New Games at All Slots Casino

2008-09-22T14:00:00Z

An announcement from All Slots, showing why it is viewed by myself and many others as one of the best online casinos on the web. The dedication to a constantly improved service shows itself in many ways, one of them being the regular introduction of new casino games. Descriptions of the games with screenshots:

First Past the Post Video Slot
Time for a day at the races! The thrills and rewards of the race track sets the theme of FIRST PAST THE POST video slot.
This 5 reel, 25 pay-line thriller, entices the player with its style and exciting nature. The player is drawn into the excitement of the sport of kings with all the fun and sounds of the race track and the opportunity to gamble on a favored horse.
Stylish and lively graphics provide the backdrop, featuring well known images of the sport together with the horses, champagne and trophies that characterize this ancient sport.
Sir Winsalot Video Slot
Sweep up the straw, lay out the castle long tables and breach the ale kegs to welcome SIR WINSALOT, the latest new medieval themed, 5 reel 20 pay-line video slot.
Here's a game that lives up to its noble name, with the opportunity to score through two different Scatter options, a Wild Knight to create those winning line combinations, up to 10 Free Spins with a 3x multiplier and a fun second screen bonus game.
It's all presented on a lively medieval feast theme carried by outstanding color graphics of delectable damsels, jolly jesters and meandering minstrels, with bejeweled goblets, the dashing Sir Winsalot in full armor and treasures aplenty.
Deuces Wild Level-Up Poker
This month's DEUCES WILD LEVEL UP POKER is the second game in the new Multi Level Power Poker series which began with the popular Jacks or Better game.

New Huge Welcome Bonus at Golden Tiger Casino

2008-09-10T03:22:37Z

With the increasing popularity of sign-up bonuses that give players a bundle of cash for the first hour, it makes sense that these particular bonuses are going to get bigger and bigger. Previously, the biggest of these bonuses was offered by Lucky Nugget and was worth $1,000 to new players. But now players looking for the biggest welcome bonus around should head on over to Golden Tiger Casino and get $1,500 for that first hour. Even though it's a new promotion this is still only good for new players to the casino, so if you don't have an account already and are looking for a casino to play at, visit Golden Tiger's website for more detailed information on the bonus and a fast, free download of the software.

I consider this is a great type of promotion for two reasons. First off, players who are new to online casinos and want to give the software a test drive before depositing any cash will have a full $1,500 to gamble with and use to get comfortable with the casino program. Secondly, players who are familiar with online casinos but who don't have an account at Golden Tiger can join up in a matter of minutes and take a shot at winning some big bucks on the house's dime.

High Roller's Bonus at Rushmore Casino

2008-09-09T00:31:26Z

Anyone looking for a big cash bonus from online casinos should make sure to take a look at Rushmore Casino. Rushmore is relatively new in the online casino business, but they've come out with a bang; a flashy website, a huge $888 bonus, and the popular RealTime Gaming software used by several other casinos, including Bodog. The bonus is based off a player's first two deposits, the first is a matching bonus of up to $400 and the second a matching bonus of up to $488. I find that this type of bonus actually works much better for the player because most people aren't willing to deposit a full $888 during their first visit to the casino, but with the bonus split in two, players can spread them out and take better advantage of the promotion.

While Rushmore Casino is new, and some may think untested because of that, entering the casino market isn't something done at the drop of a hat. Getting the software and a domain isn't enough to ensure that players will be getting the quality of service that anyone making a cash deposit expects. A professional team combined with understanding of what it is that players are looking for are vital ingredients that go into making an online casino popular, reliable, and successful, and therefore one that I will write about on OGP.

From Rushmore's website, an example of why players should give them a spin:

We maintain a truly fair, transparent, and secure gaming environment and build long-lasting relationships with our players. To demonstrate our transparency there is a unique, built-in game and financial history feature. Any player can review every wager s/he has ever placed, including the exact date and time, amount wagered, winnings, and detailed game results. The financial transaction history displays all deposits and withdrawals from the player's casino account. Both of these features can be accessed at any time whilst online.

