PartyCasino Wins Media Man Online Casino Award, by Greg Tingle - 30th December 2009

PartyCasino.com Wins Media Man Online Casino Award

PartyCasino.com has once again been awarded the Media Man and Casino News Media "Online Casino Of The Month".

The competition for the coveted award was intense again this month with massive bids from both Captain Cooks Casino and Virgin Casino, however there can only be one winner... ladies and gentlemen, that's PartyCasino.com

The award follows PartyPoker's EGR Poker Operator Of The Year and PartyGaming also made the shortlist for EGR Operator Of The Year. Last month PartyGaming's PartyPoker.com also won the Casino News Media "Online Poker Website Of The Month".

The Media Man - Casino News Media accolade is based on a combination of elements including user experience, innovation, trustworthiness, customer service, gameplay, affiliate program offerings, newsworthiness and company values.

PartyCasino.com is one of a number of PartyGaming brands.

The most popular PartyCasino.com games of late include Rambo, The Godfather, Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Mission: Impossible, The Terminator, Cleopatra, Sinatra, Thor, The Hulk, Monopoly, Resident Evil and Mega Fortune Wheel. Last month a German casino player won the Gold Mega Jackpot of almost $5 million dollars playing Mega Fortune Wheel.

The PartyCasino.com jackpot is currently approaching the $1 million mark. Players can also compete for the Marvel Hero Jackpot, playing the Marvel super hero themed online slot games.

PartyCasino's most recent game releases include Tarzan, High Noon and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

PartyGaming CEO Jim Ryan has gone on record advising PartyCasino will soon feature more Hollywood blockbuster themed slots. A few in the know journalists and media agents have been recently tipped off that pro wrestling themed online slot games are in the works and that an all time classic movie adaption will be showcased in the PartyCasino portfolio within 3 months. Names been thrown around include Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, but those names are only rumors, however a print feature did showcase Andre earlier in the year, indicating that there is substance to the rumor mill. In any event, PartyCasino already has the world's most impressive line up of Hollywood themed games, and more are just around the corner.

In other exciting PartyGaming news, PartyPoker.com is currently running qualifiers to the L.A Poker Classic in the United States. PartyGaming's recent purchase of the World Poker Tour company and assets enables PartyGaming to once again accept American based poker players, and they are hopefully of soon accepting American casino players also. Both websites accept most European, South American and Australian players.

PartyCasino.com and PartyPoker.com customers can also benefit from rewards and bonuses via PartyPoints and the Palladium Lounge. Be certain to check out the PartyCasino exclusive "Cash Machine" that is being championed as one of the greatest online casino promos ever.

Media Man, Casino News Media and Global Gaming Directory do have a b2b relationship with PartyGaming, as they do with dozens of other companies in the gaming and igaming industry.

Virgin Games: Brand Profiles - Virgin Casino News - Start The New Year Right!

Virgin Casino

Virgin Casino is packed full of Vegas favourites from Wheel of Fortune and Price is Right to 6 different versions of Blackjack and 4 different versions of Roulette. You'll also find some of the most entertaining and unique slots on the web with Monopoly on a Roll and Cluedo.

Virgin Casino runs a 24 hour call centre, credits casino payouts quickly (between 24 and 72 hours) and with full Gamcare Certification is one of the safest places to play online. The casino does not accept bets from the USA or jurisdictions where online gaming is illegal.

V*POINTS
At Virgin Casino we figure that it's about time you got more rewards back from your play. That's why we are thrilled to introduce you to V*POINTS, where you'll earn points that can be exchanged for cash or a range of exciting Virgin rewards every time you play. More...

Promotions
If that's not enough, new players will also find signing up is sweetened by a 100% sign up match bonus up to £100 and there are regular cash and prize bonus promotions that run throughout every month of the year.

Virgin Poker

Virgin Poker is all about value. Apologies for the marketing speak but we've tried to pack as much extra value into the great game of poker as possible. That naturally means freerolls and decent guaranteed tournaments (without the whole world in them) but it also means V*POINTS.

Tournaments

Poker players will find plenty of action day or night from a range of games including Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Stud and 5 Card Draw. The call centre is 24/7 and there's manager chat for any queries players might have.

