only considers tournaments with real international stature. This forumula rewards skill over luck and determines, what the magazine feels, is the most accurate measure of tournament poker players in Europe.

Dutchman Paul Berende topped a ranking system that’s designed to reward consistency rather than one hit wonders, and Paul’s consistent deep finishes in large-field, high-buy-in tournaments were enough to seal the deal.

The top ten players of 2010 will converge on the Aviation Club de France in Paris for an all-star SNG tournament to determine the best of the B.E.S.T. The winner of the tournament will not only receive a seat at the WPT Paris Main Event, worth €5k, but also the trophy, a spot on the front cover of Bluff Europe and the title of Champion of Champions.

The SNG kicks off at 4pm at the ACF on 8th Feb, and, as well Berende, will include big players from countries across Europe, including Nicolas Levi, Emanuele Rugini, Per Linde, Matt Perrins, Craig McCorkell, Steven Van Zaddelhoff and James Mitchell.

Bluff Europe Editor Philip Conneller said, “2010 was the first year of the B.E.S.T. rankings and we feel that they’re the most equitable ranking system in Europe. They’re designed to reward consistency in difficult, high buy-in tournaments and we feel that’s the true mark of a great tournament player. The B.E.S.T Champion of Champions event is the exciting culmination of a fantastic year of European poker.”

Here Comes Super Bowl -- Intertops Sportsbook Picks Aaron Rodgers and the Packers to Stop the Steelers

World’s first and foremost online Sportsbook offering odds on Roethlisberger’s and Rodgers’ performance in Arlington on Sunday

intertops-superbowl-160.jpgIntertops Sportsbook favors the Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers (-145) to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers (+125) at Super Bowl XLV in Arlington, Texas on Sunday. The world’s first online sportsbook is offering dozens of betting propositions on the USA’s biggest game of the year, a special $100 deposit bonus and the chance to win $5000 in February.

Intertops bookmakers predict that the leader of the pack Rodgers (+150) is more likely to be named Super Bowl MVP than his Steelers’ counterpart Ben Roethlisberger (+300). Other bets on the quarterbacks include Net Passing Yards and Number of Interceptions.

“Roethlisberger and Rodgers have both been in dominant form this season,” noted an Intertops Sportsbook manager. “Roethlisberger already has two Super Bowl rings, but we expect Rodgers to handle the pressure on his Super Bowl debut.”

The Super Bowl is the biggest single sports betting event of the year and Intertops Sportsbook has dozens of wagering propositions including First Scoring Play, First Touchdown Scorer, Team to Score First, First Turnover, Highest Scoring Half and Quarter, Longest Punt, Longest Field Goal, and Total Tackles Made by AJ Hawk, Charles Woodson, Clay Matthews, Desmond Bishop, James Farrior, James Harrison, Lawrence Timmons, Nick Collins, Ryan Clark and Troy Polamalu.

With the Black Eyed Peas playing at half time, Intertops bookmakers have had some fun naming some special bets after many of their hits. The “Just Can’t Get Enough” bet puts odds on Ben Roethlisberger scoring three or more touchdowns in the first half at +750. The “Rock That Body” offer puts Aaron Rodgers’ chances of being sacked 4 or more times in the first half at +700.

In addition to a comprehensive line-up of Super Bowl betting propositions, Intertops is giving away loads of free money. Between now and Sunday’s kick-off they’re adding 20% (up to $100) to all deposits. Also, every customer who wagers at least $10 in the Intertops Sportsbook every day during the month of February is automatically in the draw for a $5,000 prize with no rollover requirements! And if the game goes to overtime, Intertops will refund all Total Number of Touchdowns Scored bets.

Last month, Intertops celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of the day it took the world’s very first online sports bet. Since then many brands have come and gone but Intertops is still one of the most trusted igaming operators in the world. The internet’s first sportsbook continues to welcome players from around the world and is known for quick, hassle-free deposits and withdrawals and excellence in customer service. Intertops also operates a US-friendly online casino with more than 300 games and some of the biggest jackpots available anywhere, as well as one of the world’s most popular online poker rooms.

