Slotland’s New Fruitmania Slot Machine Features Free Bonus Spins

Slotland's last few new video slots have mythical design themes and elaborate built in bonus games, but they've gone back to basics for their latest release. The new Fruitmania launched this week is a more traditional pub-style slot machine complete with cherries, lemons and bars. Its Bonus Meter is a fantastically simple bonus game that gives up to 15 free bonus spins.

As usual, Slotland is giving players some free casino bonus money to take a spin on the new game. The first time they log on between tomorrow and Sunday players will find an extra $30 in their accounts. Then this Friday and Saturday Fruitmania ‘Bonus Builder’ casino bonuses kick in giving a 40% bonus on players’ first deposit, 60% on the second, 80% on the third and 100% on fourth.



Fruitmania is a 5-reel, 15 pay line online slot machine where players can bet a minimum $.20 and maximum $4.00 per line. Payouts are up to x480 for flaming 7s and up to x1500 with that old slots standard, the venerable “Bar”. 5 bars with a minimum $10 bet on the spin hits the site-wide progressive jackpot, currently approaching $200,000 (and considered well overdue by Slotland regulars).

There are 5 bonus features illuminated on the big bright Bonus Meter next to the reels. Spinning "Level Up" scatter symbols lights up one level on the Bonus Meter. Hitting three "Bonus" scatter symbols activate the highest bonus feature reached so far (or accumulated...). When players reach the top level of the Bonus Meter, hitting three "Level UP" symbols triggers Fruit Mania, the highest bonus feature.

All spins are free spins during the bonus round and “+1 Bonus Round" symbols add extra bonus spins. “Fruit Mania x15” is a special bonus combination that activates at least 15 free spins and pays out on any combination of fruit symbols.

Slotland.com, which recently celebrated its 13th anniversary, now offers 23 no download slots and video poker slot games. Unlike all the boring “cookie-cutter” slots online, each of Slotland’s unique casino games is one-of-a-kind and not available anywhere but Slotland. Slotland also offers a collection of unique mobile slots for iPhones, smart phones and tablets.

Lucky Club Introduces New Million Dollar Jackpot on Monster Millions Slot Machine

There are very few seven-figure online slots jackpots out there but Lucky Club Casino has just given online casino players another million dollar jackpot to shoot for. LuckyClub.eu is pleased to bring it to present the new Monster Millions slot machine (which currently has a progressive jackpot of just over a million dollars) alongside 30 other completely new online casino games.

Monster Millions may be their biggest jackpot but it's certainly not the only jackpot to be won at Lucky Club. Several of the slick new casino’s new games feature the Jackpot Pyramid bonus game which keeps the monster fun happening longer and can multiply wins. Many of the casino’s slots games have random Major and Minor jackpots.



“As the jackpot network grows this jackpot will increase quickly,” said Lucky Club manager Alex Hunter. “It has currently reached the $1 million mark and could be won on the next spin for all we know. If this is the case, we look forward to making one of our customers a millionaire!”

The million dollar Monster Millions Jackpot can be won with five of the scattered Moon symbols on a spin during the Monster Mania free game feature. The feature is triggered when a Moon symbol appears on both reels 1 and 5. The free game round takes players to a seemingly quiet bedroom where they select from seven hiding places in search of three Monsters. Prizes are tripled during free games (except the Monster Millions Jackpot) and there are also Monster Bonuses to be won.

Bebo and Tang, two animated monsters, are Wilds and can multiply prizes by up to 6x. The Monster Bonus is triggered when either of them appears on reels 2, 3 and 4 giving a bonus prize up to 500 times the triggering slot bet.

Like many of Lucky Club’s new games, Monster Millions includes the Feature Guarantee which ensures that either the Monster Bonus or Monster Mania Feature will be triggered within a given number of spins. Using the Instant Trigger option, players can try to trigger these features at any time.

In addition to Monster Millions, Lucky Club Casino (www.LuckyClub.eu) has 30 video slot machines, three video poker games (Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker) and four table games (Baccarat, Blackjack, Let ´em Ride, Tri Card Poker). New online slots African Skies, Greek Goddess and The Duck Ages feature the 5-level, interactive progressive jackpot game “Jackpot Pyramid”.

Bounty Tournaments at Intertops Poker Give Two Chances to Cash In

In two special bounty tournaments held second weekday in November at Intertops Poker, players will have  two chances to cash in. Tournament players not only win money, but also earn one point for every player they eliminate in the process. At the end of the month the player with the most points will be declared the Knock Out Champion and the top ten point scorers on the Knock Out Challenge Leaderboard will split $1,000 in prize money. The more opponents a player eliminates, the higher they rank on the leaderboard and the bigger their share of the prize pool.

“Even if you don’t finish in the money, you still have the chance to stash some cash,” said the Intertops’ Poker Manager. “Just knock out enough players and you take home some prize money!”

Knock-Out Challenge Tournaments will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday in November at 6pm EST and 10pm EST. Buy-in is only $5+0.5 and $2 of that becomes a bounty on the player’s and their rival’s head. Tournament details are provided on the Promotions tab at Intertops Poker.

