Poker Legend Doyle Brunson To Attend APT Macau

The Asian Poker Tour (APT) has just announced that the Godfather of Poker, Doyle Brunson, will be attending the APT’s Macau tournament.

Brunson, probably the biggest name in the history of poker, has confirmed he will be playing at the APT Macau Main Event at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino starting on the 27th of August. He will be joined by his son, Todd Brunson, who is also a big-name player in the poker world.

The participation of the Brunsons further raises the standing of the Asian Poker Tour which also features other top professionals such as J.C. Tran, Nam Le, Quinn Do, APT Philippines champion David Saab and hundreds of other poker players from around the world.

Aside from playing in the main event at APT Macau, Doyle will also be on hand for a special event of his own – a book signing which is anticipated to attract huge interest. His books, especially Super System and Super System II, are considered the most authoritative sources on playing and winning at poker. Fans and players will be able to meet him and get their copies personally signed at APT Macau.

Doyle Brunson is a legendary American poker player who has played professionally for over fifty years. Nicknamed “Texas Dolly”, he has seen it all – from the early beginnings of poker in the United States to the sudden surge of the game’s popularity during the last decade. He is currently in a tie for second place on the all-time winners list with ten World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets – just one behind first-placer Phil Hellmuth. His live tournament winnings at present exceed USD $5,300,000.

Like Doyle, his son Todd is also a professional poker player. Todd, who did not learn the game until he was in law school, has been playing in both cash games and tournaments for the last two decades. Nicknamed “Darkhorse”, he also has a WSOP bracelet of his own, making the Brunsons the only father-son combination in history to have won WSOP bracelets. His live tournament winnings presently exceed USD $3,200,000.

APT Macau, the second leg of the 2008 Asian Poker Tour, will be held at the Galaxy StarWorld Hotel and Casino in Asia’s gambling mecca from August 27 to 31, 2008. The APT is home to Asia’s largest guaranteed prize pool with USD $1,500,000 in cash. The winner of APT Macau is guaranteed at least USD $500,000, which is sure to attract the top poker players from all over the world.

The buy-in for the Macau leg of this year’s APT is set at USD $5300 ($5000+$300). Players can also win seats to the event by qualifying through various online satellites being held all over the world on top poker rooms such as DafaPoker, Titan Poker, PartyPoker, and PKR.

Unique 3D Online Casino Launches Real-Money Games

New Lucky-Go-Round Slot Machine Added to Three Dimensional Games Hall

WinADay.com, the all-new 3D online casino from Slotland.com, has just launched a suite of real-money slot machines to add to the free games launched by the unique three dimensional online casino several months ago. A brand new slot machine – the Lucky-Go-Round – is new in both free and real-money Games Halls.

Animated customer service attendants will be on hand as usual to help players get to the new games from the 3D Games Hall. New players will be welcomed with a 100% deposit bonus up o $250.

“Our 3D casino environment, our animated customer service attendants, new games – these are all big steps for us!” said Martin Smith, the Pit Boss at WinADay.com. “We’ve been testing with our free games for several months now, preparing for the launch of our real-money slot machines and now we’re ready to celebrate!”

Many fruity players are loyal to their favourite machines but most like to try something new once in a while too.

“It’s different, that’s for sure!” said one regular Slotland.com player trying WinADay’s new Lucky-Go-Round slot machine. “When you enter that casino lobby, and the attendant greets you by name, that’s more like walking in to a real casino than just logging on to a website!”

WinADay.com games are based on the latest instant-play, no-download Flash technology that allows designers to incorporate the rich media content that today’s online game players expect. WinADay.com casino is alive with crisp graphics, fancy animations, cool sounds effects and background music.

All games are original, built using proprietary software, and only available at WinADay.com. “Wheeler Dealer” is a 3 reel, 8 payline slot machine and “Jack’s Show” is a video poker game based on the popular Jacks or Better video poker game. The latest game, introduced just in time for the launch of the real-money Games Hall, is “Lucky-Go-Round”, a whimsical carnival-style slot machine.

All three games are tied to the WinADay.com progressive jackpot. The new casino has just launched so the jackpot isn’t large yet. However, if it’s anything like the Slotland.com jackpot, it will be hit frequently for six figures!