Tournaments run regularly and new players will find a daily €35 freeroll as well as a 100,000 V*POINT freeroll every Sunday. There's a full selection of Multi Table tournaments including a weekly €20,000 guaranteed, a monthly €100,000 guaranteed tournament and satellites for all major events including the EPT and WPT.

Naturally there's also free play on offer at Virgin Poker but with games starting from 5 cents and a weekly 100,000 V*POINT freeroll we think you'll get a taste for the real thing pretty quickly.

V*POINTS
Players earn V*POINTS for every cash hand played on both tournament and cash tables. Whether you win or lose you, every time you play a hand you earn V*POINTS, Simple. Players can then exchange V*POINTS for lots of Virgin extras. That's Virgin Atlantic Flying Club miles, Virgin Vouchers that can be spent on a variety of things from mobile top-ups to digital downloads, and of course Virgin Poker cash for the tables.

Promotions
New players will enjoy a cool 100% match deposit bonus up to £100 plus daily €35 freeroll as well as a 100,000 V*POINT freeroll every Sunday.

Virgin Bingo

Virgin Bingo is part of the Virgin Games family and is wholly owned by the Virgin Group. Quite simply we believe that gaming should be fun and entertaining. It should be rewarding whether you win or lose. That's why at this site your players will enjoy the best bingo, slots and video poker around, and we will offer them unique prizes unobtainable on any other sites - we simply want your players to have a great time.

V*POINTS
At Virgin Bingo we figure that it's about time you got more rewards back from your play, so we are revamping our loyalty scheme and launching a brand new scheme called V*POINTS. In a nutshell, this now means you will earn reward points when playing for real money on all Virgin Bingo games.

Promotions
New players will enjoy 100% match deposit bonus up to £100.

Virgin Games is part of Richard Branson's world famous Virgin Group of companies.

Bejeweled

PartyCasino.com offers unique promotions and player rewards which are widely regarded as the best in the industry. Players can enjoy rewards and bonuses with PartyPoints and the Palladium Lounge, both of which have generous rewards year round and are popular with both new and experienced players, so whether a casino virgin or VIP old hand at the games, there's something for you.

PartyGaming is the parent company of PartyCasino, established in 1997, and is the most successful online company in the world, listed on the London Stock Exchange and winner of numerous EGR Awards, in addition to Casino News Media and Media Man awards and commendations.

Players from most countries can access PartyCasino and PartyPoker. PartyCasino is ranked by many authorities as being the superior online casino for Australia, Europe and South America.

PartyCasino is hopeful of accepting paid American players in 2010, however PartyGaming made a successful purchase of the World Poker Tour late this year allowing players to become more familiar with PartyGaming products and services the world over.

Most games can be played for free or played for money and are available in a range of multi language and multi currency options. PartyGaming's call centre is open around the clock 24/7/365.

Jackpot offerings include Gold Mega Jackpot, Marvel Hero Jackpot and Super Hero Jackpot.

Major innovations at PartyCasino.com include Live Dealer and Single Wallet, and 2010 will see "Avatar" like technologies arrive.

Latest games include the Call Of Duty 4 slot and Melon Madness jackpot slot. 2010 will deliver more Hollywood themed classics, and rumors suggest to be on the lookout for games including pro wrestling also, be it Andre The Giant, Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair. Wrestling Legend Hulk Hogan actually purchased the rights to use the name "Hulk" from Marvel Comics in the 80's, but that's another story. Certainly Party do have positive history in wrestling, Hollywood and Marvel Comics circles. This is evidenced in the public domain not only by The Hulk slot game, but also by Stallone's Rambo slot, Tom Cruise's Top Gun slot and Schwarzenegger's The Terminator. Terminator Salvation features Australia's Sam Worthington, and insiders predict more Terminator games may be on the way.

PartyGaming is licensed and regulated by the Government of Gibraltar, with offices around the world, and have been at the leading edge of innovation, customer service and all round excellence for over a decade. Players and partners alike can be assured they are in safe hands at PartyGaming.

Virgin Casino Gets Super Hero Slot Games, by Greg Tingle - December 2009

Virgin Casino and Virgin Bingo see new games rolled out thanks to a deal signed with giant software provider, Cryptologic.