In addition, there’s $25,000 up for grabs in the November FPP Race. Intertops Poker players earn Frequent Player Points whenever they are dealt cards at any real-money cash game or pay a poker tournament entry fee. Each week, players that finish in the top 100 Frequent Player Point earners will win a share of the $6250 awarded that week. FPP Race information is available on the Intertops Poker “Promotions” tab and players can check their standings on the FPP Race Leaderboard any time.

Trusted for more than fifteen years, Intertops was one of the first online casino, poker and sportsbook sites on the internet. Known for its friendly customer service and hassle-free deposits and withdrawals, Intertops gives away tens of thousands of dollars in casino and poker bonuses every month.

Over $700,00 in Casino Bonuses Awarded During Slotland's 13th Birthday Celebrations

Slotland.com has been celebrating its 13th anniversary this month and to mark the occasion they've already given away over $700,000 in casino bonuses. And there’s more where that came from!  You have until midnight October 31st to claim your free $50 no-deposit casino bonus when you log on to the no download casino.

At the end of the month, another $8500 in birthday prize money will be awarded. All players who deposit and play slots in October automatically collect points, one for every $10 wagered. The fifty players with the most points will win cash prizes up to $2000 -- $8500 in all. (Some restrictions apply and are given on the site.)

“We expected a big turnout for our birthday party, but we’ve been much busier than anyone thought!” said Michael Hilary. “We paid out more in bonuses than we anticipated -- but a lot of people had a lot of fun and that’s what birthday parties are all about, aren’t they!?”



Slotland.com is one of the oldest and most trusted video slots sites in the world with some of the most original slots online. All month birthday greetings have been pouring in from players that have been entertained at the one-of-a-kind site over the years.

“I just wanted to say thank you for all you do to take care of your customers and VIP players as myself,” said Lynn Y. (1963CENTERCAP). “It’s hard to find such outstanding service. Happy birthday to you from your player for life!”

“Glad to see such an honest gaming site,” wrote Jerome Y. (JERRYJJ3) “Happy birthday and have many more! I never win much but lots of good play and fun. Many more HAPPY BIRTHDAYS!”

Slotland’s progressive jackpot is currently over $150,000 and hasn’t been hit since June. Since it’s usually won before it gets that high, and seldom goes more than six weeks without a major win, there could very well be a massive jackpot win before the birthday month is over.

Slotland has 22 no download slots and video poker games and none of them can be found at any other online casino. Six, however, are also available as mobile slots.

“We wanted something new and better for our players,” said Lucky Club Casino Manager Alex Hunter. “We are sure they’re going to love the new metro-style look and they’re definitely going to be blown away by the new games we’ve got on offer. These are brand new games that they won’t have seen anywhere else – they’re amazing!”

Initial reaction to the slick new design and the brilliant new games has been overwhelmingly positive.



“This is great, a sweet new set of casino games to play. Love it!” said one player on re-opening day.

Lucky Club management assures players that, although the games are all new, there is still the same strong commitment to friendly, efficient customer service and hassle-free withdrawals and deposits for players around the world.

To get things off to a good start, Lucky Club Casino is giving all players a 100% Welcome Bonus.

Lucky Club Casino has 30 video slot machines from Nuworks Gaming, including “Monster Millions” which features a large progressive jackpot. There are also three video poker games (Deuces Wild, Jacks or Better, Joker Poker) and four table games (Baccarat, Blackjack, Let ´em Ride, Tri Card Poker). New online slots African Skies, Greek Goddess and The Duck Ages feature the 5-level, interactive progressive jackpot game “Jackpot Pyramid”.

$180K WinADay Jackpot Won This Week by Grandfather Who'll Pay Some Bills and Then Have Some Fun with Winnings

WinADayCasino.com jackpot winner Joe H. says he’ll use some of his $184,060 jackpot win to pay off some bills. He’s also thrilled to be able to help his grandchildren with their education. But the self-employed grandfather said he also plans to set plenty aside to enjoy playing casino games and to do some Christmas shopping.

The winner was playing the new Pyramid Plunder slot machine on Monday when he spun the winning combination. Fortunately he had at least $5 wagered on that lucky spin.

“I just had a feeling, when I sat down to play on Monday. I had a hunch it was going to be a good day,” he said. “I often just wager five or ten cents a line so I can keep playing longer. But when I’m feeling a little bit lucky like that I often bet a little more. So I had $1 bet on ten lines when up came all those Pharoahs!”

One of the instant casino’s biggest online slot machine jackpots this year

Although the WinADay jackpot was hit for a record-breaking $225K in June, the average win is about $160,000 making the latest win one of the largest this year. All but one of WinADay’s slots games are tied to one progressive jackpot but this is the first time it’s been won on Pyramid Plunder.

“It’s going to be hard not to splurge on my kids and grand kids this Christmas, that’s for sure,” said the winner. “But I think even once a few bills are paid, and I’ve put some away for my grandchildren’s college fund, I’ll still be able to afford to be generous.”

