Richard Branson's Virgin Casino announced the release of its latest slot game entitled Andre The Giant this week.

Virgin is in the batch of the first casinos to get this amazing slot game. PartyCasino.com is tipped to also host the pro wrestling themed game.

The new wrestling slot game is a Microgaming flash casino game that is based on the iconic World Wrestling Entertainment star Andre the Giant. It has been launched on the QuickFire platform and is fully licensed by CMG Worldwide.

This 5 reel, 25 pay-line slot game has symbols that revolve around the professional wrestling entertainment genre. Players can wrestle with symbols such as the Andre the Giant logo as the scatter, an image of Andre the Giant acts as the wild and there are additional symbols such as the wrestling ring, championship belt, the mask and tickets.

The biggest pay out a player can win from this game is 5,000 coins and this occurs when five matching symbols appear on the same pay-line. Players can then multiply their winnings by playing a game of Hi or Lo with cards.

The Andre Goes Wild feature round allows the wild symbol to expand to cover all three positions on the reel. This will only occur if the expansion results in a winning combination. The wild symbol only appears on reels 2 and 4 during the game.

If two or more Andre the Giant logo scatter symbols appear on the reels at any one time this will activate a scatter pay out. The scatter pay out for hitting five scatter symbols is 200 coins. If a player hits three or more scatter symbols then they will trigger the Battle Bout Bonus round.

In this round, the player is giving 10 free spins. Throughout these 10 free spins, Attack symbols are collected and saved for the second phase of this bonus round. These symbols are some of Andre the Giant signature wrestling moves. Once the free spins finish, the player then takes the Attack symbols collected into the next part of the bonus round where they pick an opponent to fight and then unleash the Attack symbols on that opponent.

Opponents include Flame Bro, Jimmy Iron Legs and Voltage Van Zandt. No, Hulk Hogan or Jake "The Snake" Roberts are not in the game, but we hear both of these wrestling icons are interested to have their own slot game, and Hogan's wish will be coming soon later this year.

If Andre the Giant hits the opponent then the player wins bonus credits. If Andre the Giant hits the opponent three or more times then the player can select one of Andre the Giant’s finishing moves to win the bout and earn multiple bonus credits.

The Andre the Giant slot game is available to play Virgin Casino right now and Virgin offer some of the best online casino bonuses on the planet so ring the bell!

*Andre The Giant fans may also like The Incredible Hulk online slot. Hulk Hogan purchased the Hulk naming rights to use "The Incredible Hulk" from Marvel Entertainment in a multi million dollar deal approximately 20 years ago.

Virgin Games Launches TV Advertising Campaign

2010-11-02T05:13:00.000-07:00

Virgin Games Launches TV Advertising Campaign

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 1st November 2010 - Virgin Games, the leading online gaming company, has launched its first ever television advertising campaign for its casino site, Virgin Casino. The advert aims to cement Virgin Casino's position as the home of online slots by promoting the wide range of games that the Company now offers, and the fact that it launches at least one new game every week.

The 20 second advert, which is part of a £500,000 campaign, uses a space theme to introduce viewers to the world of Virgin Casino and features well know online game titles such as Cleopatra, Da Vinci Diamonds and Monopoly Multiplier. It was produced by ABF Pictures with MGOMD acting as media planners and buyers.

Oliver Wilson, Casino Acquisition Manager, commented: "We had such a fantastic response from our first Virgin Bingo ad launched last year that we decided that this was the right way to go for Virgin Casino. Bingo received a 100 per cent increase in player registrations on the back of the first adverts aired late last year and this evidence suggests it makes absolute sense for TV to play a significant part in the marketing mix for the casino product.

"TV advertising is a new strategy for Virgin Casino and we believe a natural fit. Consumers like the familiarity and security of knowing they are playing with a trusted and reputable company. Being part of the Virgin brand helps this, while TV raises awareness of the casino product and the range of slot games we offer."
The advert premieres on 1st November and will run for two weeks. It is a test campaign covering two UK regions that will test Direct Response TV prior to a national heavyweight rollout in the future. The two week campaign will run mainly on ITV and Channel 4.

The TV advertising will be supported by a range of direct response activity including PPC and Display Media. Affiliate marketing will also play a significant role in the campaign and will run through Virgin Games' in-house affiliate system.

Launched in 2004, Virgin Games is one of the UK's leading online gaming sites. To visit Virgin Games go to www.virgingames.com