M Resort, Spa and Casino property officials have announced a long-term agreement with Cantor Gaming, an affiliate of the global financial services company Cantor Fitzgerald, to provide cutting-edge mobile gaming technology to the casino floor and race and sports book of the $1 billion M Resort, Spa and Casino, which is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2009 on South Las Vegas Boulevard. While still subject to approval by the Nevada Gaming Commission and Nevada Control Board, the agreement stipulates that Cantor will be the exclusive provider of mobile gaming service to the M Resort and will operate the M Resort’s race and sports book.
Cantor Gaming will deploy a server-based gaming system, with full back-office infrastructure and an extensive portfolio of games. Mobile gaming will permit the play of familiar casino-style games, such as slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker, within the casino property, yet away from the confines of the traditional casino floor.

Utilizing Cantor Gaming’s advanced mobile gaming technology, guests at the M Resort will not only be able to play on hand-held devices in designated areas throughout the resort but will be able to bet in unique ways in the resort’s race and sports book.

“We want to provide our guests with the best overall gaming experience available. Cantor Gaming is an industry leader in the mobile gaming market and shares in our commitment to provide guests with an unparalleled gaming experience,” said Joseph A. Magliarditi, M Resort Executive Vice President and COO.

“We are excited to have entered into a long-term partnership with the M Resort, Spa and Casino,” said Lee Amaitis, Cantor Gaming President. “Cantor has long been committed to developing and delivering state-of-the-art technology to enhance the gaming experience. We are looking forward to bringing this advanced gaming technology to the M Resort.”

Cantor Gaming was granted the first ever license as a manufacturer, distributor and operator of mobile gaming systems by the Nevada Gaming Commission in May of 2006. Cantor was instrumental in the adoption of Nevada legislation permitting wireless gaming on hand-held, mobile devices in public areas of a resort casino.

CasinoRanking.com Donates a Year of Commissions to Slotland’s African Aid Project

Slotland concludes funding as Malawi community center now self-sustaining


Now that the school and community center that it built in Malawi is fully self-sustaining, online casino Slotland.com is concluding its funding. To date, the online slot machine and video poker site has donated more than $100,000 to construct the much needed facilities and train teachers and staff. As the local Project Team moves on to assist other villages another online gambling leader, CasinoRanking.com, has stepped forward to donate at least $10,000 toward ongoing projects.

For more than two years, the popular online slot machine and video poker web site, Slotland.com, provided all funding required to construct buildings and train local teachers in the remote and impoverished village of Juma, Malawi. The goal of the African aid project has always been that it should be self-sustaining and since the Project Team built a maize mill to generate ongoing revenue, the centre has required minimal outside funding.

But the work of the Project Team isn’t finished. The centre has become a teacher-training center for the region and continues to help other schools in the region get established and improve their teaching methods. The Team has also become involved in the construction of other self-sustaining community projects like a maize mill in Kantimbanye that now provides income for the school in Juma.

“We’ve learned that self-initiated projects are most likely to succeed,” said the Project Team Leader, David Leflar. “Where there’s a will, we will help them find a way!”

“The school that we’ve funded will have a long lasting benefit to the entire community. It provides opportunities and will help end the cycle of poverty in Malawi,” said Martin Smith of Slotland. “We’re very proud that one of our biggest affiliates, CasinoRanking.com, was impressed enough with the positive results of our project that they’re making a very substantial donation of their own.”

“The online casino business is a high profit industry,” said Antoine Tardif of CasinoRanking.com. “We should consider ourselves lucky to have the opportunity to help others who are not as fortunate.”

“I understand that the school is now completed,” said Tardif, “But Malawi is still one of the poorest nations on earth. If the money can go towards building wells or finding clean water that would be great too. Obviously we can trust this dedicated Project Team to decide how to best spend the money.”

The story of how the Project Team brought a whole village together to build the Umodzi-Mbame School is told on a fundraising website provided by Slotland: http://www.help-malawi-children-charity.org/. The site also explains how donations will be used by the African charity to assist neighbouring villages that have started similar projects on their own. Donations toward current and new projects can be made on the site through secure PayPal payment processing.

Two Progressive Jackpots Approaching a Million Dollars

Shopping Spree & Midlife Crisis Jackpots Are Both Waiting to Be Won at JackpotCapital.com


Not one but TWO progressive jackpots are nearing a million dollars each at Vegas-style online casino, JackpotCapital.com. Both the “Midlife Crisis” and “Shopping Spree” progressive jackpots are over $876,000 and climbing. Since it’s been some time since either of these mega jackpots was hit, many online slots players expect them to be won any day now.