Pyramid Plunder has been one of Joe’s favorite games since the instant casino it launched last November. It’s a 25 pay line slot machine with three opportunities to win bonuses: an animated Scarab beetle that gives a second chance for a winning combination; a Mummy that shifts its reel down by one or two symbols to create additional winning combinations; and the Chamber of Treasures bonus game where players can win cash and free spins.

WinADayCasino.com is a no download casino with 27 one-of-a-kind slot games and video poker games. Its progressive jackpot was reset to $50,000 following last week’s win. At its sister site, Slotland.com, the jackpot is currently over $160,000.

WinADay players interact with each other and receive special casino bonuses on Facebook: www.Facebook.com/WinADayCasino.

Canucks Goalie, Luongo, Taking Shots for Endorsing Poker Site

The star goalie for the NHL's Vancouver Canucks is also an avid poker player. Last month he started appearing in television commercials for PlayNow.com, an online poker site operated by the British Columbia Lottery Corporation. As a role model for kids, he's being hotly criticized for becoming a spokesperson of such a "dangerous" activity.  One critic went so far as to say he might as well be encouraging kids to smoke!

What bothers me about the ad is that it suggests that you can actually play against Luongo on the site. That seems possible but not too likely  ;)

This CBC story includes a video clip that shows the "offensive" ad:  http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2011/10/17/bc-luongo-poker-endorsement-controversy.html


What do you think? Should he have turned down this opportunity?

Punta Cana Poker Classic Makes Marked Improvements

Event organizers for the Punta Cana Poker Classic announced today the implementation of improvements to this year’s event based upon feedback from their inaugural tournament in 2010 . The improvements will include adding a professional dealing staff with World Series of Poker experience, and opening up the cash game room to run 24 hours a day.

The Punta Cana Poker Classic is an annual land based Texas Hold’em poker tournament held at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The event will have a $500,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool and be preceded by a $100,000 Guaranteed High Roller Backgammon Tournament.

“We acted upon the feedback from all of last year’s participants,” commented Punta Cana Poker Classic Tournament Director. “We want to get better every year so we made sure to institute the changes that the player’s wanted. These changes will ensure smoother gameplay and allow our players to play cash games night and day.”

Players from last year’s event felt that the tournament could use a more seasoned dealing staff as well as no closing time for cash games. As a result, the PCPC staff will open cash game room to operate around the clock, and will be flying in a dealing staff from Las Vegas, all of whom have World Series of Poker experience.

“We’re thrilled with the new changes and believe this year’s event will defy expectations,” continued the representative. “The ambience of expectation is very nice since we have a lot of surprises and hope that players and their guests have a ball.”

The 2nd Annual $500,000 Guaranteed Punta Cana Poker Classic will run November 8th to 13th, 2011 at the luxurious five-star Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in the Dominican Republic. The $3,500 package includes a $1,500 + $150 buy-in to the main event, 5 nights stay with all inclusive premium food and beverage, $500 towards airfare and $1,500 hotel credit for spa golf and tours.

Happy 13th Birthday to Slotland, One of the First and Still One of the Best Online Casinos Anywhere

Happy birthday to one of the very first -- and still one of the best -- online casinos! This month Slotland.com, one of the world’s most trusted online casinos and home of some very popular no download slots, celebrates its 13th birthday. Slotland's dedication to keeping players happy has set the standard for the entire online casino industry.

$8500 in Birthday Casino Bonuses Available

At the end of the month a random draw will award $8500 in bonuses to 50 players that have deposited between October 11th and 30th. The top prize winner will receive $2000. $50 no-deposit bonuses for current and new players and up to 100% Birthday Builder match bonuses keep the birthday party going this week. Next week there’ll be 50% match bonuses during Birthday Happy Hours Friday and Saturday evenings.



“I remember the first time I played at Slotland,” said Jessica V. who’s been playing at the video slots and video poker site since the early days. “The internet was so new then – remember dial up?! I’d never seen anything like Slotland and I’d certainly never gambled online before. I just stumbled onto Slotland with a friend one night. Back then there were only a couple of simple games – not like what they have today – but it was the most fun either of us had ever had with the computer and, well, here I am thirteen years later still spinning the reels at Slotland!”

“A lot has changed in that time,” she recalled. “The internet is so much faster and the games are so elaborate now! Some things will never change though -- Slotland still has some of the sweetest customer service people anywhere!”

“You know what would be a great way to celebrate this milestone?” asked Slotland’s manager, Michael Hilary. “I’d love it if we had a big progressive jackpot winner right in the middle of the birthday party! In the time I’ve been with Slotland it’s only gotten this high a couple of times and to have a record-breaking jackpot this month would just be icing on the birthday cake!”

Slotland’s progressive jackpot is currently over $150,000 and hasn’t been hit since June. Since it’s usually won before it gets that high, and seldom goes more than six weeks without a major win, Hilary could very well get his birthday wish. The last big jackpot win was on the Witch’s Brew slot machine but since all slots games are tied to one jackpot the next winner could be playing any of Slotland’s 22 one-of-a-kind games.