Wife's Love of Shopping Helps WinADay Player Hit $174,139 Jackpot

Massive Slots Jackpot Won on Shopping-themed 'Reel De Luxe'

wad-jackpot-160.jpgOne lucky WinADayCasino.com player is glad he let his wife choose which of the online slots site’s one-of-a-kind games to play last week since he hit a $174,139 progressive jackpot playing her favourite, the shopping-themed Reel De Luxe slot machine.

John R., who’s been playing at WinADay for a couple of years now, said he and his wife often play WinADay’s whimsical slots and video poker games together. Although his own favourite games are the new Egyptian-themed Pyramid Plunder and Lucky Leprechaun (the little green elf that dances across the screen always makes him smile), he let his wife pick the game when the couple sat down to play together earlier this month.

“My wife loves to shop so naturally her favourite game at WinADay is the Reel De Luxe,” he told WinADay. “Usually her shopping costs me money but after this win she can shop as long as she likes!”

The Reel De Luxe is an easy-to-play 5 reel, 25 pay line online slot machine with luxurious jewellery, hand bags, perfume and designer shoes spinning on its reels. It has wild symbols, 2 special bonus features and a bonus game. Its “Present Bonus” feature awards up to 500x the bet and there’s also a special Cash Bonus Game with prizes up to $1500. For shoppers that look for the best deals around there’s a “Discount Bonus” - a discount from total bets on 3 spins up to 100%.

“We are planning to spoil ourselves with a vacation but haven't decided where to go yet,” said the winner, still in shock after his win. “We will most likely donate something to a good cause and the rest we will invest in our future.”

All of the slots games at WinADayCasino.com are tied to the same progressive jackpot. Launched just over a year ago, the Reel De Luxe is one of the newer games at WinADay but this is already its second major jackpot win. Last March a retired widower hit the online casino’s biggest jackpot ever when he won $224,420 playing the popular game.

“Around Christmas time we started to get a feeling that the jackpot would be won any day,” said WinADayCAsino.com manager Michael Hilary. “I said at the time that I thought it would be cool if it was won on the Reel De Luxe since everyone was thinking about shopping at the time and lo and behold it was!”

After adding eleven new games last year, WinADay.com now has a total of 21 very unique games: 13 slot machines and 5 video poker games as well as a keno game and two kinds of roulette. The site, operated by Slotland, is known for its exceptional customer service, whimsical games and loose progressive jackpot.

Intertops Sportsbook Celebrates 15th Anniversary of First Ever Online Sports Bet

The world’s first online sports book still one of the most trusted and reliable

intertops-15years-160.jpgToday is the fifteenth anniversary of the day Intertops Sportsbook took the world’s very first online bet. On January 17, 1996 employees at the company’s original Salzburg, Austria office cheered when a Finn named Jukka Honkavaara placed a $50 stake on the outcome of a Tottenham Hotspur and Hereford United football match. Honkavaara collected $52 on that bet, made a $2 profit, and earned his place in igaming history.

Since then, many brands have come and gone but Intertops remains as one of the most trusted igaming operators in the world. The internet’s very first sports book continues to welcome players from around the world and is known for quick, hassle-free deposits and withdrawals and excellence in customer service.

When he participated in Intertops’ celebration of the tenth anniversary of his history-making wager, Honkavaara said “The days of sports betting and bookies having a ‘shady’ reputation are long gone, and the kind of online service that Intertops brought in the sports betting arena brought credibility to the business so that a simple family man like myself can use the service online, from the comfort of my home, without any unnecessary risk.”

As it has been since it first launched, Intertops is published in both English and German. The original Intertops web site was launched in German, to serve the many sports bettors it had been serving by mail and phone since 1983, and in English -- the primary language of the Internet and the language most spoken in America where there was and is a huge appetite for sports betting and no high street betting shops to take them.

Intertops was founded in 1983 in London with a UK Bookmakers License and relocated to Austria in 1992. In 1997, the online business moved to Antigua while the traditional sports betting business remained in Austria. 1998 saw the launch of one of the first Microgaming online casinos. Last year the company began licensing casino games from RTG. In 2001, the Intertops developed the first mobile betting application, enabling customers to bet with mobile phones anywhere, anytime. By 2003 Intertops.com began online poker operations, progressing to online skill-based gaming in under a year.