PartyGaming VS Virgin Games VS MicroGaming Powered Online Casino Wars Continue

2010-09-17T01:05:00.000-07:00

PartyGaming VS Virgin Games VS MicroGaming Powered Online Casino Wars Continue

PartyGaming's brands including their mega popular PartyCasino and PartyPoker continue to maintain most popular online gaming website status in Australia for casino and poker. Richard Branson's Virgin Games is looking to move forward in the Australia Pacific, and is understood to also be in touch with Australian authorities. Microgaming powered Captain Cooks has lost a bit of steam, with newer challenger Roxy Palace Casino now offering Aussies The Lord Of The Rings - Fellowship of the Ring slot. Party's Sinatra, Cleopatra, The Godfather, Mission: Impossible, Monopoly, Wheel of Fortune, Rambo, The Terminator, King Kong and Heist are some of the most popular online slots of all for the Aussies, with their sign up bonus of $500 all told being very attractive to most punters. Many of Party's online slot games are in fact very good versions of the land based casino equivalents. In fact, IGT has its own online arm, WagerWorks, which often supplies games to both PartyCasino and Virgin Casino. Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider: Secret of the Sword is still widely regarded as the most popular Microgaming powered game, but again, PartyGaming rules for branded slots in Australia. The play for free or play for money option has also proved to be a winning formula, as are the multi currency options, and the set betting limits option. All these brands have impressive security in place, and have been established for almost 30 years between them. Aussie's have been begging for a 'Kerry Packer', 'Underbelly' and 'Andre The Giant' slot game, but it still hasn't happened, but Christmas is coming. PKR is the most popular place still for 3D poker games and now also offer sport betting, taking a little chuck out of the likes of Betfair and Centrebet. PartyGaming is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is considered the world's most successful online gambling company, and that was even before the bwin deal being announced. Movie and TV show themes remain very appealing to players, with the games being an extension of the greater entertainment industry. PartyCasino won last months Media Man 'Online Casino Of The Month' Award, with Virgin in 2nd and Captain Cooks grabbing 3rd. Congrats PartyGaming, and all others for their spirited competition.

Virgin Casino Launches Break da Bank by Microgaming

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — Virgin Casino, part of the leading online gaming company - Virgin Games, has today announced the launch of Break da Bank, a new game from Microgaming. This new slot game is the third addition by Microgaming to Virgin Casino's extensive product suite following the pair's partnership last month.

Microgaming Licenses Comic Book Hero Hellboy for New Online Slot

2010-02-07T17:00:00.000-08:00

January 12, 2010 - Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, today launches its latest flagship video slot, HELLBOY.

Licensed from Dark Horse Comics, the game introduces the iconic action hero to the world of online slots. Created by Mike Mignola, Hellboy is popular with fans today, appearing in comic books, DVDs and on the big screen.

The theme has been faithfully translated into a stunning new five reel, 20 pay-line video slot, with a comic book style presentation. The game features original characters such as Professor Trevor Brutenholm, Johann Krause, Abe Sapien, Liz Sherman and a host of others, all led by the stone-fisted and de-horned red demon, Hellboy.

Roger Raatgever, Microgaming CEO, says: “At Microgaming we believe in coupling appropriate branded content with high-quality, original games. We continually introduce pioneering, state of the art games to our customers and Hellboy is no exception. We’re sure that players will enjoy the rich visuals and comic book style action, combined with Microgaming’s innovative game play. We are delighted to be announcing the launch of this iconic branded game.”

Anita Nelson, Vice President of Sales, Marketing & Licensing at Dark Horse, commented: “We are thrilled to be associated with Microgaming, a top quality gaming company. Hellboy has a legion of loyal fans and the new slot game faithfully recreates the Hellboy world that they know and love. Hellboy is one of our most popular brands and we know that the players will appreciate this cutting edge game. “

Hellboy features as the Wild, helping players to win rewarding combinations by substituting other symbols; whilst his oversized stone fist is the Scatter, which triggers the thoroughly entertaining Underworld Bonus. This is a four-level, second screen bonus feature where players have to avoid blocked tunnels in the search for other team members and rewards, encountering beasts along the way.

Players who complete all four levels and reach the Chamber of Fire get the added rewards of the Relic of Power. This exciting feature can also be triggered in Supermode, a randomly awarded Free Spin bonus of ten spins which carry up to three held Wilds.

There is also a Gamble feature where wins can be doubled or quadrupled if the correct card suit or colour is predicted. The betting range on Hellboy offers something for every player, ranging from 0.01 to 0.25 with a maximum bet of 50.00, which can generate rewards of up to 25,000.00 in the base game, the same on Free Spins and 8,400.00 on bonuses.

Movie Review

Hellboy is a 2004 supernatural action-thriller film directed by Guillermo del Toro. The film is based on the Dark Horse Comics work Hellboy: Seed of Destruction by Mike Mignola. It was produced by Revolution Studios, and distributed by Columbia Pictures.

Released in 2004, it grossed $59 million at the U.S. box office, and $99 million worldwide and was favorably received by critics. A sequel, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, was released on July 11, 2008.

Plot

In 1944, the Nazis work with the undead Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin on an isolated island off the coast of Scotland to build a dimensional portal. They intend to use it, with Rasputin's help, to awaken the Ogdru Jahad, monstrous entities that have been imprisoned and asleep since an undisclosed time, to destroy their enemies. But Rasputin secretly intends to use the entities to bring about the destruction of the entire Earth. He is aided by his servant, Ilsa von Haupstein, to whom he has granted eternal life, and Nazi Lieutenant Colonel Karl Ruprecht Kroenen, Hitler's top assassin and head of the Thule Occult Society. The United States sends a small Army team to destroy the portal, guided by a young doctor, Professor Trevor Broom (Professor Bruttenholm in the comics), who is well-versed in the occult. In the ensuing battle, the German scientists and soldiers are killed and the portal is destroyed, in the process absorbing and apparently killing Rasputin. Ilsa and Kroenen escape capture. As the Army team surveys the ruins for anything that may have sneaked into their dimension through the portal, they discover an infant demon with a stone right hand. Broom coaxes it into his arms with a Baby Ruth candy bar. The soldiers affectionately name the little creature "Hellboy."

Sixty years later, a young FBI agent named John Myers is transferred to the B.P.R.D., run by Broom. He is introduced to Hellboy, now an adult. Also employed with the B.P.R.D. is an amphibious humanoid named Abe Sapien who has advanced psychic abilities, and Liz Sherman, a pyrokinetic who has yet to learn to control her firestarting abilities. Liz has recently left the bureau (for the thirteenth time) and checked herself into a mental hospital in an effort to protect others from her talent. Despite regular visits and coaxing from Hellboy, who appears infatuated with her, she is determined not to return.

