Bonus Round Doubles Winnings and Fortune WheelGives Extra Wilds with up to 5x Multipliers
WinADayCasino.com has launched a new online slot machine that brings the thrills of America’s favourite television game show to an exciting new one-of-a-kind slot machine. The new Win A Fortune has a nail-biting double-or-nothing Double Bonus Round and a Fortune Wheel that gives additional Wild symbols with up to 5x multipliers. As it does every time a new game is launched, the unique online casino is giving players extra bonuses to take the new game for a spin.
Everyone that logs on to WinADayCasino.com during Win A Fortune launch week (October 16 – 22) will automatically get $10 added to their account just to try the new game. Everyone that plays at least 10 rounds is automatically entered in a free draw for another $2500 in bonuses with one lucky Win A Fortune player winning $1000. The 20 players that wager the most on Win a Fortune next week will split another $2500 in prizes with the Best Better receiving $500. Contest and bonus details are available by clicking Promotions on the site.
Win A Fortune is a 5 reel 15 pay line slot machine that’s really three games in one: the classic slot machine game, the Double Bonus game and the Fortune Wheel. A Double symbol on the rightmost reel triggers the Double Bonus Game where players can double the last spin’s winnings, and continue doubling them until they reach the top level of the flashing jackpot ladder.
Inspired by the popular American television game show, the Fortune Wheel above the slot machine reels has two wheels. It is triggered when the Fortune Wheel symbol appears on the fifth reel of the slots game below. The outer wheel determines which symbol will be wild in the main game and the win from the last round on the slot machine is re-calculated using the new Wild symbol as soon as the Fortune Wheel stops turning. The Inner Wheel gives the multiplier up to 5x.
Whenever one or more Chest symbols appear anywhere on the pay lines, a Treasure Chest opens to reveal additional symbols that when combined with the reel symbols can create winning combinations.
5 diamonds on one pay line with at minimum $5 bet wins the WinADay progressive jackpot that’s currently over $125,000.
After adding the mystical Jackpot Jinni slot machine only last month, Win A Fortune now makes 19 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, multi-hand keno and roulette games at the unique instant-play online casino.

Online Slots Player's Wife Going on Dream Vacation Thanks to Hubbie's $96,466 Progressive Jackpot Win
WinADayCasino.com had its second major jackpot winner of the summer when Glenn P. won $96,466 playing the new Leprechaun Luck slot machine last week. The winner, who’s been spinning the reels at WinADay practically since it was launched by Slotland.com, said he plans to take his wife on a dream vacation with his jackpot prize money.
“The first time I went to WinADay I thought, hmm, this is different. I’d played at a few online slots sites but I’d never seen anything like their unusual slot machines!” said Glenn P. “Then they just kept adding more new games so I just kept playing there. Who knew one day I’d hit a big jackpot like this!?”
All of the one-of-a-kind slots games at WinADayCasino.com are linked to one progressive jackpot which is why they increase in value so quickly. Although $96K is a nice win by anyone’s standards, it’s actually a little lower than the average jackpot win at WinADay which is about $150,000. The last big jackpot win was in June when a film student won over $200,000 playing the Jacks Show video poker game.
“Considering this player hit the jackpot playing Leprechaun Luck,” said WinADay manager Michael Hilary, “I hope he’s including Ireland on the big European vacation he told us he’d be taking with his winnings!”
Launched last St Patrick’s Day, Leprechaun Luck is a 5-reel, 31-payline slot machine adorned with shamrocks, rainbows and pots of gold. It features Wild and Double Wild symbols, a Cauldron bonus and an adventurous Bonus Game. Spinning five rainbows with a bet of at least $5 on the winning pay line, as Glenn P. did last week, wins the jackpot.
After adding a new European Roulette game, La Roulette, last month, WinADay now has 17 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker and roulette games. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.
This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.
The jackpot was reset to $30,000 after this win and has been increasing quickly since then.