Slots Newbie Wins $104,514 Progressive Jackpot at Slotland.com

Win will pay off the mortgage – after a little shopping spree at the mall

slotland-mortgage-160.jpgThe new year is off to a great start for one lucky slots player at Slotland.com. Known as TWOTONEJOAN on the much-loved slots and video poker site, the novice player won $104,514 playing the Booster slot machine last week.

“I still feel like such a newbie at this,” said the winner. “I can’t believe I actually won so much! Slotland was one of the first casinos I tried and I just liked it from the start. Their games are way different than what you see at other places. Before I got so lucky on Booster I would have said that Treasure Box or maybe Reel Riot was my favorite but now I’m definitely a Booster fan!”

The lucky jackpot winner said she’d put most of her winnings toward her mortgage – after a little shopping spree for some new outfits! She said she also planned to set some of her windfall aside to keep playing slots with.



Slotland’s jackpot is won, on average, every six weeks or so, usually for $100,000 to $150,000. However, although it’s been paying out every day for many years, Booster hasn’t had a major progressive jackpot winner for quite some time. At over $168K that one was one of the biggest of the year though.

The Booster slot game is a three-wheel, single pay line online slot machine. Its BOOST symbol is wild. Whenever it appears players can either keep their current bet or "boost" it up to10x.

“Although many players like to play multi-pay line slot machines, like our new Lucky Ducts where you can bet on up to 19 pay lines per spin, lots of people like simpler single pay line games like Booster,” said Michael Hilary of Slotland.com. “Another thing players really like about Booster is that no bet is ever totally lost!”

Every bet that doesn’t win is added to the special fund and can be cashed anytime for 10% of its value – or in a special all or nothing win/lose spin, players can recover all their losing bets.

There were lots of major jackpot wins at Slotland in 2010. The first was a player who’d had many smaller wins, but never a massive jackpot like the $134,385 he won in February playing the Genie-themed Magic. Then in May the biggest jackpot of the year -- $163,476 – was won on the Golden 8. SOUTHBELLE won almost $150K on Lucky Stars in August and a Canadian won $107,064 on Wild Heart shortly after. A budget-conscious grandmother won almost $80K playing Jacks or Better video poker slot in November.

A popular online casino for more than twelve years, Slotland.com now has 19 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. A new game, vampire-themed Jewels of the Ancients, will be launched next month. Many of the instant-play games have recently been upgraded with enhanced graphics and sound effects. Six of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs.

The jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win and is already over $60,000. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is over $160,000 and many players feel it is overdue for a hit.

NFL Wild Card Playoffs Are a Tough Call but Intertops Sportsbook Favors the Colts, Saints, Eagles and Ravens This Weekend

Online sports book offers 20% Wild Card Deposit Bonus and a $1000 giveaway

intertops-nfl2010-160.jpgThe NFL postseason is here at last and Intertops Sportsbook is ready and waiting with hot odds on the weekend’s Wild Card playoffs. While one game has an obvious favorite, three are looking very difficult to call. As Super Bowl excitement builds, the popular online sports book, which posts odds on all US major league sports (NFL, NHL and NBA), is offering a special Wild Card Deposit Bonus this week and a free draw for $1000.

In perhaps the most interesting matchup of the weekend, the New York Jets travel to the Indianapolis Colts. The hosts have endured a below-par season in general, but four straight wins to end the Regular Season show that they are still a force to be reckoned with. Intertops bookmakers favor the Colts (-140) to knock out Mark Sanchez and co. (+120).

Saturday also sees defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans go to Seattle as a 10.5 point favorite. The Seahawks became the first team in history to reach the postseason with a below .500 Regular Season record, but it now looks very much like the end of the road for them.

Sunday’s showcase matchup sees Green Bay take on Philadelphia. It is a game that is likely to center on the duel between influential quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers and Michael Vick and Intertops bookies favor the home-team Eagles (-140) to move on.

The Kansas City Chiefs have been one of the surprises of the current season and are hoping to keep their season alive at home to the tough Baltimore Ravens. Once again this is a difficult one to call, but superior playoff experience could well see the Ravens (-140) through in the end.

Intertops is making the Wild Card Weekend even more attractive for its customers by offering a deposit bonus through January 9th.

In addition, every customer who wagers at least $50 on each of the four Wild Card games this weekend will be entered in a free draw for a $1000 bonus to be held on Monday. Wild Card Playoffs odds as well as Super Bowl odds and props are posted at www.Intertops.com/sportsbook.

