King Solomons Casino Review

King Solomons Casino is under new management and not working with affiliates, I DO NOT recommend playing there at this time.

Since 1998, King Solomons Casino has been in the business of providing quality online gaming to players all over the world, with RTG software in the past, and now using the Playtech software platform. Available in a number of languages and currencies, including CAD, the casino is ideal for just about any player’s location.

They are licensed by the government in Curacao, and have been going strong for over a decade and show no signs of slowing down.

With over 200 of the most sought after games in the business, available in both download and instant play, there is no wonder why so many players choose King Solomons for their online gaming needs. All of the most popular Marvel themed slot games, including my favorites Iron Man 2 and The Incredible Hulk. Also, there are more than enough classic slots and other great video slots to keep players spinning their worries away.

Table games, card games, video pokers and more are just a click away and the most classic of games can be found in their respective section. The great thing about the Playtech platform is the ability of being able to play classic games with modern twists, such as multi-wheel roulette. Arcade games and specialty games are also on offer, and there is truly something for every player.

Gaming Club Casino Review

Since 1994 Gaming Club Casino has been using the Microgaming platform to deliver quality upscale gaming to players all around the world. Licensed and fully regulated in Gibraltar, players can expect to be treated fair and right every time they log onto play. Their software is perfect for players worldwide as it’s available in a number of languages in currencies, including CAD.

Gaming Club must be doing something right to be in the business for all of these years, and today they are still going strong with a near flawless reputation. As part of the Belle Rock Group of casinos, which are accredited across numerous online gaming portals; players can expect second to none gaming.

Over 500 games are available in a short download, however; for those players looking to get into the action sooner, there is an instant play version of the casino readily available. The flash version is perfect for Mac users; however it doesn’t host as many games as the download client. Microgaming has the most popular casino games online, and all of them are found at Gaming Club, including the massive progressive jackpot games.

The games menu is neatly organized and players will find slot games, of all variety, and table games that mimic those found on a Vegas casino floor. The video slot section accounts for more than 220 of the games on offer, and most of the slot games on the menu are rewarding and exciting. There are themes for just about everything, and no slot lover would be without entertainment.

The specialty games selection is perfect for those players looking for a little change in pace. Keno and multiplayer games are there for the choosing should the player want something different to quench their online gaming thirst. New games are always being added to the lobby so keep your eye out for the latest releases.

Promotions and bonus offers are impressive at Gaming Club and upon sign up new players are given 100% and 150% bonuses on their first and second deposits.

Sterling Silver 3D

Sterling Silver 3D is a fairly new Microgaming powered online slot machine which has 5-reels and 25-paylines. This is the first true 3D slot machine offered by the software, so you can imagine the popularity of the game since its release. This is just not ordinary 3D game; you actually need those funny looking glasses to fully enjoy the effects of the graphics.

The symbols on the screen really come to life and pop out at you while you play, granted you have your awesome specs on. The symbols are classic slot game icons such as high playing card values, Bars, Wilds and Scatters.

All of the symbols are 3D, the type that you need the old red and blue glasses for, and there are plenty of cool animations as you spin. The wild symbol is the Sterling Silver symbol and it acts as a substitute for all other icons in the game except the scatter logo, and it’s also a multiplier that can multiply your win up to 10x!

When three scatter symbols land during the same spin, you will receive 15 free spins. All wins during the free games are doubled and the wild is active acting as an additional multiplier. The games can be re-triggered as well; making it possible to receive an unlimited amount of spins.

The coin denominations start low at $0.01 and peak at $.25 per payline. You can also change the paylines that are enabled, however; it’s always best to keep as many lines in play as possible. The maximum bet per spin is 5 per payline, making it a high maximum bet at $31.50. The maximum payout is $100,000 when playing maximum coin stake, however; no matter your bet size the jackpots are awesome.

All in all Sterling Silver 3D is a unique slot experience and is well worth playing. If you find yourself at your favourite Microgaming online casino, I recommend giving it a spin or two. Even without the glasses the payout potential is enough to keep players spinning their way into three dimensional wins.