Online Poker Players Turning Cents into Dollars at New Penny Auction Site
First auction winner gets $20 poker cash for only $.11
Since launching earlier this month Bidibot.com, the new poker penny auction site, has enabled online players to buy hundreds in poker cash for mere pennies. The site auctions credits of $10 to $100 or more which are frequently won for just a few cents. In Bidibot’s very first auction the winning bidder purchased a $20 poker credit redeemable at GCasino.com for only $.11.
“I think I only placed two bids to win my first auction for the bargain price of 11 cents!” said the happy auction winner K.Thornton. “It was so easy to use and I even placed my bid from my iPhone. I’m such a bad poker player so all the credit I can get is a good thing. I’ve been recommending Bidibot to my friends and they just can’t believe how much real casino cash they can get for just less than a buck.”
At Bidibot.com, players bid on auctions of poker tournament packages, poker chips and credit. They can place as many bids as they like until the auction is over. Auctions start at $0.00 with a countdown timer of approximately five minutes. Each bid in the auction is set at a fixed price of $0.01 and every time a bid is placed, thirty seconds is added to the countdown timer. When the timer hits zero, the last person to bid wins the auction item.
“We’re the eBay of poker rooms!” said John Tabatabai, CEO of Bidibot. “We started this site to make playing poker games more affordable. Spending a dime to get $50 in your poker account certainly does that!”
The one-of-a-kind site currently offers credits at participating poker rooms including Victory Poker, Betfair, PKR, InterPoker, and GCasino. Bigger prizes and potentially bigger bargains are coming soon. Partnering with GCasino, Bidibot has secured a wide variety of seats and travel packages for the popular Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.
Beginning in September, Bidibot will auction tournament entries from £100 side events up to the £2,500 Grand Final. If the experience on the site to date is any indication those could go for a song.
Bidibot will present a Live Auction Tent at Poker in the Park in London later this month where visitors will have a chance to win one of 5 iPads.

Prepaid Mastercard Card Makes Transactions Easier at Playtech-powered Casinos
Software integration gives Playtech licensees access to quick and easy prepaid card payments, with no integration or setup requirements
Prepaid MasterCard cards from Intercash, are now making deposits and withdrawals quicker and easier at prominent online casinos at Playtech. Integration of the Intercash card in the Playtech software means that operators require no special integration or setup to begin offering players prepaid MasterCard cards as a convenient, reliable payment option.
Using the Intercash prepaid platform, players’ winnings are deposited directly onto their card, which can then be used at any of the 29 million ATMs or points-of-sale (POS) on the MasterCard network, or to deposit them back to any of their online casino accounts.
Initially, 18 Playtech powered casinos of the Fastengine group will offer the new Intercash prepaid MasterCard® card as a deposit/withdrawal option. These casinos include Titan, Europa, Tropez and Vegas Red. Affiliates of these casinos and poker rooms will also have the option of receiving their commission payments on an Intercash card.
“We’re very proud to be launching our new MasterCard card program on the Playtech software through Fastengine, one of Playtech’s largest groups of sites,” said Intercash CEO Patrick Seguev. “The venture between our companies marks a significant step into what is becoming an industry standard, with many online gaming software providers and operators integrating our safe, efficient, and smart payment solutions as a standard part of their software package.”
The PrepaidGate™, Intercash’s web-based reporting and management system, enables online casino operators to easily perform transactions, enquiries and monitor results in real-time.
Intercash’s “Pays 2 Ways” feature enables instant authorization on deposits and withdrawals to and from casino sites. Like an e-wallet, with the “Pays More Ways™” feature, cardholders can withdraw funds to their Intercash card from any participating Intercash site.
“By giving their players and affiliates instant access to their winnings and earnings on a secure chip-and-PIN MasterCard card, gaming companies will not only reduce their costs in terms of cheque payouts and bank transfer fees,” continued Patrick Seguev of Intercash. “They’ll also increase customer satisfaction, comfort and loyalty.”