All odds quoted are as of today and are subject to change.

Savings Record Broken as Bidibot Penny Auction Site Continues To Consistently Deliver Staggering Discounts

Customers Record Amazing 99%+ Savings!

Online poker and casino penny auction site Bidibot.com continues to offer amazing discounts to all its customers; consistently delivering savings of between 98% and 99% on recommended retail prices. At this time of year it’s no surprise that consumer electronics and video games are especially popular, and canny Bidibot customers are certainly making the most of the current promotional price of 50c per bid.

After only nine bids, Bidibot user “bippo” recently walked away victorious with a black Nintendo Wii and 400 bids for a final price of $1.09 – a staggering 99.78% saving on the RRP. The very same customer then found himself the only bidder in an auction for Xbox game, Call of Duty: Black Ops, winning it with a single bid at a 98.99% discounted price of $1.01.

Other satisfied Bidibot.com users, “SuperTommy” and “RE53RVD”, also picked up video games bargains in recent auctions. The smash hit PlayStation 3 game, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit, and 80 bids went to “SuperTommy” after only 10 bids for a 98.90% saving of $1.10. Meanwhile “RE53RVD” saved himself an impressive 98.93% when he walked away with an Xbox 360 copy of FIFA 11 and 80 bids for only 1.07. These wins represent some of the best value seen on the site to date.

Bidibot continues to innovate with new options and functionality, including the latest auction feature, Max Bids. These auctions allow each user to only place up to a specified maximum number of bids. This means that other competing users’ bid balances no longer matter - it’s wit and skill that will help you win - so work out how best to use your limited bids to win the auction!

Designed for online poker and casino players, Bidibot auctions casino and poker credits that players pick up for literally pennies. Every day – and at this time of year in particular – Bidibot also auctions consumer electronics as well as some of the most up-to-date games on the market. With a newly redesigned homepage, new partners, new features and new products, there’s never been a better time to get involved - especially while the site is offering 100% extra free bids with any bid pack purchased.

Winter Winds May Be Howling But WinADayCasino’s Overdue Jackpot is HOT!

Unique casino launches new lobby designed to accommodate the many new one-of-a-kind games added in 2010

wad-xmasjackpot-160.jpgWinter winds may be howling across Europe and North America this month, but with its progressive jackpot approaching $150K and well overdue for a big win, things are really heating up at WinADayCasino.com. There are so many new games at WinADay now that the lobby has recently been redesigned to make room for them all. The next big win could happen on any of the unique online casino’s 21 one-of-a-kind games.

Although a couple of recent wins have been over $200K, the average is about $150,000. It’s usually won every six to 8 weeks. Since it’s approaching $150K again now, and since it’s been 6 weeks since Marie S won $158,778 playing the Slot 21 Game, many WAD players have a feeling it’s about time for a hit.

“Of course the jackpot can be won any time,” said WinADay Casino manager Michael Hilary. “It’s completely random. You just have to hit the right combination and have placed a max bet on that spin. But slot strategy isn’t always logical! When the jackpot gets big enough or goes long enough without a win, a lot of players start to feel like the very next spin could be a massive winner, so we see a lot more max bets at a time like this.”

There were six major jackpot winners at WinADayCasino.com in 2010. Marie S won $158,778 playing the Slot 21 Game just last month. In August, a Florida player won just under $100K playing the new Leprechaun Luck. A New Jersey film student won over $200,000 in June and a retired widower won a record-breaking $224,420 jackpot in March. The first jackpot win of 2010 was when a special education teacher won $115,803 on the Vegas Mania slot machine.

“On the one hand, I’d love to see the jackpot reach a quarter of a million dollars this time,” said Hilary. “That’d be a record. But on the other hand, we’d love to pay out a huge jackpot to someone right at Christmas! Our Reel De Luxe slot machine – the one that’s dedicated to shoppers – is all decked out for the holidays. Wouldn’t it be cool if someone hit the jackpot on that game!?”

