The terms in slot machines

January 22nd, 2013 / No Comments » / by admin

Playing slot machines is actually not hard at all. But before you start there are several things you really should learn, because knowing them can make the process of spinning the reels and pushing the buttons a great deal more fun. We give you the list of the words and word-combinations that you need to know to play online slots smoothly.

A Pay line is an imaginary line that crosses some of the reels or all of them at once (it depends on the type of the game a gambler is playing). They use the Pay lines for calculating the how many coins a player can potentially win. A single pay line is typical for the Classic reels and there can be over twenty pay lines in the newer reels.

The Coins are what they play in the round. Do not miss it with the Denominations (the face value of every coin). Maximum 3 to 5 coins can be played per pay line in most of the casinos.

The House Edge is the percentage of the wagers and bets that will go in casino’s favor as the revenue. The usual house edge for the slot machines is two to eight percent, which means that each dollar that a player spends on the machine brings the casino 2 to 8 percent revenue. The same is true for every spent British Pound and so on. Read more…

Frank Miller’s Sin City debuts

June 23rd, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

The new online slot Frank Miller’s Sin City has been launched at Party Casino, offering 50 pay-lines across 5 reels, wild and 2 scatter symbols, free spins, and multipliers.

The theme is based on the comic title of the same name, authored by comic legend Frank Miller.

Sin City originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents: Fifth Anniversary Special in April 1991, and ever since then Miller’s groundbreaking ‘comics noir’ have found their way into the public consciousness with toys, games, and a feature-length motion picture.

Frank Miller’s Sin City remains one of the most stylised works in the history of the medium, drawing heavily from film noir, including its use of shadow and stark backgrounds. The black-and-white comic was perfectly suited to the original format of Dark Horse’s flagship anthology, with occasional spot usage of primary colours added to later volumes and editions.

“Frank Miller’s Sin City is a very different online slot to any other we have launched in recent times,” said a spokesman for PartyCasino, pointing to the striking artwork and mature content.

There are five featured games, which win the player free spins and multipliers: “Straight to Hell,” “The Hard Goodbye,” “He Never Screams,” “Deadly Little Miho,” and “Just Get Warmed Up.”

The games feature the series’ main characters: Hartigan, Nancy, Miho, Marv, Kevin, the Yellow B*stard, and Dwight. The game includes mature content and scenes of violence, nudity, and deprivation.

June 7th, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

Online gambling’s newest regulator, the Channel Island of Jersey is set to welcome delegates to the Gaming Regulators European Forum (GREF) this week.

GREF meets annually in plenary session, but also hosts a number of smaller working group meetings during the year.

A Jersey government announcement said that Minister for Economic Development, Senator Alan Maclean, will welcome European gambling regulators to their annual conference which is being held at the Radisson Blu Waterfront Hotel on the island from 8-10 June.

GREF consists of representatives from gaming regulatory organisations across Europe and was founded in 1989 as an association of gambling regulators. Participation is only open to representatives from governmental or state-appointed institutions.

Their 2 main objects, as stated in its constitution, are to provide a forum in which European gaming regulators can meet, exchange views and information and discuss policy on gaming matters; and on special occasions and with the agreement of participants, represent the different views of European gaming regulators.

Senator Maclean will open the conference and said this week: “GREF is an important gathering of regulators whose members are at the cutting edge of regulation in the world’s most developed and competitive market.

“Having successfully delivered a new e-gambling licensing regime and launched the newly independent Jersey Gambling Commission, it is gratifying to see Jersey chosen as the location for this prestigious event.”

“Life changing” half a million win for lucky punter

June 4th, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

The “Deal or No Deal” slot exclusive to GameSys’ Jackpotjoy paid out a life-changing win of £511,103 to a lucky player identified as Annette M . “I am a 500K Winner! Very, very, very happy and in total shock with the win. I have no words and think I am still in big shock. It is very unreal to win that amount of money I tell you,” said Annette.