New European Roulette Gives More Bang for Le Buck With Low Betting Option
New La Roulette European Roulette at WinADay Gives Players an Edge
WinADayCasino’s new five-wheel roulette game, Roulette 5, has been so popular since it launched in April that the popular slots and video poker site has added another new Roulette game to its online casino games room. The new La Roulette has a “low bet” option that can give players more bang for le buck.
La Roulette is like Roulette 5 but since it is played by European Roulette rules, there is no double-zero like in American Roulette. Having only one zero gives a slight edge to players since each spin has a 1 in 37 chance of landing on any one number rather than 1 in 38.
With La Roulette’s new low betting option, players can place bets as low as $.10. On any spin, they can bet on one, two, three, four or all five wheels.
Until recently WinADayCasino.com offered only slots and video poker games. Since adding Roulette and Keno the online casino has noticed that its players sometimes like a change of pace.
“There’s no doubt that our players’ favourite games are slot machines like Vegas Mania, Slot-o-matic and the new Tropical Treat,” said WinADayCasino.com manager Michael Hilary, “but even players that usually stick with just one or two favourite slot machines seem to like taking a break from slots to play some Roulette or Keno once in awhile.”
To encourage players to try the new La Roulette, WinADayCasino is making two special offers. All players that play 10 or more rounds on La Roulette between August 19th and 25th will be automatically entered in a free bonus draw. Five randomly chosen players will each receive a $200 bonus and another five will each receive $100.
WinADayCasino.com wants to know what players think about the new game and is asking them to send their feedback on La Roulette to support@winadaycasino.com. The best five testimonials will also each receive $75 in their account.
This month WinADayCasino’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania slot machine. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a monthly draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

Online Casino Player Counting Her Lucky Stars After $148,711 Progressive Jackpot Win
After inching up slowly all summer, progressive jackpot reached highest in months
One of the oldest and most popular slot machines at one of the oldest and most popular online slots site has produced a $148,711 progressive jackpot winner. A player who only started spinning the reels at Slotland.com three years ago hit the massive jackpot playing the Lucky Stars slot machine.
“I’m so excited I can't think straight,” said the winner, known as SOUTHBELLE. “I’m sure not used to having that kind of spending money so I really don’t know what I’ll do with it! I’m terrible for spoiling my family. Can’t help it! So I’ll have some fun with this that’s for sure. First though, my brother has been going through some tough times lately so I’m going to help him with some of the bills that have piled up.”
Lucky Stars is a five-payline slot machine game giving five chances of winning. Each payline which has a bet placed on it can win. Its "Hold" feature appears randomly during play and there is a special bonus round multiplying all wins by 10. Although Lucky Stars is one of the oldest and most popular games at Slotland, it hasn’t had a big progressive jackpot winner since December 2007.
“People play a little less in the summer so the progressive hasn’t increased as fast as it has shot up a few times in the past,” said Slotland Manager Michael Hilary. “But it was worth waiting for I’d say! Last fall it was getting hit pretty well monthly so we weren’t seeing six-figure jackpots like this. We had a $168,476 winner in May but other than that this is our biggest win since last October.”
All of the slots at Slotland are tied to the same jackpot. Every time a player plays max bet on any of these games, some of the wager goes into the progressive jackpot pool. Hitting the right combination with a max bet placed wins the progressive jackpot. In Lucky Stars, a max bet is only $2. If five bars appear on a line with a $2 bet, the jackpot is won.
“I like playing Lucky Stars because there’s a bit of slots strategy involved,” said the winner. “When you get the ‘hold’ feature you have to decide whether or not to keep what you’ve got or take your chances on another spin. Bonus rounds multiply wins so if I feel like I’m close to hitting one I like to make sure I’m betting max to make the most of it.”
Slotland.com currently features 15 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Four of the most popular games, including Lucky Starsd, are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. Slotland’s games do not require any downloading or installation as they are all instant play casino games. Some are now available in Flash format with improved graphics and sound.
The jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. At Slotland’s sister casino WinADayCasino.com, whose games are accessible from the Slotland games lobby, the jackpot is currently over $85K.