Midlife Crisis and Shopping Spree are both five-reel, nine-payline slot machines but one is designed more for men and the other for women. Shopping Spree appeals to ladies with symbols on its wheels like flowers, purses, shoes, and lipstick and by awarding a special $100,000 New York City shopping spree prize when 5 diamond rings line up on a max payline. Midlife Crisis is very similar to Shopping Spree but with symbols associated with men’s midlife crises -- like Viagra, bald men, hairpieces, sports cars, and sexy women in bikinis -- and a special $100,00 sports car bonus prize, it is designed with men in mind.

“These are always two of our most popular online casino games,“ said Oliver Smith of JackpotCapital.com. “When a jackpot gets as high as these two are right now though, a lot more people play them, hoping to be the lucky one to spin the jackpot-winning spin.“

JackpotCapital.com’s last jackpot winner was an American that won nearly $15K while she was still playing with her free welcome bonus money.

JackpotCapital.com offers over 300 exciting games, each with state-of-the art graphics and sound to provide a unique gaming experience. Not surprisingly, the most popular games at JackpotCapital.com are the large selection of games tied to the site’s huge progressive jackpots. Just like the slot machines in Las Vegas that contribute to one big mega jackpot, everyone playing card games like Caribbean Hold´em, Caribbean Stud Poker, and Let ‘Em Ride, or spinning slot machines like Midlife Crisis, Shopping Spree, Light Speed, It’s Good to Be Bad, Crazy Dragon or The Shark are contributing to huge and growing progressive jackpots.

JackpotCapital.com is pleased to accept players from the United States. New customers are eligible to receive a 100% Match Up Bonus on their first deposit.

Cantor Gaming Signs Deal with Popular Cult Classic Brand, Heavy Metal Magazine

Cantor Gaming, operator of http://www.cantorcasino.com/, has signed an exclusive deal with the fantasy magazine, Heavy Metal, to produce a range of world-class, online casino games based on the characters in the magazine.

Cantor Gaming has teamed up with Kevin Eastman, owner of Heavy Metal magazine, to bring the characters and storylines to the online gaming market as part of its mission to provide its players with fresh, exciting games from leading brands around the world.

Manu Gambhir, Managing Director of Cantor Gaming said “Heavy Metal has long been a cult classic and our design teams immediately saw the ability to build innovative, cutting-edge casino games based on the brand. The games will be edgy, highly animated and deliver a completely new experience to our players.”

Kevin Eastman, co-creator of the hugely successful Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brand, owns and runs the American-licensed Heavy Metal, which derived and translated much of its early content from the original Métal Hurlant publication in France. The magazine is designed in a comic format, targeted at an adult audience and will be turned into a movie during 2010, following a deal between Mr Eastman and a leading studio.

Commenting on the agreement with Cantor Gaming, Mr Eastman said “I am delighted to have reached an agreement with Cantor Gaming to bring the unique characters and storylines to a new marketplace that I am sure will appreciate the vibrancy and originality of the brand.”

Heavy Metal, with its unique visual style and comic book storyline, is the latest addition to http://www.cantorcasino.com/ which is building up its portfolio of innovative offerings alongside traditional casino games such as blackjack, roulette and slots.

This innovation is typified by StatJack™ and Cantor Financial Odds. The former counts cards for the player, allows bets on the dealer’s hand and tells the player the best choice on each hand, whilst the latter brings betting on real-world movements in stock, currency and commodities into the casino world, where players can bet as little at £1 on what will happen in the next 5 minutes.

Mobile Casino Games Pioneer Offers Free Slot Machine Ringtones -- Free Money Available to Take Mobile Slots for a Spin

Slotland.com, one of the first online casinos to offer real-money slot machines on mobile phones, has produced two special ringtones for ardent slots players. Until the end of June, players that download the free ringtones are eligible to win cash prizes. For slots fans that haven’t tried any of Slotland’s six mobile slot machines yet, there’s even free money to take them for a spin.

There are two polyphonic ringtones currently available. One is kind of funky, the other has a more laid-back island sound. Both chant the slots player’s mantra “Spin, spin, win, win”. Just like Slotland’s unique mobile slot machine and video poker games, both ringtones are compatible with all popular phone models. Each is available in a variety of file formats including MP3 and MP4.