The online casino version of “Deal or No Deal” is taken from the hit television show and is played in much the same way.

Another lucky punter, Jamie M, won £386,603 on the same slot towards the end of last month (May) at Jackpotjoy.

Things get nasty in row between Tiltware and poker pro

June 2nd, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

The launch of poker pro Phil Ivey’s legal action against online poker provider Tiltware earlier this week has been ridiculed by the defendant company.

In a statement Wednesday, Tiltware came out fighting, asserting:

“Contrary to his sanctimonious public statements, Phil Ivey’s meritless lawsuit is about helping just one player – himself. In an effort to further enrich himself at the expense of others, Mr. Ivey appears to have timed his lawsuit to thwart pending deals with several parties that would put money back in players’ pockets.

“In fact, Mr. Ivey has been invited — and has declined — to take actions that could assist the company in these efforts, including paying back a large sum of money he owes the site.

“Tiltware doubts Mr. Ivey’s frivolous and self-serving lawsuit will ever get to court. But if it does, the company looks forward to presenting facts demonstrating that Mr. Ivey is putting his own narrow financial interests ahead of the players he professes to help.”

At least one issue between the two entities appears to be Tiltware’s refusal to free Ivey from his sponsorship commitments to the company.

Costa Rica requests assistance in Rimola probe

May 23rd, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

The recent raids on Absolute Poker associates in Costa Rica, which are themselves indirectly related to the Black Friday US federal indictments, spawned another law enforcement inquiry over the weekend, when it was revealed that the Costa Rica and Panama judicial authorities are communicating.

The Panama publication Prensa reports that Guillermo Hernández, financial crimes prosecutor in Costa Rica, has confirmed that he is in contact with his opposite number in Panama regarding the activities of Olman Rimola Castillo, a one-time associate of Absolute Poker and reported operator of the company’s call centre in Costa Rica, IDS.

Rimola is alleged to have managed IDS operations that “mobilised” over $50 million, using businesses in Panama to move the funds.

The erstwhile IDS manager is currently restricted to Costa Rica through judicial restraints, but has also worked in Panama, where he at one time reportedly edited publications like The Panama Post, Juego Vivo Sport Magazine and SJO Post.

Chartwell Tech scores a major deal

May 19th, 2011 / No Comments » / by admin

The Canadian software developer Chartwell Technology has scored an important internet casino games supply deal in preparation for the new Italian regulations opening up online casino gaming, expected to be implemented around Q3 this year.

The multi- year agreement enables Italy’s giant online gambling operator Microgame to deploy Chartwell table games, card games and other online casino content via the company’s Rapid Game Deployment technology. The portfolio will include Chartwell’s latest card game, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, which was first introduced to the online world by Chartwell last month.

Microgame is the leading service provider in the Italian online gaming market today, which delivers revenues of €4.8 billion in 2010. The Italian firm provides services, solutions and games to about 100 operators with almost 150 gaming websites in what is arguably Europe’s biggest and fastest growing online gaming market, and boasts a market share of over 27% of the Italian market.

In 2010 Microgame’s customers collectively generated a gross gaming turnover of more than €1.5 billion. The company manages the brands “People’s Poker” and “People’s Bingo”, the largest poker and bingo networks in Italy.

Fabrizio D’Aloia, president and CEO of Microgame said this week: “We are certain that Chartwell’s popular content will yield great results in Italy thanks to the long and international experience of its team, combined with the market know-how of Microgame and its gaming operators.”

Dave Acorn, COO of Chartwell, responded by stating, “Microgame is the latest company to sign with Chartwell, which builds on the tremendous momentum that we have experienced this year. This agreement is a testament to the quality of our online casino games and our exemplary customer support. We look forward to working with Microgame and expanding further into the Italian market as we welcome Microgame to the Chartwell family.”

Chartwell was recently taken over by Montreal-based Amaya Gaming.
