It will be a busy festive season for Red Flush Casino, which is launching a brand new software platform for Red Flush Mobile by the end of the year. Earlier in 2012 the online Microgaming casino released a new mobile gaming software platform specifically designed for iPhones, iPads and iPods. Now, the casino has announced the imminent arrival of another software platform - this one for Android mobile phones. "Red Flush Casino is all about moving with the times and keeping up to date with whatever else is going on in the technological world. One of the most influential presences in the mobile world right now is Android technology, so it seemed only appropriate to release a new platform specially for this rising star device," said an excited Alex Roberts, promotions manager to Red Flush Casino. The new mobile casino for Android devices will be designed to compliment and keep up with the latest Android technology, including cutting-edge graphics updates to work well with the new HD screens Android phones are boasting. Red Flush has aimed for bigger and better with a number of features on the new mobile platform, including more advanced animation, faster loading speeds, more high-tech graphics and less drain on battery life than the original mobile platform. All of the benefits enjoyed by other mobile gamers and more will be available to those playing on their Android devices, including access to their favorite games, the latest Red Flush Casino promotions and 24/7 help from the Support Team. "Mobile casino gaming allows players to have their fun anywhere, anytime. Thanks to the new casino for Android device-using gamers, a whole new niche of mobile gamers has access to a platform which caters to their specific needs and device's setup, which fits in with Red Flush Casino's motto of always providing the best possible gaming experience to all our members," said Roberts.
This week, a novelty sports bet caused unrest in the Church of England of all places, as well as at bookmakers Ladbrokes and William Hill. The question "Who will be the next Archbishop of Canterbury" attracted a sudden surge in bets, such that the bookies were continually slashing the odds every couple of hours. Finally, on Tuesday the bet was suspended entirely, on suspicion that insider trading had been taking place. Indeed, it was later discovered that a group of South West London residents had opened accounts for the sole purpose of betting on candidate Justin Welby, current Bishop of Durham. What a holy mess.For the most part, novelty bets or special bets have always been considered a little bit of harmless fun: a bit of light entertainment. And goodness knows there is no shortage of questions to bet on with topics ranging from TV, politics and of course, by far the most popular 'Who will be Christmas No.1 in the music charts?'Off the beaten trackYou don't have to look very far to find the more unusual sports bets out there: Currently, Oddschecker is inviting punters to bet on the hair color of Prince Will's and Kate's first baby. Far stranger, they are also asking 'which country will have the first proven contact with aliens?', a question best left for patient types.Other unusual bets on the market are 'Who will direct the 50 Shades of Grey' movie, and, curiously. 'What are the chances the next James Bond will be black'? But nothing has yet has eclipsed the legendary sports bet on 'Who killed Dallas' JR' in 1980.For a broad and entertaining range of sports bet specials, head to Ladbrokes & William Hill.

The California Online Poker Association's Board of Managers announced last week that it is dissolving the association, saying that it based its decision upon insufficient progress in the passage of an online poker bill. 'No bill this year' When COPA was formed two years ago, its operating agreement forewarned that the organization would dissolve itself if state online poker legislation was not passed by January 2, 2013, association spokesperson Ryan Hightower said in a press statement. He added that although the bill now appears unlikely to pass, COPA's members continue to believe that the legalization of in-state Internet poker would provide California with hundreds of millions in new state revenue, thousands of new jobs and vital protections for players. Still hope for future While COPA's announcement represents a sort of temporary setback, it by no means signals the end of efforts to legalize poker in California. We agree with their assessment that Internet poker would be a good move, and are confident legislators will eventually see the light. The outcome of the US Presidential Elections - 4 more years for the current Obama administration - could potentially usher in a new era for American online poker. Plus, the fact that Nevada is pushing ahead with its own intrastate poker licenses means there will be an ongoing precedent for Californian legislators to monitor and eventually emulate.

O dear, o dear, o dear! The British Government and the bods at the Beeb are busy cleaning up an absolutely catastrophic mess. After airing a Newsnight program in which a former Thatcherite MP was incorrectly accused of paedophilia, the most senior members of the British Broadcasting Corporation are quickly filing out of their offices, tails between their legs. A classic 'head-in-hands' moment, bang in the middle of what seems to be a wave of paedophilia hysteria taking seizing the UK. Not a pleasant business.So now that Director General of the BBC, George Entwisle, has walked away from the post, only 54 days into the job, who is in the running to replace him? Who is going to lead the BBC?Paddy Power and William Hill present Ed Richards as somewhat of a sure thing. Coming in with even odds (Paddy Power) (or 10/11 at William Hill) the 46 year old head of Ofcom - the media regulation authority - presents the safest pair of hands out there. Then, with odds of 2/1 (Paddy Power) or 13/8 (William Hill), is Tim Davie, the person who has stepped in as acting Director General, until a permanent replacement has been decided on. People will best know Tim Davie for his attempt to close BBC 6 Music, so safe to say he's not the public's favourite.Finally, there is Caroline Thomson, who recently left the BBC when George Entwisle beat her to the top job. The odds for her appointment as new Director General is 7/2 both will William Hill and Paddy Power. Worth placing your bets now before the successor is announced. William Hill and Paddy Power offer a wide and up-to-date range of Special sports bets, year round. Whether you're into TV, celebrities, art or even weather - you can up the adrenaline by betting on the outcome.
