Gibraltar is located at the southern most tip of Europe. It was always known as a well-regulated financial center and therefore a natural choice for a gaming jurisdiction. Today the Gibraltar Gaming Commission, known as the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority, licenses sports books, online casinos and betting exchanges with the total number of licensees for online gambling being 21. Over 10% of its workforce is employed by the gaming industry.
Online gambling commenced in the mid 1990s and started growing around the end of the last century. The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority issued its first online gaming licenses in 1998. The first operators who came to Gibraltar were Victor Chandler and Ladbrokes. Today the Gibraltar jurisdiction boasts of some of the biggest names in online gaming. These include the Belle Rock Entertainment group that offers popular online casinos like JackpotCity and River Belle, 888 Holdings that runs 888.com and Pacific Poker, and the PartyGaming group that offers PartyPoker and PartyCasino.
The Gibraltar Regulatory Authority does not charge any initial licensing fee, even though it undertakes a very rigorous initial inspection. The licensees pay an annual fee of £2,000 and a gaming tax of 1% of their turnover subject to an annual cap of £42.5 million.
Initially the Gibraltar jurisdiction operated under the 1958 Gaming Ordinance. However with the tremendous growth in online gaming and the attendant social issues Gibraltar's House of Assembly updated its gaming legislation in 2005 and passed the Gambling Act 2005, under which the Gambling Regulatory Authority was appointed as the Gambling Commissioner. One of the reasons that Gibraltar has few licensees is that it has set strict standards and enforces them ruthlessly. The new act focuses on regulation, transparency and social obligations.
Gibraltar is the only United Kingdom overseas territory that is a part of the European Union. Also the Gibraltar jurisdiction is covered by the new U.K. Gaming Act. Both these associations have brought greater credibility and popularity to online gambling sites licensed in Gibraltar.
The responsibilities of the Gibraltar Regulatory authority include framing regulatory policies, evaluating applications for new licenses, investigating breach of license conditions and resolving disputes between player and operator. Among the numerous requirements that a potential licensee has to fulfill two are most important. The applicant has to produce a certificate confirming the integrity of the software from an approved inspection agency. The agencies approved for this purpose by the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority are Technical Systems Testing, eCOGRA, iTech Labs Australia and Gaming Associates Pty Ltd. The applicants also have to demonstrate their commitment to responsible gambling. They have to provide links from their sites to problem gambling help sites, have to incorporate self-exclusion features in their software and also have to take steps to prevent underage gambling.

Odds Look Good For Gamblers - Forbes - 10th July 2009
Internet gambling seems like a recession-proof business and even the reluctant U.S. might ride the train.
LONDON - Despite warmer weather and tough economic conditions, sofa spuds are still playing high rollers in virtual casinos. On Thursday online gaming firm PartyGaming, reportedly a takeover target of Nasdaq-listed rival Gigamedia, saw a jump in shares as much a 7% after it said trading in the second quarter has been robust with revenues in line with the first quarter.
Gibraltar-based PartyGaming, one of the world's biggest online gambling firms, also said casino sales had significantly increased from the previous quarter, driven by a substantial increase in the number of games being offered on its PartyCasino site.
"Casino is developing into a major success story and recent poker initiatives are getting traction. We are maintaining our forecasts at this stage but there are increasing grounds for optimism," said Wyn Ellis, an analyst at Numis in London.
The recent jump in PartyGaming shares might be just a premonition of a much bigger rally next September as industry analysts expect a 2006-anti online gambling law to be scrap in the U.S. by the end of the fall.
"There is a reasonably good chance that the U.S. will introduce some positive online legislation in terms of gambling first at a state level in September and then at a federal level," said Nick Batram, an analyst at KBC Peel Hunt, a brokerage firm in London.
Last May, Rep. Barney Frank introduced a bill to propose that online gambling be legalized and regulated in the United States. PartyGaming's shares have hovered around the $3.80 mark ever since they dropped from nearly $15.00, just after to the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act in October 2006.
But PartyGaming shares, along with rival 888 Holdings, could see a rebound soon. "Some of the share prices have already discounted the U.S. opening up the online gambling markets and the possibility of some sector consolidation, but shares in European online gambling companies will rally European rally there is an element some of the share prices already discounting the US opening to a degree or some sector consolidation," said Batram, adding he still expects shares to rally once regulation for companies in the U.S. is relaxed.
Yet he warns PartyGaming's shares and other stocks like Gigamedia probably won't reach the historic highs they enjoyed before the outlaw act of 2006.
The U.S. government could raise more than $50 billion over 10 years from taxes on legalized online gambling, according to a study by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Online gambling generated revenue of $6 billion last year in North America, more than a quarter the global total of $22.6 billion, up from $17.6 billion in 2006, according to H2 Gambling Capital.