Meanwhile, Kroenen and Ilsa resurrect Rasputin somewhere in the mountains in Moldova. Rasputin and his minions travel to New York and the Machen Library of Paranormal Artifacts. There, they smash open a display and, through magic, unleash a monstrously powerful hellhound known as Sammael. Rasputin imbues Sammael with the power to reincarnate and split his essence, causing two of the creature's "eggs" to hatch and mature in seconds each time one dies. Rasputin then visits Liz as she sleeps, reactivating her powers and causing the near-total destruction of the hospital. Afterwards, Myers talks to her, and convinces her to return to the bureau, at least for the short term.

Sammael's ability to multiply quickly becomes a major problem, as Hellboy repeatedly kills it, creating dozens. During a hunt for the beast in the sewers of New York, Abe is injured during an attempt to retrieve some of their eggs, and Kroenen kills one of the FBI agents sent with Hellboy, and Sammael kills the other two agents. Kroenen, whose mutilated body is now run by mechanic parts, then shuts himself down and pretends to be defeated just before Hellboy arrives. Kroenen's body is brought to the bureau for examination. FBI Director Tom Manning is angered by Hellboy's recklessness, which he feels is indirectly responsible for his agents' deaths. Hellboy gets mad and threatens Manning just as Liz returns, almost causing her to leave again just as quickly. Myers, in an effort to help her overcome her difficulties with Hellboy, takes her out for coffee and to talk. Hellboy, jealous, covertly follows them.

While they are away, Rasputin appears at the bureau, reanimating Kroenen before they confront Professor Broom. Out of twisted respect for Broom's protection and nurturing of Hellboy, Rasputin promises him a quick death, but first offers him a vision of the future, showing Hellboy is the agent that has destroyed the world. Rejecting Rasputin's vision of Hellboy's destiny, Broom is stabbed in the neck by Kroenen and, clutching a rosary, collapses and dies.

Manning takes over the B.P.R.D. and, with the help of Hellboy and the others, manages to find Rasputin's physical body located in his mausoleum in an old cemetery outside Moscow, Russia. A team led by Manning and Hellboy enter the mausoleum, but swiftly become separated. Hellboy and Manning find their way to Kroenen's lair, where an enraged Hellboy, with Manning's help, defeats Kroenen once and for all, to avenge the death of his father. Telling Manning to stay back, Hellboy reunites with Liz and Myers at Sammael's nest to defend them, but the creatures overwhelm him. In an effort to help, Liz, with some encouragement from Myers, ignores the fear that has prevented her from unleashing her full potential and uses her pyrokinetic powers to encase herself in fire, which she uses to incinerate the army of Sammaels and all the eggs. Unfortunately, this effect renders Hellboy, Liz and Myers unconscious and they are captured by Rasputin.

To force Hellboy to release the Ogdru Jahad, Rasputin sucks Liz's soul out of her body, telling Hellboy that Liz will come back to life only if he complies. Hellboy, not wanting to lose Liz, awakens his true power as Anung un Rama, causing his horns to regrow. He nearly releases the Ogdru Jahad, but the injured Myers reminds him of who he is and that he has the right to choose his own path. Remembering his true self and what his father brought him up to be, Hellboy snaps off his horns, returning to his former self and resealing the Ogdru Jahad. As Rasputin screams his frustration and disappointment at Hellboy, Hellboy stabs him in the belly with one of his broken horns.

However, Rasputin has one last trick up his sleeve: he is possessed by a creature from the Ogdru Jahad. The tentacled Behemoth bursts out of Rasputin's body, grows to immense size, and kills Rasputin and Ilsa. Hellboy grabs a stone sword from a nearby statue and attacks the Behemoth's tentacles, then allows himself to be swallowed while detonating a belt of live hand grenades. The subsequent explosion tears the Behemoth apart from inside, destroying it. Liz's vital signs are gone when Hellboy returns from the fight, but he whispers into her ear, and suddenly her life is restored. When she asks how her soul was returned, Hellboy replies that he simply told the creatures from the other side the cost of taking her: "Hey, you on the other side. Let her go. Because for her I'll cross over, and then you'll be sorry." She and Hellboy kiss as she surrounds them in flame, and the narrator, Myers, says that what truly makes a man is "Not how he starts things, but how he decides to end them."

Finally, the film ends with a humorous mid-credits scene, where a forgotten and frightened Manning is lost several levels down in the dank and dim halls of the mausoleum, listening to maybe the rustle of footsteps, and looking to see if there's anyone around.

Microgaming Launches Three New Games

2009-11-06T22:04:00.000-08:00

Microgaming has launched three new games:

Kings of Cash

Alaskan Fishing

Dance of the Masai

Media Advisory: Microgaming’s Latest Games Launch - 6th November 2009

STACKS OF CASH, FISHING IN ALASKA AND DANCING IN KENYA

ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming, the world’s largest provider of online gaming software, brushes away those winter blues with the addition of three new feature-rich themed video slots.

Play KINGS OF CASH for royal rewards
The latest 5 reel 15 pay-line video slot from Microgaming features the Kings from a deck of playing cards with crowns, shields and treasure chests as symbols. This jam packed game features Multiple Scatters, re-triggering Free Spins, big Multipliers, a very useful Wild, and even a colour and suit Gamble feature.