Cryptologic's popular The Hulk, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four have leapt into action at Richard Branson's Virgin Games operation.

History buffs will be interested to know that it was living legend, Stan Lee, who was a driving force in developing many of the Marvel super hero characters over the decades. Lee also appears in Marvel motion pictures from time to time, usually in cameo roles.

"Big brands drive player popularity and that is why Cryptologic is excited to launch a game based on Superman, one of the most iconic brands of the entertainment world," said the President and CEO of Cryptologic, Brian Hadfield.

Other new games to be found at Virgin Casino include NextGen Gaming's Blankety Blank and The Price is Right, Cryptologic's Cubis, Virtue Fusion's Dynamite Digger and Ash Gaming's Rubik's Slot.

Virgin Games offer a rewards system, V*Points, which is regarded as one of the industry top reward programs.

2010 will see more new games released at Virgin, and be on the lookout for more Marvel hero themed movies to hit the cinema including Thor and Iron-Man II, and don't be surprised to see more super hero themed games to hit Virgin in the coming months. As Stan Lee says, EXCELSIOR!

Play for free or play for money at Richard Branson's Virgin Games.

PartyGaming's PartyCasino and PartyPoker in line for more awards, by Greg Tingle - 18th December 2009

As the countdown towards Christmas continues, with just seven days to go, the igaming industry remains as competitive as ever. It shouldn't surprise anyone, punter, newbie or industry veteran, that PartyGaming and its PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands are in line for more industry awards and commendations.

PartyGaming remains the world’s leading listed online gaming company. Founded in 1997, the
Group has its shares listed on The London Stock Exchange.

Coming off a wave of momentum with its successful purchase of World Poker Tour (WPT Enterprises), Cashcade a number of months ago, and the release of a swag of new slot games, the company is tipped to continue domination of the gaming and igaming world.

Party's awards and commendations include eGaming Review Operator Of The Year and Socially Responsible Operator Of The Year.

This month PartyCasino.com has made the shortlist for Media Man - Casino News Media Online Casino Of The Month, and PartyPoker.com gets to the finals for the Media Man - Casino News Media Online Poker website Of The Month.

The company also achieved inclusion in the FTSE4Good Index Series and last month won 'Best Communications by a private sector company' for the second year running at the CorpComms Awards. PartyCasino and PartyPoker also carry the eCOGRA seal of approval.

As the company looks forward to the new year they look to continue innovation, value for money, world class service, and growth into new geographic regions including South America, Indian, France and the Asia Pacific.

PartyGaming will continue to revamp its websites including it's ever growing PartyCasino.com site, thanks to the frequent games being added and its newly acquired Club WTP website, now sporting a PartyGaming look and feel to it.

PartyGaming remains poised to make more inroads into the United States coming off the back of its purchase of WPT Enterprises (U.S residents can play online poker on the Club World Poker Tour website without potential legal complications). PartyPoker.com ambassador, Stewart Scott, has just been doing a fine job promoting the PartyGaming and PartyPoker.com brand on a national and international basis, and will be defending his poker championship at Aussie Millions 2010 this January at Mr Packer's Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia.

PartyGaming sites are available in a wide array of languages and currencies, and are available for play around the lock. Players can enjoy most games in either free mode or play for money mode. Last month the PartyCasino jackpot of close to $5 million dollars was one, and as we head towards Christmas the jackpot nears $1 million. PartyCasino also offers the Marvel Hero Jackpot, thanks to their business agreement with Marvel Entertainment. Insiders tip that Thor and The Hulk are the most popular Marvel slots at present, and this may be related to a Thor movie in the works and wrestling living legend, Hulk Hogan, being very prominent in the press of late, just returning to the United States after his successful Hulkamania tour of Australia. A bit of history...Hogan bought the rights to use "Hulk" from Marvel in the 1980's for a million dollars or thereabouts. Rumors persist of a potential Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and Andre The Giant online slot machine in the new year, but that's another story for another time.

PartyGaming also offers a number of other world class promotions such as Cash Machine, Monthly Million, Slotastic Sundays, and reward offerings, PartyPoints and the very popular Palladium Lounge which has proved to be a must visit destination for PartyGaming VIP's.

It's been a hugely successful year for PartyGaming and the industry and players alike expect more groundbreaking developments from the company as 2010 approaches.