“Your ringtone says a lot about you, they’re quite a personal statement,” said John Lancelet, Slotland’s mobile casino games manager. “If you play slots you know you have to believe that the very next spin could be a win. We tried to capture that idea in the ringtone. If you’re an avid online slots player, this is for you!”

The free ringtones can be heard and downloaded online at http://www.slotland.com/mobile. Most players will want to download them directly to their phones though, and should go to wap.Slotland.com on their phone’s internet browser for simplest installation.

Until June 30th, mobile games players can enter to win one of ten $50 cash prizes by sending the full lyrics to the ringtones to support@slotland.com. Contest details are available at www.slotland.com/ringcontest.html.

Slotland.com now has six games available for mobile phones. The newest is Treasure Box, a unique slot machine similar to multi hand video poker games that has long been one of the most popular games on Slotland’s web site, especially with more experienced players. It’s the only slot machine that allows players to hold the reels after each spin in order to affect the result and get the best potential return. Slotland’s mobile games are described at www.Slotland.com/mobile and can be played at wap.slotland.com.

Like all their online games, all Slotland’s mobile games are tied into the same progressive jackpot, which is frequently hit for well over $100,000. After an $88K win in May, the jackpot is six figures again and, as always, could be won on the next spin.

Tonight's Euro Millions Jackpot is Big But Billion Euro Raffle Offers Better Odds Than UK National Lottery, Euro Millions or Powerball

Tonight's Euro Millions jackpot is large since it has rolled over from last week, so there will be a flood of last minute ticket sales before tonight's draw. Billionairio.com, a raffle-style numbers game, is challenging state monopolies on lotteries around the world by offering better odds and bigger prizes than the UK National Lottery, Euro Millions and Powerball.

Odds of winning the Euro Millions lottery jackpot are a staggering 1 in 76,275,360. Odds of winning the UK National Lottery jackpot prize are 1 in 13,983,816. By comparison the odds of winning €1,000,000 with Billionairio are 1 in 1 million and for an interim prize of €10,000,000 the odds are 1 in 10 million.

Even in the lower prize classes Billionairio ticket buyers have better odds of winning prizes comparable in size to state lotteries. Billionairio players have a 1 in 10,000 chance of winning €10,000 or more -- 58 times better than chances of winning a comparable prize in a Powerball lottery. Odds of winning €1,000,000 are almost 14 times better than the UK National Lottery or German 6 of 49 Lotto. Chances of winning Billionairio’s staggering billion-dollar jackpot are twice as good as winning the German 6 of 49 Lotto or Powerball jackpot.

“Do the math – which is the better investment?” asked Managing Director Joseph Crivici. “State lotteries have had a monopoly on lotteries for too long. Ticket buyers that shop around, though, will find that the big state lotteries give relatively unfavourable odds. That’s why Billionairio is catching on so quickly in the UK and all across Europe!”

Why do people buy state lottery tickets when the odds are so bad? Why do ticket sales skyrocket – making the odds of winning even worse – when jackpots get especially big?

“People don’t think about the odds. They just think about how great it would be to win millions,” said Crivici. “The bigger the prize, the more they want to win it. With Billionairio they can have it both ways – a billion Euro jackpot and better odds than any state lottery.”

Billionairio.com offers the biggest prize pool ever available anywhere and is the first game to offer a single player the opportunity to win a billion Euros. The prize pool linearly increases with every ticket purchased. Each ticket is eligible for as many as five separate cash prizes from €1000 to the incredible €1,000,000,000 final jackpot. Billionairio.com tickets are available for €25 each (about £20) only at Billionairio.com.

“Customers of Cantor Poker can expect to benefit from the highest standards of customer service and one of the most trusted brands, given our strong track record in serving customers in financial, sports and gaming marketplaces, “ he added.

Although Cantor is best known as one of the leading financial brokerage firms in the world, its move into the gaming sector in recent years highlights the opportunity to transfer decades of experience in safe, secure transaction and payment processing, using cutting-edge technology, to the rapidly expanding online gaming markets.