PartyGaming to focus on mainland Europe - 23rd July 2009
PartyGaming aims to focus on continental European as it rolls out Cashcade and Party bingo brands alongside more white-label deals, the company has advised.
PartyGaming has acquired Cashcade for £71.9m, with an additional payment of up to £24m dependent on performance.
To grow its share in rapidly rising global online bingo market, PartyGaming will look to B2B deals such as those recently inked with Italian land-based lottery services provider Intralot and Cirsa, which just happen to be the largest land-based bingo operator in Spain.
A PartyGaming spokesperson said "expect us to do more B2B deals" to take a slice of the global online bingo market, which is set to grow from US$1.5bn to US$2.8bn by the end of 2012, according to industry data business H2 Gambling Capital.
"Europe is the exciting area for us. Cashcade will be helping us build the PartyGaming platform while continuing to building their own brand, but we will also be looking to build market share through more B2B deals following those with Intralot, Cirsa, DM and Channel 5".
"Cashcade has recently grown its share of the UK market to 23%, so they’re really at the top of their game in terms of taking share from other competitors".
PartyGaming advises it has the necessary access to the cash and debt markets required to play a role in the unfolding consolidation play, following its recent settlement with the US DOJ. Party had £193.1m cash on the balance sheet at of 31 December 2008. The £95.9m total consideration for Cashcade and the settlement of £72m to the US DOJ will however be met from this.
PartyGaming finance director Martin Weigold advised in a conference call to journalists that the company had already been engaged in "extensive discussions" with banks in relation to raising funds for further M&A activity.

PartyGaming Buys Cashcade To Grow Online Bingo Mkt Shr
LONDON - PartyGaming PLC (PRTY.LN) Thursday acquired Cashcade Ltd. for GBP95.9 million, a move aimed at significantly increasing its share of the $1.5 billion global online bingo market.
It's the online gambling company's first deal since its settlement with authorities in the U.S. over its defunct operations there.
PartyGaming will initially pay GBP71.9 million for bingo and casino operator Cashcade, and up to a further GBP24 million subject to Cashcade's future profit performance.
The deal, which is being financed by existing cash, was well received by investors and boosted PartyGaming shares by 5.5% as of 0954 GMT in a lower London market. The stock has risen 27% since January, and 17% over the past 12 months.
Cashcade is partially owned by debt-laden newspaper publisher Independent News & Media PLC (IPD.DB), which holds an 18% stake, and private individuals.
Cashcade's online bingo websites include Foxy Bingo, Think Bingo, Bingo Scotland as well as casino sites such as Getminted.com and Foxy Flutter.
PartyGaming expects the deal to be earnings enhancing before amortization of intangibles in 2009.
Cashcade's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation more than doubled to GBP12.2 million in 2008 from GBP4.9 million a year earlier. It booked net revenue of GBP44.9 million in 2008, up from GBP28.5 million.
PartyGaming Chief Executive Jim Ryan said the Cashcade acquisition provides the group with "an excellent platform to build a meaningful share of the $1.5 billion global online bingo market."
"Our longer-term strategic objective is to become the market-leader in online poker, casino, sports and bingo," Ryan said in a statement.
Daniel Stewart analyst James Hollins said the deal is "extremely attractive, providing an immediate boost to earnings and a market-leading position in online bingo." Hollins has consequently raised his target price to 366 pence from 339 pence, and with 56% upside to Hollin's target, he retained his buy rating.
Other parties who were reportedly interested in Cashcade included 888 Holdings PLC (888.LN) and Paddy Power PLC (PLS.DEB).
Independent News & Media, which is haggling with its bond holders over EUR200 million of overdue debt, will receive EUR15.3 million for its Cashcade stake after costs. It may also receive incremental proceeds in 2010 and 2011, subject to certain earnings targets being met.
In April, PartyGaming agreed to pay $105 million to U.S. authorities, and in turn the U.S. attorney's office for the Southern District of New York agreed not to prosecute the Gibraltar-based company or its subsidiaries for providing Internet gambling to customers in the U.S. before the federal government's ban of the industry in October 2006.
At the time, Ryan said: "We are now well-placed to seize organic as well as strategic opportunities that previously were beyond our reach."

