New Microgaming Live Dealer Games at Bulldog777 Casino
Bulldog777, the leading online casino, has rolled out new live dealer games at its site, to offer players all the convenience of online gambling with the personal touch of live casino dealers. The new games include live roulette, live multi player roulette, live multi player baccarat, live multiplayer blackjack and live dragon bonus baccarat. The games are part of Microgaming’s new Diamond Edition live dealer products and have already become a hit with players at the site.
One excited players said about the offering: “If this gets any more like sitting in an actual casino I’m going to have to wear more than just my boxer shorts when I play! The dealer’s right there on the screen, you watch her shuffle the cards. The multi player casino games are cool - you can see other players placing their bets. The only thing missing now is waitress service and something tells me it won’t be long before they figure out a way to do that over the internet too!”
Bulldog777.com offers players a wide range of online casino games to try out, including the brand new The Dark Knight slots game. In addition, players will be able to enjoy card and table games at this site.
Grande Vegas Casino Running iPad Promotion
Players wanting to get their hands on a brand new Apple iPad should head on down to Grande Vegas Casino and try their luck at a super promotion running at the site. A leader board competition means that players have from now until July 18th to work themselves up the board to earn points, or they can win entry into a live raffle draw.
Throughout the month, players can play, deposit and wager funds at Grande Vegas Casino, earning points while they do so. All in all, the online casino is putting $5,000 worth of prizes up for grabs, including bonuses worth up to $500. The player with the most points by the end of the competition will win an Apple iPad. The second iPad will be won in the free raffle draw on July 18th.
“We asked some players what kind of prizes they’d like and the overwhelming favorite was an iPad,” said the manager of Grande Vegas online casino, Robert Miller. “So we thought if one iPad is a good prize then we’ll make it twice as good and give away two!”
All members of the casino are given one free ticket into the grand draw, while those who make deposits can boost the number of tickets they receive.
British Woman Goes on Winning Spree at Slotastic Casino
Slotastic Casino was thrilled to report that one of its players enjoyed a fantastic winning spree, after changing her mind at the last moment about withdrawing her money.
Gloria H., a 60 year old business owner, was enjoying time at one of her favorite online casinos when she decide that she had won enough and should heed the sage advice of quitting while ahead.
“It all started June 20th when I managed to win about $12,000,” she recalled. “What a feeling! I thought about it for a few days and then I thought I really should just withdraw my winnings, quit while I was ahead.”
However, something told her to keep going, and Gloria H. cancelled the withdrawal request and decided to use her winnings to gamble more.
“Sometimes when you feel like luck is on your side maybe the smartest thing to do is just keep playing,” said Gloria H. “And that’s just what I did. I couldn’t believe it a couple of days later when I was up almost $100,000. I still can’t! Now it’s time to quit – for awhile anyway.”
Bitar Released on Bail
The Chief Executive Officer of Full Tilt Poker, Ray Bitar, who failed to meet bail requirements over the weekend, after his arrest in New York last week, was on his way home to California on Monday after his lawyers managed to convince the judge that he should be released on bail.
Federal Judge Paul Engelmayer extended the bail requirements to $2.5 million, with $2 million of that in property in cash, as a safeguard to ensure that he returns to Manhattan when his trial begins. Bitar is charged, among other things, with running a Ponzi scheme through the embattled online poker site, Full Tilt Poker, and denying thousands of players the opportunity to withdraw their funds which have been tied up in the site since April 2011.
Since Black Friday, Bitar has been living in Ireland and, according to his lawyers, working hard to find a solution for Full Tilt Poker players. The DOJ, however, claims that Bitar channeled funds from the site to his own personal account even after they seized Full Tilt Poker’s domain name last year.