*the writer has a b2b relationship with a number of PartyGaming brands, as they do with dozens of other brands in the gaming and igaming world.

The DC Super Heroes are not the only big entertainment brands making their debuts at Internet casinos this fall. CryptoLogic's other new games are based on feature film characters Forrest Gump and Braveheart, following a multi-year deal signed with Paramount Digital Entertainment.

"Big brands drive player popularity, and that is why CryptoLogic is excited to launch a game based on Superman, one of the most iconic brands of the entertainment world," said Brian Hadfield, CryptoLogic's President and CEO. "By also adding Forrest Gump and Braveheart, CryptoLogic continues its industry leadership in launching branded games that resonate with both the casual and serious player. We aim for these games to be both popular and profitable."

The new game pack also features video slot games Just Vegas and Fumi's Fortune, a new table game in Perfect Pairs Blackjack, and the Asian influenced game Sic-Bo. Also introduced is a "Double Double Bonus" variant added to CryptoLogic's video poker line up.

New lobby enhances casino software experience

CryptoLogic has also unveiled a dramatic new lobby - now implemented at www.InterCasino.com - for its acclaimed downloadable Internet casino software. Using the newest interactive technology, the lobby enables improved navigation and search, an updated jackpot counter, customized features that allow players to keep track of their favourites, and a game suggestion engine to connect the player to other CryptoLogic games.

Superman

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman! CryptoLogic brings non-stop casino game action in one of their most anticipated branded games ever. The company's third release with DC Comics features 50 lines and an optional bonus bet plus a unique expanding wilds free game feature. Players who trigger the feature will earn a chance to save the world, maneuvering though meteor fields, destroying missiles and leaving their mark as the World's Greatest DC Super Hero.

Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump says that life is like a box of chocolates, and the same holds true for CryptoLogic's new 25-line slot game. Players will never know what they're going to get: a big payout or one of three bonus features including the smashing new 5-level Hollywood Jackpots. Players will yell "Run, Forrest run!" as the excitement never stops.

Braveheart

The new Braveheart slot machine isn't eligible to win an Academy Award(R), but the movie that inspired it took home five of the golden statues. William Wallace is captured with all the sights, sounds and excitement of the feature film. Will the Scottish side prevail in the Battle Free Games feature, or will Longshanks put down the rebellion? You'll have to play to find out.

JUST VEGAS

Players will visit the glitzy and thrilling world of Sin City in this new All Pays slot game from CryptoLogic. It's like playing four games in one as Just Vegas offers players the choice of three completely different free game features, each with unique graphics, sounds and rules. Play with Stacked Wilds at the Asian Casino, increase your chances of re-triggering the feature at the Egyptian Casino, or have all your line wins multiplied by five at the Roman Casino. What happens in Just Vegas will not stay in Vegas, as players are sure to tell friends about this riveting new slot game.

FUMI'S FORTUNE

Fans of Japanese Game shows will enjoy the fast-paced action of Fumi's Fortune. Hosts Fumi and Aki preside in their wacky, manic studio, where players spin for Fumi money. Players will shout "Banzai!" after experiencing this entertaining game with its eye-popping graphics.

PERFECT PAIRS BLACKJACK

Based on the hole-card version of Blackjack, Perfect Pairs Blackjack is very similar to the Atlantic City and Vegas Blackjack variants in the current casino suite, with some small changes. There is an optional side-bet based on the player's first two cards and the popular surrender option is included. The gaming action is fast, and the potential winning furious, in CryptoLogic's new table game.

SIC-BO

Sic Bo had its origins in ancient Chinese gambling games and is very popular in casinos around the world. Players have the opportunity to place many types of wagers on the outcome of each round which consists of rolling three, six-sided dice. Bets are placed on individual dice, combinations of dice, and the totals of the three dice combined. CryptoLogic created three different types of Sic-Bo pay tables, with bets as low as 0.10 for Macau rules, 1.00 for Atlantic City, and 10.00 for the VIP version using the Australian pay table.

"These new games highlight CryptoLogic's extraordinary e-gaming innovation - and the extraordinary diversity of the brands in our stable," said Justin Thouin, CryptoLogic's Vice President. "With Superman, Braveheart and Forrest Gump in one game pack, it's a powerful blend of big brands and big games."

