Real Profits from Free Blackjack

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:35:43 GMT

Making real profits from free blackjack games might sound a tad far-fetched, but it is something that anyone reading these words can do – starting today. Many online blackjack players spend a great deal of time improving their decision-making skills in an effort to minimise the edge that the house has over them, and that is commendable, but just as many completely overlook a much more obvious – and easier - way to make money from their favourite game.

Video Poker Tournaments

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:29:37 GMT

Video Poker tournaments aren’t nearly as common as tournaments for other online casino games, but they do exist and if you are fortunate enough to come across one it could be well worth taking part in. Since video poker is a player-versus-machine endeavour, video poker tournaments tend to be structured in much the same way as online slots tournaments, which means that winners are usually determined either by their wagering activity or by how much profit they can make from an initial chip stack within a certain period of time.

St Patricks Day Bonus at Virgin Casino

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:09:11 GMT

Paddy Power Instant Casino players are a lucky bunch because this week they can win free bets for the Cheltenham Festival 2010.

Cheltenham Festival 2010 Betting

Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:04:49 GMT

The 2010 Cheltenham Festival takes place next week (16-19 March) at the Cheltenham Festival racecourse and the Ante Post betting market action is really heating up. Whether you’re a sports betting fan who is only interested in the big feature races such as the Cheltenham Gold Cup, or a serious horse racing enthusiast who intends to take a betting interest in all of the festival races, it makes sense to take a look at the prices currently available – and maybe grab yourself the odds that you think offer you the best value for money.

Live Craps Online

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:24:45 GMT

Online casino players who like to indulge in a game of craps now and again often complain that although live versions of blackjack, roulette and baccarat are widely available online, live craps games cannot be found anywhere. Whilst such an absence might seem strange to the casual craps player, more experienced players generally aren’t surprised by the lack of live craps at all. Why? Because craps is one of the few games that players would find hard to trust if it were offered as a live game in its current form.

Slots Jackpots Soar at PartyCasino

Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:59:34 GMT

At the time of writing there is over $3,965,300 up for grabs across a wide range of games, and there are plenty of very popular slots titles among them.

Tue, 9 Mar 2010 10:20:42 GMT

Weekend Race events at Paddy Power Casino give online blackjack players the chance to win an extra £1,000 by playing their favourite game on selected weekends. The Weekend Race events aren’t exclusive to blackjack players (roulette players can take part too) so those of you who would get a thrill out of beating your fellow players as well as the dealer himself might want to take a closer look at these opportunities.

Win a trip to Space with InterCasino

Mon, 8 Mar 2010 11:14:17 GMT

As far as online casino promotions are concerned, giving players the chance to win a trip to space has to be one of the biggest, and that’s exactly what InterCasino is offering in a Win a trip to Space promotion that runs until Sunday 30 May. There is more than $500,000 prizes up for grabs in total, so even if you don’t manage to win yourself a unique experience of weightlessness – and some incredible views of your home planet from space – you could still win yourself a pile of cash or a more down-to-earth trip of a lifetime.

England v Egypt Betting

Wed, 3 Mar 2010 10:36:52 GMT

Football betting fans across the country will be glued to their television screens this evening as England take on Egypt. The England team has been in the headlines quite a lot over the last week or so after Wayne Bridge decided to make himself unavailable for selection for the World Cup, but sporting purists will be hoping that the headlines tomorrow are of a more celebratory nature. But what are the odds of that happening?

Tue, 2 Mar 2010 10:50:56 GMT

Formula 1 2010 Betting

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 09:38:30 GMT

The Formula 1 2010 season gets underway next month with the Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix scheduled for Sunday 14 March, and F1 fans everywhere will be keen to see how the return of Michael Schumacher to the sport after a three year absence shakes things up. The 2009 season was eventful, but for many of the wrong reasons, with rule changes and budget restrictions grabbing just as many headlines as the eventual success of Jenson Button. Button has since left the Brawn team to join McLaren alongside Lewis Hamilton, and the 2010 season is the first since 1993 to forbid refuelling stops, so how are the sports betting sites pricing things up in this ever-changing climate?

Fruit Medley at PartyCasino

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:57:24 GMT

A Fruit Medley promotion currently running at Party Casino gives online casino players the chance to win a host of prizes. The prizes that can be won depend on your status at the casino, so if you are a Bronze, Silver or Gold player you can win anything from 10 PartyPoints to $100 in cash. If you are a Palladium Lounge member then the prizes range from 50 PartyPoints to $1,000 in cash.

Countdown to InterCasino Relaunch

Mon, 22 Feb 2010 11:31:56 GMT

The countdown to a massive InterCasino relaunch has started, and we can tell you that the big re-launch date to mark in your diary is Monday 1 March. InterCasino has been one of the most popular online casinos for years (it was actually the first in the world), but it isn’t one that has ever been content to sit on its laurels. Ever since the casino was first launched, InterCasino has continued to improve the service it offers players, and barely a month has gone by without a new game or promotion being introduced. But as impressive as all of that has been, it looks like the best is yet to come…

Daily Happy Hours at Littlewoods Casino

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 09:27:43 GMT

Littlewoods Casino is staging a Happy Hour every day from now until Wednesday 24 February. Each Happy Hour gives online casino players the chance to claim a bonus of up to £50, and players can choose to participate in just one daily Happy Hour or in several, in which case they have the chance to claim several bonuses! The Happy Hour itself runs from 7pm until 8pm GMT each day, so those who fancy spending a few evenings at the Littlewoods Casino now have a great excuse for doing so!

Slotblox

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:32:19 GMT

Slotblox is a new online slots game at Virgin Casino that will bring back memories for anyone who spent time playing a certain block-matching arcade game at any point over the 25 years. Instead of awarding prizes according to symbols that are matched on reels, Slotblox pays prizes for complete rows of blocks, and the more rows that are completed, the more you stand to win.

