If you like your online casinos with as much sexual innuendo as possible, then you’ll love the folks at JackpotCity.com. JackpotCity Casino has launched a new Facebook program called Friends with Benefits. Facebook members who become friends with the casino have exclusive access to certain tournaments, promotions, bonuses and other goodies.

A representative of JackpotCity Casino loves the innuendo-laced promotion so much he couldn’t hold himself back when discussing it. All bolded words are emphasis added by me. The representative stated that the casino “saw a gap, a real opportunity to prove that players come first at JackpotCity.” When asked if he thinks the Friends With Benefits promotion will increase business, he stated that he hopes “it drives market penetration.”

Folks, I have to be honest. When I first heard the name of this promotion I was all set to include lots of puns and innuendo in this article. However, I don’t really need to now. My job is done for me by this guy speaking on behalf of the casino.

The representative went on to say that you “don’t have to make a deposit to have fun at JackpotCity Casino.” I believe (though it can’t be confirmed) that he then giggled and added, “It really is more entertainment bang for your buck. In fact, we thought about calling the tournaments ‘Bang for Bucks,’ but thought it might be misconstrued.”

Yes, unfortunately for the folks at JackpotCity, any sites that promise bang for bucks tend to get raided by the police. Just ask all of those people who posted the ads on Craigslist.

All kidding aside, JackpotCity’s Friends With Benefits promotion is a good deal, because you don’t need to do anything to take advantage other than become a friend on Facebook. As a reward, you’ll be updated on all promotions and deals and will get exclusives that other members of the casino do not.

JackpotCity may be new to Facebook marketing, but they are not new to social media. The casino has a strong Twitter following (for the uninitiated, that is not more innuendo, though it does sound like it) and it is likely that they will soon offer Friends With Benefits on Twitter as well.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of this friendship, find JackpotCity Casino on Facebook and become a friend. Then visit the online casino and take your reward.

I’m one of those people who thinks that you can never have too much of a good thing. If a little bit is good, then a lot is even better. It’s why I won’t do heroin. I would end up increasing the dosage until I became a complete junkie and then overdose and am found in a dumpster like Layne Staley. I also love to multitask. I’m one of those people that bought DirecTV so I could watch all 65 NCAA tournament teams playing at once in tiny, tiny boxes on the screen. It’s great because it gives me more and more and allows me to multitask in my basketball-watching activities. Well, Roxy Palace finally has come out with games catered to people like me.

Roxy Palace is now offering a cool new feature brought to us by the boys at Microgaming. The online casino is now offering multi-tab gaming, which allows members to play up to five games at once. This means five times the fun, or I guess if you lose, five times the pain and disappointment. Players can do this with any game. Multi-tab gaming works best with simpler games that don’t require strategy, such as keno, bingo or the slots. I would advise against playing 5 poker games at the same time. That’s a pretty good way to lose money five times as fast. Plus, you’ll annoy the people who are waiting on you to make a decision because you’re playing one of the four other games.

The multi-tab gaming works basically the same as multi-tab web browsing that you would find on Firefox, Internet Explorer or whatever else people use for surfing the web nowadays. You can have five tabs open at a time and each tab would have a different game. You click on the tab that you want to play and that game is brought to the forefront of your screen. As a warning, though, playing more games at a time means that you are wagering and risking more money at a time, so while it can be fun and it can lead to more winnings, it can also increase your losses.

To get your multi-tab gaming on, visit Roxy Palace online casino today. Or I guess you can do it tomorrow, but why put off until tomorrow what you can do today?

All Slots Casino is best known for their slot tournaments. I know, that must come as a shocker. The tournaments often have a theme that is in keeping with current events, including holidays. This month, the casino is holding the Christmas Spin promotion. The tournament started on December 8 and runs until January 4, 2010. The tournament has weekly events, each with prizes. The weekly events run from December 8 to December 14, December 15 to December 21, December 22 to December 28 and December 29 to January 4.

It is surely a unique type of promotion, or at least new to me. Members can’t access and play the featured game directly. They have to accumulate enough credits playing other games to get free spins on the game. Points earned on the game then are added to their leader board.