Slotland is a no download casino. None of its instant-play casino games can be found at any other online casino but six can also be found at Slotland’s mobile casino.

New Monster Mayhem Slot Machine Adds to Halloween Madness at GrandeVegasCasino.com

As if all the casino bonuses they're offering during their Halloween Madness celebrations weren't enough,  Grande Vegas Casino has launched its new Monster Mayhem online slot machine and is giving players a bonus of up $100 just to try it out.

“I guess maybe we did go a bit crazy with bonuses this month,” said a Grande Vegas Casino spokesperson. “Blame it on Halloween!”

The new Monster Mayhem from RTG is a 50-line slot machine with a giant reptile, an enormous pink rabbit and a hulking orange cat stomping and crunching their way through the urban jungle.

The giant, animated city beasts “Smash” and “Crash” trigger the re-spin feature, with the reels spinning up to 10 times. During re-spins, prizes are multiplied by 1 in the first re-spin, by 2 in the second, by 3 in the third and so on. A “City” is the Scatter symbol. Scatter wins are added to line wins and multiplied by total bet.

Independent Minor and Major jackpots are triggered totally at random.

To claim their 100% (up to $100) casino bonus, players just enter the coupon code “MONSTERMAYHEM” when they make a deposit. This bonus is available only until October 21.

In more Halloween Madness at Grande Vegas, three lucky players will be randomly chosen at the end of the month to receive a cash-back casino bonus refunding everything they deposited in October. Many more will receive surprise bonuses when they check their casino message centers this month.

There are more than 300 casino games to choose from at Grande Vegas Casino, including slots, blackjack and roulette. Several slot machines with progressive jackpots over a million dollars are among the most popular. Someone playing Jackpot Pinatas could win nearly $1.7 million. On Aztec’s Millions the progressive jackpot is currently over $1.3 million. The Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree jackpot is just over a million and Cleopatra’s Gold is over $275K for a total of over $5.2 million in the jackpot pool.

New 'Chinatown' Slot Machine at WinADayCasino Gives Extra Playing Time with Free Spins and Two-Penny Bets

WinADayCasino.com has added another new game to its collection of one-of-a-kind online casino games. Chinatown is an exotic tribute to the bustling Chinese communities that have developed in major cities around the world with noodles, lotus blossoms and Ming vases spinning on its five reels. Chinatown is a 21 pay line video slot with an expanding Wild symbol and chances to win up to 15 free spins. Players can bet from $0.02 to $4.00 per pay line and win up to 1000 times their bet.

“Some of our latest games, like Fair Tycoon, have quite elaborate bonus games built into them,” observed WinADay manager Michael Hilary. “This one just has lots of good old fashioned free spins to give players more playing time for their money.”



Three or more Lantern symbols anywhere on Chinatown’s reels triggers five free spins. Four Lanterns wins ten free spins and five wins fifteen free spins. The total win from free spins is shown on a special display and is transferred to the player’s cash balance once all the free spins are played.

An animated Sword is the Wild symbol. It expands onto the entire reel and substitutes for any other symbol on a pay line. Unlike other slots where the Wild appears only on certain reels, this Wild symbol can appear on any of the five reels making the win even juicier.

This week a series of special slot tournaments celebrates the launch of the new game. Everyday the top five Chinatown tournament players will receive bonuses up to $150 from a total slots tournament prize pool of $2400. Until Sunday, everyone playing the new game is automatically entered in the tournament and listed on the leaderboard.

Chinatown celebrations continue on the 19th with a $19 no-deposit bonus. Top Bettor prizes up to $500 will be awarded next weekend and deposit bonuses up to 35% will be available October 22 – 23.

Like most of the slot games at WinADay, Chinatown is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot which is currently over $170,000. In Chinatown, spinning five Bronze Head symbols with a bet of at least $5 wins the progressive jackpot.

WinADay is a no download casino with 27 unique games including slots, video poker, Keno and Roulette. Like all of the casino games at this innovative online casino, Chinatown is available only at WinADayCasino.com.

Intertops Sportsbook Has Patriots a 9 Point Favorite Over the Jets in NFL Week 5

Intertops Sportsbook anticipates heavy NFL betting this weekend since several teams are under such intense pressure to perform in Week 5. Every dollar wagered when rivals New York Jets and New England Patriots come face to face this weekend to battle for position in the AFC East -- and on every other NFL game this season, for that matter -- gets one entry in Intertops’ free Super Bowl contest.

“The Jets-Patriots game is the one to watch this weekend, I think,” said an Intertops spokesperson. “The Patriots’ offense is great, but their defense may not be as strong. The Jets have disappointed so far and are now under pressure to perform.”

The top attraction in the NFC should be Green Bay’s visit to Atlanta. The defending Super Bowl champ has come roaring off the blocks this season with four straight wins, but Matt Ryan and the Falcons should prove to be a stern test, especially at the Georgia Dome.

Intertops has the Patriots a 9-point favorite over the Jets and gives the Packers 5.5 points over the Falcons.

Other NFL bets seeing a lot of action at Intertops Sportsbook are the Eagles-Bills and Lions-Bears games.

