After PKR has succesfully introduced 3D into the online poker world it is now still trying to shake up online casinos with 3D. Besides regular casino games (playtech software) PKR was allready offering the great game Deal or No Deal in 3D. The newest addition to these 3D games is 3D Roulette.

In PKR the game European Roulette can now be played in 3D. Notice however the 3D Roulette is available in your PKR (poker) software, not your PKR Casino software. Just like the PKR poker tables you can customize your own avatar and pretend to be someone completely different.

Go to PKR Casino ::

Once at the roulette table there is actually limited amount of 3D motion. The dealer spins the roulette wheel which looks pretty neet. The camera follows the bal around on the wheel. However when betting the avatar hardly even looks up when bets are made, there is also no animation of your character to put the chips at the correct place, this a missed opportunity! Maybe more people at the table might have made it more interesting as well, now it is just me sitting there alone with the dealer.

If you like to give it a go yourself you can go to your PKR software and select 3D Roulette under “Games”. You will need to download the new software first, takes less than a minute, and after a quick install you can walk up to the roulette tables! When you are interested in other casino games at PKR please read our review.

Attention: This promotion is only available to Palladium Lounge players, if you can’t see this promotions in your account you can not qualify.

At the time GAMAGO told reporters that he was shocked by the win, and did not know yet what to do with that amount of money. Within a month, he already lost $2 million of his winnings into the online casino. This became clear after Finance director Martin Weigold of PartyGaming told reporters that the fourth quarter results of 2009 were boosted by a customer that recycled $2 million of his jackpot winnings into PartyCasino.

GAMAGO is a highly valued customer of PartyCasino, being a member of the Palladium Lounge, the VIP program of PartyGaming. In his statement after winning the record breaking jackpot he told reporters that he had already won jackpots of $50,000 and $100,000 leading to the obvious conclusion that he must be a frequent player.

We can’t wait for PartyCasino to release its first quarterly results of 2010 to see if GAMAGO managed to keep the remaining $3 million in his pockets.

This very popular promotion is also in February 2010 available for all PartyCasino players. Besides 100% more PartyPoints also extra prices can be won at these two Slot-tastic Sundays.

The iPad is about 1.5 pounds, runs at 1024×768 and is equiped with WIFI, 3G and bluetooth. This new tablet device is created to enhanche internet use like browsing, reading e-books and most likely online gaming.

Up to now being able to play online games and online casino’s was possible at your cell phone but not really comfortable. Most casino’s have difficulty’s bringing the complete blackjack tables to small phone screens. Also controls were often lacking, overall casino experience can’t compete with a regular laptop and dekstop.

With the Apple iPad online gaming and online gambling might see a new boost. When the iPad gaines popularity like the iPhone and the iPod did the iPad might convince software developers to create their casino software in such a way best playable on this iPad. They will also have to adapt their software to the full multi-touch Apple has put in the iPad.

Wheter or not this will be a succes remains to be seen but we are confident software operators are allready looking into all the possibilities. Before you know it you might be playing a game of blackjack at PartyCasino in the train home from work!

Casinomeister honored 32Red for their transparency and personal player support, two important things that every casino operator should strive for. Casino bonuses are a highly common thing in the industry, but they often carry thousands of complicated rules before a player is entitled to cash it out. 32Red has always been transparent about the bonus rules, making an example for some of its competitors.

32Red Online Casino has been in operation since 2000 and was founded by Ed Ware, who left Ladbrokers to start his own online casino. The casino offers a variety of table games and slot machines, including the famous Tomb Raider – The Secret of the Sword. The casino is part of 32Red Plc, listed at the London Stock Exchange.

CEO Ed Ware was happy to receive the award and mentioned that 32Red will strive to stay on top of the online casino industry.

The Fontainebleau Las Vegas is a development project which started as a $2.9 billion project what should become a 68 story building with almost 4,000 hotel rooms. The work on the project was stopped last year, it is now about 70% finished. In june 2009 the Fontainebleau Las Vegas company filed for Chapter 11 bankrupcy. Estimations are about $1.3 to $1.5 billion is still needed to complete the project.

What the billionaire investor Carl Icahn is going to do with the project remains unknown. He allready is in control on 9 other casino’s as part of the Tropicana Entertainment group. Investing big and getting the casino up and running might seem risky in a downfall economy, but on the other hand just sitting on it and waiting for better times might also not be the best plan.

Two weeks ago Carl Icahn was in the spotlights for showing interest in buying the Trump Casino’s. It seems he is on the move in times of financial crisis.

This gives Harrah’s a total of 22,866 hotel rooms at the strip in Las Vegas. Other hotels belonging to Harrah’s are Caesars Palace, Rio, Harrah’s Las Vegas and the Flamingo Las Vegas. With 9 hotels in total and almost 23 thousands rooms on the strip Harrah’s is still far behind competitor MGM Mirage which is in control of almost 41,000 rooms at the strip.

It remains unknown what amounts of money are involved with this deal. In september 2009 Planet Hollywood reported a debt of $869.9 million. Sheraton Operating Corp, who is in control of current management is still owed $3.7 million. Even though Harrah’s might be a very large gambling company, it also reported a serious debt of $19.3 billion in 2009. I am looking forward to seeing how Harrah’s will use Planet Hollywood to turn this around.

Sega’s latest strategic move surprises me a bit however. The gaming company announced to get involved in the online gambling market, and wants to take it by storm. They partnered with Playtech and will soon launch their SegaCasino.com and SegaPoker.com. By partnering a strong name in gaming with a strong brand in gambling, I’m expecting to see some radical innovations in the online gambling world soon. I’m looking forward to it!
