Betfair has finally gone live on iPoker, launching online poker rooms for global players on the dot.com network and for players in the newly regulated Spanish market through the .es domain. Betfair iPoker goes live New Betfair Poker, as it is being called on the online gambling operator's website, enters the iPoker Network's top tier, along with big names bet365, Paddy Power, Poker 770, Titan Poker, William Hill, Winner and Everest. This means it has reserved poker tables for popular cash games and Sit 'n Go games. Betfair's move away from Ongame was announced with the beginning of the new year. In the first half of 2013 both networks will be made available to existing Betfair customers, after which Ongame will no longer be accessible and iPoker will be the exclusive online poker provider. And Spain gets poker With the move, Betfair's Playtech-powered Spanish online poker room went live this week, just four months after the gambling operator signed a deal with the software developer in the wake of receiving licence approval. For iPoker this is particularly significant given that PokerStars, PartyPoker and 888 have so far dominated there. For Spanish players, this means more choice for variety of games and related promos, which ultimately benefits them and makes both operators and customers happy.
Records are made to be broken, and that is exactly what Net Entertainment's Mega Fortune slot did this week when it granted a €17.8 million payday to one unbelievably lucky Finnish customer of Paf. Slots Record The 40-year old Helsinki man was playing the Mega Fortune progressive jackpot game on Sunday, in full knowledge of the fact that it was breaking records, when suddenly all the pieces settled into place and he realized that he had become the richest person in the history of online casinos. Incredibly, this is not the first time Mega Fortune has broken a record. The biggest previous slots jackpot was hit on the same game in September 2011, when a 20-year old Norwegian won 11.7 million euros trying out the slot at another Scandinavian gambling operator - Betsson. Progressive Jackpots Progressive jackpot slots differ from regular online video slots, in that their jackpot (the top attainable prize) keeps rising. Not every progressive game has jackpots in the millions though, as they vary in both playing fees and in the minimum and maximum jackpot that can be reached. They also vary in terms of reels, paylines and other features. The great thing about these games is that they can be found almost anywhere: aside from Net Ent casinos, Microgaming and Playtech both operate successful jackpot networks, as well as other well-known online gambling software developers such as Cryptologic. Their size allows them to leverage huge jackpots from sheer weight of playing numbers. As we can see from the record-breaking Mega Fortune Progressive Jackpot, the best thing about these games is that even when they are hit, there is no reason to despair. Mega Fortune will reset to its default minimum amount, and start rising again before soon creating another millionaire.

Casino La Vida is getting into the swing of 2013 with February' new game release, which promises to entertain and delight with something completely new. Jason and the Golden FleeceClassicists and lovers of action and adventure will love the new Jason and the Golden Fleece video slot. The game is a vividly imagined 5 reel slot with 25 paylines and all the elements of the original beloved myth of the rightful heir of Argos' death-defying journey across the seas of the ancient world to snatch the magical Golden Fleece and reclaim his kingdom. All the essential elements of the tale of Jason and the Argonauts are there, from the isle of Colchis where the Golden Fleece is guarded by a fearsome dragon, to the weird and wonderful monsters the crew encounters on the way, to the with Medea who captures Jason's heart. Fun and InterestingEach new adventure in the myth is undertaken by a bonus game, meaning the slot six whole bonus games, each with a unique exciting challenge for the player to overcome. This makes the game infinitely more interesting to play, with the player having to master each bonus game and reap the rewards before they can move onto the next one, from match up challenges to a Hi-Lo card game and a jackpot wheel spin among others. "Jason and the Golden Fleece is a breakthrough game in which the player, just like the famous character Jason of Argos, must use their skill, speed and cunning to make it through one challenge after another to get the treasure they so desire. This is a welcome departure from some slot games, which can be passive for the player as they have only one or two levels and rely simply on blind chance, which can quickly grow tiresome. Jason and the Golden Fleece couldn't be more different," explained promotions manager for Casino La Vida Victoria Lamonte. Created by Microgaming, the video slot sports superb animation, a unique soundtrack and sophisticated graphics, as well as a complex and enthralling story-line with as many twists and turns as the beloved Jason and the Golden Fleece myth.

Following a long and protracted lockout, the National Hockey League 2012-13 season finally got underway this week, and leading online sportsbook William Hill has all the odds for the fans to bet on. NHL season starts Finally, the season begins! Due to the lockout, each NHL team will play just 48 games this season instead of the usual 82. All games will be played within the two conferences, and although this means some of the best teams in the competition won't play each other at all, there is still much to look forward to. More than seven months have passed since the Los Angeles Kings defeated the New Jersey Devils for the Stanley Cup. And while millions of hockey fans around the world might resent the players for the delayed start to this season, there is no doubt that the players will be energized and ready to produce some fire on the ice. William Hill oddsWilliam Hill Online brings you all the odds for the NHL title race and more. The championship betting currently looks like this: Pittsburgh Penguins, 11/2, New York Rangers, 8/1, LA Kings, 10/1, Chicago Blackhawks, 11/1, Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, Vancouver Canucks, 12/1, all other 14/1 or above. Hill also offers conference and division betting, and a range of wagering options on each game, including: Money Line, 60 Minutes Betting, Double Chance, Total Goals Highest Scoring Period, Puck Line Handicap, 60 Minutes Correct Score, First Period Betting, and Draw No Bet.
As speculation mounts about the future of Britain's membership in the 27-nation European Union, William Hill is one of a number of online sportsbooks that are offering odds on future scenarios. Britain to exit EU? British Prime Minister David Cameron is due to deliver a keynote speech on his country's future in the EU this week. The speech was supposed to take place already, but was delayed last week because of the hostage crisis in Algeria - in which at least 23 hostages, some of them British, were killed. The PM has hinted that he will suggest negotiating a new relationship with the EU, which would be put to the people in a referendum. Of course, it must be remembered that the UK maintains the pound as its own currency, but nonetheless has been hit hard by the euro zone debt crisis. European Union betting With all this happening, William Hill are offering odds of 8/11 that Brits will choose to "stay in" the European Union in the event of a referendum before 2020. It is quoting even money on the country choosing to do the previously unthinkable and quit the EU altogether. Hill have slashed their odds for a referendum on whether the UK should retain full membership of the EU taking place before 2020 from 2/1 to 7/4. They are offering 7/1 on the UK quitting the EU before 2020, 10/1 on a referendum taking place before the next general election, and 2/1 on the euro no longer existing at the end of 2015.