Internet Gambling Makes Push in Asia Pacific Region
The past month has seen a surge of both established and not so established Internet Gambling and other gaming companies make a push into the Asia Pacific region. Greg Tingle, Special Contributor to the Gambling911.com website and Australian correspondent, takes a look at the Internet gambling sector in that region. He also looks at the online poker component. Tingle is also the proprietor of Media Man out of Australia.
It appears apparent that some of the gaming entities have more than just a casual interest in Australia, judging by some of the game titles. Try "Goanna Gold", "Cool Bananas", "Kangaroo Zoo", and "Shaaark" on for size!
PartyGaming saw some of their PartyCasino.com titles enjoy a rise in popularity as Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible and Top Gun) fame, and his partner, Katie Holmes, have been spending time in Melbourne, using James Packer's Crown Towers as a base.
Aspinalls are making a push with their Aspinalls Online Casino and Aspinalls Online Poker. Aspinalls have quite a colourful history, with the late, great, John Aspinall said to have ties and friendships with Australia's Packer family. In recent years it has been reported that Australia's James Packer has done business deals with Damian Aspinall. No doubt Aspers would be most welcome to accommodate the needs of casino whales, in both an online and offline capacity. Aspinall Jr has been spotted out and about with Australia's Elle "The Body" MacPherson a number of times over the past year, so Aspers wins points for that alone.
Titan Casino and Titan Poker both Playtech powered casinos have also identified the Asia Pacific region as a go ahead region for growth. Titan have come up with some impressive and generous bonuses for signing up at their online casino brands.
JackpotCity and Lucky Nugget Online Casino, both part of the Belle Rock Entertainment family, rose to prominence in Australia last year with their promotion of blockbuster movie hits, Tomb Raider and Hitman. JackpotCity is powered by Microgaming, which incidentally is also the software that powers Australia's Captain Cooks Casino. Captain Cooks Casino is by all accounts a favorite with the Aussies, so it looks like a battle of sorts may be on the horizon for the patronage of players who prefer Microgaming.
Casino Club and Slots Club, both powered by Boss Media, proudly have "Kangaroo Zoo" in their casino game stable. In recent months they have added more games, revamped the websites, and enhanced multi currency options.
Euro Partners, the European gaming powerhouse is embarking on a campaign pushing forward their highly respect casino brands into the Asia Pacific. Sources advise to be watching out for Casino Tropez and Europa Casino, to name but a few.
Virgin Games maintains presence in Australia and their Transformers online slot game is impossible to miss, thanks to the blockbuster movie launch last month. Virgin looks to have taken a page out of the Marvel Entertainment book, pushing forward a traditional entertainment brand. Marvel Entertainment is working on a Thor movie, so one would expect the Thor slot game to enjoy some renewed popularity. Virgin Casino top brass has recently gone on record via the Virgin.com website portal about the ups and downs of the online casino and igaming industry. Virgin's Richard Branson has approximately 200 companies in a range of industry verticals, so Virgin are certainly spreading their risk. Virgin recently ceased their Pikum! brand, however they remain one of the world's strongest and most respected brands. Let us not forget that celebrated film producer and director, Steven Spielberg has made a financial killing in the gaming sector over the decades, however it's his movie making that most of the world knows him for.
PKR.com have ramped up their progressive games and online slot game offerings, so they can expect to see more casino fans flocking to their casino, better known for the 3D casino and online poker experience. PKR are looking to continue their red hot streak in media, building upon their recent promotions tied in with the World Series of Poker, and are said to be sponsoring a number of upcoming events including the Asian Poker Tour, which is enjoying strong presence in Macau and Philippines of late.
To help cope with the current interest from the world's igaming and gaming entities, Australia's Media Man Australia, the media and publicity company, has ramped up portal development operations and also plans to launch more website portals including more for the gaming sector. MMA's Casino News Media, Australian Casino News and Classic Slots Online have been reporting a rise in rankings in recent months, as they strive to achieve Hitwise Australia top ten status. Media Man director, Greg Tingle, reckons its online a matter of time before Australian gaming figures, John "Singo" Singleton and Gerry Harvey, make a major play into Australian online gaming space, most certainly in the horse racing sector. Pokies baron, Bruce Mathieson, continues to do very well out of his pub pokies deal with Woolworths and the like. Media Man Australia is preparing a pitch to put to their connections at TVS Channel 31 Community TV, and sees the igaming and gaming sector as a new source of revenue for the community media sector. The gaming sector is said to be a significant source of revenue to fund Media Man's philanthropic and community endeavours, so TVS would do well to consider their pitch. Australia's SBS are said to also be open to approaches on new revenue streams, and ABC online has increased their online gaming involvement, with an online "Grandstand's Ultimate Ashes" game available, adding to their "Good Game" offerings.
The Australian government would be watching the igaming developments unfold in the US and Europe, as the game of skill vs games of chance debate continues. Now many sports betting experts are arguing that sports betting is largely a game of skill, following recent court findings on poker. You can bet that the UFC is watching this space closely and a number of sports betting operations in the US are said to have broken records with UFC 100, including BetUS.com, with the Brock Lesnar fight being the prime money maker, both for betting and Pay-Per-View buy rates. One can bet that Sen Stephen Conroy's office would have now heard of the upcoming motion picture staring Kevin Spacey, 'Casino Jack'. Spacey plays lobbyist Jack Abramoff, known for his Indian casino connections and lobbying. His career sees him land him in jail. Expect to hear whispers about the movie by the Tabcorp and Crown Casino fraternity.
Australia has seen a number more incidents at bricks and mortar hotels, pubs and casinos, so having a bet on the pokies at an online casino may be even safer and more enjoyable that one might have first thought. As always, take note of the casino and brand names and reputation, and gamblers are advised to know their limits, meaning set a financial limit and stick to it. In addition, gamblers are advised to ensure their gambling stays enjoyable, and if it stops being fun, its most likely time to stop. As the old Aussie term goes, Bet with your head, not over it.
Our friends at Gambling911, CAP, GPWA and eGaming Review see the gaming and igaming industry as being one of the world's most recession resistant industries, but certainly not recession proof.
Certainly mainstream press in Australia is starting to cover the industry in more details, with regular coverage being offered to the likes of PartyGaming, Joe Hachem (PokerStars connection) and the World Series of Poker.
Whatever side of the gaming, igaming and gambling sector you look into, there's plenty of exciting developments, be it technology advancements, legal developments or just new games, as the industry does its best to be a good corporate citizen and do the right thing by authorities, gaming regulators and players.