The Games at Blackjack Ballroom

2008-09-06T00:16:10Z

There are 284 games available at Blackjack Ballroom giving players more options than almost any other online casino. Take your pick from dozens of different slot machines and video poker games, 35 different variations of blackjack, craps, as well as three versions of roulette. It's no mystery to anyone who has spent more than one night at a casino or a few hours at an online casino that progressive jackpots are where the really big bucks are won; there are 21 progressives at Blackjack Ballroom, which includes four table games, two video poker games, and fifteen slot machines.

Blackjack Ballroom is one of the largest online casinos you can find, both in the number of games being offered and the number of players who have joined. Sporting top of the line Microgaming software, a highly professional staff, and great promotions it's easy to see why Blackjack Ballroom has become so popular and maintained such a solid reputation.

There is a combination of two sign up bonuses for new players at Blackjack Ballroom. The first is a '$500 for one Hour' promotion that lets players enjoy all the games they can in one hour with $500 on the casino's dime, at the end of which the player gets to keep the winnings. The second promotion is a straightforward 40% matching bonus; deposit any amount up to $1,000 and the casino will put up to $400 extra in your account.

NCAA Football and NFL Betting at Bodog

2008-09-03T03:35:49Z

That's right sports fans, football season has finally arrived. As everyone with a television or radio and the slightest interest in sports already knows, the NCAA football season got started last Thursday, and the NFL will be starting their regular season this Thursday the 4th. For everyone looking to make some money using their sports knowledge, or be a true fan and throw a few dollars on your favorite team no matter what the odds, then Bodog is the place to go. If you have a few dollars to spare, betting on games always makes the action more exciting, and with the possibility of making cash while you're just enjoying a football game the question quickly becomes "Why not?"

Bodog is a proven site with years of experience and a great reputation. Only a few gambling sites have reached that level in which they are known to people who aren't even interested in their services, such as Full Tilt, Golden Palace, Party Poker, and of course, Bodog. This distinction has certainly been earned; Bodog provides all the betting options an experienced sports bettor could want and they do it with a system so easy that amateurs will be placing bets in a matter of minutes.

The new BodogLIVE feature is an interesting addition which adds live options and has the potential to make sports betting and game watching even more exciting. Bodog explains it:

With the introduction of BodogLIVE, the Bodog Sportsbook springs into the future of betting in a big way, allowing players to wager on sports action as it happens. BodogLIVE players can wager on every play in football, basketball and baseball - a feature that provides a new level of excitement in sports entertainment.

This is a licensed, customer-friendly operation run by professionals who are pioneers in the online sportsbook industry. Everyone who is interested in placing sports bets online should give them a look.

Captain Cooks Online Casino Review

2008-09-02T20:54:45Z

Players at Captain Cooks Casino can receive several interesting cash bonuses and will have the opportunity to choose from 284 casino games. Hosting such a huge array of games means that everyone will be able to find the game they're looking for, from table games like blackjack and craps to dozens of slot machines, Captain Cooks is trying very hard to say they have it all. And with a fun and unique theme, they're getting close to being able to say just that.

You can't miss it when you visit their website, but remember that all new players will get a free gift of $500 for their first hour playing at the casino. This is a great promotion which, for the casino's sake, gets you in the door so to speak, but more importantly will let players get a feel for the casino and become comfortable with the layout before cash is deposited.

Having been online for almost a decade, Captain Cooks has developed a solid reputation for high quality service and reliable cash transfers. As far as banking goes, there have been several negative developments for people who gamble online in the last few years, but Captain Cooks has rolled with the punches and kept the software up to date and the cash flowing.

The number and quality of casino games add up to provide players with the potential for an amazing casino experience, as Captain Cooks says:

With over 200 casino games available including all the standard table games, video poker, power poker, slots and Microgaming Progressive Jackpot games; Captain Cooks Casino is more than just another Microgaming casino. There are also games that you can play for as little as 1 cent so everyone has a chance to win big at the casino!