Look out for the Kings of Cash Bonus, where the number of crowns obtained can deliver Multipliers anywhere from 2x bet to an incredible 1000x the player stake.

Kings of Cash is a truly big slot with enough variety and action for every type of player, guaranteeing fun and excitement over a very reasonable betting range.

Get hooked with ALASKAN FISHING
Alaskan Fishing is the latest addition to Microgaming’s advanced slot series and has 5 reels but no traditional paylines; instead players have 243 different ways to win through Wild, Scatter, Free Spin and diverse Multiplier action.
Set in the stunning wilderness of Alaska, the slot features the beautiful waterways, mountains and forests of the great state. The slot symbols include trophies, anglers, boats, wild animals, fishing gear, salmon and even grizzly bears. Players should look out for the Alaskan Fishing logo, which is Wild and substitutes for most other theme symbols, helping players to create winning lines.

Keep on your toes with DANCE OF THE MASAI
From the cold wilds of Alaska, Microgaming transports players to the scorched plains of the Serengeti to join in with the dance of the Masai. These elegant, red-robed warriors have a unique bouncing dance that forms the theme for this 5 reel, 25 payline video slot.
Beautiful graphics and stunning backdrops take players on a journey to the sprawling plains of East Africa featuring wild animals, Masai shields and spears, and these formidable warriors themselves.

The game involves an exciting mix of Wilds, Scatters, Free Spins with Multipliers and a Warrior Special Substitute feature. When this symbol appears on reels 2 or 4, the expanding wild benefit within the game activates to cover all 3 positions on the reel it appeared on, providing additional winning opportunities.

Players feeling lucky can even try the gamble option where they could double or even quadruple their winnings.

It is set to make history again with the Grand Slam of Slots online tournament. The prize pool for the tournament is an impressive €1.3 million, with €1 million going to the winner and €50,000 to second place. The remaining 480 players will pocket between €100 and €25,000, offering players a strong chance of cashing out with significantly more than the price of the final buy-in.

Mike Hebden, Casino Channel Lead, Microgaming said: “Microgaming has always been at the forefront of gaming innovation and we are delighted to be the power behind the biggest ever online slot tournament in history which will create the first online tournament slot millionaire.”

The Grand Slam of Slots will be played on the ever popular Lara Croft Tomb Raider game. Players will get 9000 starting credits and one hour in which to accrue the most winnings, with unlimited re-buys allowed at €20 each.

Microgaming Launch Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure slot game

2009-10-16T18:29:00.000-07:00

Microgaming, the market leader in gaming software, has announced that they will be launching a new flash video slot game called Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, based on the highly popular film franchise of the late 1980s. They will also be debuting two flash versions of player favourites, Cashapillar and Avalon.

The Flash games have proven that the more the better because they allow users to play directly through their web browser, which delivers instant play.

This latest game from Microgaming is a fast-paced pub slot game with a fun and instantly recognisable theme accessible to the young and old through its exciting interactive game play. After all, the allure of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure has never waned, as it stays fresh with each generation—even if the young ones might not yet have seen the film or think Keanu Reeves is “an old man”. The game has cascading reels, two bonus feature games and a wild symbol making it even more exciting.

Cashapillar has also become an extremely successful and exciting game with Wild, Scatter, Freespins, Multiplier and Gamble opportunities in a fun, yet sometimes creepy, insect theme. The game features five symbols per reel and 100 lines.

Avalon is part of Microgaming’s epic-themed games, transporting players back into the mists of time with beautiful illustrations and the opportunity for a big win.

Microgaming, a household name in pioneering gaming software, is known in the industry for producing high-quality and innovative games.

Golden Tiger Casino and Casino Action News - 25th August 2009

2009-09-02T00:37:00.000-07:00

Two popular Casino Rewards online casinos are GoldenTigerCasino.com and CasinoAction.com

They have both become extremely well known in the online casino community for huge, regular payouts and interested free play promotions that facilitate players to enjoy the casino games at no charge before staking any money.

Last weekend, one slot machine paid out two jackpots in the space of just 2 hours at these casinos.

Maria S from Portugal hit the $56,650 jackpot and Robert M from Norway won an incredible $97,419 on the popular online progressive slot Treasure Nile.

Treasure Nile is a five reel, nine payline online slot in the theme of ancient Egypt.

The nature of the progressive jackpot means that with each bet a player makes, a portion of the bet is contributed to the jackpot total, meaning an ever-growing kitty is ready to be won by one lucky player… or in this case, two!

The European online casino CasinoAction has been in the news regularly for large jackpot wins. In June 2009, a new player from the Netherlands netted a cool half a million Dollars playing online roulette after having deposited only $40 of his own money!

For a limited time only, CasinoAction is welcoming new players with a massive $1250 for free to use for one hour on a selection of their award winning games, with money left over after the hour carried through to the real casino.

Effectively, this gives the user a risk-free opportunity to not only test the online casino games, but also to build up more free money to use as a head start in the real casino after the complimentary one hour expires, to play any game from the entire selection and aim for the huge jackpots on offer.

Currently the total of jackpots on offer at CasinoAction is an incredible $2.4 million and rising every second.

PartyGaming, Aspinalls, Titan Casino, Titan Poker, JackpotCity, Casino Club, Slots Club, Belle Rock, Euro Partners and others target Asia Pacific

2009-07-22T00:03:00.000-07:00

The past month has seen a surge of both established and not so established igaming and gaming companies make a push into the Asia Pacific region.

