Golden Casino, one of the best and most respected online casinos in the business, has announced it will be leaving the U.S. market starting December 1st. This move will not affect existing accounts that are based in the U.S., but all new accounts will have to be from outside the country.

Since all existing accounts will be allowed to stay open and their account balances honored, and since Golden Casino has been the hallmark of the online casino business, new players can make an account in the next couple of weeks, or simply sign up with one of the other brands.

This new policy is due to the change of ownership of Golden Casino and therefore the other brands, Online Vegas and Go Casino, will continue to accept American players, even after December 1st.

Sic Bo, also sometimes called Big and Small or Hi-Lo, is a game of chance played with three dice. The game is of ancient Chinese origin and is very popular in Asia, as well as European and American casinos.

Cherry Red offers the classic version of Sic Bo in which players predict what will come up with the toss of the dice. Players can bet on specific numbers, a pair of numbers, a three of a kind roll, or a whole series of other possibilities. Obviously, the rarer the combination, the higher the payout.

The Mid-Life Crisis Progressive Jackpot has been climbing steadily recently and the main jackpot now stands at just under $1 Million. Mid-Life Crisis is a video slot with 5 reels and 9 paylines. The standard coin is $.25, but to bet max on all 9 lines (and therefore be eligible for the progressive jackpot), a player has to bet 45 coins. That's $11.25 per spin in the hopes of winning about $1 Million.

Since this progressive slot is a part of the Realtime Gaming software network it is available at several casinos I have reviewed here at OGP, Rushmore Casino, Cherry Red, and Slots Oasis.

Rome Casino has ten methods of depositing and withdrawing funds to an account. The first way to deposit, the most obvious, and the most efficient is the use of credit cards; Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. While Rome accepts these credit cards, the credit card companies themselves will not always allow the funds to go through, usually for American players but not always. There's no point in not trying though.

There are also the EcoCard, Use My Wallet, eWalletXpress, NETeller, Echeck, Wire Transfer, Click2Pay, Moneybookers, and Diners Club International options. These are all well established methods and players can use them with confidence. First time withdrawals will require a form to authenticate the person is who they say they are, but after that process is completed it's easy going from there on.

I've just received some great news from the good people at Golden Casino concerning their September slots tournament line-up. It seems they're moving up from simply doing one major free tournament per month and casino players can look forward to three huge tournaments during September.

All three will have re-buys for people who aren't satisfied (or are a little unlucky) with their first run. And the prizes are big, from a guaranteed $2,009 all the way up to the big Labor Day tournament with a prize pool of at least $100,000.

Golden Casino will be starting a $15,000 guaranteed slot tournament in honor of Michael Jackson's passing, starting on August 21st and lasting eight days. The guarantee means that no matter how many people sign up, there will be at least $15,000 in cash prizes given out to the winners.

Situations like this one always raise the question of poor taste, and whether or not Golden Casino should really be doing this. I thought about that before mentioning the tournament, but it's also true that Golden Casino runs these kinds of tournaments every month, so even if Michael Jackson were still getting ready to perform in London, there would be a $15,000 slot tournament taking place at the casino. It really is about remembering Michael Jackson.

Online casinos using the Realtime Gaming software package have been offering live Blackjack tournaments for a while now, and they have certainly proved popular. The comparisons to poker are obvious, the house does not get an edge and only works as a dealer, and it lets casino players compete against each other, something that isn't done in regular casino games.

Sites like Rushmore Casino, Cherry Red, and Lucky 18 all offer these live tournaments. The single table option runs 24/7, has a one on one or sit and go option, and lasts ten rounds. Multi table tournaments are scheduled daily, have different skill levels, and the prize pools get larger the more entrants there are.

In an industry that rarely sees new games, other than slot machines and video poker games, something like Blackjack tournaments is very exciting. It's new, but based off a classic game, and has already proven to be a success judging by its' popularity.

From Slots Oasis comes another five reel, 25-payline slot machine called King of Swing. King of Swing is a baseball themed slot featuring symbols like a trophy, hot dogs, soft drinks, batting helmets, trading cards, and more. Slots Oasis is a great casino for enjoying all casino games, but especially slots as they have such a wide variety.

The slot has a random jackpot usually worth more than one thousand dollars for the next lucky winner. There is also a fun win-win bonus feature activated by getting a Pitcher on reel 1 and a Batter on reel 5. On top of all that, any time a pitcher or batter is included in a winning combination, a player's payday is tripled for that combo.

Craps is one of the funnest and most popular table games, sometimes referred to as a specialty game, available in casinos. People love the excitement of enjoying a game in big crowds and physically taking part in the game with a throw of the dice. And there are so many betting options that the game is enticing to both amateurs and experts.

Cherry Red has a great looking Craps table that offers all the bets people could want in this game. I don't even know most of the bets; for me (a Roulette fan) the game is all about the Pass Line and then the specific rolls, come on Hard Eight. But Craps fans should be very happy at Cherry Red, good luck.
