New Look for All Slots Online Casino

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

Players at All Slots online casino are in for a real treat. The website features a new design, which certainly helps to modernize the atmosphere of this online casino. All Slots is now more organized, more modern and more enjoyable. Players will certainly appreciate the change.

The first thing that players will notice about the new design is that everything has been reorganized. The first thing players will see is a banner about the welcome bonus with details about how to get started at All Slots. At the top of the homepage, there are also two links to the downloadable and the instant play casino, making it easy for players to choose which route to go.

The casino’s guide, including bonus information, banking and security data, has been moved lower down on the page. However, it is presented clearly so players can have easy access to this information.

The whole feel of the page has changed, as well. Players will notice that the overall look of the website is more modernized, bringing All Slots into the 21st Century. This is the second Microgaming website to receive a makeover, as Spin Palace recently revealed its new look earlier this month.

Betclic Recieves eCOGRA Seal

Tuesday, September 13th, 2011

Betclic recently received the eCOGRA seal of approval. The online gambling company joins 146 other online gambling sites that have also been given the safe and fair seal of approval from eCOGRA.

Commenting on audit and review of Betclic, Bradley Khoury said “The cooperation and dedication of the Betclic compliance personnel accompanied by unrestricted access to knowledgeable staff and transparent information facilitated a highly comprehensive review. The organisation demonstrated strong resilience and noteworthy commitment to compliance.”

The eCOGRA chief executive commented that Betclic didn’t just get their seal of approval, they also made the standards of the European Gaming and Betting Association.

After Black Friday rocked the gambling industry back in April, transparency has become very important to players and those in the gambling industry.

Back in 2002, eCOGRA was formed by 888.com and Microgaming. It stands for e-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance. The reason as to why 888.com and Microgaming formed eCOGRA was because players needed much more protection than was available in the market at the time, and a mediator for the online gambling industry was also needed to settle disputes. It was important to the founders that a list of standards and practices for the online gambling industry be created, and from this, the “Safe and Fair” seal came about, with the first one being awarded in 2004.

Playtech Offers Scratch Cards

Tuesday, July 26th, 2011

Over the past decade, gambling has moved on to the internet. Offering up bingo, blackjack, poker, slots, and other games, online gambling has definitely become bigger and bigger, and for many reasons. It used to be that if you wanted to gamble, you had to go to a casino, go to the store to buy your lottery ticket and scratch cards, go to a bingo hall to play bingo, or just go to places in general, just to gamble.

Gone are those days. Gas prices are through the roof, and sometimes the last thing people want to do is be around people when all they want to do is gamble and have some downtime for themselves. That’s why online gambling has become so popular. It’s easy, convenient, you don’t have to drive anywhere, and you can do it in the privacy of your own home.

The latest development in online gambling is scratch cards. It’s not very often that one hears about scratch cards being available online, but they infact are. Obviously you can’t literally scratch them, but the idea is the same. It’s simple, and can be a cheap way to have a little gambling fun.

Playtech has been releasing scratch cards the last little while based on their most popular online slot games. These scratch card games include Kong Scratch and Iron Man 2 Scratch. As a popular online gaming provider for casinos, Playtech run casinos offer up scratch cards. The great thing about online scratch cards is that players can choose the denomination, from a mere $.10 to as much as $100! Give it a try today!

Playtech Offers Up Cashback Slot

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

How many times have you gotten cashback from an online slot game? Well, cashback is not just for banks and stores anymore, thanks to Playtech’s new Mr.Cashback slot game. The leading software provider has launched the new slot game Mr.Cashback, hoping to entice players with it’s unique and original feature. Featuring 15 paylines, plenty of symbols, scatters, and other features, Mr.Cashback has been groomed to become an online casino favourite at all Playtech powered online casinos.