PartyGaming saw some of their PartyCasino.com titles enjoy a rise in popularity as Tom Cruise (Mission: Impossible and Top Gun) fame, and his partner, Katie Holmes, have been spending time in Melbourne, using James Packer's Crown Towers as a base.
Aspinalls are making a push with their Aspinalls Online Casino and Aspinalls Online Poker. Aspinalls have quite a colourful history, with the late, great, John Aspinall said to have ties and friendships with Australia's Packer family. In recent years it has been reported that Australia's James Packer has done business deals with Damian Aspinall. No doubt Aspers would be most welcome to accommodate the needs of casino whales, in both an online and offline capacity. Aspinall Jr has been spotted out and about with Australia's Elle "The Body" MacPherson a number of times over the past year, so Aspers wins points for that alone.
Titan Casino and Titan Poker both Playtech powered casinos have also identified the Asia Pacific region as a go ahead region for growth. Titan have come up with some impressive and generous bonuses for signing up at their online casino brands.
JackpotCity and Lucky Nugget Online Casino, both part of the Belle Rock Entertainment family, rose to prominence in Australia last year with their promotion of blockbuster movie hits, Tomb Raider and Hitman. JackpotCity is powered by Microgaming, which incidentally is also the software that powers Australia's Captain Cooks Casino. Captain Cooks Casino is by all accounts a favorite with the Aussies, so it looks like a battle of sorts may be on the horizon for the patronage of players who prefer Microgaming.
Casino Club and Slots Club, both powered by Boss Media, proudly have "Kangaroo Zoo" in their casino game stable. In recent months they have added more games, revamped the websites, and enhanced multi currency options.