Beginning with the new Aces and Faces video poker game that launched in January and including the new Double Double Bonus Poker that just launched earlier this month, WinADayCasino.com has added 11 unique and original new games to its collection this year. Leprechaun Luck launched in time for St. Patrick’s Day and Roulette 5 – a combination of slots and roulette -- followed in April. In May, Slot 21 with its Blackjack type bonus game was introduced and for summer, the exotic Tropical Treat slot machine arrived in June. Keno was added in July, La Roulette (a European Roulette game) arrived in August and Jackpot Jinni went online in September. Win A Fortune, based on the popular American TV game show, premiered in October and Egyptian-themed Pyramid Plunder made its debut in November. They’re all instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

“When we first launched we had only three games displayed in a 3D lobby. Now that we have so many games we had to find an easier way for players to browse through them and to get quickly to their favourites. We’ve had nothing but positive response to the re-design.”

For December, WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Leprechaun Luck. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw. January’s Game of the Month will be Slot 21.

Bidibot Penny Auction for Gamblers to Auction $2500 Cash in Celebration of $250,000 Milestone

Poker’s online penny auction site offers up $2,500 in cash auction to celebrate awarding $250,000 in prizes since launch

bidibot-ticket-160.jpgBidibot.com, online gambling’s penny auction site, has already awarded over a quarter of a million dollars in free poker chips and other prizes to its customers. Offering everything from account credit at some of the biggest online poker and casino sites in the world to iPads and Video Games Consoles, Bidibot.com has very quickly become a major force in the industry.

To celebrate Bidibot.com’s unprecedented success and $250,000 prize milestone, the site has announced that it will be auctioning off $2,500 in cash, offering yet more amazing value to its customers.

Bidders continue to grab bargains on average 90% below its suggested retail price. In September, pro poker player Mark Herron won a GUKPT package valued at over £1,000 for only $3.18, while another happy customer walked away with an iPad for the discount price of $5.10. More recently Bidibot user, TheHulk, followed-up on a $5.38 iPad win by picking up an Xbox 360 for only $2.01 (representing a 99.26% discount).

Bidibot CEO and one of the UK’s best known poker pros, John Tabatabai said, “We created this site to offer the kind of real value to players that they wouldn’t be able to find elsewhere. To have been able to already award over a quarter of a million dollars in prizes something we’re extremely proud of.”

Brilliant Full Screen Graphics and Double Bonus Round Make WinADayCasino's New Video Poker Game an Instant Hit

Double Double Bonus Poker features multi-hand play and high four-of-a-kind payoffs

Double Double Bonus Poker video poker at WinADayCasino6 December 2010 (London, UK) – WinADayCasino.com has just launched a new video poker game, Double Double Bonus Poker with extraordinary graphics and sound effects and a free bonus round that extends playing time. Special launch week bonuses continue until Wednesday.

Double Double Bonus Poker is a variation of the Jacks or Better card game and has high bonus payoffs for several four of a kind combinations (x400 for Aces). Players can play up to fifty hands at once and can double their winnings in special playoff rounds.



The new game has a unique neo-Grecian theme – classic marble columns with a cartoony twist and a splash of flashing neon. It’s Caesar’s Palace through the eyes of WinADay’s in-house creative design team – the off-the-wall crew that has produced such delightful visual feasts as the Egyptian-themed Pyramid Plunder, Slot 21 (a slot machine with a Blackjack-type bonus game) and classics like the retro-styled Slot-O-Matic.

Double Double Bonus Poker’s “Double or Collect” bonus game, triggered whenever total winnings exceed the amount bet, gives players lots of extra playing time for their dime (or wager up to $5 per hand) and is one of many reasons the new game is quickly becoming a favourite with WinADay’s many regular players.

“The first thing I thought when I saw it was ‘Wow, big!’” said one player involved in pre-launch testing of the new game. “I’m not used to games filling up my whole screen with flashing neon lights like that! I’m glad my husband talked me into getting the big computer screen and nice speakers. I’m telling you, these new games really are getting to be just like sitting in front of a video poker terminal at a big fancy casino in Las Vegas. I love it!”

With Pyramid Plunder added last month and the TV-inspired Win a Fortune the month before, Double Double Bonus Poker now makes 21 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, roulette and keno games. They’re all instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Leprechaun Luck slot machine. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

The slots games at WinADay Casino are all tied to one big progressive jackpot which is currently approaching $100,000 again after a $158K win just a few weeks ago.