It appears apparent that some of the gaming entities have more than just a casual interest in Australia, judging by some of the game titles. Try "Goanna Gold", "Cool Bananas", "Kangaroo Zoo", and "Shaaark" on for size!

PartyGaming saw some of their PartyCasino.com titles enjoy a rise in popularity as Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible and Top Gun) fame, and his partner, Katie Holmes, have been spending time in Melbourne, using James Packer's Crown Towers as a base.

Aspinalls are making a push with their Aspinalls Online Casino and Aspinalls Online Poker. Aspinalls have quite a colorful history, with the late, great, John Aspinall said to have ties and friendships with Australia's Packer family. In recent years it has been reported that Australia's James Packer has done business deals with Damian Aspinall. No doubt Aspers would be most welcome to accommodate the needs of casino whales, in both an online and offline capacity. Aspinall Jr has been spotted out and about with Australia's Elle "The Body" MacPherson a number of times over the past year, so Aspers wins points for that alone.

Titan Casino and Titan Poker both Playtech powered casinos have also identified the Asia Pacific region as a go ahead region for growth. Titan have come up with some impressive and generous bonuses for signing up at their online casino brands.

JackpotCity and Lucky Nugget Online Casino, both part of the Belle Rock Entertainment family, rose to prominence in Australia last year with their promotion of blockbuster movie hits, Tomb Raider and Hitman. JackpotCity is powered by Microgaming, which incidentally is also the software that powers Australia's Captain Cooks Casino. Captain Cooks Casino is by all accounts a favorite with the Aussie's, so it looks like a battle of sorts may be on the horizon for the patronage of players who prefer Microgaming.

Casino Club and Slots Club, both powered by Boss Media, proudly have "Kangaroo Zoo" in their casino game stable. In recent months they have added more games, revamped the websites, and enhanced multi currency options.

Euro Partners, the European gaming powerhouse is embarking on a campaign pushing forward their highly respect casino brands into the Asia Pacific. Sources advise to be watching out for Casino Tropez and Europa Casino, to name but a few.

Virgin Games maintains presence in Australia and their Transformers online slot game is impossible to miss, thanks to the blockbuster movie launch last month. Virgin looks to have taken a page out of the Marvel Entertainment book, pushing forward a traditional entertainment brand. Marvel Entertainment is working on a Thor movie, so one would expect the Thor slot game to enjoy some renewed popularity. Virgin Casino top brass has recently gone on record via the Virgin.com website portal about the ups and downs of the online casino and igaming industry. Virgin's Richard Branson has approximately 200 companies in a range of industry verticals, so Virgin are certainly spreading their risk. Virgin recently ceased their Pikum! brand, however they remain one of the world's strongest and most respected brands. Let us not forget that celebrated film producer and director, Steven Spielberg has made a financial killing in the gaming sector over the decades, however it's his movie making that most of the world knows him for.

PKR.com have ramped up their progressive games and online slot game offerings, so they can expect to see more casino fans flocking to their casino, better known for the 3D casino and online poker experience. PKR are looking to continue their red hot streak in media, building upon their recent promotions tied in with the World Series of Poker, and are said to be sponsoring a number of upcoming events including the Asian Poker Tour, which is enjoying strong presence in Macau and Philippines of late.

To help cope with the current interest from the world's igaming and gaming entities, Australia's Media Man Australia, the media and publicity company, has ramped up portal development operations and also plans to launch more website portals including more for the gaming sector. MMA's Casino News Media, Australian Casino News and Classic Slots Online have been reporting a rise in rankings in recent months, as they strive to achieve Hitwise Australia top ten status. Media Man director, Greg Tingle, reckons its online a matter of time before Australian gaming figures, John "Singo" Singleton and Gerry Harvey, make a major play into Australian online gaming space, most certainly in the horse racing sector. Pokies baron, Bruce Mathieson, continues to do very well out of his pub pokies deal with Woolworths and the like. Bodog's Calvin Ayre is rumored to still being eyeing off Australia, and is making a splash on Facebook and Twitter. Media Man Australia is preparing a pitch to put to their connections at TVS Channel 31 Community TV, and sees the igaming and gaming sector as a new source of revenue for the community media sector. The gaming sector is said to be a significant source of revenue to fund Media Man's philanthropic and community endeavors, so TVS would do well to consider their pitch. Australia's SBS are said to also be open to approaches on new revenue streams, and ABC online has increased their online gaming involvement, with an online "Grandstand's Ultimate Ashes" game available, adding to their "Good Game" offerings.

The Australian government would be watching the igaming developments unfold in the US and Europe, as the game of skill vs games of chance debate continues. Now many sports betting experts are arguing that sports betting is largely a game of skill, following recent court findings on poker. You can bet that the UFC is watching this space closely and a number of sports betting operations in the US are said to have broken records with UFC 100, including BetUS.com, with the Brock Lesnar fight being the prime money maker, both for betting and Pay-Per-View buy rates. One can bet that Sen Stephen Conroy's office would have now heard of the upcoming motion picture staring Kevin Spacey, 'Casino Jack'. Spacey plays lobbyist Jack Abramoff, known for his Indian casino connections and lobbying. His career sees him land him in jail. Expect to hear whispers about the movie by the Tabcorp and Crown Casino fraternity.