New 'Gladiator' Themed Slot Games at CasinoTropez.com
The notoriously popular actor-turned-rapper, Joaquin Phoenix, can now be found
on the new 'Gladiator' themed slot games at CasinoTropez.com.
LONDON
When Joaquin Phoenix announced his retirement from film last year and made his
musical debut as a hip hop artist, Hollywood was taken by surprise. More
recently, Phoenix can be seen at the online Casino Tropez, where his image is
being used on the new 25-line slots game, Gladiator.
Phoenix's career shift into music was unexpected. The aspiring rapper has
shocked both the hip hop community and his fellow thespians with his sudden
change of profession. Whether intentional or not, his career shift has
successfully garnered attention from such events as his recent visit to the
David Letterman Show and a hilarious impersonation delivered by Ben Stiller at
the 81st Annual Oscar Awards.
The slots machine game to which Joaquin has been linked features symbols from
the 5 time Oscar-winning film Gladiator, in which he starred. The unique
mini-film excerpts seen when hitting a big pay-line show the actor at his best,
portraying the fearsome Emperor Commodus. Other slot symbols include the images
of the late Oliver Reed as Proximo.
Journeying to the bonus round is bound to get the adrenalin pumping, as members
travel through winding corridors to the main arena along with the gladiators.
The Gladiator game features two different bonus levels as well as a Gamble
option - giving players the chance to double their winnings.
About CasinoTropez.com:
Award-winning CasinoTropez.com is an industry leader, offering one of the
largest online casino Welcome Bonuses - members receive an amazing €3,000! The
casino provides a secure gaming platform, outstanding Loyalty and VIP programs,
free bonus offers and a professional and friendly 24/7 support team. Powered by
cutting-edge Playtech software (PTEC.L on the LSE), Casino Tropez is exclusively
promoted by Euro Partners, the world`s largest e-gaming affiliate program.

PartyGaming, Aspinalls, Titan Casino, Titan Poker, JackpotCity, Casino Club, Slots Club, Belle Rock, Euro Partners and others target Asia Pacific
The past month has seen a surge of both established and not so established igaming and gaming companies make a push into the Asia Pacific region.
It appears apparent that some of the gaming entities have more than just a casual interest in Australia, judging by some of the game titles. Try "Goanna Gold", "Cool Bananas", "Kangaroo Zoo", and "Shaaark" on for size!

Certainly mainstream press in Australia is starting to cover the industry in more details, with regular coverage being offered to the likes of PartyGaming, Joe Hachem (PokerStars connection) and the World Series of Poker.
Whatever side of the gaming, igaming and gambling sector you look into, there's plenty of exciting developments, be it technology advancements, legal developments or just new games, as the industry does its best to be a good corporate citizen and do the right thing by authorities, gaming regulators and players.

Independent News & Media set for £20m cash boost - 20th July 2009
LONDON - Indebted newspaper group Independent News & Media is in line for a £20m cash injection after a deal was struck for its minority-owned Cashcade online gaming business to be sold to PartyGaming.
The group behind The Independent and The Independent on Sunday is in need of the money to help refinance a €200m (£172m) bond which was originally due to be repaid in May.
It is also attempting to sell its price comparison business Verivox.
IN&M owns 20% of Cashcade, which PartyGaming is buying for £100m.
PartyGaming is understood to be paying £75m of this upfront and the remaining £25m at a later date depending on the business's performance this year and in 2010.
Details of the sum IN&M is due to receive were unavailable but if proportionate it is likely to receive £15m now and £5m at the later date.
IN&M's current "standstill" agreement with the holders of the €200m bond is in place until July 24.
The Sunday Times has reported that the agreement is expected to be renewed until late August or early September.
The acquisition of Cashcade, which owns well-advertised bingo website Foxybingo.com, is likely to be the first of many in the sector for PartyGaming.