Live Blackjack Prize Draw at Ladbrokes Casino

Tue, 16 Feb 2010 11:02:48 GMT

Last month we brought you news that live blackjack had been introduced to Ladbrokes Casino (see Live Dealer Blackjack at Ladbrokes Casino), and now we can tell you that live blackjack players have a chance to win a share of £400 each day in a special prize draw. The prize draw will take place every day until Sunday 28 February and each one awards a cash prize to 20 players, so if you like live blackjack you have plenty of chances to boost your bankroll at the casino’s expense this month.

Betting on Lottery Games

Mon, 15 Feb 2010 13:28:57 GMT

Lottery games are always making headlines, and the EuroMillions game is the latest one to do so after two tickets – one in Britain and one in Spain – shared a jackpot worth around £112 million on Friday 12 February. The odds of matching all of the numbers required to win a EuroMillions jackpot are 1 in 76,275,360, so it isn’t something that most people will experience in this lifetime. That said, you can increase your chances of making money from lottery games by betting on them with a sports betting site rather than playing them in the traditional manner.

New Casino Calendar at PartyCasino

Fri, 12 Feb 2010 09:45:58 GMT

Online casino players who haven’t visited PartyCasino for a while should be aware that a new Casino Calendar feature now allows players to quickly identify the most important events and promotions that are scheduled to take place in any given month. Keeping abreast of the latest promotions, tournaments and competitions is something that can help any casino player to boost his or her bankroll, but it usually requires checking in with your chosen casino every couple of days to see if there have been any new announcements. The Casino Calendar renders that chore obsolete, and makes it easier than ever to keep up with the latest PartyCasino offers.

Five Star Bonus at Bet365 Casino

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 10:11:09 GMT

Online casino players who like to get the maximum amount of gaming action for their buck should note that a Five Star Bonus promotion will be running at Bet365 Casino from Sunday 14 February until Tuesday 23 February. The Five Star Bonus allows you to claim up to £5,000 worth of bonus cash, so it will be just as appealing to high rollers is it will to the most casual of casino game players.

InterCasino Online Slots Tournaments

Tue, 9 Feb 2010 09:19:15 GMT

Online slots players often complain that there are not as many slots tournaments around as they would like, and certainly not as many as online blackjack players get to enjoy. Those who have a desire for more online slots tournaments will therefore be pleased to learn that three will be taking place at InterCasino between now and the end of the month, and each one gives players a chance to win a top prize of $100.

Euro 2012 Football Betting

Mon, 8 Feb 2010 11:51:48 GMT

The Euro 2012 draw has taken place, and England had such a good draw that online sports betting sites make them the odds-on favourite to win Group G. Paddy Power have England as the 2/5 favourites in Group G, with Switzerland at 9/2, Bulgaria at 11/2, Wales at 16/1 and Montenegro at 40/1. In one way it is disappointing that Wales ended up being drawn in the same group as England, but there is little doubt that the draw gives England a fantastic chance of making good progress in the tournament – the team is offered as the 7/1 second favourite to win Euro 2012 outright.

Positive Results for PartyGaming

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 10:04:46 GMT

PartyGaming, the group that operates PartyCasino, PartyPoker and several other high-profile online gambling sites, has released its results for the fourth quarter of 2009, and they are encouragingly positive. PartyGaming, like other online gambling businesses, had been hit hard by the 2006 ban on US players, but the group posted figures showing that growth had risen 32% on the previous year and an impressive 17% on the previous quarter.

New Slots Coming to 32Red Casino

Wed, 3 Feb 2010 09:26:00 GMT

Three new online slots games will be appearing at the 32Red Casino during the month of February, and lady gamers out there will be interested to note that one of them has a romantic theme which will tie in nicely with Valentines Day on the 14th. The gents among you might also be interested in romance, but you are more likely to want to have a go at the other two games that have sporting themes.

Ladbrokes Casino Free Cash Offer

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 11:24:37 GMT

Many online casinos across the globe will offer their patrons some form of free money; usually this comes in the form of free spins on slots or by way of a welcome bonus activated when a deposit has been made. The Ladbrokes Casino free cash offer blows many of the other welcome bonuses out of the proverbial water. Only available to new players registering their first account at Ladbrokes Casino the site offers a €/£50 no deposit required bonus from now until 18th April 2010.

Blackjack Tournament at InterCasino

Tue, 2 Feb 2010 09:29:21 GMT

Online blackjack players who like the idea of winning up to $100 from a tournament entry fee of just $10 should take a look at the blackjack tournament that is running at InterCasino until Sunday 7 February. The tournament is 30 minutes long and gives you $500 of tournament chips to play with, so you should feel free to use whatever money management strategy you think will enable you to turn that $500 into something much bigger by the end of that time.

Andy Murray Tennis Betting

Mon, 1 Feb 2010 10:35:01 GMT

Millions of tennis and sports betting fans around the world watched the Australian Open final on Sunday, where Roger Federer beat Andy Murray in straight sets (6-3, 6-4, 7-6) to notch up his sixteenth Grand Slam title. Andy was hoping to become the first male British player to win a Grand Slam event in 74 years, but the bookmakers had the result pegged correctly right from the start, and those who had bet on Federer never really had much to worry about. However, Andy put in a strong performance against the world number one and the bookies are now offering a range of Andy Murray tennis betting markets that allow bettors to try and predict how well – or otherwise – the Scottish player will fare in the coming months.