Backgammon Masters Raises Monetary Aid to Chinese Earthquake Survivors

BackgammonMasters.com is raising donations to help the survivors of the recent Chinese earthquake. For every $1 donated by members of the online Blackjack, Poker and Backgammon community, Backgammon Masters will donate $5.

All month long, players can donate by buying in to Blackjack and Backgammon tournaments at rates from $4.50 to $200. In addition, players can compete in tournaments that pledge 100% of the prize money to UNICEF, the charitable organization aiding child survivors of the earthquake. These tournaments are ongoing throughout the month. Players can also donate earnings from other online games by depositing into the special donations account set up at the BackgammonMasters.com cashier.

Backgammon Masters isn’t the only online gaming company taking up the cause, but they do offer the highest match rate. When questioned about why their donation was so high, especially in comparison to the billion-dollar company PokerStars’ $1-to-$1 donation, the Backgammon Masters CEO responded, “I’m not really sure why they [PokerStars] aren’t investing more in their donation, but it doesn’t really matter as long as they are doing something to help and raise awareness. We feel that it is important to encourage charitable gaming and to make this type of community outreach in the online casino world a common occurrence. Some people may be surprised that we are doing this, but we’ve always known that casino owners and players have huge hearts and pockets.”

In addition to their desire to reach out to the earthquake victims, Backgammon Masters’ other connections to China have encouraged its generous donations. They offer a Chinese dice game (also called Perudo) on their website and much of their website traffic comes from the Asian Market.

First Online Sportsbook Celebrates Euro 2008 with Full Range of Odds and Props

Intertops favours Germany to take the title but doubts the Pope will sing about it
This month, soccer fans around the world are focused on Austria and Switzerland – hosts of Euro 2008, the biggest soccer event of the year. Those that want to put a little money on the action will find a full range of odds and props at Intertops.com, the world’s first online sportsbetting company.

Since it was founded 25 years ago, Intertops has covered six Euro tournaments and, with their widest offer of bets ever, has odds on every game in this year’s month-long tournament that begins Saturday.

Two years after missing out on the World Cup title in its own country, Germany is favoured to claim the Euro title. Intertops.com/Sportsbook has odds on who will win the final match as well as every quarter- and semi-final match leading up to it. Intertops.com also has odds on everything from whether or not it will rain in Vienna the day of the final to whether or not Germans will get a tax free day should their team win the title.

Will German Pope Benedict sing “We Are the Champions” if Germany beats Italy in the final? With odds at +66500, Intertops.com oddsmakers would appear to doubt it.

“The most popular bet is who will win the final,” said Michl Posch of Intertops.com. “But we’re seeing a lot of action on the games leading up to the final as well. We’ve got so many betting propositions for each of those games – who’ll score the first goal, who’ll lead at the half, which player will score the first goal…”

Going into the tournament, the bookmakers at Intertops.com are hoping for a final pairing of Austria vs 2004 champ Greece. Their worst-case scenario would be a final showdown between Germany and Italy with the Germans winning after a penalty shootout.

Anyone looking for that extra kick will appreciate Intertops’ wide range of LIVE bet offers on every game. Customers can enjoy the game on their TV and place their wagers until shortly before the final whistle. The live odds change according to the action on the field.

Experienced bettors are particularly fond of parlay bets, which allow greater winnings by combining the odds for single wagers and boosting the total odds. Intertops has “Germany to win Euro 2008 and Patriots to win Super Bowl XLIII” at +1700. And the book is covering the US elections as well with bets like "Spain to win Euro 2008 and Obama to become president” at +900.
“We expect the total wagering turnover during Euro 2008 to be equivalent to our turnover for the 2006 World Cup where twice as many games were played,” said Posch. “Soccer fans get extremely excited about this championship and they love to wager on it.”

Dozens of Euro 2008 odds and props are posted in American, Decimal and Fractional formats at Intertops.com/Sportsbook.

New Player Hits Jackpot Before Even Making a Deposit

American Wins Nearly $15K on Bets Made with Free Bonus Money

A new player at JackpotCapital.com online casino has won a large progressive jackpot without wagering a penny of her own money. She won the $14,593 progressive jackpot after placing a bet using the free bonus money she’d received as a new player.

“Most online casinos require you to wager many times the amount of your progressive jackpot winnings made from free bonus money before you can withdraw them, but we don’t,” said JackpotCapital.com CEO Oliver Smith “We don’t let our players wait long for their winnings either. Like all our winners, this jackpot winner received her money immediately. And as well we do not deduct the amount of the free bonus before payout, what you will find almost everywhere else."