World Series of Backgammon Joins Jadestone's New Backgammon Network - CAP
Official launch and press conference July 24, 2009 at the Palm Beach Casino, Cannes
July 15, 2009 (Stockholm, Sweden) – Jadestone Networks, the Nordic based owner and operator of multiplayer gaming networks GamArena and DiceArena, announced today that the World Series of Backgammon (WSOB) is joining their new backgammon network. The official launch will take place on Friday July 24, 2009 in Cannes at the WSOB live event.
The backgammon network, built on Jadestone’s cutting edge DiceArena multiplayer platform, was launched in June and it already includes partners such as bwin, Nordicbet and PAF. The WSOB joins it during a period of rapid growth in player numbers and it will bring with it significant backgammon expertise and a large base of keen backgammon players.
“We’ve already seen that backgammon is a tremendously popular game,” said Robert Henrysson, CEO at Jadestone. “All of our partners are hungry to launch our new version and player numbers in the network have grown every day since early June. We want to become the largest network and to be the first choice for dedicated backgammon players across Europe and this partnership with the WSOB underlines just how serious we are.”
Andy Bell, Managing Director of the WSOB, is also excited about the new partnership and said that: “We’ve been building up to this online backgammon launch on our WSOB site for some time, but we think it was worth the wait; the Jadestone platform is absolutely the right solution for us. From July 24 all backgammon enthusiasts will be able to play online via our site and qualify for WSOB offline events in cities such as Cannes and Prague and for the WSOB Championship in London this October where the expected prize pool will top €300,000. We have a strong field of players lined up to get rolling on our new online site.”
The Jadestone backgammon network is fully compliant with all commonly used competition rule sets and includes the same extensive operations and anti-fraud systems as other DiceArena games. It is an integrated part of the Jadestone Arena games ‘super network’ which means that it shares the player identity system and liquidity with other multiplayer games networks including GamArena. It is available across Europe with support for 25 languages.
On July 24, 2009 the WSOB and Jadestone will officially launch the WSOB branded backgammon site during the Cannes WSOB event at the Palm Beach Casino. Qualifying tournaments for the Prague WSOB event will be online and open from that day.

Greg Tingle comment...
The timing looks to be good, with the World Series of Poker still in many peoples minds, and I think both news media, industry media, and punters will pick up on it. WSOB is likely keen to pick up a few whales also. PartyGaming is another company that has a Backgammon product, PartyGammon, however I don't believe that Party ever pushed hard on their backgammon offering, however I may be mistaken. It did form part of their whole PartyGaming offering however, and gets mentioned in their various press releases, in the series of websites section. Multiplayer games are very hot at the moment and because of this reason we here at Media Man Australia and Casino News Media are developing our own dedicated multiplayer game sections on our website portals. I think the WSOB looks like its going to be a hit, based on the release and other information found online. Their website looks to be of a high standard, which is always a good sign, and of course they have wisely been in touch with CAP, so the word is getting out.

Online casino classic slots most popular
Research findings from media, publicity and portal development company, Media Man Australia, and their igaming arm, Casino News Media, indicate that classic slot games remain the most popular online games in most regions of the world.
Original titles such as Cleopatra, Monopoly, Da Vinci Diamonds lead the way in most markets.
Other themed slots which have become part of pop culture enjoying strong following include Wheel Of Fortune, Tomb Raider, Hitman, Transformers and a number of Marvel Comics titles.
Marvel's The Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four and Iron Man are also starting to be thought as classics, with their history tracing back to the mid 1950's in many cases when Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were busy developing these super hero characters.
The popularity of these themed slot games has facilitated the creation of a number of themed casino game website portals such as Classic Slots Online, Marvel Slots Online and Marvel Heroes Casino.
A number of industry insiders are predicting that other future classic slot games will include iconic WWE Superstars such as Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Hulk Hogan, and the late, great, Andre The Giant.
North Sydney's NextGen Gaming are said to have already started work on an Andre The Giant slot game, and the rumour mill says that PartyGaming's PartyCasino is in the running to pick up the title in either an exclusive or non exclusive deal. PartyGaming already has a connection to the WWE with its relationships and history with such greats as Sly Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both of which feature in current PartyCasino games, RAMBO and THE TERMINATOR.
New variations of these slots are on the cards, be it MegaJackpots, Gold Mega Jackpot, slots tournaments or multi player promotions.
The competition to put out the best games and promotions possible is fierce with industry giants such as PartyGaming, IGT - International Game Technology - WagerWorks, Boss Media, Microgaming, CryptoLogic, Eidos Interactive, Playtech, Real Time Gaming, NextGen Gaming and others pulling out all the stops to satisfy player and industry demands.