Looking at the big picture there are a lot of online casinos out there but when you start holding casinos to higher and higher standards that number dwindles fast. Captain Cooks Casino has the record, the promotions, and the software that ensures it's one of the few that will still be there as those standards get higher and higher.

Getting Started at Full Tilt Poker

2008-08-26T20:44:15Z

For some, installing software on their computer is a simple task that can be done almost without thinking about it; click a few buttons, maybe change the location and it's done. But for others, people who don't use computers very often or even at all, playing the game is what's important and it can be frustrating not being able to get the game running easily. And unlike other programs, after Full Tilt is installed players are going to be making deposits and want to be at ease knowing that the transfer is handled quickly and securely. This post breaks things down into a simple step by step process that will have you enjoying the poker game of your choice at Full Tilt in a matter of minutes.

The first thing to do is to click Full Tilt to visit their website. After a very quick download the installation program is ready to be run, this installer will then download all the updated files from Full Tilt's servers and finish installing the program. The program is installed like this, which isn't how most programs are installed, because Full Tilt regularly updates their software with new features, bonuses, and security upgrades. In other words, it ensures that every player has the newest version of the software.

When looking at Full Tilt's website recently, I noticed a new button in the top left called 'Take Our Tour' and after clicking the button an interactive pop-up opened with details on all of Full Tilt's features. This seemed like an important and useful tool for people who haven't had a chance to play poker online or see one of their friends do it; the tour highlights all of the things that you'll want to look for while logged on to the server. New players will find this helpful and can give it a look-through while their software is being downloaded and installed.

Now that you've installed the software and possibly taken the short tour, you're ready to make a deposit and start playing some poker. So far you've probably only spent a few minutes getting things to this point, and it will only take a couple more. There are a variety of banking methods available for players to use, and people living outside the U.S. have several more than those living inside. I usually have a couple hundred dollars in my account, and for me (living in the U.S.) it's possible to use my credit card to make instant deposits, I find this to be the fastest and easiest way of making deposits. For withdrawals, everyone will be able to use NETeller except for those inside the U.S., who will have to wait for a check to arrive. Full Tilt has more detailed information listing the available methods for depositing and withdrawing in the cashier section of their software.

And with the cash deposited, you can sit down at any of the thousands of different Table Games, Sit n Go's, and Tournaments and test your skills against the many players at one of the largest online poker rooms on the net. Since everyone who has read this post most likely does not have an account at Full Tilt I'll point out the welcome bonus being offered to new players; your first deposit up to $600 will be doubled by Full Tilt as you play. You won't receive the bonus all in one lump sum, this is necessary because Full Tilt can't give out money and then have players simply withdraw the free money, so players receive the cash in payments corresponding to how many hands they have played. This works out great because it turns into a steady stream of cash that is constantly added to your account as you play, and with poker a player should never sit down with their entire bankroll anyway.

Hopefully online poker newbies have found this helpful. You are now ready to enjoy poker with thousands of other players at Full Tilt.

All Jackpots' Expanded Cash-Back

2008-08-22T19:52:48Z

All Jackpots Casino has decided to expand their cash-back program to reward more active players with larger bonuses. All new players will of course be eligible for the usual $200 welcome bonus, this bonus is a doubling of your initial deposit up to $200, but now players can also receive up to $350 a month depending on how much they wager during that month. This is a 10% cash-back program so for those of you who put in a good amount of money this bonus could potentially add up to over $4,000 a year in promotions from the casino.

This is that special kind of great promotion that rewards players for simply doing what they were going to do anyway, enjoying the hundreds of casino games that All Jackpots offers.

2008-08-21T01:33:22Z

Earlier this month All Slots introduced five brand new games, three for the regular casino software and two more which are designed solely for the flash version.

Progressive Slots at Golden Casino

2008-08-11T20:43:58Z

Fans of online slot machines will be happy to know that the progressives at Golden Casino get bigger and better on a daily basis. There are currently a total of five progressive jackpots, with Red, White, & Win being the biggest, players looking for a smaller bet requirement should give Win Place or Show a spin or two.