Apple iPad and Online Gambling

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 12:24:47 GMT

Steve Jobs introduced the new Apple iPad to the world yesterday, and not only does it look like the best gadget we’ve seen since the iPhone and iPod Touch, we also think that it will have a big impact on the world of online gambling. For those of you who have not yet seen the Apple iPad device, we can perhaps best describe it as a large iPod Touch – a machine that Steve Jobs described as being “So much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone.”

Reel Race Slots Tournament

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:27:01 GMT

Online slots players who have some time on their hands this Saturday 30 January might want to pay a visit to Bet365 Casino, where a Reel Race slots tournament will be running from 00:00 until 23:59 GMT. The Reel Race will be paying out more than 200 prizes with a total value of £5,000, and all you have to do to give yourself a chance of winning is play your favourite online slots games.

Election Betting Warming Up

Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:56:49 GMT

It’s General Election year in the UK, and although the chances are high that the election itself won’t take place for a few more months, the interest in election betting is already warming up. Over at the Paddy Power online sports betting site there are quite a few election markets that the politically minded bettor can get involved in, so for those who might like to obtain some early odds about their own opinion, here are the highlights that are most likely to be of interest…

Chase to Win at Paddy Power Casino

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:56:15 GMT

A brand new Chase to Win promotion at Paddy Power Casino promises to be the biggest ever, and gives online casino players the chance to win their share of £200,000 over the next three months. Regular readers will know that Paddy Power has previously staged several ‘Race to Win’ promotions and Chase to Win works in a very similar way to its predecessors – the big differences are that Chase to Win has a lot more prize money and a unique horse racing theme.

Live Dealer Blackjack at Ladbrokes Casino

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 09:24:38 GMT

A brand new Live Dealer Blackjack game can now be played at Ladbrokes Casino, giving online blackjack players the chance to immerse themselves in the most realistic blackjack experience currently possible. The Live Dealer Blackjack game has been developed by Microgaming, and whilst some live blackjack games involve lots of waiting around until a free seat becomes available at the table, the new Microgaming title boasts Bet Behind and Waiting List features that enable players to enjoy the live blackjack action with as little delay as possible.

Calvin Ayre Haiti Challenge

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 10:48:25 GMT

Bodog founder and business magnate Calvin Ayre has issued a challenge to the online gambling industry to raise as much money as possible to support the people of Haiti. The recent earthquake in Haiti has cost hundreds of thousands of lives, and the Calvin Ayre Foundation responded immediately by sending Oxfam £10,000 to help provide some relief. However, Calvin has gone a lot further than that by promising to match any donation to Oxfam by anyone in the online gambling industry, up to a maximum of $1,000,000.

Microgaming Launches Robot Butler

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 11:12:51 GMT

Microgaming has announced the launch of Robot Butler. Although that might sound like some kind of automated servant that will save you from ever having to wash your car again, it is in fact the title of a brand new five reel video slots game. Robot Butler is one of two new online slots games that Microgaming has released as it prepares to exhibit its wares at the International Gaming Expo (IGE) in London next week (26-28 January), and comes hot on the heels of the Hellboy slots game that recently appeared at online casinos which use Microgaming technology.

New Ladbrokes Sportsbook Site

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 10:35:07 GMT

A new Ladbrokes Sportsbook site has been launched with the aim of making things cleaner, slicker and easier to use for sports betting fans, and it does the job in great style. The best way to appreciate the changes at Ladbrokes is to pay a visit to the sportsbook site yourself , but we can certainly give you some idea of what lies in store by pointing out just a few of the key changes that have taken place…

UK Online Gambling Shake-Up

Thu, 14 Jan 2010 11:27:14 GMT

The UK online gambling industry is in for a major shake-up if proposals recently announced by Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe are approved. The proposals call for companies that want to offer online gambling services to UK clients to obtain a UK-specific licence from the Gambling Commission. This means that organisations that are currently based outside the UK, whether for taxation purposes or otherwise, would need to jump through a number of administrative hoops just so that they can continue doing what they are currently doing.

Sit and Go Blackjack at Ladbrokes Casino

Wed, 13 Jan 2010 08:56:29 GMT

Online blackjack players who want to experience the excitement and profit potential of blackjack tournaments, but don’t want to wait for a scheduled start time, should take a look at the Sit and Go Blackjack tournaments at Ladbrokes Casino. These work in a similar way to Sit and Go poker games, so as soon as the required number of players have registered the tournament starts running. Players can therefore get their blackjack tournament kicks ‘on demand’, and make some good money if they turn out to be successful.

Snow Boosts Online Casino Gambling

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:26:24 GMT

Online casinos are reporting that there has been a surge in memberships and gaming turnover in recent days and weeks, and the atrocious weather conditions that have hit the UK and other European countries are being cited as the main reason for this boost. Public transport disruptions have prevented millions of people from getting to work, and so it is no surprise that many individuals have elected to entertain themselves by visiting online casinos, poker rooms, sportsbooks and bingo sites.

Gold Rally Winner at Bet365 Casino

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 10:53:07 GMT

Bet365 Casino has released some information about a player who scooped a Gold Rally online slots jackpot of €448,875 on Thursday 17 December, 2009. The winner, who has been referred to as Mr P, lives in Greece, and his success occurred just before 4pm UK time. Many readers might assume that Mr P had been trying his luck for years, maybe even decades, before finally managing to land a massive prize like this, but that wasn’t the case at all…

Mansion Casino Money Machine

Thu, 7 Jan 2010 11:06:21 GMT

A Mansion Casino Money Machine promotion is currently giving online casino players a chance to turn their January gaming into free cash. Up to $2,000 per player is up for grabs and all you have to do to get your hands on some of all of it is play at the Mansion Casino for at least ten days before the end of the month. The more you play, the more you can withdraw from the Money Machine!