“The high expectations in Philadelphia have yet to be fulfilled and Buffalo is arguably the sensation of the season so far – it promises to be an intriguing contest.”

“After two big comebacks against the Vikings and the Cowboys, Detroit is favorite to win again at Chicago, but if Jay Cutler can finally gets the Bears offense going they could be quite a threat.”

Intertops Casino Begins Dishing Out $60,000 in Halloween Treats

Halloween is still a few weeks away but  Intertops Casino players have already started collecting their favorite candy bars in the popular online casino’s $60,000 Trick or Treat Halloween Scoreboard.

“There are no tricks at Intertops this Halloween – just treats!” said the casino manager. “All players have to do is play our games and they’re automatically on our scoreboard. Hundreds of players will win hundreds of dollars in casino bonuses, just by playing!”

Intertops Casino will reward 200 players in two weekly draws each week in October. Another $7,500 Jackpot (including $3,000 in cash prizes) will be shared among the top eighteen players at the end of the month. In total the casino will award $60,000 in casino bonuses during its Halloween celebrations.

Win or lose, Intertops Casino players automatically earn points whenever they play any of its more than 300 casino games. The top players are ranked in six levels (named, this month, after popular candy bars) based on their deposits, wins and losses. They have all month to accumulate points and prizes will be awarded November 3rd. Players can check the online Scoreboard any time to see their current points and where they rank.
“I’d play here just for the selection of games and the million dollar jackpots,” said one regular player. “But who doesn’t like getting free money in your account so frequently?! I’ve always found Intertops to be more generous with bonuses than most online casinos.”

At the end of the promotion there are Halloween Scoreboard final prizes in addition to the casino’s weekly Monday and Thursday draws. Standard wagering requirements for bonuses apply. Further information and current player rankings are available at: http://casinopromotions.intertops.eu/october2011

Badbeat.com Mentoring Leads to Success in €100K GTD for Paul Gunn

Attributing his improved performance to the mentoring he’s received over the last two months, Badbeat.com sponsored player Paul Gunn took second place and pocketed €16.6K in the €100K GTD at Royal Vegas Poker on Sunday night. If you're looking to step up your own game you'll be happy to know that Badbeat now makes poker training materials developed through their mentoring program available free online.

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players like Gunn since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play. It builds players’ poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play. Access to tutorials, the unique hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering a new account with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites. A new iPhone app now enables MyGame poker trainees to compare Report Cards with others enrolled in the program and even get advice and access training videos from their phone.

Gunn described Sunday’s tournament, and how the confidence he’s gained from Badbeat.com coaching has changed his game: “For the final hand the blinds are 50/100k and we’re pretty much level - I raised 200k - he pushes - I call instantly holding JJ - he turns over the 10c 8c, so I couldn’t be more pleased…until the flop comes Ac 2c Ad, Turn 7h and River 9c! I was gutted but at the same time chuffed with the result and knowing that I played the hand right.”

“I’ve learned to be pretty aggressive on the bubbles as people tighten up trying to cash more and floating in a lot of pots then bluffing. It worked a treat. Since I’ve been back with Badbeat.com these last two months I can’t give my mentor Jon Huckle any higher praise. He’s given me the confidence to believe in my game.”

“This is a great example of what a good player can do with the correct tournament selection,” said Paul’s Badbeat.com mentor Jon Huckle. “With some coaching he’s learned to control his daily spend on MTT’s and use his profit to buy into the larger weekly events rather than killing his bankroll. He’s managed to cash consistently and build his profit. It was only a matter of time until he hit big!”

“Paul has responded very well to our training and mentoring,” said Badbeat.com founder John Conroy. “We’re so pleased with his development so far that we’re rewarding him with a seat at the £300 Deepstack live event at DTD Nottingham next weekend!”

Frighteningly Generous Halloween Cash Back Bonuses at Grande Vegas Casino

Grande Vegas Casino is being frighteningly generous with casino bonuses during their Halloween Madness celebrations. Three lucky players will get every penny they deposit in October refunded!  They'll be randomly chosen at the end of October and will receive a no-deposit cash back casino bonus. Many more will receive surprise bonuses when they check their casino message centers.

“Wouldn’t it be fantastic to play for a whole month, have a great time, and then get back every penny you spent?!” said a Grande Vegas Casino spokesperson. “We can’t do that for everyone, of course, but we’ll sure be spreading a lot of cash around to a lot of players.”

“Let’s face it, lots of casinos have great games,” said a regular player at Grande Vegas Casino. “These days you expect that. It’s the nice touches that make the difference though, I think. Like being generous with bonuses like Grande Vegas is!”

Grande Vegas surprised players with notes in their message center about deposit bonuses and cash-back bonuses several times in September. They’re not saying when, but they will be making more surprise announcements in October including one for an add-on tournament. Since players have just 24 hours to respond to these messages they’re advised to continue checking their message center inboxes frequently.

“I love checking my messages to discover the ‘Bonus Fairy’ has sent me a nice surprise. That little extra money means I can have a little more Saturday afternoon fun time than I thought I would have! How great is that?! And the best part is, Grande Vegas is doing this all the time!”

