• King Cashalot Rules Over New Games

September 2, 2004 – Isle of Man - Online casino players are in for a diversity of treats in the August new games releases from top turnkey provider Microgaming. Pick of the bunch is King Cashalot, a 5 reel, 9 line, multiple coin, progressive video slot game with a wild multiplier and scatter symbol and a fun, three chance, player choice bonus feature. The theme is, as the name suggests Medieval and the brightly coloured artwork abounds with golden dragons and beautiful damsels, sumptuous feasts and a host of colorful characters, all backed with stunning sound effects. Players can bet up to 5 coins on each of the 9 paylines, taking the maximum wager per spin to 45 coins, and as usual only max bets qualify for the serious Jackpot Madness network progressive jackpot which happens when 5 King Cashalots line up on the 9 th payline. Adding to the excitement are Wild Multiplier and Scatter symbols coupled with a humorous theme that ensures players will be thoroughly entertained. The Jester is the Scatter symbol, through which wins calculated on the total number of credits staked are added to payline wins. King Cashalot is the symbol to watch for however, because being a Wild Multiplier he will double a win, when completing a valid winning combination. He substitutes for all symbols except for Scatters and the Treasure Bonus symbol. The monarch also grants extra treasure in the Bonus feature, triggered by his pet Golden Dragon. Scattered on reels 2, 3 and 4, when hit these mythical creatures open a vault where generous King Cashalot himself offers the player three chances to keep or pick again from eight bulging Treasure Chests. Also joining the Jackpot Madness network is Tunzamunni , an important addition to the Microgaming progressive range because it is the groups first nickel progressive reel slot. Presented with the popular tribal treasure theme, this game will appeal to the many players who prefer the straightforward 3 reel, 1 payline format. Hidden deep in the jungle lies a forgotten treasure waiting for a lucky adventurer to stumble across its golden threshold. Tunzamunni's bold graphics and crystal clear digital sound will carry the theme and are sure to attract tons of action. For players in the mood for some European lifestyle gambling sharpened by the edginess of the hugely popular Thunderstruck style slot action, Tally Ho is the best bet. Modeled on the feature-rich Thunderstruck, Tally Ho is as exciting...and maybe even more rewarding. Based on a 5 Reel, 9 Line, 10 Coin game, with a Wild Multiplier, a Scatter symbol and a Free Spin Bonus feature, Tally Ho is an adrenalin pump, and has 10 Free Spins with a 4x Multiplier for every win during the feature. The Gamble feature allows players to gamble 2x or 4x the win and the presentation is characterized by advanced game features, digital sound and dynamic graphics and animations. Up to 90 coins in various denominations can be wagered at a time on the maximum bet In keeping with the ancient "Tally Ho" hunting cry, the best rewards come from Lord and Lady Fox, although through the multiplier and significant free spin advantages the bold gambler can get through the Wild Stallion and Scatter hunting horns, winnings as high as 120 000 Credits are possible. The theme is more British than European, and humourously depicts some classic icons. The wild multiplier symbol is a powerful stallion, and gleaming hunting horns identify the scatters that activate 10 free spins (and more free spins can be achieved within the feature). Add vintage sports cars, strawberries and cream, Georgian mansions with noble crests and cucumber sandwiches and there's a definite genteel feel despite the hectic action. Answering European market demand, French Roulette has been developed, giving a cutting edge update to a classic traditional casino game still immensely popular in Europe. Everyone from novice player to sophisticated spy will enjoy the glamour and excitement of Microgaming's latest table game. Using the revolutionary and multi-featured Viper software as a platform, Microgaming designers have captured the look and sounds of the game, which was first introduced in the late eighteenth century, taking Europe by storm. This stylish game remains very popular to this day and can be found in most of the classic European casinos from Monte Carlo to the gaming houses of London. This is French roulette as it is played throughout Europe. French roulette wheels have 36 numbers and a single zero, and the Gallic feel is immediately apparent from the crisp, clear and colourful graphics with titles like Manque (1 to 18) Impair (Odds) Passe (19 to 36) and Pair (even) in addition to a range of special wagers known as call bets. To create the right ambience Microgaming has added high quality sound effects that capture the murmur of the crowd, the whir of the wheel and that distinctive metallic tinkle as the ball finds a hopefully lucky slot. Final game in the August game release is the latest version of Microgaming's red hot Joker Poker - 10 Play Power Poker . This video poker genre has six game styles for gamblers and this is one of them. Winnings of up to 100 000 credits are possible for video poker players using this gambling suite that enables VP fans to play ten hands at once, with a different 52 card pack for each hand.

• Hypocritical Attitude On Gambling

A classic example of audacity is the man who kills his parents and asks for clemency on the grounds that he's an orphan. A few weeks ago, a California gambler who lost a bundle online joined a lawsuit against search engines that sell advertising for Internet gambling sites. The case, filed in state court in San Francisco, is just one example of our society's utterly inconsistent and hypocritical treatment of gambling. We love it, we hate it, we use it, and we are being wounded by it. I would never suggest banning it. Yet I'm puzzled by people who gamble online or offline, because they're usually working against stacked odds. Over time, they're likely to lose. Still, we allow many potentially harmful activities, on the principle that freedom means the freedom to make mistakes. [...]

• Cyprus Prepares To Liberalize Online Gambling

UK law firm, Poppleston Allen, has revealed that it has been working closely with the government of Cyprus to create a new iGaming legislative framework, which will enable it to become a liberal jurisdiction and a viable destination for online casinos and sportsbooks in Europe. The firm has said that the work on the draft proposition is almost complete and will be presented to the government's betting steering committee within the next two months. Poppleston Allen partner, Paddy Whur explained that: 'With these two pieces of legislation in place, Cyprus will benefit early from the lifting of government monopolies and other liberalising moves within gambling across the EU. They will also be able to take advantage of the expected developments in online gaming technology and its growth as a leisure pursuit.' 'By evaluating the existing legal framework in comparable jurisdictions, especially in EU member states, a modern law has been created to offer protection to gamblers, children and vulnerable people and to keep online gaming crime free.'