Global Gaming Events UB Challenge Free Roll Poker TournamentGlobal Gaming Events (GGE) has formally challenged all UB Pros to a tournament on December 12th, 2010 at 3pm EST. After dozens of GGE Tournaments on UB, GGE has finally thrown down the gauntlet, prodding UB Pros to settle the debate once and for all at the poker tables.

"We think the GGE Players are far superior to the UB Pros,” said Jason Rosenberg of Global Gaming Events, “We invite all UB Pros to prove us wrong, but it is highly probable that some might be too afraid to show up."

The freeroll tournament is open to all poker players and features a $2000 Prize Pool. If a UB Pro is able to win this tournament, GGE will donate $1,000 to that UB Pro’s choice of charity. Players must pre-register by 3pm EST, December 9th, 2010 if they wish to play.

UB Pros Annie Duke, Brandon Cantu, Gary “DEBO34” DeBernardi, Mark “P0ker H0” Kroon, Scott Ian, and Trishelle Cannatella have already registered and have confirmed that they have accepted the GGE Challenge. More UB Pros are expected to confirm their participation in the next few days.

John Tabatabai, Bidibot.com CEO and one of the UK’s best known poker pros, explained that the extra special Christmas campaign was a reflection of the sort of value the site offers online casino and poker players on a daily basis.

“We’re really excited about the Christmas range for our Bidibot.com players as it’s an extension of the value we’ve been offering since day one on the site, and with our new stricter win limits, we’re looking forward to welcoming some brand new members to the winners’ circle,” he said.

“The quality of electrical goods available at over 90% discount on face value, in tandem with our regular top drawer gaming credits and packages means that bidders are really in for a treat when they sign up to Bidibot.com this Christmas.”

The stricter win limits at the site will mean that a wider variety of winners will get access to the top prizes. This week’s auction item sees a $300 PlayStation 3 package going under the hammer on Saturday, December 4, and players will be hoping to follow last week’s winner, TheHulk, who picked up an Xbox 360 for $2.01– a 99.26% discount.

Grandmother Will Play Santa with Sack Full of Cash This Christmas Thanks to Jackpot Win at Slotland.com

Progressive jackpot won on Jacks or Better, a classic game that’s just been improved with enhanced graphics and sound effects

slotland-jacksbetter-160.jpgA first-time grandmother who hit the jackpot at Slotland.com last week will have a sack full of money for her Christmas shopping this year. The player known as ROBINSONJ, who’s expecting her first grandchild in the new year, won $78,112 playing her favourite Slotland game, the Jacks or Better video poker slot game.

The jackpot winner has been playing regularly at Slotland for about three years. She said that she finds playing slots to be relaxing and entertaining but that she knows when to stop.

“I have a small budget that I play with,” she said. “You can play quite awhile with not much money if you get lucky with free spins and bonus games.”

Smaller wins over the years have kept her going, but this is the first time the avid slots player has won anywhere near this much money.



“I was shaking! I couldn’t keep my eyes off the screen!” she said. “The timing couldn’t be better with Christmas coming and a new grandchild to shop for!”

This is one of the biggest progressive jackpots to be won on Jacks or Better. Just over a year ago another grandmother known as QAZMLP won $175,812 on the popular game. Slotland’s most recent jackpot winner was at the end of September when WINNIPEGLEG won $107,064 on the Wild Heart video poker slots game.

“All of our games are tied to one big progressive jackpot,” said Slotland.com Manager Michael Hilary. “Part of every max bet placed in any of our games goes into the jackpot pool until some lucky player spins a winning combination.”

To win the jackpot in Jacks or Better ROBINSONJ placed a $10 bet and then got a Royal Flush.

Jacks or Better is one of 7 popular games that Slotland has recently released in a new Flash format that enables the designers to include even more incredible graphics and sound effects. Like all Slotland games, their unique Jacks or Better video poker slots game is available only at Slotland.com.

Slotland now has 19 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker slots games. Six of the most popular games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs.

The jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win and is already over $60,000. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is over $80,000 after a $158K win earlier this month.

iPhones, iPads and Games Consoles on Christmas List at Bidibot.com

Online penny auction site gets in festive spirit with a range of great electrical gifts at bargain prices.

bidibot-ticket-160.jpg Bidibot.com, the online gambling-specific penny auction site, is set to roll out a new Christmas campaign that will see poker players picking up high quality stocking fillers at massively discounted prices every day.