Decimal Odds to Replace Fractions

Wed, 6 Jan 2010 09:06:09 GMT

Decimal odds could soon replace their fractional counterparts in the world of British horse racing if one of the key recommendations made by the recently published Racing for Change report is implemented. Seasoned horse racing bettors will know that fractional odds such as 11/8, 6/4 and 5/2 have been used by bookmakers for many decades, but a trial of decimal odds at racecourses in the spring could mean that the days of fractional odds are well and truly numbered.

Hellboy Slots at 32Red Casino

Tue, 5 Jan 2010 08:57:45 GMT

Hellboy, the demonic comic book character who has also inspired two movies (Hellboy and Hellboy II: The Golden Army) will be appearing at 32Red Casino this month thanks to a new Hellboy slots game.

Early FA Cup Exit for Man Utd

Mon, 4 Jan 2010 11:09:43 GMT

Manchester United are out of the FA Cup competition after Leeds United beat Alex Ferguson’s team by 1-0 in a third round match on Sunday 3 January. The shock defeat has of course made an impact on the sports betting markets related to the FA Cup, so in today’s article we will take a look at how things stand after the giant-slaying that is making headlines throughout the world of football.

2009 End of Year Review

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 11:56:26 GMT

2009 has been a very eventful year for the gambling world, so what better way to see out the old and bring in the new than with a 2009 End of Year Review? Obviously we can’t condense 365 days of betting news into a single article, but we can review 2009 on a month by month basis and pick out some of the most notable stories that we have reported on. Here then, is the best (and worst) of 2009…

Why Blackjack is Here to Stay

Wed, 30 Dec 2009 09:24:50 GMT

The online casino industry releases new games at a frenetic pace, and there isn’t a month that goes by without the arrival of at least a few brand new titles being announced. Despite this, the traditional game of Blackjack continues to be very popular, which is pretty impressive for a game that offers a top payout of 3 to 2! So why exactly is blackjack so popular in this age of progressive jackpots, and why can online casino players be confident that blackjack is here to stay?

Life is Like a Box of Choc Slots

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 09:03:47 GMT

The launch of new online slots games that are based on popular television, movie and comic-book characters is nothing new, but one recent launch from leading developer CryptoLogic might raise a few eyebrows, because the character in question is Forrest Gump. Movie fans who have seen the Paramount Pictures film of the same name will realise that Forrest (played by Tom Hanks) was no traditional hero, and so the decision to based an online slots game on his adventures is a tad surprising to say the least.

New Year Novelty Markets

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:12:08 GMT

Now that Christmas has been and gone for another year, the next big event of 2009 for most people will be the New Years Eve celebrations on Thursday 31 December. These tend to be fairly traditional events, involving good food, time with friends and a celebratory drink or two. Another great tradition that many of you will be in the habit of enjoying is placing a New Year novelty bet!

Christmas Casino Jackpots

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 08:52:01 GMT

Christmas is finally upon us, but the great thing about online casinos is that they don’t close their doors for even one hour during the festive period. Instead, they continue to offer gaming fun 24 hours a day, even on Christmas Day itself. This will be very handy for those who find themselves at a loose end when the rest of the family is watching the latest television special, or indeed for those who just fancy a break from the visiting relatives! If you belong to either of those groups then here’s a quick rundown of some of the best online casino jackpots that you can currently play for...

Schumacher to Return to Formula 1?

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 09:15:59 GMT

The website of German newspaper (bild.de) has reported that Michael Schumacher has agreed to come out of retirement to join Mercedes team for the 2010 Formula 1 season. At the time of writing, no confirmation (or, interestingly, denial) has yet been made by either Schumacher or Mercedes, but our good friends at Paddy Power are covering all bases by offering sports betting odds of 5/1 on Schumacher’s outright success in F1 2010.

Robin Hood Blackjack Player

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:21:52 GMT

An expert blackjack player known as Robin Hood 702 (or RH702) is putting his blackjack skills to altruistic use by offering to pay at least half the household bills of needy families. Robin Hood 702 has done this before, and his gestures made headlines around the world, so he’s doing it again. Two families in the USA will be invited to join Robin Hood 702 on an all-expenses paid trip to Las Vegas and watch the high-roller win the cash required to wipe out their bills. It is expected that a camera crew from Fox News will also be filming the event for posterity.

Get Loaded Tournament at 32Red Casino

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 09:07:19 GMT

A Get Loaded Tournament at 32Red Casino is an online slots tournament with a difference, because everyone who participates (up to 1,000 players will be accommodated) is guaranteed to double their money before they even start playing! The tournament started on Friday 18 December and runs until Monday 28 December, but joining at any time makes perfect sense because the buy-in is €10 and all players who take part will win at least €20! In other words, you can’t lose!

Ladbrokes Betting on iPhone

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:02:49 GMT

iPhone users who also happen to be fans of sports betting will be delighted to hear that Ladbrokes have released an iPhone app that allows betting on the move. Betting by mobile phone is not a new concept, but the advanced capabilities of the iPhone, including the larger than average screen size, incredibly intuitive touch technology and ability to run a myriad of special software applications, now make sports betting on the move far more user friendly than ever before.

Novelty Christmas Betting Markets

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 09:41:28 GMT

Every year the same thing happens – we hit December and suddenly the whole world seems to get just a bit more jolly. Office parties are held, furtive kisses are exchanged under strategically placed bunches of mistletoe and newspaper journalists suddenly become preoccupied by the number of repeats that will be shown on television. Fortunately, sports betting fans aren’t excluded from the festive fun, because Paddy Power always has a range of novelty Christmas betting markets that never fail to entertain…

Australian Loses Casino Case

Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:16:49 GMT

Earlier this year we brought you news that Australian property tycoon Harry Kakavas was suing the Crown Casino in Melbourne for allegedly taking advantage of his addiction to gambling. Between 2004 and 2006 Kakavas lost $20 million to the casino and this, he claimed, was after he had ‘banned’ himself from the establishment a decade earlier. Now Justice David Harper has ruled that the Crown Casino was innocent of the claims made by Kakavas, and the court has demanded that Kakavas repay $1 million that he still owes the casino.