Purchasing Credits at New Penny Auction Site, Poker Players Can Buy-in for Less
Poker enthusiasts will be able to bid a little and win a lot at Bidibot.com
A brand new ‘penny auction’ site, Bidibot.com, for action hungry poker and casino players has been launched. Players will have a new way to get their hands on poker and casino credits and will give them a more cost efficient route to some top online poker tournaments by avoiding satellites. It’s the most sure-fire way to win, in poker, for less.
The concept is simple. Once at bidibot.com, players bid on auctions such as poker tournament packages, poker or casino chips and credit. Players can place as many bids as they like until the auction is over.
For example – let’s say a player is interested in $500 credit on Betfair Poker. They enter the auction, which starts at $0.00 with a countdown timer of approximately five minutes. Each bid in the auction is set at a fixed price of $0.01 and every time a bid is placed, 30 seconds is added to the countdown timer. When the timer hits 0, the last person to bid wins the auction item – so $500 credit on Betfair Poker can be theirs for as little as 1 cent.
Bidibot.com’s penny auction concept not only offers real value for money, it will provide online poker players with the kind of opportunities and packages that they are unable to access elsewhere at such discount costs.
John Tabatabai, CEO of Bidibot comments: “Just as eBay found a new way for people to access discount goods, bidibot.com has stripped away the financial barriers that prevent many poker players from developing their game and playing in higher stakes events.”

iGB Affiliate Events pride themselves on knowing that delegates come to their shows to create successful relationships within the online gambling affiliate market. In an effort to advance this winning reputation, they have invested in a new state-of-the-art networking tool which will facilitate over 3,000 connections between delegates prior to BAC 2010 and are delighted to have the support of Roxy Affiliates in making this happen. This comprehensive tool will allow every delegate to communicate before, after and during the show to create meetings and start business conversations to ensure they maximise their time at the event. Every registered delegate to BAC 2010 will receive a personalised email in the first week of September detailing their own unique log-in information and instructions to specify their preferences and be matched with likeminded delegates.
“The iGaming events and affiliate conferences play a large part in providing a platform that allows operators to get to know both new and existing affiliates on a personal level in a relaxed, sociable atmosphere.” Lee-Ann Johnstone, Affiliate Manager for Roxy Affiliates stated “Roxy Affiliates has always advocated the importance of communication to maintain solid business relationships and therefore when the opportunity to sponsor the conference networking tool arose, we jumped at the chance to participate. Anyone who’s attended an affiliate event will know how quickly time can pass by, so we hope this tool will help encourage delegates to get in touch with one another to benefit from extending business relationships in advance to the event”
iGB Affiliate Events are keen to ensure that delegates will not only leave BAC 2010 with thriving new business and marketing relationships, but in turn they will also provide individuals with the opportunity to expand and experience first hand the latest developments in social marketing and search engine strategy. The iGB Training Workshops have been set up to compliment the famed and exhaustive BAC conference schedule, by providing in-depth training in small classroom settings to ensure informal one-to-one discussions and exposure to the latest web marketing tactics. The workshops; Social Media Secrets for Your Business and Advances Link Building & SEO, will run on Thursday 7th October from 09:00-15:00 and if booked by the 1st of September delegates will receive an Early Bird £50 discount. Places are obviously limited as only 60 tickets are available for 1,400 expected BAC delegates.
For more information on the iGB Training Workshops or the BAC Networking Tool, simply register to attend the Budapest Affiliate Conference 2010, held at the SYMA Centre from the 7th – 10th October. As always entry to BAC is completely FREE for all Affiliates and includes transport to and from the Budapest Marriott Hotel to the SYMA Centre, all networking parties, conference seminars, lunch, and a massive exhibition with 70+ exhibitors.

The Roue de la Concorde Turned Into Giant Roulette Wheel by ChanceRoom.com
Free games with cash prizes introduce players to unique casino’s dedication to having fun
ChanceRoom.com has turned the giant Roue de Concorde into a monumental roulette wheel for a free game designed to prove that the France/UK-facing online casino site is serious about fun. Until 24 January only, the iconic ferris wheel on the Place des Concordes in Paris will spin like a roulette wheel and contestants will win cash prizes for guessing which number it will stop on.
The Places des Concorde is the largest public square in Paris and the giant Egyptian obelisk at its center serves as the roulette-wheel pointer on ChanceRoom’s Roue de Fortune. The game designers have created a quick and easy, visually entertaining online game using a very creative video-simulation. Anyone can play the free game and participate in this unique experience by going to www.LaRouletteDeLaConcorde.com
This special event is being coordinated by the same French PR firm that helped ChanceRoom help save Parisians from le grippe (the flu) by handing out free face masks on the streets of Paris this winter.
“By now I think people are getting the idea that we are not like any other online casino,” said ChanceRoom manager, John Benjamin. “Our whole raison d’etre is fun. We wanted to use something in real life like the Roue de la Concorde for this event because we think real life can be fun!“
ChanceRoom.com is a unique igaming site with online casino, poker and sports betting all accessible with one account and with one wallet. Software provided by GTECH G2 gives players an amazing selection of games and connects them to Europe’s largest poker network. ChanceRoom.com launched French and English versions of the site last fall.