There are more than 300 casino games to choose from at Grande Vegas Casino, including slots, blackjack and roulette. Several slot machines with progressive jackpots over a million dollars are among the most popular. Someone playing Jackpot Pinatas could win over $1.7 million. On Aztec’s Millions the progressive jackpot is currently over $1.2 million. The Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree jackpot is at $1.1 million and Cleopatra’s Gold is over a quarter million.

The Rules are Wrong and a Flush Should Beat Quads -- Nic Szeremeta Challenges Orthodox Thinking

Nic Szeremeta has always been willing to shake things up in the poker world. In 1999 he created Late Night Poker for Channel 4, the first poker show to use the hole card cam, and helped to kick-start the poker boom in the UK. But now it’s Szeremeta’s mission to point out to all the card rooms and casinos that spread strip-deck poker, live and online, that they’ve been shipping the pots in the wrong direction for years. This is because, in accordance with the immutable laws of mathematics, a flush should beat quads.

The Independent newspaper’s poker columnist sets out his argument in the new issue of Bluff Europe, out Monday 3rd October. “According to the principles upon which hand rankings are based, a flush should beat four-of-a-kind. The reason is that a flush occurs less frequently (can be made in fewer ways) than four-of-a-kind in a 32 card deck.

“This is not advanced maths; it is an easy sum,” says Nic. “As it’s more difficult to make a flush than to make four-of-a-kind (around 10% more difficult), it therefore follows that the holder of a flush against quads should have the pot pushed in his or her direction.”

Nic calls on regulators to change the rules: “Even more money is going to be pushed in the wrong direction unless both the Internet card rooms and the brick and mortar casinos who offer ace to 7 games change their hand rankings,” he says.

For the full explanation, check out the latest issue of Bluff Europe Magazine. Nic also outlines his theories in a video interview at www.bluffeurope.com.

Like the browser-based elements of the program, the MyGame app is specifically tailored to the individual’s own play. Main areas of their game are summarised in a simple report card but they can drill-down into detailed explanations and suggestions on how to improve.



“Your report card might suggest your grades are slipping in a specific area of play so clicking that option within the app takes you to more specific information, statistics, comments and suggestions on how to improve,” explains Badbeat Managing Director, John Conroy. “If you drill down further you can even watch videos on how to improve in these areas either by streaming them or downloading them for later viewing”.

“You can even share your report card right from your device using email or popular social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook. Players are already using it to brag to their friends while out-and-about.”

James Houghton, Badbeat.com Chief Technology Officer, explains that the company is constantly investing in technology and innovating in areas to help players improve at poker. "We have many exciting products either currently in development or on our technology road map for both existing and new platforms with the sole aim of helping players improve".

Intertops Sportsbook Picks Green Bay to Triumph Over Chicago Bears in Sunday's Re-play of Last Years NFC Championship Game

Sunday’s re-match of last season’s NFC Championship title game duel between the Bears and the Packers will be one of the hottest contests in Week 3 of the new NFL football season. Intertops bookies see 2-0 Green Bay as a 3.5 point favorite to win at Soldier Field.

In other key Week 3 battles Intertops favors the New Orleans Saints to use home-field advantage to get past the fast-improving Houston Texans, and expects the Pittsburgh Steelers to pile on the agony for the winless Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night.

“All eyes were on Aaron Rodgers in last year’s NFC Championship Game, and they will be again on Sunday,” said an Intertops Sportsbook spokesperson. “But let’s not forget that the Packers’ final step to the Super Bowl was only sealed when the Bears’ third-string quarterback, Caleb Hanie, was intercepted just 12 yards from a game-tying touchdown.”

Intertops will make one NFL football fan’s dream come true by sending them to Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis February 5th. Every dollar wagered on Intertops’ NFL bet offers during the Regular Season earns one entry into the end-of-season draw for an amazing Super Bowl XLVI prize package that includes accommodation at a top hotel, two reserved top tickets to the game, plus expenses for flights. For those who already have a hunch about who will win the Vince Lombardi Trophy next, Intertops has updated its Super Bowl odds following the Week 2 action.

Sure, a trip to Super Bowl XLVI would be great. But how about a $500 free bet?! If you wager at least $200 on every game day of the NFL Regular Season Intertops will give you a $500 free bet after the final week of play.

Intertops took the first online sports wager in 1996 and continues to be one of the most popular and trusted online sportsbooks in the world. Working hard to earn its reputation for courteous and efficient customer service and hassle-free deposits and withdrawals, Intertops is one of the world’s favorite online sportsbooks, casinos and poker rooms.

Pearls of Atlantis, Slotland's Latest One-of-a-Kind Online Slot Machine, Features Bonus Game

The legendary kingdom of Atlantis may be just a myth, but the fun – and chances to win big – are very real in Slotland’s new Pearls of Atlantis online slot machine. Pearls of Atlantis is a 5 wheel, 9 pay line slot machine with images of the legendary lost kingdom of Atlantis. It has a unique and exciting bonus game that adds extra playing time and gives players a chance to win up to five times the value of the Treasure Chest Fund they accumulate in the main game.