Five Figure Win for New Casino Player

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:01:48 GMT

A player who signed up for a new online casino account with 32Red Casino recently turned a bet of just £3 into a prize of £25,000. Brett Hill was attracted to 32Red Casino because of the generous ‘£32 free’ offer that the casino extends to all new players. No doubt he expected to be able to play a few games ‘on the house’ and maybe enjoy a small win or two if he happened to get lucky, but we doubt that he anticipated winning £25,000!

Match Fixing

Thu, 10 Dec 2009 11:34:18 GMT

Match fixing has been around for as long as sport itself to some degree, but as betting on sport has become more prevalent, so match fixing has become more organised. In the last few weeks alone there have been several large-scale investigations into match fixing across a range of sports, with criminal elements in multiple countries being accused of match fixing for the purpose of defrauding sports betting organisations. Fortunately, although match fixing is a deplorable fact of life, there are things that the average sports betting enthusiast can do to avoid being stung by the activity.

Online Casino Safety

Wed, 9 Dec 2009 09:54:55 GMT

The topic of online casino safety is one that is cropping up all over the world as governments, regulators and casinos alike discuss the legalities of casino gambling. The approach of some nations to problem gambling has been to implement a blanket ban on all forms of online gambling, but the weakness of that approach is that it doesn’t actually stop online casino gambling from taking place – all it does is drive the activity underground, and possibly into the hands of illegal casinos seeking to exploit the desire to gamble regardless of the law.

Blackjack in Supreme Court

Tue, 8 Dec 2009 14:23:40 GMT

Further to our recent piece on why a fifth of online blackjack players are mistaken, casinos in Indiana are taking the subject of offline card-counting to the supreme court. The question is not whether card counting itself is a legal activity (it is) but whether casinos have a legal right to ban players from counting cards on their premises.

Record Jackpot Payout for PartyCasino

Mon, 7 Dec 2009 09:12:36 GMT

PartyCasino has paid out the biggest online slots jackpot in its history – one worth $4,978,336.20. The Gold Mega Jackpot was won on the Mega Fortune Wheel game by a player in Germany, which means that he or she will now be looking forward to what we assume will be their first ever Christmas as a multi-millionaire.

England Seeded for World Cup 2010

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 09:44:37 GMT

The England football team has been seeded for the World Cup 2010 draw that takes place on Friday 4 December, giving England fans something to smile about. Many commentators had feared that England would have been left out of the top eight teams because of England’s position in the November rankings, but the seedings actually reflect rankings in October, at which point England was faring slightly better.

EGR Awards 2009

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 09:59:54 GMT

The eGaming Review Awards for 2009 have recently been presented to those online gaming operators who, in the eyes of the eGaming Review (one of the leading magazines for those who work in the online gambling industry) have excelled in various areas.

The EGR winner of the highly coveted Operator of the Year award was Bwin, with Bet365 receiving a special commendation.

Dolphin King Slots Review

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 09:02:22 GMT

Dolphin King is a 5-reel online slots game at the Lottery Casino that boasts 9 pay lines, massive cash prizes, a Rapid Fire Jackpot and more dolphins than you are likely to find in your local Sea Life centre. Dolphins are rumoured to be even more intelligent than human beings, but we have yet to see any dolphin win an online casino jackpot so we’re a tad sceptical about that. What we do know for sure is that Dolphin King is a brilliant game that all slots fans will enjoy playing online.

A Fifth of Online Blackjack Players Mistaken

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 11:27:34 GMT

A fifth of online blackjack players wrongly believe that card-counting is an effective strategy when playing the game at an online casino. This is the conclusion of an informal survey carried out by Gamble.co.uk, and it suggests that there are plenty of blackjack players who don’t fully understand how online blackjack games are simulated and/or how card-counting works from a technical perspective.

Multi-Player Gaming for Slots Players

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 10:43:11 GMT

Multi-player gaming for slots players has finally arrived with a brand new title from Microgaming that looks set to change the nature of online slots gaming forever. Online poker, bingo, blackjack and roulette players have long been able to enjoy the benefits of multi-player gaming, leaving slots enthusiasts feeling more than a little out in the cold. But now a Multi-Player Wheel of Wealth Special Edition has been launched, and online slots have suddenly taken a quantum leap forward that brings the slots experience right up to date.

How Online Casinos are Beating the Recession

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 09:29:07 GMT

It is often said that the gambling industry is recession proof, and that’s because people seek to participate in escapist forms of entertainment when the going gets tough in the real world just as much as they do when everything is going well. However, no industry is completely recession proof for the simple reason that a recession, by its very nature, means that there is less money flowing around. That being the case, the online casino industry has to try just as hard as any other to keep the cash coming in, and when it comes to the question of how online casinos are beating the recession, the number one answer is by giving money away…

Football Fans Want Video Referees

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:25:54 GMT

The number of football fans who would like to see video referees introduced to the game is growing at an exponential rate if comments following the recent match between France and the Republic of Ireland are to be taken as indicative. The match made headlines when France knocked the Republic of Ireland out of World Cup contention thanks to Thierry Henry inadvertently bringing his hands into play. The problem was not that a handball occurred (such things happen in football) but that it forced a national team out of the biggest football competition of all.