Slotland Pays Out Record-breaking $799,309 in Jackpots
2009 was a record year for jackpots and bonuses at Slotland.com, one of the world’s first and still most popular online slots sites. A total of $799,309 was paid out in progressive jackpots last year and more than $68,500 was given to players as bonuses in year end draws. That's on top of nearly half a million dollars in deposit bonuses that were paid in 2009. With the current jackpot nearing $100,000, regulars at the casino are starting to feel that another big win could be just around the corner.
2009 saw a more than 10% increase in total jackpot payouts over 2008. Averaging $133,218 in 2009, individual jackpots were larger than the year before. All games at Slotland are tied to the same jackpot and in 2009 the jackpots were won playing some of their most popular games: Heavy Metal, Mega Spin, Slotris, Jacks or Better and Treasure Box.
The largest jackpot in Slotland history, $200,111, was won in 2009 by a player known as FORGOMO playing the Heavy Metal slot machine. That beat the previous record set by TEXASTEASER who got lucky in 2008 playing the Treasure Box slot and won $195K.
Not everyone can win a jackpot but Slotland also paid out nearly half a million dollars in deposit bonuses to its players in 2009.
As it has just done for 2009, Slotland will again do random year end draws for thousands more in bonus money in 2010. Each deposit is an entry (VIPs earn two entries per deposit). The draw awards a top cash prize of $5000 and splits a further $13,250 between another 20 players. On top of that, $55,000 will again be awarded to the top 30 overall depositors.
Slotland.com currently features thirteen unique slot machines and three video poker games. Four of the most popular online slot machines and two video poker games are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. Slotland will soon launch new instant Flash versions, with enhanced full-screen graphics and improved sound effects, of three games: Jacks or Better, Treasure Box and Golden8.

Delicious New 'Wok & Roll ' Slot Machine Has Recipe for Fun with Lots of Free Games and Two Jackpots on the Menu
$1.5 Million 'Jackpot Pinatas' is largest online casino jackpot available to US players
For players that dream of Chow Mein and Chop Suey as they spin the wheels, Slotastic! introduces the new Wok & Roll slot machine that serves up lots of chances for free games and has two jackpots on the menu to spice things up. The new online slot machine is the Slot-of-the-Week this week at the US-friendly online casino which means players can get up to $100 free to play the delicious new game.
To make the fun last as long as possible, "Wok & Roll" and “Chef” symbols award up to 12 free games. Wok & Roll also has two big prizes, a Minor and a Major Jackpot, that increase in value with every bet until they are won. Neither has an upper limit. Players can try Wok & Roll for free or wager real money. Although Slotastic! has a selection of instant-play slot machines, Wok & Roll is initially available in the download casino only, along with the full selection of more than 300 slot machines and table games.
With new slots releasing virtually every week since it launched, Slotastic.com players are never bored. But what’s really got players talking is the massive jackpot pool that’s accumulated. The Jackpot Pinatas jackpot alone is worth more than $1.5 million and there are several other games with 7-figure jackpots that have been alluding players for months.
“It’s fun playing new games all the time, and we’ll keep those coming, for sure,” said Slotastic’s manager. “But actually the most popular games in the casino right now are the four games with million dollar progressive jackpots: Jackpot Pinatas, Shopping Spree, Mid-life Crisis and Aztec’s Millions.”
Until the end of January, in addition to their Slot-of-the-Week bonus, Slotastic! players can also claim the $100 Progressive-of-the-Month bonus and get another $100 to try their luck at the $1.5 million Jackpot Pinatas jackpot. Terms and conditions of all casino bonuses are posted in the ‘Promotions’ section of Slotastic.com.