Aspers casino set to grow - bdaily - 29th June 2009
Aspers Casino owner Damian Aspinall gives bdaily his views on the evolution of the North East arm of his business
Aspers casino have announced they intend to base their operations in the North East to grow the casino’s brand throughout the country.
Newcastle already has their flagship casino, located at the Gate, which is the busiest casino outside of London, and Aspers is keen to be seen as an “entertainment venue” rather than just a place to gamble.
Casino owner Damian Aspinall was at the Newcastle casino this week to promote their expected growth. He said: “I think this is now one of the most popular indoor entertainment venues in the country, London Zoo gets a million people a year Aspers has half a million.
"For the North East to have one of the premier entertainment venues in the UK I think is a pretty good thing, it’s something they can be very proud of.”
He added: “Originally Newcastle was our first provincial venue. What we were looking for was a major city and also a city that enjoyed itself, enjoyed life. "When we opened this there was nothing like it in the country.
"There was a bit of a gamble on whether people would understand the product, a lot of people thought they wouldn’t, but Newcastle has such a great reputation for going out and enjoying life that it seemed like the right place.
“We’re constantly expanding this business all the time. We signed up on the site with room to grow and I think in the next two or three years we’ll add to the existing site."
Aspers have two other casinos across the country, one in Swansea and the other in Northampton, with another site to be built in Bournemouth.
Not just a casino
Richard Noble, Aspers’ Chief Operations Officer, said: “One myth we come across is that we’re here just for gamers, and we’re not. We cross over all entertainment and we really mean that.
“We had half a million customers last year and we’re looking to increase that number in the future.”
As Aspers grows throughout the country, it hopes the leading site in Newcastle will have a knock-on effect for the surrounding community, with more people through the doors and more business being brought to the region.
Richard said: “Aspers is well and truly on the map. If you talk to anyone within the industry this is the flagship, this is what people aspire to. Newcastle is a great city, and Aspers is a great casino so the two have a good link.
“We certainly have businesses from far afield who choose to come and play here. A lot of people from the Far East do choose to come to Newcastle, people from Glasgow, Manchester and all over the globe choose this as the venue and the city to come to.”
He added: “I think all business will find it tough during the global recession. "Something we strive to do is to hire general managers that are very entrepreneurial, and we give them quite a bit of autonomy to run their businesses. What we’ve found is we’ve actually grown through this process.
"I think if we stand still and do nothing then we’ll be affected like any other business, but we have not seen any effects of the recession so far. We have seen growth consistently month on month but we will be striving for more markets.
"The first area of benefit to the community is jobs, as we’re expanding we’re bringing more and more jobs."
Aspers in the community
Richard says Aspers has strong links with the community to take care of potentially vulnerable “gamers”, and has spearheaded a campaign that sets up links in the area to tackle problem gambling.
Teresa Tunstall, head of social responsibility training at Gamcare, a registered charity and national authority on gambling, said: “We do a lot with Aspers and they are a very busy casino, but they do take their social responsibility seriously and they share a lot of information with us.
“They have a very good programme called CARG (Community Action for Responsible Gaming) and they regularly invite local people, like the local church, licensing authorities, police and members of the community, to talk about their concerns.
“We have worked with Aspers for a long time and by working closely together we can help to eliminate the issues and send problem people to get the right help, like our partner NECA (the North East Council on Addictions).”
Richard Noble reiterated the importance of social responsibility, pointing out that the average person spends £20 in the casino, “similar to what you’d spend at a bowling alley, a cinema and a lot cheaper than having a few drinks on the quayside.”
He said: "We also enter into what’s called a self exclusion agreement with an individual, which is where we have a contract with the person where they won’t enter the premises for six months.
"After that six-month period if they want to re-attend they have to absolutely convince us that whatever problems they had have actually gone. It is only a handful of individuals who potentially get into that circumstance, and it’s not a part of the business we want to see happen – so we will help them. This industry is about having fun, we’re an entertainment centre."
Damien said: "It is an entertainment venue. A third of the people that come to Aspers are women, and if you look at the attendance of other casinos across the UK it’s probably two or three percent.
"That’s the difference, we have a spa and restaurant, a lot of people come here just to have a drink or dinner as opposed to gambling, and that’s our vision, it shouldn’t be just about gambling.