Players can try the new game for free. Until September 18th, a free $20 chip will automatically be deposited in their account when they log in and click on the new game. In addition, the top 30 players who play the Pearls of Atlantis this week will get a share of a special $2375 prize pool with the player who wagers the most on the game winning a $500 bonus.



“Slots players love spinning the reels and these reels have some of the most beautiful graphics our games developers have ever come up with” said Slotland manager Michael Hilary, “But we also like to give players an interesting and challenging bonus game to make the fun last even longer -- and multiply winnings!”

The mermaids, mermen, seahorses and sea monsters that adorn the wheels of this mythical slot machine conjure the undersea world of Atlantis but the most important symbol is the “Treasure Chest”. When three appear anywhere on the screen, players can receive a multiple of that spin’s bet added to their Treasure Chest Fund, a piece of the Wheel of Fortune, or one of the special gem pieces that boost players’ chances to multiply their winnings during the bonus game.

Collecting five pieces of the outer wheel triggers the Wheel of Fortune Bonus Game where a lucky spin wins up to five times the money previously accumulated in the Treasure Chest Fund.

Like all of their online slots, Pearls of Atlantis is tied to the casino’s progressive jackpot. Spinning five "Triton" symbols on a pay line when at least $10 has been bet wins the jackpot which is currently over $115,000.

Slotland.com is the world’s oldest and most trusted all slots and video poker site. It has a truly unique  collection of one-of-a-kind online slot machines that are ONLY available at Slotland. It's is a no download casino that now offers 22 slot machines and video poker games that require no installation or set-up. Just get straight to the fun.

Badbeat.com Mentoring Helps Anthony Goldfinch Take Down 10K and 3K GTDs This Week

I'm thinking Anthony 'NotFolding' Goldfinch is pretty happy to be staked and mentored by Badbeat.com this week.  He started the week by winning the 10K GTD Rebuy on Royal Vegas Sunday night, beating 185 other runners for a well deserved 3000 Euros. And then he won the 3K GTD on Poker Encore Tuesday night. As a sponsored player, Goldfinch has received extensive training from Badbeat’s mentors and his game shows significant improvement after just three months under their guidance.

“Before I joined Badbeat I was spewing buy ins away like it was Monopoly money and didn't seem to be on the right side of any run good,” said Goldfinch. “After breaking my loss limit, looking at my hands and realising how bad I was playing, I was told to take a break for a while until some of the coaches could re-evaluate where I was at.”

“The next month I still had the odd spew monkey moment but I made a slight profit under the guidance of my mentor and started to get a real feel for the games. I reviewed some hands with my mentor who spotted some easy mistakes and helped me rectify them. I was down around 10k until he influenced and channeled my game and now I’m feeling confident enough to set myself a target of 10k - 15k profit for this month.”

Goldfinch’s Badbeat.com poker mentor, Peter Hedlund, recognised Anthony’s potential from the start.

"When I started mentoring Anthony it was pretty obvious to me that he was a solid, winning player - but with pretty noticeable leaks and some poor results that didn't reflect his skill level,” said Hedlund. “During our mentoring sessions we've had very interesting theoretical discussions. That's one of the things that Badbeat can really provide - a deep, analytical environment for poker players that wish to be just a little bit better than the rest."

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that’s ready to step up their game.

£5,000 + £300 Event at Palm Beach Casino to Cap Genting's Autumn Mini-Festival

The September Series of Poker gets underway at London’s Palm Beach Casino from Sunday, 25th to Wednesday, 28th September, kicking off proceedings with a £500+£50 satellite to the £5000 + £300 High Roller event at 6pm. The satellite has a 60 player cap, so punters should book early to avoid disappointment.

Monday 26th sees a £300+£200 No Limit Hold'em six-max tournament, capped at 36 players, a deep-stack affair with a playable 20,000 chips and 60-minute levels. On the Tuesday will be a £1000+£80 Pot Limit Omaha event, with 40 min levels, 15,000 chips and a 48 player cap. Then, on Wednesday 28th, it’s the big one £ 5,000 + 300 No Limit Hold'em High Roller, with a generous 30,000 chips and 90 min levels, concluding the following day. All events, bar the satellite, kick off at 2pm.

Genting’s Palm Beach Casino, situated in Mayfair, has become the poker destination for London in recent years and a hub of the poker community, offering great cash games and tournaments around the clock. London Poker Manager at Genting, Simon Tomsett, said, “With the action coming to London and France this Autumn, this event is designed to give all visiting players the opportunity to play short field, high buy in tourneys. The Palm Beach looks forward to hosting major tourneys again once the current refurbishment is completed.”

Badbeat.com Director Encouraged Players to Develop a "Poker Mind" in His Lecture at Poker in the Park Last Weekend

Speaking to poker enthusiasts at Poker in the Park in London over the weekend, John Conroy, Managing Director at Badbeat.com, cautioned players against simply memorizing plays and encouraged them to instead develop a "poker mind".

