Launch Of Slots Jungle

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:15 am

The custom online slots are those games which are exclusive to a single casino. Incidentally, this game will not be playable in other casinos powered by the same gaming software provider. These custom slots, as they are referred to, reflect the personality of the particular casino, and this feature makes them even more popular. The Slots Jungle Casino recently launched its very own custom slots called the Slots Jungle. This game uses the deep green jungle as its backdrop which is reminiscent of the casino website. The mascot is the toucan which is also the wild symbol. The toucan appears in the second, third, and fourth reels, and is stacked, which guarantees more payout opportunities. The animations are very realistic. The Slots Jungle game logo is the scatter symbol and resembles the online casino logo. This symbol offers payouts when three or higher come on the reels. The King of the Jungle is the title given to the welcome bonus at this casino. This provides up to $10,000 in cash prize. The lion symbol stands for the highest jackpot with 10,000 coins. Other animal symbols in keeping with the jungle theme are parrots, bears, tigers, gorillas, and elephants. The palm trees are the lowest paying symbols and these can be seen almost everywhere in the online casino. The Slots Jungle has been powered by the software provider Realtime Gaming and offers many features like the free spins rounds and the unique win–win feature. Those who fail to win during the free spin rounds are given compensatory prizes. Along with the regular Realtime Gaming features, there are some other additional features like the Auto Play and two-tier progressive jackpot that can be randomly triggered.

More Android Games Launched by Microgaming

All smart phones and online game software providers now are making a beeline for Android. The largest producer of online games is no doubt Microgaming and this provider continues to enjoy a leading position even where tablets and mobile phone gaming are concerned. It continues to bring out new games regularly, a trend that recently witnessed the release of another eight brilliant games that can be played through tablets and smart phones. These games have started using the “swipe and tap” technology which has made gaming on mobile phones and smart phones a thousand times more thrilling and exciting. There is no use of keyboards here and players can simply swipe and tap through their touch screens to play these games. This new technique is being hailed as a fantastic improvement in mobile gaming technology and something that is bound to win the hearts of both the game operators and the players. The eight new games include many of the regular Microgaming slots which are very popular. Avalon rewinds players back in time of the age of King Arthur; Ladies Night is popular because of its hunky waiters, perfumes and cocktails, and the three ladies appearing on the reels. Breaking the Bank ranks high in popularity too because it offers gold ingots, cash, gold coins, and precious stones. Spring Break is the ideal vacation slots game complete with food and drinks, barbeque, swimming, and tan on the beach. The earlier games on Android were Mermaids Millions, Tomb Raider, Mega Moolah, Blackjack, Roulette, Thunderstruck, and so on.

Ontario Bids For A New Online Casino Site

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:12 am

Among the Canadian provinces, Ontario appears to be all set for launching an online casino site to be supervised and run by the provincial government. Ontario follows close on the heels of the District of British Columbia, and despite the initial hurdles, Ontario’s plan for a government-run casino seems to be on track. It was expected that this move would not be opposed by any party and the lawmakers could easily create a gambling website shortly. But, in the recent elections, the Liberals appeared to have lost some of their original power. The Conservatives therefore got the ideal opportunity to protest against the growth of online gambling in this province. What is strange is the fact that this protest was directed more at the existing lot of politicians and not so much toward the issue of gambling. The spokesperson for the Conservatives Tim Houdak believes that this new source of revenue is like handing over the keys of the cabinet holding liquor to teens and leaving them unattended for the weekend. He further suggested that since online gambling sites run by reputed and licensed companies were already open to residents of Ontario, this new development would only create more problems as the competition would grow more intense. Tim Houdak expressed his concern about the capability of the Ontario Lottery and Gambling Corporation to handle this change. Regardless of these opposing views, efforts are on to locate a company that is fit to successfully design such an online gaming site. This company should be able to take care of all operations relating to the site, starting from designing it to arranging for financial transfers.

InterCasino Promotion to usher in 2012

What better way to bring in the New Year than by organizing for fantastic giveaways to players through a Countdown promotion starting from December and continuing onto January. This casino is run by Cryptologic, and in this new promotional, the players can win up to $2010 both in credits and in cash money. Everyday new prizes will be revealed along with additional rewards and bonuses. Each day will bring forth new exciting deals so that players can enjoy the maximum festive thrills. The interested players can go through the casino website for further details about the daily promotions and check out the prizes to be won.

Playtech continues to surprise its fans

At the beginning of the year Playtech had declared that it was going to be the exclusive games software provider for the Gala Coral casino. This meant that the other game suppliers would be asked to stop their services to this casino. But, Playtech appears to have acquired one of these independent game providers called Ash Gaming. This happens to be the fourth acquisition this year for Playtech. This London-based game provider, which was founded in 2002, employs as many as 40 people and has expanded substantially since its evolution. Playtech is expected to pay about 15 million pounds now and the rest over a three-year period. Playtech has other plans to provide Ash Gaming’s other games to many online casinos through its software platform.

Landmark Slots Promo At Roxy Palace

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

There are some online slot games released by Microgaming that have become landmarks in the industry. The casinos powered by Microgaming software keep on featuring these games in their promotions from time to time. Roxy Palace Online Casino is featuring these slots games in an ongoing promotion, but this time, it has gone one step ahead, and instead of routine promotions, these games have been featured in its Double Loyalty Points promotion.

Roxy Palace promo featuring landmark slots started on Monday, November 21, and will continue till Friday, November 25. The current weekly promotion offers double the normal loyalty points to all players who wager on the featured landmark slot games at the casino.

Usually, the players earn one loyalty point on wagering ten credits on these games at Roxy Palace Online Casino, and the loyalty points earned by a player could be exchanged in increments of 1,000 with each 1,000 points corresponding to ten credits.

But, during the current promotion period, the players will be able to earn two loyalty points on wagering ten credits on the designated landmark slots and reach the 1,000 target more quickly. This will also help players to move faster up to the VIP levels.

Two of the designated slots are presently the largest progressive jackpot online slots. The Major Millions Progressive video slot is the largest of all. Basically, it was the first progressive slot game that offered a payout of more than $1 million. But, for the last three consecutive years, no player has been able to cross the $50,000 barrier. This year, at present, it is riding at $1.5 million.

Mega Moolah is another progressive jackpot slot game in the Roxy Palace Online Casino’s “Double Loyalty Points” promotion. This particular landmark slot game is reset at $1 million, and as a result, it is guaranteed to hit over $1 million every time. A lucky player hit over $3.8 million just over a month ago. At this time, it is running at $1.4 million.

Thunderstruck is the third designated game in the featured Landmark Slots promotion at the Roxy Palace Online Casino. Thunderstruck II has been launched in the market as its makeover, but the popularity for the original game has not diminished. The older version is popular for its amazing animations and bold graphics. Based on Norse mythology, the hero of this game is Thor, the Norse god of thunder. The game features free spins and a gamble game.

Isis is the fourth designated game for “Double Loyalty Points” promotion on Roxy Palace Online Casino. Themed on Egyptian mythology, it is a video slot game with ornately crafted symbols. The main highlights of the game are a jackpot of 10,000 coins and a free-spins round with an up to six-times multiplier.

Mad Hatters is the fifth and last designated slot game for this weekly promotion. Featuring a number of Mad Hatters and the delicious goodies at the Alice in Wonderland Tea Party, it is worth playing. The double loyalty points are a bonus. The opportunity should not be missed because it associates fun with double earnings.