Australia has seen a number more incidents at bricks and mortar hotels, pubs and casinos, so having a bet on the pokies at an online casino may be even safer and more enjoyable that one might have first thought. As always, take note of the casino and brand names and reputation, and gamblers are advised to know their limits, meaning set a financial limit and stick to it. In addition, gamblers are advised to ensure their gambling stays enjoyable, and if it stops being fun, its most likely time to stop. As the old Aussie term goes, Bet with your head, not over it.

Our friends at Gambling911, CAP, GPWA and eGaming Review see the gaming and igaming industry as being one of the world's most recession resistant industries, but certainly not recession proof.

Certainly mainstream press in Australia is starting to cover the industry in more details, with regular coverage being offered to the likes of PartyGaming, Joe Hachem (PokerStars connection) and the World Series of Poker.

Whatever side of the gaming, igaming and gambling sector you look into, there's plenty of exciting developments, be it technology advancements, legal developments or just new games, as the industry does its best to be a good corporate citizen and do the right thing by authorities, gaming regulators and players.

Record Slots Jackpot Hits $6,000,000

2009-05-10T04:08:00.000-07:00

A $6,318,533 jackpot is the stuff that dreams are made of and is the largest-ever prize pool from a progressive jackpot. Microgaming can now proudly boast the largest jackpot in the world as Mega Moolah hit over $6m.

Mega Moolah is a safari-themed game where, for as little as $6.25, you can be in with a chance to win the huge $6m prize. The last time Mega Moolah was won was in April 2008 - then it still boasted a record prize pool of over $5.5m.

The winner of Mega Moolah this time around will be the recipient of the largest online casino prize ever won in the history of the world.

Online Poker: Microgaming Poker Moves Into Number 8 Spot - Gambling911 - 3rd April 2009

2009-04-03T19:58:00.000-07:00

PokerSiteScout.com has now moved Microgaming poker into the number 8 spot of online poker rooms/networks after the long established South African software brand had hovered around the lower top 15 the last few months. That move comes as PokeSiteScout has begun to list Microgaming via a breakdown of each online poker room it runs.

When taken individually, none of the Microgaming online poker rooms would manage to crack the top 12, however. Unibet/Ladbrokes exclusive room had the most average weekly real cash players this past week - 1200. The Microgaming network (which Gambling911.com presumes includes "all other skins") barely cracked 1000. Ladbrokes exclusive had just over 100 players while the Poker Time exclusive barely had 50.

The Microgaming move pushes Cake Poker down to the number 10 position. Microgaming recently lost the popular Doylesroom.com to Cake after the South African poker network bailed out of the U.S. market.

The Cereus Network, which includes two Gambling911.com behemoths - UltimateBet.com and Absolute Poker - has maintained its number 7 position in the world this past week, but by only a few real cash players more than Microgaming. Both companies will look to fight for this position on the daily basis. The Cereus Network, however, is gaining traction through its spokesperson, Annie Duke, and her appearance on Celebrity Apprentice.

The Everest Poker Network enjoyed a comfortable cushion in the number 6 position for the time being.

Some other interesting observations noted by Gambling911.com: Bodog Poker is in serious jeopardy of dropping from the top 15 of real cash players. They currently occupy the number 15 spot, while still fighting for number 14 with PKR Poker. Betfair Poker, at times, was managing to have more players online during hours considered "peak" for both establishments (Betfair does not take U.S. players while Bodog does). The good news for both poker enterprises is that there is little competition beyond the number 16 spot at this time.

PokerStars continued to maintain more than double the number of real cash players than its closest rival,, Full Tilt Poker. Both poker ventures easily cling on to the number one and number two spots, respectively.

iPoker (#3) enjoyed a healthy lead over PartyPoker (#4). The later room was well ahead of rival OnGame while that group remained in danger of giving up its number 5 spot to Everest.

Swedish poker venture, Boss Media, held onto the number 9 spot.

Dead last - the World Poker Exchange, which is part of the long established World Sports Exchange, a sports betting firm out of Antigua. According to PokerSiteScout, that group averaged a whopping 32 real cash players on average at any given time over the past week.

Microgaming Keeps Adding To Their Portfolio

2009-03-28T10:21:00.000-07:00

The Microgaming network is at it again, as they are prepping to release four new advanced video slot games on April 8th. From Mayan Pyramids, to great space journeys and a comical chicken, players have plenty to look forward to as always.

The Great Galaxy Grab

The Great Galaxy Grab is a 5 reel, 25-payline, pirate space themed slots game presented in ultra-modern, cgi-style 3D graphics. It's packed with free spins, bonuses, multipliers and an awesome feature that allows it to remember which location a player last visited in between sessions. This means that even after a player has disconnected and returns to the game, their progress along the Space Chase will still be remembered!

Mayan Princess

Mayan Princes brings back the mysterious Mayans, an ancient and fierce South American culture that disappeared centuries ago in this stunning new video slot. Free spin and double your earnings in this 5 reel, 20-payline game while slither your way to the Bonus Round, finding all sorts of goodies behind the Golden Masks.

Stunt Pilot And A Funny Chicken

Stunt Pilot is an original and entertaining 5 reel, 30 pay-line game that presents players with several different winning opportunities. Three or more Stagger Planes trigger the bonus screens, where the player must choose three stunts for the pilot to do. Each stunt successfully performed represents a score which determines how many Free Spins - up to a max of 30 - is awarded as the game develops.