Badbeat.com, the original and leading poker staking site, has been sponsoring and mentoring promising players since 2005. This summer it made its revolutionary new MyGame poker training system, modeled on that experience, available free to anyone that’s ready to step up their game.

“A lot of training out there is rubbish,” said Conroy. “Poker isn’t black and white. How you play your hand depends as much on whom else is at the table and how they’re playing as on the cards you’re dealt. The MyGame poker training system that we’ve built with our team of mentors is designed to change the way the player thinks. It’s all about building a poker mind.”

More players have more experience playing and it takes much more than learning plays from a book to be winner.

“Poker is about observation and deception. Observing your opponents behaviour , betting patterns , type of player, what they think of you etc. Deception is achieved by balancing the way you play hands and not always playing particular hands the same way.”

The MyGame poker training system is designed for any player that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play poker - all for free. It builds players’ poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play. Access to Badbeat’s tutorials, the unique poker hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites.

Comedy, Live Jazz and Magic Highlight Poker in the Park Entertainment Line-up

Alongside poker tournaments and training, there will be an exciting entertainment line-up on the main stage at Poker in the Park this weekend.

Among the items to go under Lucy’s hammer will be Barcelona and Arsenal shirts signed by the teams. The public is welcome to participate in the auction.

The British Poker Awards kicks off at 3pm on the main stage at Poker in the Park on 3rd September. The awards honour the movers and shakers on the British poker scene in a year when UK players have dominated on the international circuit. Winners are decided by members of the public and there are still a couple of days left to have your say. Visit www.thebritishpokerawards.com to vote.

As well as an accomplished stand-up comedian with three sell-out UK tours behind her, she is a regular face on TV and radio panel shows, including Have I Got News for You, Mock the Week and Argumental.

Grande Vegas Casino Players Finding Surprise Bonuses in Their Casino Message Center this Month

If you play casino games at Grande Vegas Casino -- you have mail! The popular online casino will be sending news about special offers such as no-deposit bonuses, cash-back bonuses, add-on tournaments and extra deposit bonuses three times in September. They haven't said when the messages will be sent though, and there will be no email or any other notification, so players would be wise to check their Message Center regularly.

“The special bonuses will be no surprise for our players since they’re used to getting lots of casino bonuses -- and we’ve told them there will be more this month,” said casino manager Robert Miller. “However, WHEN we send the messages will be a complete surprise, so we encourage everyone to keep an eye on their casino Message Center!”

The Message Center surprise bonuses begin September 6th. Since players will have only 24 hours to redeem them, it’s important to check frequently so as not to miss out on any free cash. As a sample of even bigger surprises to come, Miller sent a message to players today about a surprise bonus valid for one week. (Standard wagering requirements apply and are detailed on the casino’s website.)

Grande Vegas Casino offers more than 300 casino games including slots, blackjack and roulette. It launched its newest online slot machine earlier this month. “Glitz & Glamour” is a 5 reel, 25 pay line slot machine with a decadent “old Hollywood” theme. Players can earn up to 30 free games giving them lots of extra game-time.

Aztec’s Millions is over $1.2 million and the Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree has topped $1.1 million. Even Cleopatra’s Gold has a jackpot of over a quarter million.

Details of Grande Vegas’ Message Center bonuses and many other special offers are available on Promotions tab at GrandeVegasCasino.com.

The new system is designed for any player that wants to learn, win and transform the way they play poker - all for free. It builds player’s poker skills from the ground up by analysing actual play, spotting weaknesses and showing how to fix them. 

Access to Badbeat’s tutorials, the unique hands analysis tool, Report Cards, and Social gaming features are all free after registering with any of Badbeat’s partner poker sites. Currently the system can monitor their play at all of the major Poker sites including Party Poker, Betfair Poker,  PokerStars, Mansion Poker, Poker Encore, Royal Vegas Poker, Red Hot Poker, Poker Time, TGF Poker & Betsafe.

The “Paysafecard Bar” to Serve the Hordes at Europe’s Biggest Poker Festival

Paysafecard will be sponsoring the bar at Poker in the Park V, the world’s biggest free poker festival. The Paysafecard Bar will be a fully-stocked bar, serving beer, wine and spirits, and keeping the punters lubricated as they enjoy the full range of pro lectures, tuition, live poker, music and entertainment that Poker in the Park has to offer.

Paysafecard is an electronic payment method for predominantly online shopping and is based on a pre-pay system. Exchanging cash for Electronic Money (for use online) is facilitated through paysafecard in many countries worldwide.

Last year 20,000 poker fans came to Poker in the Park to celebrate all things poker and rub shoulders with the likes of Liv Boeree, Devilfish, Neil Channing and Evander Holyfield. Poker in the Park V takes place on 2nd and 3rd September at the new venue of Hanover Square, a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus.

“The bar is the social hub of Poker in the Park,” said organiser Michael Caselli, “And we’re thrilled that such an industry heavyweight as Paysafecard has come on board. With the main stage banging out music and entertainment and the Paysafecard Bar looking after our guests, we’ll have even more of a festival atmosphere this year.”