The fun thing about online slots is that slot machines are the casino games that get represented the best on computers. Running the software in full screen mode it is easy to think you're staring at a slot machine in the casino instead of at a personal computer in your own home. It's near impossible to get the same kind of feeling when enjoying a table game such as Blackjack or Roulette.

Also, new players who visit Golden Casino are be eligible for a $555 cash welcome bonus; see their website for more details. The casino runs Vegas Technology software and accepts all U.S. players.

Multilingual Online Casino - Golden Palace

2008-08-06T22:47:45Z

Golden Palace Casino is a name known to millions of people, whether they gamble online or not. It was the crazy advertising antics that led this online casino to become the most well known and highly visited in the world until the UIGEA was passed in late 2007. Since then it has pulled out of the American market, but still serves the rest of the world and hosts their software in fourteen different languages and accepts six different currencies.

While the advertising was what raised the public's awareness of Golden Palace, it was the quality of the service that people were provided that kept them coming back for more. First off, there is a 300% sign-up bonus for all new players, up to $300 on the house in exchange for joining and making a deposit of up to $100. Afterwards, players can expect a steady stream of promotions and new games unveiled on a regular basis.

There are over 80 casino games at Golden Palace, including all of the classics people find at all casinos, dozens of slots and video poker machines, and four games that feature live dealers and multiplayer rooms. The games that come with the live feature are Baccarat, Blackjack, Roulette, and Sic Bo.

Players who aren't interested in downloading and installing software can instead choose to create an account on the Flash version of the casino. This is convenient for people who play on multiple computers or who simply don't want to install a program.

While Americans can no longer enjoy Golden Palace Casino, global players still have the opportunity to participate in one of the best online casinos around.

Millionaire Casino's High Roller Bonuses

2008-08-05T21:11:30Z

When visiting Millionaire Casino's website, people will quickly notice the elegant and straightforward design. This is a casino that has geared itself towards high rollers and it shows. With top of the line graphics and some of the highest betting limits at any online casino, Millionaire Casino specializes in serving high rollers.

People who have a little more money to wager should always take advantage of online casinos that offer a high roller bonus or a series of high roller bonuses. At Millionaire Casino, new players who create an account can receive up to $1,000 in cash from the casino over the course of their first three deposits. The first deposit up to $500 will be matched by the casino, and the next two deposits both up to $250 will also be matched by the casino, making up the grand total of $1,000. There are also lucrative loyalty programs in place that will continue to reward players if they stick around for a couple of months, a few years, or even longer.

A feature that seems to be taking all online casinos by storm is the variety and frequency of tournaments. Whether it's slots, poker, table games, or some other kind of tournament, online casinos are offering them left and right these days. Players can look forward to new tournaments every week, as Millionaire Casino says:

Millionaire Casino is excited to offer a variety of tournaments every month. Enter and play your choice of Freeroll, Slot, Blackjack, Video Poker and Hold'Em Poker Tournaments to win your share of the Prize Pool.

Golden Reef Casino Review

2008-08-05T08:07:41Z

Golden Reef is a secure, full-size online casino featuring classics like European Roulette, Vegas Craps, and dozens of video poker games and slot machines, 15 of which have progressive jackpots. Interested gamblers should download the free software and take a look at the selection of games, tournaments, and cash bonuses available. Having been open for business since 1999, Golden Reef has had almost a decade in which to become a reliable, secure, and extremely fun online casino. It's my experience that they do not disappoint.

When a new gambler joins and creates an account at Golden Reef, they are automatically eligible for a $100 welcome bonus. In order to collect on this bonus simply make a first deposit and the casino will double the amount put in. There are, of course, other promotions for players who spend time at the casino; loyalty points are earned while the player gambles and there is a refer a friend option. See Golden Reef's website for more details.

Microgaming software, which Golden Reef uses, has been around for years and people should be able to download and install the program with ease. Banking options are easily accessible once logged in, just click the Cashier button. But if you should run into any weird problems while installing or running the software, or if you have any questions of any other kind, just contact the casino's customer support, open 24/7.

Enjoy yourselves at Golden Reef, it truly is a great online casino that offers exceptional service and many casino game options.