Why Celebrities Gamble

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:36:05 GMT

Celebrities love gambling just as much as anyone else, and those who want proof of that claim need only look at the huge number of actors, actresses, musicians, sports professionals and business moguls who enjoy having a flutter. Sir Clive Sinclair is keen on poker, as are Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Shannon Elizabeth and more. Other celebrities prefer blackjack, roulette, progressive slots and sports betting. George Clooney loves gambling so much that he once planned to have his own Las Vegas casino complex. But why exactly do celebrities gamble?

Card-Free Blackjack

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:39:17 GMT

A prototype casino table that uses a multitouch surface (imagine a blackjack table surface that works interactively, like a giant iPhone screen) has been displayed at the Global Gaming Expo (G2E) 2009 conference in Las Vegas. The prototype, which was created by the Moto Development Group, displays virtual cards on the table surface, and players and dealers can play the game by touching appropriate positions on the table as required.

Red Hot Cash Slots Promotion

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:17:36 GMT

A Red Hot Cash slots promotion is currently running at Virgin Casino which gives online slots players a chance to win a prize of up to £500. All you have to do to participate in the promotion is play any of the designated slots games that qualify, and if the total amount that you wager before 23:59 on Sunday 22 November is £175 or more then you will win a cash prize.

Crown Jewels Shake-Up

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:32:19 GMT

The Ashes and other big sporting events could soon be broadcast on free-to-air television channels if a proposed ‘Crown Jewels’ shake-up goes ahead. Crown jewels in this sense are sporting events which are considered to be so important to the UK that they have to be made as accessible as possible to television viewers, which means broadcasting them on terrestrial and free-to-air television channels. Right now The Ashes isn’t on the crown jewels list, but David Davies wants that to change from 2013.

Casino Gambling Fairness

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 10:31:07 GMT

Players of casino games, whether offline or online, have always been sticklers for fairness, and rightfully so. For gaming to be enjoyable as well as legal then one needs to be sure that the casino is playing by the rules, and hasn’t set things up (over and above the vital house edge) so that the player cannot win. However, casino gambling fairness needs to work both ways, and for casinos to remain viable as businesses it is equally important that players are trusted to play by the rules as well.

Jenson Button: Brawn Again?

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:09:07 GMT

Formula 1 betting enthusiasts are speculating as to who 2009 Drivers’ Champion Jenson Button will be driving for in the 2010 season. His year with Brawn GP could hardly have gone much better, but Button has decided against rushing into signing up for another season with Brawn, preferring instead to think things over for a few weeks. Naturally, this has given racing fans plenty of time to consider the possibilities.

Inflation Dilutes Kai Rooney Betting Odds

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 12:46:14 GMT

Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen recently celebrated the birth of their first child, Kai, and the bookmakers were quick to offer odds on Kai Rooney following in his father’s footsteps. PaddyPower is currently offering odds of 150/1 for Kai playing football for Everton, 200/1 on him playing for Manchester United and 250/1 for him playing for England. Those odds sound pretty good at first glance, but when you factor in the often overlooked matter of inflation, the value is diluted somewhat.

Gambling Considered Socially Acceptable

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 10:54:02 GMT

After decades of being viewed as a dubious pastime, gambling is finally considered to be a socially acceptable hobby. Not only is gambling no longer frowned upon by society at large, the more enlightened attitude to participating in games of chance has allowed more women to start enjoying a flutter now and again – something that was largely unheard of even thirty years ago.

Ladbrokes Grand Slam of Slots Winner

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 10:02:00 GMT

The Grand Slam of Slots tournament created its first millionaire winner on Monday 2 November, 2009, and we can reveal that the winner was a player at Ladbrokes Casino. The winner has been named as Stefan, who lives in South London. Stefan had won a seat in the Grand Slam of Slots by entering a qualifying tournament for just €2. That tiny investment paid off handsomely, because when Stefan won the Grand Slam of Slots he picked up a cool €1,000,000!

The Future of Blackjack

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 10:07:39 GMT

Blackjack has always been one of the most popular casino games, largely due to the fact that it is one of the few games where skill can be used to reduce the house edge to a minimum or even eliminate it altogether. However, in recent years the game of blackjack has taken something of a back seat as slots with massive progressive jackpots and online poker tournaments with multi-million dollar prize pools have hogged the limelight. So are the golden days of blackjack over? We don’t think so. In fact, we think that the future of blackjack could turn out to be even brighter than the golden days of the past…

Jackpots Irrelevant for Most Online Casino Gamblers

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 11:24:37 GMT

Most online gamblers are very realistic about their chances of winning a life-changing jackpot, according to a new survey of online gamblers carried out by Gamble.co.uk. Whilst online casino jackpots do of course play a part in encouraging players to try out new games, most players don’t play those games for the sole purpose of winning jackpots, but are instead quite happy to play for the sheer entertainment of the experience. If modest profits are gained in the process, so much the better, but winning is by no means viewed as essential.

Halloween at Lottery Casino

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 09:27:43 GMT

Halloween at Lottery Casino could prove to be a very profitable thing, because five horror-themed slots have been selected for the gaming pleasure of online slots players everywhere. The slots in question are Vampire Bats, Haunted House, Ghost Rider, Witches and Warlocks and Zone of Zombies (which was reviewed yesterday – spooky or what?) Each of these games offers big cash prizes, so if you would like your Halloween to be prize-winning as well as hair-raising, you should check them out.

Zone of Zombies Slots Review

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:38:10 GMT

Zone of Zombies is a repulsively good Frightmare slots game at Lottery Casino, and will thrill anyone who gets a kick out of horror movies, creepy video games and Halloween parties. Zone of Zombies will also appeal to more timid players, because it offers a randomly-triggered Frightmare Jackpot in addition to a plethora of main game prizes, and who couldn’t fake a little courage with all of that potential prize money on offer? The game has 5 reels, 25 pay lines, and masses of atmosphere.