As for the comical chicken, it's an amusing cartoon-style theme game called Lucky Eggsplorer. Players search for winning Scatter and Wild combinations and rewards that include multipliers, free spins, an absorbing bonus trail and a gamble feature that can double or quadruple wins. The maximum bet in Lucky Eggsplorer is 75.00, with achievable rewards as high as almost 30,000.00 in the base game and up to 89, 850.00 from Free Spins.

Roger Raatgever: 'I'm an adrenaline junkie. I seize the day and suck the marrow out of it' by Abigail Townsend - The Independent - 4th June 2006

2009-03-27T23:45:00.001-07:00

Or how one of the big players powering the growth of online gaming is an accountant who doesn't bet

So how did a non-gambling South African accountant wash up on the Isle of Man as boss of a firm that claims to be one of the world's biggest providers of online gaming software?

"It happened out of the blue," is Roger Raatgever's explanation. "I was in the rat race working in merchant banking and thought it was an exciting opportunity. I had very little knowledge about [the sector] but for me it had all the elements of excitement. I'm an adrenaline junkie. I want to seize every day and suck the marrow out of it."

And so, since 2000, seizing the day is what Raatgever has been doing, if from a rather sedate offshore haven. The low-profile but highly ambitious Microgaming came into being a little over 10 years ago, and the software that both it and its rivals develop and license has allowed online poker and other casino games to explode. The burgeoning growth of the sector - and the multi-million-pound stock market listings of operators like PartyGaming - could simply not have happened without that software.

"It has just snowballed," says Raatgever, "and I still don't believe we have scratched the surface - and we're talking about a £12bn industry here."

But while it boasts clients such as Ladbrokes, Spin Palace and 32Red, which floated earlier this year, not much is known about Microgaming. Who, for instance, owns it? Raatgever is in no mood to spill the beans. "We're a private company and the owners have asked us to respect their privacy." He says that the shareholders - though he later refuses to confirm that there is more than one - are not hiding their identities (or identity) and that the company will say who they are "when the time is right. The time is not right now. We don't need to."

As it is, a little digging and the one name that regularly crops up is Martin Moshal, a South African businessman. One online article dubs him "CyberSol" after Sol Kerzner, a fellow South African who made his name and fortune in traditional "bricks and mortar" casinos, but little else is known about him. The company declines to confirm or deny Moshal's involvement.

While such reticence is forgivable - the company is, after all, a private business - it does add to the industry's controversial reputation. Online gaming firms have been criticised, rightly or wrongly, for a host of issues. These include a lack of transparency, encouraging problem gambling, adding to consumer debt, being based in tax havens and earning a lot of their revenue from punters in the US, where internet betting is still technically illegal.

Raatgever points out that Microgaming is a software company, not an online gaming business, and further that it has nothing to hide and a reputation he is proud of. "We wouldn't have the clients we have if it was an issue. The question is answered by what we have achieved and where we have got."

PartyGaming, arguably the best-known online gaming group, is not a client but Raatgever makes no bones about saying he would "love" to have it on board. Microgaming currently powers around 120 casinos and 40 poker rooms.

As for the Isle of Man HQ, the firm now operates tax-free on the island after corporate rates were slashed from 10 per cent to zero, while income tax for individuals is being capped. It employs developers around the world but the corporate base has 42 staff, up from just two in 2001.

Raatgever says the island is "open, friendly, has a clear framework and is very welcoming" but he has not ruled out moving to the mainland, where it is currently illegal to operate a gaming site, at least until the new Gambling Act comes into force. Even then, taxes are likely to be much higher than in the offshore locations where most of the sector is based.

"As soon as there's a framework [for online businesses], we will be very happy to look at the UK. The minute we can and the minute we know, we will look. I'm not going to lie, the tax regime is significant, but it's the quality of life that keeps us there." By way of example, he says that if it takes him 10 minutes to drive to work, that's a bad morning. Most days he runs in through the island's abundant countryside.

This is not Raatgever's first stint in the UK. He was born just outside Johannesburg, but when he was six he moved to England with his mother and English stepfather. Aged 13, he returned to South Africa to complete his education and worked there until joining Microgaming. A keen sportsman - at least until he was injured on the rugby field - he is a long-term supporter of South African rugby but has adopted Liverpool as his football team.

He's enthusiastic about life in the UK and says the growth in bricks-and-mortar casinos, made possible under the Gambling Act, is "going to be great". "The exposure will raise the profile of the entire industry. We will also be looking to run their software for them, obviously."

A new, higher profile is something that interests Raatgever. Although reluctant to discuss the firm's backers, he is more than happy to talk about his plans for the business. Microgaming has hired a public relations firm and is rebranding, pulling all its differently titled software programs under one, Microgaming-branded umbrella.

His growth plan is to continue adding new clients. Acquisitions of rivals have not been ruled out - though a market listing has been, for the time being at least.

"We will look at everything and we do look at everything," he says. "We don't need to raise capital right now. I definitely see consolidation playing a part but we have the funding to do that. [As a listed company] you spend a lot of time worrying about the next press release and not having the flexibility that we do. We don't have to disclose our products - we can just get them to market before anybody knows about it."

Not all his competitors would agree: rival software firm Playtech floated on the London Stock Exchange in April and now boasts a market value of £725m. But then Raatgever knows which gambles he is prepared to take - be they relocating from South Africa to the Isle of Man, staying silent over who owns the company he runs or finding new ways to grow the business - and which ones he is not. Does, for example, he partake in the odd flutter or late-night online game of cards himself? "No, I don't," he says without a moment's hesitation. "I'm an accountant."

