It looks like InterCasino wants to give its players some awesome summer promotions, and they’ve decided to start off with a BANG! If you’re not up to participating in the InterHero promotion at InterCasino, then maybe this will light a fire under you.

Right now, InterCasino is offering their players the hottest summer prize. How does a pair of VIP tickets to the Festival of Speed sound? Taking place at Goodwood this July, it’s one world famous event you don’t want to miss!

One of the biggest motoring festivals in the world, this is an experience of a lifetime for anyone. Imagine sharing that with a friend! A collection of the sexiest, fastest, and best cars in the world will be in attendance. You don’t want to disappoint them, do you? Oh yes, there’ll also be a few famous industry figures hanging out at the Festival of Speed, but never mind them. We both know you’ll be looking at the cars.

This VIP package for two includes a champagne reception, three course meal and afternoon tea plus FREE parking for Saturday, July 2^nd.  That free parking will come in handy.

This is a promotion open to all InterCasino players. For more information or to play, visit http://www.intercasino.co.uk

What a way to kick start the month of June! Starting this week, PartyPoker has a new promotion that’ll get you going, and a prize that’ll get you there. I’m talking about the Porsche 911 Carrera!

It’s not called the Big Draw for nothing. Besides the Porsche 911 Carrera, which is a very big draw worthy prize on its own, every day in June there will be a  draw to win prizes, including the Porsche. Other prizes up for grabs include luxury holidays to Las Vegas and the Caribbean, and hundreds of gadgets such as iPads and TVs. Nice to know that even if you don’t win the Porsche, you can always win a vacation away, or an iPad.

As with any promotion from PartyPoker, it’s all about the PartyPoints. Every PartyPoint you earn is a potential winning ticket for the Big Draw. If you don’t win one day, rest assured, your tickets are still valid for the rest of the time being until you win. That means the more you play, the more PartyPoints you get, and the more tickets you win to put in the Big Draw. With tickets being reusable, that makes your odds even better. With half a million dollars in prizes, including the special mega draw prizes on Sundays, this is one promotion you don’t want to miss out on!

Good luck and Party On!

InterCasino has always offered up some pretty cool promotions. My favourite promotion hands down, was the Space Race. Right now, InterCasino has a promotion called the InterHero promotion. The grand prize is no trip to space, but it’s pretty sweet.

A total prize pool of a quarter of a million dollars is certainly reason enough to play from now until Thursday, August 25^th. Besides the typical cash prizes, there’s also bonuses, and two opportunities to act in a Hollywood movie! No word of a lie folks! There really are two opportunities to act in a Hollywood flick, and it pays! Players can win a walk-on part worth $20,000! So for all of you aspiring actors and actresses, this could also be your big break, not to mention, a nice way to make some coin.

As per usual, this InterCasino promotion is comprised of several different events. Check out InterCasino’s website for more details, so you can see what’s going on when.

An event that is ending soon is the Thor Slots Tournament, which is up this Sunday, on May 29^th. It started last Wednesday, on May 18^th, but don’t like that scare you away from playing! There’s still a chance to win some prize money, so hammer with everything you’ve got. Oh yes, there’s a $15,000 prize pool at stake, so don’t miss out!

X Factor is one of the most popular reality TV shows among punters in the UK. Thousands of dollars is spent at online sportsbetting websites every year when the finale of the competition is aired. This year was no different, except for the fact that a scandal arose in the online sportsbetting market.

Three employees for Virgin Media, one of the show’s producers, made £16 000 in bets on the final of the competition. They had unique access to the company’s voting data and used it to interpret the outcome of the show.

Luckily, the sportsbetting website at which they placed their bets caught on to their scheme very quickly. The company includes an integrity division that keeps an eye out for any suspicious activity and the scammers were found out almost immediately.

Shortly after, the UK Gambling Commission acted quickly to ensure that the players bets would be voided. However, hundreds of other players’ odds were affected. The outcome of the competition was not changed, but the odds were. Now, the online betting company must compensate players who were affected by the scam with thousands of dollars.

World leading online gaming software company, Microgaming, has announced that there will be five new games coming our way in April.  Looks like Microgaming is kicking off Spring with some new fun for us!

All the games are for Microgaming’s Bingo, Flash and QuickFire platforms. The five games will include two Latin American style online bingo games, and the remaining three games will be slot games.