The Christmas Spin promotion is played on an online slot called – you guessed it – Christmas Spin. That’s probably where they got the name, though you can never be sure with the creative types. The prizes for the promotion are credits and the credits are treated as bonuses, in that they must be wagered 30 times before being withdrawn. During the promotion, players will be given one free spin on the Christmas Spin for every 50 credits wagered on any game in All Slots Casino. The points earned on Christmas Spin will accumulate and at the end of each week, the players with the most points will win prizes. Prizes will be given to the top 150 players and they will share a pool of 10,000 credits, with the prizes ranging from 1000 credits for first place to 25 credits each for 81^st through 150^th place.

What makes this promotion appealing is that nothing is required of the players than to do what they normally do. There is nothing extra, like an entry fee. All they have to do is play their favorite games, which they would do anyway, and while risking nothing, get free spins on a specific game, on which they can earn prizes.

To take part in the Christmas Spin promotion, simply log in to All Slots Casino and start playing some games. You know you want to. If you didn’t like gambling you wouldn’t be reading this. So go ahead. Have fun. Tell them I sent you… Actually, don’t. They don’t know me there anyway. And even if they did, you wouldn’t get anything special by dropping my name, so there’s no reason to bother.

Now is the time of year that people splurge on presents for loved ones and people in the office or school that they unfortunately have to get a gift for because of the bad Secret Santa idea. It’s the time of year when charities get more donations than any other time, including those annoying people outside Wal-Mart ringing a bell all day (no, I’m not saying that they’re not good people or that you shouldn’t give them money; I’m only saying that they’re annoying). With all of that spending going on, people tend to cut back on other expenses that are not necessary, including playing at casinos. That is why this is also the time of year that casinos roll out all kinds of good promotions. Right now Blackjack Ballroom online casino is offering 3 December promotions for their online slots. I know what you’re thinking. Isn’t this place called Blackjack Ballroom? Yes, but they have so much more than blackjack. And Mostly Blackjack Though We Also Have Lots of Other Great Games Ballroom doesn’t sound as catchy.

One promotion starts tomorrow, December 5 and runs through Sunday, December 6. The promotion, appropriately enough, is for the online slot game called Ho Ho Ho. No, it’s not a sexist game with a rap theme that is disrespectful of women. It is a game themed after Santa Clause. Anyway, anyone who wagers at least 20 credits on the game will be qualified for a prize at the end of the promotion. Prizes are 100 credits each for 10 players chosen from a random drawing of those who qualify.

From tomorrow, December 5, through December 10, Blackjack Ballroom is running a promotion on the Snow Honeys game. Unlike Ho Ho Ho, this game can actually be considered sexist, or at least some of those easily offended feminists might think so. The online slot has a theme of women playing winter sports, such as skiing in bikinis. For some people, that’s sexy. To me, I worry that they’ll get frostbite. But maybe I’m strange. To qualify for the promotion, players have to wager at least 20 credits on the game. At the end of the promotion, the top 5 wagerers on each day of the promotion will earn 100 credits each.

The third promotion is the big one, which started on December 1 and runs through December 31. The promotion is played on an online slot called Thunderstruck. No, it’s not based on an AC/DC song, though that would be really cool. The slot is actually based on Thor, the Norse god of thunder. And most Blackjack Ballroom players already knew that, since the casino stated that it is the most popular slot game of 2009. Players who wager at least 100 credits on the game will earn double loyalty points.

To take part in the promotions, visit Blackjack Ballroom today.

All Slots Casino has one of the leading mobile casinos, thanks to a large number of mobile web applications that can be played on any smartphone. They already had a good number of slots and poker games. Now there is a new game for the bingo fans out there.

Bingo Bonanza is the new game and it’s sure to be a hit among bingo lovers. The game offers the chance to win some pretty good money, with players able to win up to 20,000 times their bet. The gameplay of Bingo Bonanza is kind of unique, in that it plays more like a lottery draw than a bingo game. In the game, six balls are drawn and to win, the player needs to match at least 2 of the balls.

One of the best features of the game, and one that I wish was included in all online games, is a feature where the player can control the speed of the game. If the normal mode is too slow and the player wants to speed up the game, they can put the game in Turbo Mode, where the animations are accelerated and you can get in more games in the same amount of time. I’ve played quite a few online blackjack games that I wish had this option.

It’s another example of All Slots Casino’s commitment to innovation. In order to keep customers happy, they are offering not only a new bingo game, but one that can be played on a cell phone, has a unique gameplay, and can be modified to play fast or normal speed depending on the player’s wish.