Full Tilt Poker and Pokerstars Black Friday Update

Even almost 8 months later, Black Friday, the huge online poker scandal that took place in April of this year, is still making headlines in the world of online poker. While Pokerstars, one of the biggest brands in the takedown, is doing quite well without USA players, Full Tilt Poker has been taken down completely.

The sweeping indictment that took place April 15th 2011 took down some of the biggest names in online poker including Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. Since then other poker rooms have followed suit and took their business out of the USA marketplace.

It just got worse as time went on and we have seen more and more casinos and poker rooms removing themselves from the USA market and going all out to make sure they stay away from the watchful eye of the Department of Justice. It’s nowhere near over as far as the legislation is concerned, however, Pokerstars seem to be thriving more now than in the past.

Full Tilt Poker was not as lucky. They have completely closed down shop to all players causing speculation of money troubles and legal woes. The truth is still not completely black and white and the details are being kept private as there is some hope that another brand will purchase FT in the near future. Some of the claims against FT are quite scary but I won’t go into detail until things are proven.

Absolute Poker and UB.com, both owned and operated by the same management, are still going strong as well. It will take more than a criminal indictment to bring them down as we all have seen the brand behind the group in very compromising positions in the past and they still somehow made it in the industry without affecting their bottom line.

As far as other poker rooms, there are still a few that are accepting USA players like Luvin Poker, Cake Poker and Carbon, however; there is a final blow to the industry coming very shortly. Bodog Poker is halting all business with USA players in the next few weeks and it will be interesting to see how they do without the huge USA player base.

It all boils down to making it and survival and it seems that Full Tilt just couldn’t handle the pressure. Only time will tell just how much impact the industry will sustain due to the Black Friday events. For complete details keep checking back to TheCanadianGambler.com as updates will be added when they become available.

Personally, I don’t think it’s a huge loss. I’m not much of a poker player, but I have heard many bad things about these big online poker sites and it makes me wonder how often the games were actually fair. It seems to me that you have a better chance of a fair game by playing at smaller online poker sites.

Multi-Million Dollar Win at a Microgaming Casino

Casino Rewards, an online gaming company which manages more casinos than any other group online has another millionaire to brag about. They have made A.D., a new player in the world of online gaming, $5.2 million dollars richer with a single spin of the progressive jackpot slot game Mega Moolah.

This is the second millionaire to win the jackpot at a Casino Rewards managed online casino, which uses Microgaming as their platform, and this recent jackpot will go down in history as the biggest jackpot win since Casino Rewards opened their virtual doors a little over a decade ago.

In 2008 there was a winner on the very same slot machine that brought home $5 million dollars after a single spin of the reels so it seems Casino Rewards has the “it” machines when it comes to making millionaires.

In total, Casino Rewards offers 16 progressive slot machines to their players; all of which are also offered at other Microgaming powered online casinos. The greatest thing about this win is how it was won – a free bonus! That’s right – the player used a free bonus they received when they registered their account. These free bonuses are offered at quite a few casinos from the brand and the fact that the player won $5,201,558.97 off of free cash it makes the win a whole lot sweeter, and to top it all off, it was only a 50 cent bet!

Casino Rewards has been a steady group in online gaming and continues to prove themselves worthy of players business. If you haven’t already, check out the 32 Casino Rewards casinos offered here and maybe you’ll spin your way into a life changing jackpot.

Throne of Egypt, Crocodopolis, and Doctor Love

Three new slots were released to Microgaming casinos early in November 2011. Throne of Egypt, Crocodopolis, and Doctor Love. Just like last month, it appears to be one original Microgaming slot, and two others that were brought over from a different software.

Throne of Egypt is obviously the slot designed by Microgaming, there’s no mistaking their unique designs. I still don’t understand why they are bringing slots in from different software providers, they have the most slots already, and in my opinion, they are the best at designing them. The slots they are bringing in are decent, but I just don’t see the point.

Either way, it’s still three more slots for you to enjoy at these Microgaming Casinos.