Here’s a breakdown of the new games coming your way in April:

There’s Mayan Bingo and Electro Bingo. Latin American-styled online bingo games that deliver  plenty of fun! Mayan Bingo and Electro Bingo require players to match the numbers on their bingo cards to the numbers that appear on a set of prize patterns. Players that match the full pattern have big prizes in store for them.  The only difference between these two Bingo games is that Electro Bingo players who are one ball shy from any winning patterns get a chance to buy an extra ball to complete the pattern.

These Bingo games are fast paced and fun, and will be available on Flash and Casino in Bingo platforms, and through QuickFire.

The remaining 3 games are new slot games! There’s Asian Beauty, part of the 243 Ways-to-Win series with an oriental theme.. There’s No Worries, a 5-reel, 20-payline video slot with an Aussie theme. And then there’s 300 Shields, an ancient Greece themed 5-reel, 25-payline slot game.

Which one will you pick to play first?

It really doesn’t matter what you’re selling, everyone knows that having an attractive woman promote your product works wonders and that’s just what online poker site Carbon Poker has done by signing Tina Wallman.

The official spokes model for Carbon Poker is known as the Queen of Hearts and the 30-year-old is no stranger to using her good looks and charm to promoting goods and services. This looker hails from the Land Down Under and her photos have appeared in a different magazines and other venues before she embarked on her online gambling promotion career.

Part of the 30-year-old’s job will be to help promote the site which hopes to attract American visitors who are restricted from playing online poker games because of the UIGEA ruling. She has had an interesting career in promotions including the above-mentioned accolades as well as a stint as Zoo Beach Weeklys Girl of the Year in 2007.

Wallman also has a cheeky side she demonstrated in an interview recently. When asked how online poker and sex are related she replied bluffing was very similar to faking it, and comments like that have industry insiders predicting she’ll have a great career promoting online gambling.

The online gambling industry is still a bit rocky, as operators continue to struggle to recover from the global economic crisis. PlayTech is one of the few operators that is seeing improved profits in the online gambling sector, thanks to the company’s expansion into the American online gambling market.

According to a recent report, PlayTech saw an impressive profit increase over the last quarter of 2010, as revenue increased from 14% to 21%. The biggest contributors to this growth seemed to be PlayTech’s online poker and online bingo divisions. These two markets have become increasingly popular over the past year, and PlayTech is certainly taking advantage of the plentiful opportunities within them.

PlayTech’s profits seem to have also been helped by its expansion into the American market. The company has been careful not to violate any current laws in the country, but it has managed to maintain a profitable presence by helping run state lotteries.

Because of this, PlayTech is likely to be favoured when the American online gambling market is legalized (which many politicians are hoping will happen this year). Once this happens, PlayTech will continue on its financial upswing into 2012 and beyond.

CrazyVegas.com has just made some popular online casino games available in time for the festive season. There are three featured on their Flash platform. One is considered an old standard among people who are interested in the best online gambling and the other two have been released in conjunction with the holidays.

Here’s a quick run down of the titles: Silver Fang Video Slot, Santa’s Wild Ride Video Slot and Big Break Instant Win.

The first, Santa’s Wild Ride Video Slot, is considered to be the most tempting of the three. This 5-reel online gambling provides contestants with 243 winning payline combinations. There are also three Wild bonus features where Santa himself gets transformed into a tough biker.

Silver Fang Video Slot is another great game to look at. With a 50 payline Video Slot, you can get involved with this one using 10 coins per line and there are bonuses of 15 Free Spins. You’ll enjoy the fact that there is a high end jackpot of 50,000 coins and another Gambling Feature that you can take on as an option.

Online casino Flash games are very popular in the industry. Having Christmas themes only helped these games shoot to the top of most players favourite online slots this past holiday season.

PlayTech Will now be providing software for popular Italian Operator Buongiorno, which already hosts a wide range of online gaming activities online. Buongiorno currently hosts online poker and bingo and the new deal with PlayTech will see the addition of a casino games section to its website.

The deal was made this month, but will only be completed when Italy’s new online gambling laws take effect early in the new year. Then, customers in Italy will be able to experience the amazing online casino games that PlayTech is well-known for providing. Later in the year, the two companies will be working together to launch mobile applications for casino fans in Italy.

Buorgiono has over 10 years experience in gaming and PlayTech will add its online expertise to make the new casino offerings a favourite in Italy’s online gambling market.

This is a great opportunity for PlayTech, as it sees the popular online gaming designer expanding into previously untapped markets. Italy’s online gambling industry is worth millions and PlayTech is getting in from the ground up. There has yet to be any other word from other operators looking to expand into Italy’s market.