Gold Rally Jackpot Payout

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 11:10:23 GMT

A Gold Rally jackpot worth $1,338,723 has been won by an online slots player who has yet to be named. This makes Gold Rally one of the most lucrative games of all for slots players, because the game has now paid out around $7.5 million in the last year thanks to seven jackpot wins. Players everywhere are now hoping that they can land an eighth Gold Rally jackpot before the end of 2009, and we wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if that happened!

Live Games Giveaway

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 11:50:51 GMT

A Live Games Giveaway event takes place this Saturday 24 October at Bet365 Casino, so if you have ever wanted to discover what live casino gaming is all about then now would be a great time to do so.

Win Pirates Millions for Free!

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 10:35:29 GMT

You could win a record Pirates’ Millions slots jackpot for free thanks to a very special promotion that is currently running at the 888 Casino. Pirates’ Millions is a brand new online slots game which boasts the biggest jackpot ever to be made available to online players – a jackpot of £8,888,888! Of course, if you don’t land this extraordinary jackpot with one of your three free spins then you can choose to continue playing with your own money, but those free spins are definitely worth claiming for starters!

Mum of Two Hits Jackpot

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:49:23 GMT

A mum of two from Leicester is celebrating after hitting a Millionaire’s Club slots jackpot worth £421,076. The winner, who is known as Lozzer69 when online and as Lorraine in real life, was playing the popular Millionaires Club game at InterCasino when her luck helped her to hit the top prize.

Button and Brawn are F1 Champions

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 10:26:44 GMT

Jenson Button has become the 10th British driver to win the Formula 1 World Drivers Championship, and his success (as well as that of Lewis Hamilton in 2009) gives Britain its first back-to-back Drivers Championship success in 40 years. His Brawn GP team also became the first team to win the Constructors Championship in its debut season – not bad with one Formula 1 Grand Prix race left to go!

SEGA Online Casino

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 09:57:58 GMT

Ever heard of the SEGA online casino? Probably not, but that’s only because it hasn’t been launched yet. However, SEGA Games has made a successful application for an online gambling licence from the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and we can tell you that an online casino powered by Playtech looks like a done deal. The only question is when the casino will appear, and which characters might feature in the games.

Another Mega Moolah Jackpot Landed!

Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:48:06 GMT

A Mega Moolah jackpot worth $1.2 million has been won by an online casino player in Poland. Radoslaw M bet just 25c on the massive popular Mega Moolah game and within moments was staring wide-eyed at his new millionaire status. It’s the kind of win that all online slots players dream of, and the Mega Moolah game has made the dream come true for several players in 2009 alone!

Card Counting Computer Program

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:20:19 GMT

The blackjack world is buzzing with the news that a student at the University of Dundee has developed a computer program that has the ability to detect card counting activity in a casino environment. The program, which is the brainchild of 22 year old Kris Zutis, would take information from the CCTV system employed by the casino and analyse the data captured to flag up card counting activity as well as dealer errors.

New Slots at Lottery Casino

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 09:52:01 GMT

A slew of brand new online slots games appeared at Lottery.co.uk Casino last weekend, so if you haven’t discovered them already you will certainly want to take a look at them this week. The range of online slots games available at the Lottery Casino was already impressive even before these new additions, so now the place is positively buzzing with the potential to win big money.

Champions League Twenty20

Fri, 9 Oct 2009 08:34:43 GMT

The first ever Champions League Twenty20 cricket tournament started yesterday in Bangalore, India. The first match saw the Cape Cobras beat the Royal Bangalore Challengers by five wickets, but there is still a long way to go until the tournament final on Saturday 24 October, so if you fancy making some cricket betting profits from any of the twelve participating teams then there is plenty of time to do so.

William Hill Adverts Banned

Thu, 8 Oct 2009 09:44:54 GMT

Two press advertisements and one poster, all of which were used to advertise a free bet promotion from the William Hill sports betting organisation, have been banned in their current form by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). All three items were advertising “£100 OF FREE BETS!”, but one person (yet again, there’s always one) complained that the advertisements were misleading because the stake wasn’t returned to the person betting along with any winnings. And, alarmingly, the ASA upheld this complaint!

Ladbrokes Casino Offers Free Casino Chips

Tue, 6 Oct 2009 16:37:32 GMT

Ladbrokes Casino is offering £25 in free casino chips to any player who opens an account for the first time.

Littlewoods Casino Race

Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:15:43 GMT

A new Littlewoods Casino Race will take place on Thursday 1 October, 2009, so if you fancy winning a share of £2,640 in bonus cash you need to make sure that you play at Littlewoods Casino at some point between 00:00 and 23:59 GMT. Because this online casino race only lasts 24 hours it makes sense to prepare yourself now so that you can hit the ground running when the promotion gets underway.

Triple Comp Points Windfall

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 10:27:11 GMT

A Triple Comp Points Windfall promotion starts today at Bet365 Casino and runs until this Sunday 4 October, 2009.

Derren Brown: How to Beat a Casino

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 13:12:55 GMT

Derren Brown intends to show millions of television viewers How to Beat a Casino this Friday 2 October, 2009. The show will be broadcast at 9pm on Channel 4, and Derren intends to gamble £5,000 on the spin of a roulette wheel. To make things even more interesting, the £5,000 being gambled at the casino won’t be his – it will belong to a TV viewer who won’t realise that their money is being put at risk until the night of the show, when Derren calls them to let them know.

British Bookies Endangered?

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 10:37:11 GMT

Online bookmakers that are based in the UK are looking more and more like an endangered species, and unless the British government reviews its taxation of the gambling industry it may soon be an extinct species. Last month both William Hill and Ladbrokes announced that they were moving their online sports betting businesses to Gibraltar, and other big companies like Betfair could soon choose to do the same.

Mega Jackpots Over £2 Million!