‘GAMAGO’ HITS RECORD PARTYCASINO GOLD MEGA JACKPOT AND MAKES ONLINE GAMING HISTORY
$45 SPINS UP TO $4,978,336.62 ON THE MEGA FORTUNE WHEEL!

Gibraltar – 8th December 2009 – The Gold Mega Jackpot at PartyCasino.com has finally been hit and one lucky player is a staggering $4,978,336.62 better off! The jackpot was by far the biggest in the industry and is a landmark for the world’s largest online casino!

The lucky player is ‘gamago,’ a member of the PartyGaming VIP Club, the Palladium Lounge, from Germany. He was delighted by his record breaking win.

“I was so shocked when I won the jackpot and the news still really hasn’t sunk in! I have to say I had my eye on the big jackpot but I really don’t play aiming for them, I play for fun. I have won $50,000 and $100,000 jackpots before but nothing on this scale. It is unbelievable that one spin has given me nearly $5 million!”

The fateful spin came at 20.42ET on December 2nd. The stake was $45 on popular PartyCasino.com Gold Mega Jackpot game, the Mega Fortune Wheel. The screen exploded with congratulations and colour as ‘gamago’ turned $45 into $4,978,336.62!

Clearly, nearly $5 million is a life changing amount of money but ‘gamago’ has no real view on what he is going to be doing with this record windfall. “To be honest, I don’t have any plans on what I am going to do with the money as yet.”

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “We would like to congratulate ‘gamago’ on taking down this monster record Gold Mega Jackpot and making online gaming history. We assumed the jackpot would reach $5 million and stated as such but this record Gold Mega Jackpot hit shortly after we published those fateful words! ‘gamago’ is a valued member of the Palladium Lounge and we wish him well with his newly found mega riches!”

PartyCasino.com now offers over 130 games, including 93 slots, and pays out easily over $10 million EVERY DAY to players. The world’s largest online casino continues to expand rapidly.

Recent popular additions include Resident Evil, The Naked Gun, High Noon and Bejeweled. Other new additions such as Tarzan and Multi-Hand BlackJack Pro were developed in house by PartyGaming’s specialist unit ‘The Games Studio.’ Gold Mega Jackpot games are: The Godfather, Mega Fortune Wheel, Super Joker, Super Mystic, Super Fortune Wheel and Super Star.

Christmas is coming to PartyCasino.com early. The ‘Festive Frenzy’ sees the world’s largest online casino give away cash gifts, bonuses and PartyPoints worth a huge $500,000 - all for free.

Christmas gifts of cash, bonuses and PartyPoints will appear in the Lobby from 10th to 24th December. If a customer spots one, make sure they click ’accept’ and PartyCasino.com will credit it to their account.

A PartyCasino.com spokesman said: “The gifts will get bigger and we’ll give more of them away the closer we get to Christmas Day, so keep your eyes peeled. Your chances of getting a gift get better the more you play. You can also win a share of $100,000 on our massive Festive Frenzy leader board.

Marvel Studios chairman to step down - 7th December 2009

David Maisel, who was instrumental in securing the funding with which Marvel Entertainment could finance its own slate of films, will step down as chairman of Marvel Studios when Disney's acquisition of the comicbook company wraps up.

The exec joined Marvel in 2004 as prexy of the studio and was later upped to chairman in 2007, after he helped raise the $525 million that enabled the company to start financing and producing its own pics, starting with "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk" reboot.

Maisel will continue to serve asan exec producer on Marvel's next three movies, "Iron Man 2," "Thor" and "The First Avenger: Captain America," while pursuing other opportunities.

Kevin Feige, Marvel's production prexy, will now serve as its main man for the Mouse House, reporting directly to Walt Disney Studios chairman Rich Ross.

Maisel once worked at Disney as director of corporate development and strategic planning, a division that played a role in Disney's stealth $4 billion acquisition of Marvel, announced in August. Maisel is credited with being the first exec at Marvel to start talks with the Mouse House about a potential merger.

Maisel was also a key player in helping Michael Ovitz broker Matsushita's sale of MCA Universal to Seagram in 1995 during his tenure at CAA.
