After some time mulling over the venture, Facebook has officially launched a pilot program for small and medium sized mobile gaming developers. Located on the Facebook Developer's site, "Mobile Games Publishing Page' creates a brand-new arena in which developers may target interested consumers while partnering with Facebook to acquire analytical feedback that will allow them to modify and refine their approach. Every developer may not qualify for the opportunity to showcase their games, yet. Facebook will identify "high-potential" options to participate in this newly launched pilot program. Facebook Publishing Mobile gaming developers may now collaborate with Facebook by taking part in the Mobile Games Publishing page which features the pilot program designed to assist developers in getting their games noticed, globally. Additionally Facebook will contribute to the analytical assessment of customer feedback thereby allowing developers a mechanism in which to modify or fine-tune their product to meet the demands of mobile gamers. Facebook will collaborate with developers in their pursuit of "going global" while enjoying a share of the revenue that will be generated. Facebook Gaming Goes Mobile With 260 million members playing games and 800 million using Facebook Mobile applications, this partnership is a win-win situation for Facebook, the gaming developers, and consumers alike. Facebook already generates revenue with one billion members visiting via smartphones, tablets, and mobile devices. So, the thinking is why not partner up and help the developers that have fantastic mobile games but little front end capital to promote them. Victor Medeiros, software engineer for Facebook blogged that it's a great way to help these developers find a "path to success". Medieros explained that Facebook is utilizing a "unique reach and targeting capabilities" to help games in the program interface with a viable audience of mobile gamers. Facebook stands to benefit as well with "promoted" posts or "mobile ads" that will encourage members to install the applications offered by outside developers. While Facebook shares drastically fell following the IPO last May they have not yet risen to the $38 price prior to the IPO. Recent quarterly reports however show that earnings via mobile revenues are surging and some believe that it reflects a turning point for this colossal social network!
Brace yourselves for some serious thrills with the recent addition to Tropezia Palace's arsenal: Reel Rush from Net Entertainment. This one creates some serious anticipation as you spin its 5 reels, with an amount of 3,125 ways to win. The slot's theme is a sweet mix bringing together Super Mario's world and delicious looking candy and fruit serving as symbols; a self proclaimed "wild" is the slot's wild. Clear Symbols to Win Big The total sum of symbols in Reel Rush is 25, though players begin with only 13 while the remaining symbols are covered with a starry "R" symbol. With each win, the slot uncovers two new symbols on the reels, what creates even more ways to win. Nostalgia is strong with the Super Mario vibes and the background music and sound effects; as you start uncovering R symbols, the background music gradually changes, becoming more and more energetic. Freespins and Wild Substitutions Climax is reached when the player clears all of the R symbols on the slot, and the game turns into freespin mode. Players then receive 8 freespins on all of the slot's 5-reels and 5-rows; this in conjunction with the Substituting Wilds can then produce some gigantic wins. Reel Rush displays at all times a Freespins meter on the upper left side of the screen indicating how close the player is to get to the Freespin mode. Reel Rush is really something and we highly recommend that you try it out now at Tropezia Palace Casino.

Developments in real-money social gaming in the US market are alive and well, as shown by GameHouse Casino Plus' decision to launch a monthly sweepstakes on their Facebook game GameHouse Casino this week. Starting August 1, Facebook players in 31 states and Washington DC have been able to enter the monthly sweepstakes for a shot at a $100,000 first prizes. Players outside of the supported areas (i.e. other US states or other countries) are eligible to enter a separate monthly contest using virtual coins. The move by GameHouse is extra significant given that it came in the same week as Zynga, the world's leading social gaming company, reportedly backed down from real-money gaming plans for the US market. In its second-quarter earning report, Zynga Inc. announced that it would give up on the potential new revenue stream and would focus its efforts elsewhere. Rather than discourage other players, Zynga's move has actually left the door open for other developers to pave their own way. GameHouse Casino Plus is one such developer: while it does not offer the types of traditional gambling that Zynga was supposedly considering, its sweepstakes could be the start of something big. Of course, GameHouse, Zynga and other developers are not able to offer American residents real-money social gambling in the same way that Zynga is offering it to British residents through its partnership with gambling giant Bwin.party. This is because US laws and regulations still do not allow companies the freedom to offer real-money gambling services that residents of many European countries take for granted. However, new online gambling regulations are just around the corner in the US (Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware have already passed different forms of Internet gaming reforms), meaning that companies like GameHouse that build a following through the methods available to them now will be well-placed to capitalize when the US implements complete freedom for online gambling in the near future.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Greece is certainly getting desperate. The cash-strapped country took the harsh step of blacklisting more than 400 online gambling operators this week while attempting to sell its state lottery. Blacklist Leaked According to a leaked list of the 402 blacklisted online gambling sites, Greece has banned everything from online casinos to poker rooms and even gaming-related blogs. Bizarrely, the list does not include active sites like Full Tilt Poker or PokerStars, but does include operators like US casino Caesars who have never attempted to offer online services to Greeks. So how on earth is the Greek government going to enforce this? According to the leaked report, it will try to compel Internet Service Providers to block these sites. Of course, the ISPs might not necessarily comply, and this is all leaked information, so we will have to wait for an official announcement from Greece before knowing 100%. Privatizing State Monopoly The blacklist followed hot on the heels of the Greece government's announcement that it had signed a deal for the operation of the country's state lotteries with an international consortium led by state gambling monopoly OPAP. The deal paves the way for the sale of the state's share in OPAP. The sale would net the Greek government an immediate and much-needed windfall of 190 million euros ($250m). In addition, 30% of annual gross gaming revenue will be delivered to Greek state coffers earning the country an estimated 580 million euros.For a full list of casino legality around the world, click here.

Live dealer games are becoming a global sensation. Players all over the world are taking to live dealer games and now even the US is taking notice. Live dealer games are streamed live from secure gambling locations with professional dealers. There are many benefits to playing live dealer games, including the issue of enhanced credibility. Players tend to trust real dealers over RNGs (Random Number Generators) at online casinos. For European gambling fans, live dealer games are a popular attraction. The US Takes an Interest in Live Dealer Games Online casinos bring many gaming options to players. These include traditional online games, 3D casino games, personalized gaming with avatars and over customizable features and now live dealer games too. The rewards inherent in live dealer casinos are many. Players get to enjoy a one-on-one experience without any of the intimidation that is often evident at traditional casinos. Player can also choose their favorite dealer - all of whom are professional, courteous and attractive. Betting stakes are easily selected by opting for specific table minimums and maximums. But perhaps the best part of live dealer games is that players get to interact with the dealers in real time - while cards are being dealt, or while the roulette wheel is spun. Live Dealer Formats There are essentially 2 formats for live dealer games. These include live dealer studios (with croupiers and dealers) with streaming webcam and 24/7 accessibility. The other option is an authentic casino where players can bet on real games with real casino entertainment with other players present. Pros and Cons of Live Dealer Games A big plus for players is the credibility of outcomes with live dealer games. Other factors to consider include the slower pace of live dealer games and the higher costs (compared to online casino games). Overall though, this additional gaming option has been warmly received by players and US players could be next in line.