The lucky American player was enjoying one of her first games of Caribbean Stud when she hit the jackpot.

“I guess you’d have to call it beginner’s luck,” said Kerri T. “I hadn’t even made a deposit to my account – all it had in it was the free $25 they’d given me to get started. Next thing I knew I was withdrawing nearly fifteen grand!”

JackpotCapital.com offers more than 300 online casino games provided by Real Time Gaming, one of the world’s top casino software developers. The Caribbean Stud jackpot network is one of 12 progressive jackpots offered to JackpotCapital.com players. "Shopping Spree", currently the biggest jackpot, is waiting to pay nearly $900,000 to the next lucky winner.

JackpotCapital.com is pleased to welcome players from the United States. New customers receive a 100% Match Up Bonus on their first deposit.

Slotland’s New Slotris Slot Machine is Reminiscent of Iconic Falling-Blocks Video Game

Slotland.com’s new Tetris-like online slot machine is two games in one, both inspired by the popular game of falling-blocks considered by some to be the best video game ever. The wheels on Slotland’s new Slotris online slot machine spin the familiar multi-coloured cubes and the same squares fall into place on the grid of the adjacent bonus game puzzle -- just like the video game that has mesmerized millions for decades.

There are two ways to win Slotland’s new game, Slotris. There’s a traditional three-wheel single payline slot line with spinning symbols –coloured blocks rather than cherries. When three matching symbols line up, the player wins.

But the coloured boxes don’t just spin on the slot machine wheels. Afterward, the same symbols fall into place in the grid beside the slot machine. Players can win this bonus game by guiding the blocks into place. Every solid-colour line multiplies the player’s bet and ten lines wins the jackpot.

“I’ve wasted a lot of hours playing Tetris over the years,” said a player trying the new game. “But there was never any money on it! A little wager makes it a lot more fun!”

Like all Slotland online slots and video poker games, Slotris is tied to the Slotland progressive jackpot – known for being frequently hit for amounts well over $100,000. Recently it was hit for almost $200,000 and a $116,332 jackpot was just won in December by TRILIGHT33.

The new Slotris game makes 10 unique slot machines and video poker games for this pioneering online entertainment site. Six of the most popular web games are also available on mobile phones.

“It’s a lot of work to keep developing completely new, unique games,” said Martin Smith of Slotland.com. “Our games are all original though. You won’t see them anywhere else.”

Slotland has earned the trust of players all over the world and takes pride in their reputation for excellent customer service and quick and easy withdrawals of winnings.

Intertops Gets an A for Customer Service from Leading Sportsbook Watchdog for Quick Response to NBA Betting Questions

After an anonymous test, Intertops.com/Sportsbook has been recognized by a leading sportsbook watchdog for its quick and thorough answers to customers’ online betting questions. Looking ahead to this weekend’s NBA Finals, SportsbettingReview.com asked several prominent sportsbooks about NBA overnight lines. Intertops.com was the first to respond and gave the most thorough and informative answers.

In an anonymous customer email inquiry, SBR asked sportsbooks a simple question: Do you have overnight lines on the NBA playoffs? While many of those contacted took days to answer, replied with incomplete answers or – amazingly – didn’t bother replying at all, Intertops.com’s Customer Service replied within 30 minutes with a very positive and complete answer.

Yes, Intertops offers overnight lines on the NBA Finals. During the play-offs the maximum stake is increased from US$275 to US$550. The Totals and the Straight up or the Totals and the Spread can be parlayed on NBA games.

„We know that sports bettors trust the information and advice they get from SBR, so we’ve always been proud of our overall B+ rating there„ said Michl Posch of Intertops.com. „Since providing the best possible customer service is such a high priority with us, we’re particularly proud to have received the highest score in this test.“

This week, during the NBA Finals, sports bettors are focused on American basketball and Intertops has a full range of odds and props on both the Western Conference series between the LA Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs and the Eastern Conference where the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons are battling it out.

Intertops.com, this year celebrating its 25th anniversary, took the very first online sports bet in 1996 and has been one of the world’s most popular and trusted online casinos, sportsbooks and poker rooms ever since. As always, Intertops welcomes American players to their online casino, poker room and sportsbook.