Players registering to the site will be in for a festive feast of home and mobile entertainment as daily auction lots including laptops, iPads, iPhones and games consoles - such as the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 64 - are auctioned off to the highest bidder. It may sounds like a normal auction, but when customers consider that each bid increases the bid price by just $0.01, then they get a feel for the huge value available at Bidibot.com this Christmas.

In the past two weeks, two bidders - rje8686 and TheHulk - have each claimed a brand new games console for under 5% of the normal retail cost. The Sony PlayStation 3 winner, rje8686, posted the final bid of $12.17 to claim his prize for a staggering 96% discount on the normal retail value, while The Hulk secured an Xbox 360 with the new FIFA 11 game for a mere $2.01 - a massive 99.26% saving.

"While most of the auction lots we offer at Bidibot.com are online casino and poker chips, we're also very aware that it's Christmas for poker players too, so we're delighted to be offering these high quality, high value products at bargain prices," said Bidibot CEO, John Tabatabai.

"Registered users are averaging well over 90% discount on face value packages across our whole site, and the last two console wins were no different, and to be able to offer this sort of value with Christmas approaching is just fantastic. And, with 100% extra free bids on your first deposit, the time has never been better to join in the fun."

Registration is free, and new members will receive $10 worth of free bids and have their first deposits matched with 100% extra free bids.

Week 10 Winners Cash In as NFL Pool Competition Continues at Intertops Sportsbook

Special 20% Thanksgiving deposit bonus available next week

Intertops NFL Pool CompetitionThere are some tough calls in the NFL Week 11 schedule, but the player who correctly predicts the most outcomes in Intertops Sportsbook’s free NFL Pool Competition will pocket $100.

The Chicago Bears’ Thursday game against the Miami Dolphins could be one of the most difficult to predict this week. Bookmakers also think the Indianapolis Colts v New England Patriots game could go either way. Intertops Sportsbook, the online sportsbook, which has been popular with American sports fans since it took the very first online wager in1996, has posted odds on all Week 11 NFL games.

“Several of last week’s games were difficult to predict as well,” said an Intertops spokesperson, “But we still had three people correctly predict 11 games in our NFL Pool Competition!”

Every week throughout the NFL Regular Season, football fans can win bet tokens worth up to $100 by predicting the winners of the week’s action in Intertops Sportsbook’s Free NFL Pool Competition. It’s free to enter so players have nothing to lose and could end the weekend with an extra $100 in their account.

NFL Pool Competition Week 10 winners:
$100 - Carlos P. from California (11 correct picks)
$50 - David B. from Idaho (11)
$25 - Rolf K. from Manitoba (11)
Another 7 players each won $10.

At the beginning of the season bookmakers favored Green Bay to win Super Bowl XLV over the Indianapolis Colts, but current odds show they don’t expect the Colts to even make the trip to Texas. Intertops bookmakers currently have the Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers all at +800.

Beginning Tuesday. when Week 12 NFL odds will be posted, and continuing through the holiday weekend, Intertops will give an extra 20% deposit bonus up to $100. Throughout the NFL season, every dollar wagered on NFL action earns one entry in a free draw for a luxury trip to Super Bowl XLV in Texas.

WinADay's New Egyptian-themed Slot Machine, 'Pyramid Plunder', Features 3 Ways to Win Bonuses

Bonus cash and gift draws celebrate launch of 20th new game at unique online casino

wad-pyramidplunder-160.jpgSlots players can imagine themselves walking in the footsteps of the pharaohs as they spin the reels on WinADayCasino.com’s latest creation, the Egyptian-theme slot machine, Pyramid Plunder. And like the ancient tomb raiders they can strike it rich discovering treasures hidden within the pyramid.

“We’ve got games with leprechauns, genies, tropical animals and of course Las Vegas but one casino classic that we were missing was an Egyptian-themed game,” said Michael Hilary, manager of WinADayCasino.com. “We create all of our games ourselves – you won’t find any of them anywhere else – so we got our game developers to think ‘Egyptian’ and I think they’ve come up with one of their most spectacular designs yet!”



Pyramid Plunder is a five-reel, 25 pay line slot machine. Players can bet as little as 1¢ or as high as $4 per line per spin. This new game has three opportunities to win bonuses. There’s a Scarab beetle that walks over any non-winning spin to uncover new symbols that could make a winning combination. There’s also a Mummy that waves its arms and shifts its reel down by one or two symbols adding winnings from any new combinations created to winnings from the original spin.