To try the new online bingo experience, visit All Slots Casino today.

It seems like all online casinos are trying to get people to spend their Halloween weekend on their site. Some casinos are having Halloween-themed tournaments. Rushmore Casino is offering a slew of bonuses for those that wager on the online slots and other games.

This weekend, Rushmore Casino is holding the Halloween Weekend Bonanza. Players who hit the slots during this period can earn 200% bonuses on their deposits within a $2,000 limit. Depending on what you use as the method of payment, the player will receive a different bonus coupon. The coupons are offered for deposits paid using gift card, credit card, UseMyWallet, Click2Pay, and eWalletExpress. Each can receive one of each coupon, meaning that each player has the potential to earn 5 bonuses of 200% within the limit of $2,000 each if they pay with each method.

The bonus coupons must be selected before making the deposit and the bonuses awarded must be wagered 20 times before they can be withdrawn.

For those who want to play something other than online slots, there are other bonuses available. Rushmore Casino also offers a 150% bonus up to 1,000 for online blackjack players. Like with the slot bonus, there are coupons given out for the five above-listed payment options and players can collect one of each. Aside from blackjack, the bonuses are awarded for playing all other games in the casino except roulette, craps, Pai Gow poker and baccarat. These bonuses must be wagered 50 times before a withdrawal can be made.

For players who are not currently members of Rushmore Casino, the online casino is also offering a 100% match bonus for first time member sign-ups. The match bonus is used on the player’s first two deposits. To take advantage of the great bonuses, make your way over to Rushmore Casino today.

William Hill, the popular online casino and sports book, has a few big promotions going on right now. Whether you want to play poker or bingo, William Hill has a little something for you.

Though most people hate Mondays, it is the perfect day for playing online bingo at William Hill. The website helps you start your work week in a positive way by giving players a 10% bonus for playing bingo. The bonus is automatically deposited into the players’ account for every 90-ball bingo ticket purchased. With the 10% bonus, players will be able to play even more bingo, which would make my grandma happy. Yeah, I know young people play online bingo, too, but my grandma really does love it. I wasn’t making fun. William Hill is also offering Deal or No Deal Bingo, a fun bingo variant based on the popular TV game show.

For players who are more into poker, William Hill can hook you up as well. Right now anyone who signs up for William Hill Poker and makes a deposit will get a 100% matching bonus of up to £400. More money to play poker with is a good thing. If you’re good at poker, it allows you to win more money. If you suck at poker, it lets you play for longer before you lose everything. So it’s a win-win situation.

“But wait,” you say,” why would I play poker if I don’t know what I’m doing?” That’s a good question. You shouldn’t. That’s why William Hill is also offering its members a free course that teaches you how to play poker. The Poker School offers tips, advice and strategies, helping members become more skilled at one of the most skilled of games.

So if you feel like playing bingo or poker, or you just want o learn how to be a better poker player, William Hill has what you need.

The release of a new slot game is kind of like the premiere of a new television pilot. Everyone’s excited to find out if it’s going to be any good. There is an air of mystery and anticipation. And honestly, you’re probably hoping that if you dedicate some time to it that it won’t suck (I’m thinking of you, Poochinski – if you don’t know what that is, do yourself a favor and look it up).

Golden Casino is doing their best to satisfy that curiosity by releasing two new online slot games. The first new slot is called Love Bugs. I know what you’re thinking, but before you get too excited, the game has nothing to do with our favorite anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, Herbie. Instead, it is a romantic game that seems more fitting for Valentine’s Day than for October. Then again, I’ve always said that you should be romantic year-round, instead of just on one day in February.

Love Bugs is the kind of game that Barry White would love, filled with bouquets of flowers, love letters, chocolates in heart-shaped boxes and more. As for the bonus round, it is a romantic gondola ride through Venice. Yes, it’s a cliché, but I challenge you to find a girl who wouldn’t love that. The online slot is a 5-reel, 25-line game that pays up to 5,000 times your wager.

Bangkok Nights is the other new slot game, which is kind of the antithesis of Love Bugs, since Bangkok is best known for its pollution, mold, drugs and sex slave trade. Oh, but the capital of Thailand is also known for its night life, which is what is featured in this game. The online slot features imagery from night clubs and carnivals, including dancing girls, masks and jewelry. It is a 5-reel, 25-payline slot game that features a fun bonus round called Pick and Win, which is played pretty much like the game show Deal or No Deal (a show whose pilot, in my opinion, should not have been picked up).