New Poker Championship from Microgaming

2009-03-23T16:40:00.000-07:00

European Championships of Single Table Tournaments will culminate in an Estonian live grand finale

March 23, 2009 (InfoPowa News) -- Online poker rooms on the Microgaming Poker Network have started running qualification tourneys in its newly launched Europe's first European Championships of Single Table Tournaments (ECOSTT). The satellites will culminate in a grand finale at the Reval Park Casino in Tallinn, Estonia, from 17 to 19 July 2009.

A Microgaming spokesman said that the event has been designed to find Europe’s top STT poker players, with a prize pool of €120,000 on offer, generated from qualifiers and the €2,200 buy-in for the live event, which combines the results of four individual NL Hold’em STTs. If a player gets knocked out early in Round 1 of the ECOSTT, they have another three STT rounds to accumulate points. The highest points scorers will take part in a grand final of 18 players.

"We have seen a gap in the marketplace for a European event which recognises the skills needed to be a top STT player," said the spokesman. "This tournament gives players four rounds to accumulate points for a place in a grand final, rather than suffering the disappointment of getting knocked-out by a bad beat on the first day of other major events offered elsewhere."

Finalists will receive a €4,000 package that includes a buy-in to the ECOSTT; a €550 buy-in to a NL Hold’em side event with a prize pool of €21,000; entry into a live Blackjack tournament; three nights’ accommodation; travel and spending money.

"Over 40 of the world’s leading online poker rooms use our software and the ECOSTT will be available via all our Network Operators, exclusively to their players,” the spokesman said, adding that a dedicated website has been set up with tournament information at ecostt.eu

Online qualification to the ECOSTT is available via a variety of routes -- STTs, MTTs and via Microgaming's new Rounders format, now available in Euros.

MICROGAMING TEES UP NEW TOMB RAIDER

2009-02-13T18:24:00.000-08:00

11th March 2008

Launching today is one of the most ambitious video slots yet seen in online gambling - TOMB RAIDER: SECRET OF THE SWORD. It's been almost three and a half years since she made her debut on Microgaming powered casinos and this new 5 reel 30 pay-line video slot sets new standards in every aspect of gaming.

The sequel version of the Eidos-licensed top-seller Tomb Raider, invites players to join the famous Lara Croft as she travels the world and its perils in the search for a priceless relic.

Roger Raatgever, CEO Microgaming says, "From multi-million selling console game, to movie sequels and an online gaming franchise, the Lara Croft brand has proven to be a complete success story.

"Six months ago, we set our designers a challenge - to take a modern day icon and probably the most recognisable games character in the world and create a video slot that would bring her to life in a way this industry has never seen. And they've delivered beyond our expectations. Whether you are talking graphics, gameplay or features - this slot delivers on every level and yet again Microgaming sets new industry standards in games development."

Offering hours of interactive entertainment and the chance to hit major rewards through a variety of free spins, bonuses, wild and scatter awards and free games, this beautifully crafted game faithfully captures the gripping excitement and suspense of the original movie and video series, together with unique online gambling twists and turns that make for a fully immersive experience.

With brilliant, almost photo-realistic graphics, stunning sound effects and dynamic 3D action, the game takes players to mysterious locations around the world, encountering both riches and dangerous traps in truly dynamic Tomb Raider style.

Keep a watchful eye out for the randomly triggered Super Mode, where 5 Free Spins are awarded and Lara acrobatically swings in 3D style to turn a random position on screen to Wild, bringing with her the prospect of significant wins.

But the adventure is only beginning...find 3, 4 or 5 scattered Keys and 10 Free Spins are awarded, each containing the Rolling Reels feature, where consecutive wins can award up to a maximum of a 5x multiplier. This innovative feature is something special, and can lead to many more winning chances.

The finale of this game culminates in the interactive Global Adventure Bonus, where Lara's agility and treasure hunting expertise are put to the test. Players assist the famous adventuress as she searches across the planet to harvest reward opportunities.

Hidden Treasures add to the excitement, each offering its own surprises, and in the Shootout bonus players can win more multipliers by selecting the right disc in a highly interactive bonus game with a richly themed storyline that will keep players on the edge of their seats.

Marvel Slots Online Showcases Movie Slots Hitman and Tomb Raider

2009-02-13T13:22:00.000-08:00

14th February 2009

Marvel Slots Online, the popular website portal for all things Marvel slots, has branched out due to industry demand and is now showcasing games which are non Marvel branded.

Marvel Slots Online and Media Man Australia director Greg Tingle said, "Numerous agencies and a number of game players have been asking us for while now about featuring more games, not just Marvel games, so we have made the decision to give the corporates and punters what they want and provide more game themes across a variety of games. Marvel makes great comics, films and games, but there's many other brands putting out fantastic move themed slots with massive appeal so that's the direction we're going in".

Marvel Slots Online is dedicated to Stan Lee, Marvel Comics icon, who incidentally has been recently in legal discussions with Marvel and a number of other entities on complicated copyright issues.

Marvel Slots Online newest game editions will be Microgaming's Tomb Raider and Hitman, and other entities expected to follow suit and launch games on the portal include PartyGaming (PartyCasino.com), Virgin Games and PKR.

Media Man Australia director and founder, Greg Tingle, has a business arrangement in place with an agency representing the JackpotCity branded games, Tomb Raider and Hitman.

Marvel Slots Online is part of the Media Man Australia group which includes Casino News Media, Australian Casino News and Australian Sports Entertainment.