As with most slot games, there’s of course a wild in Mr.Cashback. The wild is Mr.Cashback smoking a cigar. When five of these wilds appear in an enabled payline, prepare to get a jackpot payout of 7,500 coins. The animation when this happens is awesome, as you can see piles of gold piling up in front of Mr. Cashback. Besides the wild symbol of Mr.Cashback smoking a cigar, other symbols include a none smoking logo of Mr.Cashback, piggy banks, gold coin bags, wads of cash, and even card symbols from ace to nine.

The Mr.Cashback logo is the scatter symbol. This is one of the symbols players should pray for. When three or more appear on the reels anywhere, players get awarded with nice scatter payouts. Scatter payouts are actually a very good thing to get, because they get multiplied, and the free spins feature gets triggered. Free spins payout well, so it’s win-win-win.

The cashback feature is what players will love in Mr.Cashback. If an active payline doesn’t win 50 times, players get back 50 times the line bet! Who can say no to that!? Keep your eyes peeled for this new game. Players should definitely give it a try!

Microgaming Releases New Slot Game

Friday, June 17th, 2011

Industry leading software developer Microgaming, has launched a new online slot game called Sonic7s this month. With a unique new feature, players are going to be delighted by the latest feature called Power Spins. Not every game of Sonic7s will have Power Spins, as it has to be activated. Even if players don’t activate this cool feature, Sonic7s is still a great slot game to play.

Sonic7s is a video slot game, featuring classic slot game symbols in blue, like bars, cherries, bells, and of course, 7’s. The wild symbol is the logo of Sonic7s. Every payline can take a maximum wager of up to 10 coins, and there are 9 paylines. So, that’s 45 coins maximum per wager.

45 coins seems like a hefty gamble, but here’s where the Power Spins comes in real handy. Once the Power Spins is activated, Sonic7s a different game. All 9 paylines are automatically activated, and instead of the maximum wager being 45 coins, it’s only 15 coins. The wild turns into a multiplier of up to 8X, giving players a chance to win more!

You can find Sonic7s available at many online casinos now. This is sure to become a new favourite for many! Good luck!

Cryptologic and Playtech offer up X-Men

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Long before the release of the newest installment of the X-Men: First Class, there was just X-Men. Even longer before the X-Men movie series came around, there were the Marvel comics. That’s how it all began.

With all the Marvel movies coming out this year, I anticipate a growing interest and popularity in all Marvel related games.

Right now, there are a bunch of Marvel related online casino games out there. The most popular Marvel branded game would have to be X-Men. Currently, there are two X-Men slot games available.

The first X-Men slot game that is available is Cryptologic’s online slot game. Cryptologic was the first software company to come out with an X-Men slot game, and they based their game on the Marvel comics. This version is available at online casinos like InterCasino and VIP Casino.

The second X-Men slot game that is available is by software company, Playtech. Their version of an X-Men slot game came out later, and is based on the Marvel movies. Since it’s newer, there’s also better graphics and more animations in the game. Players can find this version of a slot game at online casinos, such as Grand Palace, Omni Casino and Casino Tropez..

Take your pick! Both are great games though, offering up our beloved X-Men characters.



1 of 9 Irish Full Tilt Accounts Unfrozen

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

What exactly does this 1 of 9 Irish accounts contain? Surprise surprise, millions upon millions of dollars.

Since Black Friday, Full Tilt Poker has owed its US players a whole lot of money. A staggering $100 million to $150 million. After a seemingly long wait, it looks like it will soon be over.

1 of 9 Irish accounts has been unfrozen. This account is worth about a third of the funds owed to US players. This account was also 1 of 76 named in the April 15th indictments.



The United States Department of Justice finally unfroze the Irish account. The account holder is Full Tilt, and it’s co-founder, Raymond Bitar. The company has had access to these funds a short time now, and yet US players still haven’t gotten what they are owed. There has also been no indication as to when Full Tilt will start refunding US players their funds. What are they waiting for? The rest of their accounts to be unfrozen perhaps? Or maybe they just want to be able to pay everyone back at the same time?

Many other companies that were affected by Black Friday have already paid back their U.S customers. It looks like Full Tilt may finally be getting around to that soon.
