Intertops Sportsbook Giving Free Money to Relieve March Madness as Spring Fever Hits Millions of American

Spring has sprung and with it comes the annual March Madness of American college basketball. To add to the excitement of the NCAA basketball tournament on this month, Intertops Sportsbook is giving away free money and a basketball fan’s dream trip.

“This is an exciting time of year – 68 teams all coming down to the Final Four and then one champion in just a few weeks,” said an Intertops spokesperson. “At this point, it’s anybody’s game. The Pittsburgh Panthers have an explosive offense and are serious contenders for the championship. But the Ohio State Buckeyes are first in the Big-Ten and sitting pretty.

Summer Daydreams Help Win $145,864 Jackpot at Slotland.com

Old faithful has paid out once again. A Slotland.com player won the $145,864 progressive jackpot at the long-popular slots and video poker site playing the Lucky Ducts online slot machine.

“I couldn’t decide which game to play. They’ve got so many now,” said the jackpot winner known as CHACHANG on the site. “I was switching from old favourites like Lucky Stars and Golden 8 and trying out some of the newer games too. I was switching around a bit until I ended up playing Lucky Ducts. It just seemed hot. It wasn’t my favourite game – not until now anyway – but it was a dark, cold winter evening and it just reminded me of summer fun and swimming.”

The winner says he hasn’t had much time to think about how he’ll spend his winnings.

“You daydream about all kinds of things you’d buy if you won, don’t you? Maybe to start with I should stick with the ‘summertime’ thing and take a holiday someplace nice and warm!”

“I like the games at Slotland,” said CHACHANG who has been playing regularly at Slotland.com since May 2008. “And the staff have always been so nice and so helpful.”

Slotland’s last big jackpot win was in January when a new player won $104K playing Booster. Since the jackpot pays out so frequently – on average every 6 to 8 weeks – regular players at the site suspected there would be a win.

Although there have been dozens of major jackpot wins at Slotland over the last few years, this is the first big win on Lucky Ducts. Lucky Ducts is a 5 reel, 19 pay line slots game with up to 50x multipliers and lots of chances to win free spins.

Launched just last summer, Lucky Ducts is one of Slotland’s newest Flash games and features enhanced full-screen graphics and special effects. Its swimming pool theme reminds winter-weary players of the golden days of summer with rubber duckies, beach balls and toy fish spinning on its watery wheels. 3 Water Faucet symbols at a time raise the Bonus Reservoir one level and increase the win multiplier to x2, x5, x10, x25 and finally x50. Players get 6 free spins when the Bonus Reservoir reaches the top level and overflows.

Slotland.com has been offering one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games for more than twelve years. There are currently 19 instant-play casino games to choose from – none of them found at any other online casino.

The progressive jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. Meanwhile at Slotland’s sister casino, WinADayCasino.com, the jackpot is over $120,000.

New Jersey Governor Has Vetoed Internet Gambling Bill

If a regulated iGaming industry is to become a reality in the state of New Jersey, its Governor, Chris Christie, has declared that it will be for the people to decide. Christie surprisingly acted against the overwhelming majority will of the Legislature when he vetoed the Internet Gambling bill earlier today.

Governor Christie reiterated his commitment to New Jersey gaming, but was concerned that the bill did not comprehensively prohibit iGaming from being offered in bars and internet cafés, explaining, “While I support the intentions of the Legislature to make New Jersey a more competitive gaming jurisdiction, I am concerned that nothing in the legislation would prohibit commercial establishments outside of Atlantic City, such as nightclubs, cafés and bars from offering Internet gambling.”

Additionally, the Governor was concerned that existing legislation did not allow gambling, on the Internet or otherwise, outside of Atlantic City, and stipulated that the expansion of gambling in New Jersey beyond Atlantic City would require a referendum vote similar to referendum vote that established gambling in Atlantic City in 1976.

“If the Legislature believes that expanding gambling outside of Atlantic City is in the best interests of the State of New Jersey, it should place the question on the ballot for the voters to decide,” said Christie.

Finally, the Governor pointed out that certain aspects of the legislation were opposed to his administration’s policy, specifically citing the bill’s provision of subsidies to the state's horse racing industry.

Christie’s rejection of the proposed law in favour of referendum means that the bill will now be redrafted and submitted in the state Assembly and Senate specifically for inclusion for referendum in November.

According to a recent survey of New Jersey voters by National Research Inc. in June 2010, a majority (62%) of New Jersey residents would support a bill that “would permit Internet versions of casino games for New Jersey Residents”. iGaming in New Jersey is expected to bring up to 57,000 jobs and $7 billion to the state over a ten year period.

Will Iowa Be Second State to Pass iGaming Legislation?

New Jersey is but a step away from becoming the first state in America to regulate Intra-State Internet gambling. A Bill authorising Atlantic City casinos to offer online games to persons physically present in the state was approved by the Legislature in January 2011. It awaits the signature of Governor Chris Christie, who, during his time in office, has pushed hard to reinvigorate the state’s flagging gaming economy. With New Jersey on the cusp of introducing safe and secure online games — games which could profitably generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenues each year — other states have begun to take notice.

In Iowa, state Senator Jeff Danielson, Democrat of Waterloo, will this week introduce a large gambling Bill that includes provisions authorizing the state’s licensed casinos to offer Internet poker to persons physically present there. The Bill must clear its first hurdle, a vote in legislative committee, by March 4. In order to become law, the Bill must then be approved by both chambers of the Iowa Legislature and, finally, signed by Governor Terry Branstad. Relative to New Jersey, the Internet gambling debate in Iowa is in its early stages, but gambling industry lobbyists in Des Moines say that the Legislature will consider Internet poker carefully in light of the fiscal returns it could generate for the state.

Early estimates prepared by groups lobbying for the Iowa gambling Bill suggest that Internet poker, if legalized, could generate $35 million in revenues for the state each year. In New Jersey, though, the figures are even bigger. According to a study commissioned by the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA), an Internet gambling industry trade group, Internet gambling could generate $250 million in revenues for the state in its first year, and as much as $7.1 Billion over the long run. Taken together, the estimates from Iowa and New Jersey show that introducing even limited forms of Internet gaming could deliver nearly $300 million to two states that are cutting funding for public programs and in desperate need of new revenues.

“This week marks a turning point for Internet gambling in the United States,” says Chris Krafcik, an independent analyst who tracks American Internet gambling policy for publishers and consultancies around the world. “First, Governor Christie will decide by March 3 whether to approve, veto, conditionally veto, or abstain from voting on the Internet gambling Bill pending there. Second, a committee in the Iowa Legislature will decide by March 4 whether Internet poker will feature as a public policy issue this year. If Christie signs the Bill and the Iowa Legislature runs with Internet poker, Internet gambling will have taken big steps toward being recognized as the safe, secure and revenue-generative business that it is.”