Throne of Egypt has 25 paylines, stacked wilds on all reels, free spins, and a multi-level bonus feature. The Free Spins feature is triggered when scatter symbols land on the first and last reel during the same spin. You are awarded 15 free spins with all wins doubled. Free spins can be re-triggered and the bonus feature can be triggered during free spins.

The multi-level Bonus Feature is triggered when three Bonus symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4 during the same spin. The first level allows you to pick from 12 scarabs, each one reveals prizes and possibly a key. Finding the key takes you to the second level where you pick from 9 jewels, once again revealing prizes while you look for the key. Find they key there and you are taken to the final level where you choose one of three baskets carried by beautiful princesses to reveal a multiplier for the prizes collected in the lower levels.

Crocodopolis is a 25 payline slot with free spins and the “Slide-a-Wild” feature that allows you to change the dynamics of the game. You can move the wild to one of the five reels, and that is the only reel it will show up on with different features for each reel. If you move it to reel 1, the wild will appear there and double all wins it is involved in. If the wild is on reel 2, it will multiply wins by 3. When the wild is on reel 3, it becomes an expanding wild with no multiplier. On reel 4 it is an expanding wild that multiplies wins by 3. Finally, if you slide the wild to reel 5, the entire reel is always wild and multiplies wins by 3. Free spins are triggered when three golden pyramid symbols land on reels 2, 3, and 4. You are awarded 12 free spins with all wins doubled.

I find the Slide-a-Wild feature both interesting and frustrating at the same time. I like to put it on reel 5 so there is always a wild there, then every 5-of-a-kind would be x3, but haven’t hit any really big wins yet.

Doctor Love is a 20 payline slot with wild symbols and a free spins feature. Free spins are triggered when 3, 4, or 5 scatter symbols land on the reels during the same spin. You are awarded 10, 15, or 20 free spins based on the number of scatters triggering the feature and all wins are doubled.

Play these new slots today at any Microgaming online casino.

Lucky Red Casino Review

Lucky Red is a sleek and sexy online casino powered by the RealTime Gaming (RTG) platform. Part of the Club World Group of Casinos, and licensed in Curacao; players can expect to get a fair and honest game when they log on to play at Lucky Red. Launched in 2009, this casino has quickly become one of the most trusted places to play online. The software is audited by a third party frequently to ensure fairness and randomness for all; carrying the eCOGRA seal of approval proudly on their website.

Speaking of the website, that’s where all the action begins. Players can access the casino directly from their browser, or download the casino client; depending on their personal preference.

The download for the casino is simple and fast, and the registration takes only a few moments.

Go Wild Casino is now closed. Licensed and regulated in Malta, the company behind the casino promises to deliver a quality gaming experience to players every time they log on and Go Wild. Launched back in 2008, the casino has quickly become one of the most trusted and reputable sites online for gamblers around the world.

The casino is available in a download or an instant play, so all operating systems are compatible. If you have a Windows operating system, I would suggest downloading the casino to access all of the games and experience much better graphics than the instant play version. No matter what interests you most about playing online, there is a game and a bet size here for you.

The website is where all the magic begins and the sleek and modern site is jam packed with information regarding the casino, including all of the promotions, game previews and support details.

See the screenshot to the right of the video slots menu in the newly updated software from Microgaming, the lobby and games now fill the entire screen on a widescreen monitor.

Table games are also fun and exciting. The blackjack, roulette and pokers will keep card and classic table game lovers coming back for more, time and time again. The video pokers also offer the player a huge variety of games including multi-hand games, wild card games and more.

Let’s not forget about the tournament lobby. It’s always live and full of action with freerolls and buy-in competitions where you can go head to head with other players and climb your way to the top of the leaderboard. The prize pools are often generous and the competition is fierce.

The progressive jackpots that come with these slots are also available and waiting to be won. The video slots section is jam packed with many games to choose from and no matter what piques your interest most about slot games, there is something here for you.

Table games, card games and specialty games are also available and get your blood pumping with provocative payout potential. The games in the Arcade game menu offer a nice change in pace for players that want a little something different while playing online, and the video poker menu is complete with a ton of variety.
