Thursday, October 6th, 2011

Microgaming has three new slot games coming out this month, according to a media advisory they released recently. One of the games is Lucky Witch, which some people might already have heard about, and the other two games are Victorian Villain and Hells Grannies. All three new games will be available on the QuickFire platform, and only Lucky Witch will make an exception and also be available on the Viper and Flash platforms.

Lucky Witch is coming out just in time to celebrate Halloween. With it’s Halloween theme, it’s the perfect slot game to play for those adults looking for a ‘treat’. The Lucky Witch functions as the wild in the game, and there’s also the Cauldron Scatter that triggers a bonus game.

The other two slot games coming out are being offered exclusively on the QuickFire platform, which Microgaming has been more focused on lately. Victorian Villain and Hells Grannies may not be Halloween themed, but they are fun! Victorian Villian features a female detective in search for a wanted murderer, and Hells Grannies features some hardcore grannies in a comic style slot game.

It’s nice to see some original slot games coming out, especially after a slew of so many superhero themed games.

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.

New Online Slots Game from Microgaming

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

The newest online slots game from Microgaming puts an interesting new spin on traditional video slots. Planet Exotica, a five-reel 15-payline game, is based in a very unique setting: a strip club located in outerspace.

On the reels, some strange characters are lurking as symbols, including purple strippers (which resemble characters from The Fifth Element) and green Cyclops-like bartenders. The exotic dancers are all scantily-clad in leather and lace outfits that look like they have been plucked right out of Showgirls.

Planet Exotica features some interesting bonus games, including the Select a Smooch bonus, in which players can win up to 1 million coins. After revealing three to five lips on the reels, the player must choose a pair in order to obtain a bonus multiplier or a number of free spins.

There is also the Sneak A Peek bonus, which is triggered when the Sneak a Peek symbol appears on the first reel. When the player is transferred to the actual bonus game, the player is required to sneak a peek of one of the dancer’s without any of the bouncers taking notice. The prize for this round could reward players up to 12 000 coins.

Best Online Gambling Operators of 2010

Monday, December 20th, 2010

This year was a big one for the online gambling industry. Dozens of operators stepped up their game as the market became increasingly competitive. 2010 saw many great innovations from a wide range of online casinos, and here are a few of the best brands out there this year.

Betfair really shined this year, winning several awards at this year’s EGR Gaming Awards. The operator has been lauded for its new television gambling technology, which allows players to place bets in real time from their television sets. The system has become extremely popular over the course of the past year, launching Betfair into online gambling fame.

Bet365 also had a great year. While it is one of the lesser known online casino brands, this year saw the company stand out among some of the most renowned names in online gambling. Bet365 has won numerous awards from a wide range of authorities, solidifying it as one of the best performing operators this year.

And, of course, there are the usual top performers. Microgaming and PlayTech continue to be on a financial upswing, steadily recovering from the global recession. The two companies regularly release new games to pique players’ interest, boosting profits for their licensees.
