New Mobile Casino Games

Here we go again with more sites being blocked in Bulgaria. The latest blocked sites bring the total number of blocked sites to 78 and it is expected that this will only continue to grow.

The latest sites blocked include maria.com, bet365, pinnacle.com, Unibet, Betsson, 12bet.com, intercasino, youwin.com, tipco.com, canbet, comeon.com, 5dimes and casino-belgie.com. The reason for these sites being blocked is their failure to apply for and obtain a license to operate within Bulgaria.

This only angered the government who grew tired of their lack of moving forward and have now blocked these sites. The reality is should they wish to apply in the future they likelihood of approval of a licence will not be forthcoming due to their neglect. What is more shocking is that most of these companies are large and successful internet betting sites who have the resources to obtain the proper licensing in Bulgaria. Why they chose to not apply for the said license can only be contributed to the Bulgarian market not yielding the results they would hope to achieve once licencing fees and taxes are factored in.

World Match just announced yet another new video slot release called RockaBillions H. This is the second game to have been released from this internet betting software developer this week.

RockaBillions HD offers 25 paylines and includes free games, a wild symbol as well as a bonus game.

It includes iconic images from that time period like a Cadillac, an electric guitar, microphone, radio and several hot rods that were prevalent during that time.

The bonus game that has been added is in the form of a car race that offers large prizes should the player take first in the race when the bonus game is activated. The game is shaped similar to a old styled television set and does not include the usual visual separation of paylines and reels but gives players a view of a drag strip instead.

RockaBillions has been available at any casino offering the World Match software.

ZetPoker, an online poker site, is believed to be having serious money related issues. These issues are relating to the Revolution Poker Network and there ceasing all operations over the weekend. It is also rumored that the Revolution Poker Network has not been paying those under the network for some time.

BTG Gaming, who owns ZetPoker, released information about the shutting down of services stating that it was a direct result of Revolution Poker Network’s failure to make payment as they should. This has limited ZetPokers ability in return, to pay players. BTG, the parent company, for their part is working toward finding a resolution with its players as Zetpoker is one of a dozen other sites owned by BTG Gaming. BTG Gaming also owns such notable sites as Linemaker.eu and Mayan Sports.

The other concern is that all of BTG Gaming’s sites operate with the Revolution software and this could potentially be a troublesome situation should Revolution as a whole be in trouble financially.

Netherland Authorities carried out raids on several betting sites and seven were shut down in the process. It also results in the detention of several people. The raid saw over 150 police involved and the sites closed included fruitluck.com, amsterdamspoker.com, amsterdamscasino.com, triplegoldcasino.com, golden10casino. com, tanzoo.com and  jackpotred.com. In addition the raid saw Net Gaming Solutions, based in Costa Rica closed.

These raids were conducted due to authorities stating they were in violation of money laundering laws. It also saw accusations against Sherriff Gaming, who have denied any wrong doing. It is suspected that as they supplied the casinos with their software that some employees at Sherriff were involved including its CEO.

This is something that is sure to be watched closely within the gambling community and industry. It is not at all common with most casinos and those who supply software operating at the highest levels of professionalism. Whether this will result in charges being laid against any of those under the employ of Sherriff Gaming has yet to be seen as this is a developing story.

We will watch this closely and report on updates as they are made available to media sources.

The state of New Jersey is anticipating substantial revenue will be generated once online betting sites begin offering services in the state. It is anticipated that as much as $224 million in annual revenue will be generated and revenues hitting $1.5 billion inside of the 5 yr mark.

New Jersey Treasure Sidamon-Eristoff spoke of this at a recent meeting and stated that with the imposed tax rate of 15% for all virtual online gaming that it expects the numbers quoted above to be accurate. It is further expected to see that more than $181 million in tax revenues will also be generated in the first year alone. This is great news for the state that will use the revenue to fund various programs. These estimates were taken from a recently study that was conducted by Wells Fargo.

This report is somewhat inaccurate as it fails to factor in the time it will take to implement the changes and how fast it will be before operators are live and accepting bets. It also is believed that the report did not factor in the interest this new legislation will generate amounts players and operators.

Quicktender, one of the internet’s more popular payment methods that is used daily with millions in transactions is now having issues making payments and has now agreed that some payments have not reached clients in the U.S. This is due to many of the banks in the U.S freezing money that was due players in the U.S. This relates to credit card purchases that ended up being used for gambling which may have been in violation of terms of use for those credit cards.

Rumor is it was the federal government that seized funds and not the banks. As Quicktender does not have actual accounts in the United States all of their funds are processed through banks in Europe. U.S player funds generally are sent to U.K banks to be processed to U.S players. Some of those payments have gone missing and those players have not received their funds.

Quicktender has managed to develop a solid reputation within the industry with players and while it has experience some issues in the past generally they offer a good service and alternative for players to deposit and receive funds. This situation is something that Quicktender could not have foreseen and they are suggesting for the time being that players look for other methods to facilitate payments for gambling online.

Microgaming announced that its new Poker Network, that was recently re-launched, saw the bad beat jackpot be won by a U.K player in the amount of €370,789.79. This player, who was unlucky on the tables made a remarkable bad beat into something to celebrate while playing with Stan James Poker. The name of the winner has only been released by his first name. Peter apparently hails from Rochdale, UK and the jackpot was on won on the 19^th of March in the evening hours.

Peter was at the table when he found himself with a straight flush only to be beaten by another player who has a better straight flush. The winner of that hand had failed to opt in towards the bad beat jackpot and that decision was costly as his total win amounted to €81.21 but has he opted in it would have been €185,394. That is mistake that will not be forgotten for a long time. All other players who were present at the table and had opted in towards the bad beat took home combined share of €47,134.16 each.

Stan James Management has reported that Peter stated I was looking forward to the re-launching of the Bad Beat Jackpot tables due to the fact that the older version was not in my comfort zone. I decided to have a go last night on the new tables due to it being easier to hit the jackpot and now all at tables are within my budget.”