With the two new games and upcoming Halloween slot tournaments at the end of the month, now is a good time to visit Golden Casino. To play the new games, join Golden Casino today.

Gambling Review readers, meet Kris Zutis. Mr. Zutis has not yet graduated from college, but he’s already making lots of friends and enemies in the gambling world. Quite an achievement. When I was in college the only thing I had accomplished was racking up debt, constantly being drunk or hung over, and learning over 50 different meals you can make with ramen noodles. Zutis is clearly ahead of the curve.

A native of Latvia, Zutis is in his final year at Dundee University in Scotland. Zutis is an avid gambler and is even a member of poker clubs at the school. Zutis has designed a computer system for the final project for his Applied Computing degree that would detect card counters in blackjack. Yes, you read that correctly. A gambler wants to take away the only advantage  gamblers can have over the casino.

The system has already garnered a lot of attention, with Zutis being invited to the International Conference on Computer Vision Systems in Belgium to present his system to top developers across the globe. According to Zutis, the program he has developed uses a complex algorithm to track the progression of blackjack games and monitor the cards played and the bets being made. Put simply, the system counts cards the same way a player would and then determines if a player is using the same strategy. If so, it’s reasonable to assume that the player is counting cards.

Having another weapon against card counters is certainly a good thing for the casinos, and Zutis is making some friends in very high places representing the house. However, he’s not exactly popular with blackjack players at the moment. The website Blackjack Hero, a proponent of card counting, calls the inventor “hypocritical” and says they “can’t imagine anyone liking a guy who sells out to the casino’s side.”  The blog also pointed out that Zutis, an avid poker player, decided against developing a system that could affect his game of choice. Instead, he focused on blackjack.

It should be noted that Zutis’ program still needs some work before it’s ready to be unleashed in the casinos. It is just a college project, after all, but then again, so were Google, Facebook and Myspace. Also, card counting has never been possible at online casinos, so maybe someday blackjack players in brick and mortar casinos may have to deal with the same odds as online blackjack players.

Certainly Big Brother techniques, such as the eye in the sky, are already being used by casinos against gamblers and dirty dealers. One can’t blame the casinos for trying to get their hands on a program like this. However, the thought of a gambler selling out their own to make a buck just seems wrong. Every other game in the casino has a house edge that cannot be beaten by the players, but blackjack is the one game where a player who follows proper strategy and counts cards correctly actually has a chance to make money off of the house. This program would take away the only advantage the gamblers can have, meaning there would be no way for a player to make money off the casino, except of course by selling out and selling a product to the casinos that would hurt other gamblers. I guess young Mr. Zutis is a follower of the “if you can’t beat them, join them” philosophy. Such a shame.

If you’re like me, you never remember dates and tend to make plans at the last minute because if you make plans earlier, you will just forget anyway. That could be why I’m not married (women expect you to remember their anniversary). It could also explain why I always buy cards from the “belated birthday” section at Hallmark. So if you are like me – and I hope you’re not because one of me is already too much for most people – then you might want to mark this down on your calendar… Okay, first you might want to buy a calendar. Then you should mark this down:

On November 23, Titan Poker is holding their fifth European Championship of Online Poker (ECOOP V). The tournament will have a guaranteed prize pool of $4,550,000. In case all of those zeros confused you, the number is $4.55 million. Not too shabby. The online poker tournament will be held over 14 days and begins on November 23.

You, the lonely procrastinator who angered his girlfriend by not remembering when you met, are probably thinking, It’s October. Why in the world is he telling me about this now? That’s because I want to help you with your problem. Plan in advance. It’s better for everyone. Also, you can’t wait until November 23 for this tournament. To win a seat at the digital table you need to play in the qualifying satellite tournaments that are going on every day.

There are a number of different online poker varieties available in the satellite tournaments, including Texas Hold’em, Pot Limit Omaha, and 7 Card Stud, among others. Over the 14 days of the Championship tournament, $4.55 million in prizes will be distributed among the top players. On December 6 is the Main Event, where the remaining players compete for a $1.5 prize pool.

To participate in the online poker satellite tournaments, visit Titan Poker today. If not today, please write it down so you don’t forget. Write it on a Post-it, a napkin or something. If you don’t and you forget, you can’t blame me for not trying to help.