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 14:36:52 GMT

The Mega Jackpots range of online slots games are always popular because they offer a minimum jackpot of £1.5 million, but their popularity looks set to soar now that the current jackpot has smashed through the £2 million mark.

InterCasino offers Single Deck Blackjack

Tue, 22 Sep 2009 10:25:23 GMT

With so many great online casinos to choose from, the introduction of a new game can easily escape your notice, but one game that you shouldn’t overlook is Single Deck Blackjack.

Cash Splash Five Times Over!

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:12:16 GMT

An incredibly lucky player at 32Red Casino has won no less than five Cash Splash progressive jackpots in less than twelve months. Anyone who has previously believed that progressive jackpot lightning doesn’t strike twice needs to think again, because it struck five times for online slots player Gary S, and there is still time for him to win a sixth before he hits the one year anniversary of his first win.

Marvel Slots in Jeopardy?

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 10:00:23 GMT

There is speculation that Marvel Slots could be put in jeopardy by Disney’s acquisition of Marvel Comics. Disney is famous for being a company that tailors its products and services to families rather than adults, and if it decides that it doesn’t want its new Marvel Comics characters to be associated with the world of online slots gambling then we could well see CryptoLogic’s popular slots games disappear.

X Factor Betting

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:26:02 GMT

The Paddy Power sports betting site has a surprisingly large number of X Factor betting markets running which could, if you are astute enough to be able to predict how the judges and public are likely to vote throughout the popular television series, help you to make some good profits from the show. Here’s our take on the best way to approach X Factor betting and the best markets to look at…

EuroMillions Mega Jackpot

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:36:18 GMT

Online Baccarat Tournaments

Wed, 9 Sep 2009 11:23:51 GMT

Online baccarat tournaments are being introduced at a growing number of online casinos and that’s a good thing for players because it gives you the chance to make a decent amount of cash for a known outlay. Like other casino tournaments, online baccarat tournaments involve playing according to the usual rules and the winner is the tournament player who manages to amass the greatest number of chips.

Ladbrokes Casino Blackjack Tournaments

Tue, 8 Sep 2009 09:58:21 GMT

Bet365 Casino Roulette Tournament

Thu, 3 Sep 2009 09:47:09 GMT

A Bet365 Casino roulette tournament will be held on Saturday 12 September, 2009. We suggest that you mark the date in your diary (which is why we’re giving you a little advance notice) because the total prize pool for this ‘Spinner Winner’ tournament will be worth £5,000 and 200 lucky winners will be receiving a share of it. If you like playing online roulette then it makes a lot of sense to try and ensure that one of those lucky 200 is you!

Gold Mega Jackpot at PartyCasino

Wed, 2 Sep 2009 09:56:27 GMT

PartyCasino online slots players are bracing themselves for what will be an incredible win when the Gold Mega Jackpot pays out. The Gold Mega Jackpot is currently worth over $3.62 million, and when you consider that the last Gold Mega Jackpot win was worth less than a third of that (it was $1.35 million), the widespread expectations among PartyCasino players that another jackpot payout might come at any time are perfectly understandable.

The X Factor Slots

Tue, 1 Sep 2009 10:12:53 GMT

The X Factor slots game, which has the subtitle Steps to Stardom, is a 5 reel slots game with 15 pay lines. As the name of the game suggests, The X Factor slots game is based on the popular television show of the same name. For those of you who haven’t seen The X Factor television show (there must be someone, surely?) we can tell you that it’s a British music talent show devised by Simon Cowell, who also appears on the panel of judges. Now The X Factor online slots game gives you the chance of striking it rich from the comfort of your own home – and you won’t have to sing a note to do so.

Ladbrokes is Bejeweled!

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:17:05 GMT

Players will soon notice that the Games tab at Ladbrokes is Bejeweled thanks to a new licensing agreement that will allow the popular online gaming site to offer at least three CryptoLogic games to its clients.

Blackjack Progressive Jackpot Soars

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 09:51:25 GMT

Online blackjack players take note – the blackjack progressive jackpot at the Lottery Casino is soaring in value, and is currently worth more than £88,100! It’s not often that online blackjack players can dream of winning five figures in a single session (unless you bet with very big stakes to begin with) but that’s exactly what could happen if you choose to play your blackjack games at the Lottery Casino.

Free Online Roulette

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 09:37:59 GMT

Free online roulette is exactly the same as regular roulette as far as the rules and odds are concerned. The only difference is that when you play free online roulette (as opposed to regular online roulette) you don’t have to put any of your own money at risk. Instead, you play with ‘fun chips’ which can be won or lost, but don’t affect your pocket in any meaningful way. Although many players assume that free online roulette is something that only beginners would be interested in, free online roulette can also be useful for intermediate and even advanced players…

Football Season 2009/10

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 11:06:15 GMT

The 2009/10 football season is underway and sports betting fans have a great range of betting markets to take a look at over the coming weeks and months. There have only been three games played in the current season so far, but already the Premier League table will surprise many. Not because Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United are in the top four, but because Tottenham is right at the top of the table.

Race to Win is Back!

Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:55:34 GMT

The popular Race to Win promotion at Paddy Power Casino is back, and this time the competition has a football theme.

The first prize in this Race to Win is worth £10,000, and cash prizes of at least £100 will also be paid to 24 runners-up. In addition, online casino players who finish in the top 50 win the 2009/10 football shirt of their favourite team.

Millionaires Club Jackpot Won!

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:44:31 GMT

Another Millionaires Club jackpot has been won by a lucky online slots player in the UK. The jackpot was worth a massive £1,547,338 and that means the Millionaires Club game, which was created by award-winning casino software developer CryptoLogic, has paid out $3.1 million in jackpots in the last year alone.
