Hello folks!

This is our last newsletter of the year! We won't assure the two next newsletters, 'cause we need some vacations! We would like to thanks everyone for your appreciated support all along the year, and we wish to get the same for 2006! So, since it is our last newsletter this year, we want to wish everyone, as well as their families, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the new year bring you health, wealth and luck! You will find in the promotions section all the latest casino promotions of the year.

This year has been quite awesome for online casinos - the best ever. We've seen lots of developments for players with new games, new interfaces, new payment options, new casinos. The poker growth has been simply enormous, and there was interesting developments around online casino legalization, such as the WTO ruling. And this was the year of stock markets listings, with online gaming companies now listed with amazing cash valuations (such as PartyGaming). The skill games sector has been also booming. As for the mobile casinos sector, we will have to wait for the next year to really see what we can hope in term of entertainment and popularity.

As for us, we've greatly improved our two sites, launched a new casino newsletter, used new web standards such as RSS delivery, started to run cash draws (with now $1,320.00 per year to win in CASH), created a new complete gambling news section, and seen our popularity increase all along the year!

Have a great gaming week-end, and enjoy your Holidays!
See you next year!

Warm regards,
Cedric A. - Editor

Ho Ho Ho Microgaming Video Slot - Ho Ho Ho is a unique Christmas theme video slot. Some tips to understand this game and to take the maximum profit: - Play all 9 lines. If it is too expensive for you, then reduce the coin size. It increases your chances to win. - Remember that the Santa symbol is wild with all symbols excepted scatters (presents). It also doubles the regular payout. Look out for Santa, as if you get all five on a payline, you win $15,000 (with a $9 bet)! - The present symbols are scatters: If you get two, you get x1 your bet; If you get three of them, you get x2 your bet; If you get four, you get x20! If you get five presents, you get x60! Those symbols also activate the free spins (20), and all payouts are doubled during the free spins round (including the maximum jackpot, which climbs to $30,000 with five Santa symbols for a $9 bet). You need to get at least 3 present symbols to activate free spins. And again, you can get more free spins during the free spins round, if you get another scatters during the round. You can play this game at all Microgaming Viper casinos.

2ND DEGREE: GAMBLING MYTHS, LEGENDS AND BELIEFS

The MegaBucks Curse: Do you know that there is a legend around the biggest progressive Vegas slot machine? The legend tells that MegaBucks winners all die after hitting the jackpot. Las Vegas is full of these rumors and it all started with the unfortunate real accident who happened to Cynthia Jay-Brennan, a cocktail waitress who had hit a $34.9 million jackpot at the Desert Inn, in March 2000. She was left quadriplegic by a car accident. The vehicule was operated by a drunk driver. One year later, the driver was sentenced to 28 years in prison. Since then, for example in March 2003, an old man won $39.7 million Megabucks jackpot at the Excalibur casino, and days later rumors already were floating around that tragedy had overtaken him. There was diverse death stories, such as an overdose, a plane crash or even a gang fight in which the lucky winner has been killed. There was other stories like that around other winners, never verified. Still want to hit a jackpot at this game? ;-) MegaBucks is an inter-linked progressive slot machine game available at some Vegas casinos. The jackpot resets at an amazing $7 million and the biggest win was $39.7 million (and of course the winner is not dead. ;-) ).