He added: “Originally Newcastle was our first provincial venue. What we were looking for was a major city and also a city that enjoyed itself, enjoyed life. "When we opened this there was nothing like it in the country.
"There was a bit of a gamble on whether people would understand the product, a lot of people thought they wouldn’t, but Newcastle has such a great reputation for going out and enjoying life that it seemed like the right place.
“We’re constantly expanding this business all the time. We signed up on the site with room to grow and I think in the next two or three years we’ll add to the existing site."
Aspers have two other casinos across the country, one in Swansea and the other in Northampton, with another site to be built in Bournemouth.
Not just a casino
Richard Noble, Aspers’ Chief Operations Officer, said: “One myth we come across is that we’re here just for gamers, and we’re not. We cross over all entertainment and we really mean that.
“We had half a million customers last year and we’re looking to increase that number in the future.”
As Aspers grows throughout the country, it hopes the leading site in Newcastle will have a knock-on effect for the surrounding community, with more people through the doors and more business being brought to the region.
Richard said: “Aspers is well and truly on the map. If you talk to anyone within the industry this is the flagship, this is what people aspire to. Newcastle is a great city, and Aspers is a great casino so the two have a good link.
“We certainly have businesses from far afield who choose to come and play here. A lot of people from the Far East do choose to come to Newcastle, people from Glasgow, Manchester and all over the globe choose this as the venue and the city to come to.”
He added: “I think all business will find it tough during the global recession. "Something we strive to do is to hire general managers that are very entrepreneurial, and we give them quite a bit of autonomy to run their businesses. What we’ve found is we’ve actually grown through this process.
"I think if we stand still and do nothing then we’ll be affected like any other business, but we have not seen any effects of the recession so far. We have seen growth consistently month on month but we will be striving for more markets.
"The first area of benefit to the community is jobs, as we’re expanding we’re bringing more and more jobs."
Aspers in the community
Richard says Aspers has strong links with the community to take care of potentially vulnerable “gamers”, and has spearheaded a campaign that sets up links in the area to tackle problem gambling.
Teresa Tunstall, head of social responsibility training at Gamcare, a registered charity and national authority on gambling, said: “We do a lot with Aspers and they are a very busy casino, but they do take their social responsibility seriously and they share a lot of information with us.
“They have a very good programme called CARG (Community Action for Responsible Gaming) and they regularly invite local people, like the local church, licensing authorities, police and members of the community, to talk about their concerns.
“We have worked with Aspers for a long time and by working closely together we can help to eliminate the issues and send problem people to get the right help, like our partner NECA (the North East Council on Addictions).”
Richard Noble reiterated the importance of social responsibility, pointing out that the average person spends £20 in the casino, “similar to what you’d spend at a bowling alley, a cinema and a lot cheaper than having a few drinks on the quayside.”
He said: "We also enter into what’s called a self exclusion agreement with an individual, which is where we have a contract with the person where they won’t enter the premises for six months.
"After that six-month period if they want to re-attend they have to absolutely convince us that whatever problems they had have actually gone. It is only a handful of individuals who potentially get into that circumstance, and it’s not a part of the business we want to see happen – so we will help them. This industry is about having fun, we’re an entertainment centre."
Damien said: "It is an entertainment venue. A third of the people that come to Aspers are women, and if you look at the attendance of other casinos across the UK it’s probably two or three percent.
"That’s the difference, we have a spa and restaurant, a lot of people come here just to have a drink or dinner as opposed to gambling, and that’s our vision, it shouldn’t be just about gambling.

New look for Aspinalls Casino
November 2008
The best of British online casinos has a brand new site showing off its frills of
exclusivity and player incentives.
The month of November saw Aspinalls casino upgrade its website to one resembling
the original brick and mortar casino in Mayfair, London.
We began the process by interpreting the original feel of an institution such as
Aspinalls and translating it to the online format is at most times a dismal attempt
in portraying authenticity by most other casino groups in the online format.
We however done the original Aspinalls Casino justice by simply following Aspinall’s
philosophy of exclusivity, heritage, and good taste; and also by toning down the
kitschyness seen at most online casinos of today.
The new Aspinalls website boasts delicate cream tints harking back the classy
imagery and visual intensity of the unique London casino.
StarPartner had undergone a series of meetings with Aspinalls headed by Damian
Aspinall, son of John the man who founded the original land based casino in the
early 60’s, before it was decided that the online version would need an urgent
makeover not only in its eye-catching capabilities but also in its player incentives
and bonus perks.
Apart from its new design and usability improvements, Aspinalls Casino has also
given its casino members an accumulated amount of £600 for merely depositing at
the casino.
Players will have to make 3 initial deposits adding up to £1200 in order to receive
the inducement of £600. At 50% one may think that such a bonus may be well under
the norm compared to those of other online casinos. However, Aspinalls Casinos
does give its match bonus of 50% on the hefty amount £1200 therefore highly
contrasting the match bonus of 150% on £40. The difference here is that Aspinalls
match bonus is simply a high-roller bonus from the start.