But the ultimate Pyramid Plunder bonus is the Chamber of Treasures bonus game built into it. To reach the bonus game and enter the pyramid, players must collect four Pyramid symbols from the reels. Inside, they choose three tiles from the pyramid floor and can win cash, a free spin, a free pick or a map of one of the pyramids they may get to visit in their next bonus game.

Like all slots games at WinADayCasino.com, the new Pyramid Plunder is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot. Hitting 5 pharaohs with a total bet of $5.00 or more wins the progressive jackpot, which, after a recent $158K win, is currently about $40,000.

As it always does when it launches a new game, WinADayCasino.com is offering players bonus money and free gift draws. For starters, every player that logs on from November 13 through November 21 will find an extra $12 in their account to use to take a few spins on the new game. The twenty players with the most total bets on the Pyramid Plunder during the same period will split $3,250 in prize money with the top bettor winning $1,000. Everyone that plays at least 10 rounds on Pyramid Plunder between the 13th and 21st will automatically be included in a random draw for more prizes ranging from $50 to $200. (Bonus terms and conditions apply and are posted on the site.)

WinADayCasino.com launched its last new game, Win A Fortune (based on the popular American game show), just a few weeks ago and now has 20 one-of-a-kind games – slots, video poker, Roulette and Keno. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

First First Big Jackpot Winner on WinADay's New Slot 21 Slot Machine Hits $158K Jackpot

First major jackpot win for new game that combines slots and Blackjack

wad-slot21jackpot-160.jpgA WinADayCasino.com player has won a $158,778 progressive jackpot playing one of the newest games at the unusual online slots and video poker site. Marie S. won the massive jackpot playing the Slot 21, a slots game which a blackjack-style bonus game. All slots games at WinADay are tied to the same progressive jackpot but this is the first major jackpot winner on the relatively new game.

“Whenever our progressive jackpot goes over $100,000 it feels like it could be hit any day,” said WinADayCasino.com manager Michael Hilary. “When it gets to $150,000 we’re really on the edge of our seats!”

“You can only imagine how thrilled I was when I was happily spinning away; winning some and also losing some and the next thing I knew I hit the big one,” said the winner who has been playing at WinADayCasino.com almost two years. “Oh my, did I almost faint! I thought, this couldn't be happening to me!”



“Now comes the time to think what I will do with my win. It’s not as easy as it seems and I am not one to make quick decisions but I sure will enjoy every penny of this sweet win.”

The new Slot 21 has been incredibly popular with players since it was launched last May. The jackpot winner says it quickly became a personal favourite but it’s obviously now her all time favourite!

"When Slot 21 was released, I found it rather interesting. The design reminded me of some classic machine one would find in a land-based casino and the Blackjack bonus game looked fun so I was more than happy to give it a try. Although Win A Day has so many cool games to chose from, I must say it soon became one of my favourites.”

The new Slot 21 game at WinADayCasino.com online casino is a combination of two casino favourites, slot machines and blackjack. First and foremost, it’s a kitschy, retro, arcade-style slot machine reminiscent of the old strip in Las Vegas. But it also has two bonus card games built into it.

When the Red & Black scatter symbol appears on the right most reel, players have the option of playing the Red & Black Bonus Game where they can double the winnings of their last spin.

A second bonus game within this new slot machine is inspired by Blackjack. By collecting Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces on the slot machine reels players earn “21 Cash” which can then be used to play a hand of blackjack. When players draw cards that come closer to 21 than the bank’s hand, without going over, their wager is doubled. When a player spins five “crown” symbols like Marie S. did, they win the progressive jackpot.

Last month WinADayCasino.com added its 19th new one-of-a-kind game. The Win A Fortune slots game brings the thrills of America’s favourite television game show to an exciting new slot machine and has a nail-biting double-or-nothing Double Bonus Round. Like all games at WinADayCasino.com, Win a Fortune is an instant-play casino game so there’s no downloading or installation required.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Reel Deluxe, a slot machine dedicated to shoppers. Everyone that plays it this month is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

The jackpot was reset to $30,000 after this win and has been increasing quickly since then.
