The mystery cloud shrouding Sheriff Gaming seems to just grow larger everyday. As remembered, the license of Sheriff Gaming's parent company Bubble Group NV was suspended September 2013 when Dutch authorities raided its offices with claims of illegal activities such as money laundering, drugs, unlicensed gambling and other non-kosher acts. Following the raid, Sheriff Gaming was revoked its gaming license by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, effectively leading to seizure of all activities by the company. Blue Gem Gaming Acquisition It has now become known that a company known as Blue Gem Gaming has acquired Sheriff Gaming, effectively taking over the company's gaming portfolio. Blue Gem Gaming has set up a site which bore a striking resemblance to Sheriff Gaming's older website, however the site seems to have quickly went down and there is no way to access its indexed pages. Earlier last week, an anonymous Blue Gem Gaming spokesperson released a PR message about the company's launch, stating that it was founded by the development team of Sheriff Gaming, and that popular Sheriff Gaming titles like Spartania, the Amsterdam Master Plan and Dr. Magoo's Adventures will be a part of its gaming portfolio, which will also contain brand new games. Does Blue Gem Gaming Exist? With the current state of things, it is still unclear whether Blue Gem Gaming even exists. It has a registered website with some inaccessible indexed pages, it has released a message about its launch last week and that's about it. It seems that there is much more than meets the eye with Blue Gem Gaming. We will continue to bring news on this puzzling affair as they come.

Realistic Games and Paddy Power have teamed up to launch the latest improvement to Paddy Power's sportsbook iPad app - embedded blackjack and roulette. This means that users will be able to use the latest version of the app to switch between their betting slip and table games without actually having to leave the sportsbook or transfer any money. Commercial director of Realistic Games, Andy Harris, said they had worked very closely with Paddy Power to develop the app, and is confident that customers will love the simplicity and ease now available on two of their favorite games. Harris commented, "We've felt for a while that embedding games in iPad sportsbooks, and blackjack and roulette in particular because of their resonance with sports customers, was an idea with great potential."We knew that some of those customers are not always keen to migrate between betting and gaming sites and are often put off by having to move their money to other wallets. This solution negates both issues."Teams from Paddy Power and Realistic games worked quickly and diligently together to create the prototype in time for the Grand National, and it is hoped that this new product will offer a major boost for both the Grand National and the World Cup.About Paddy PowerPaddy Power is Ireland's leading bookmaking site, with a chain of retail outlets throughout Ireland and Great Britain, as well as a successful mobile division. About Realistic GamesRealistic Games is a private company that specializes in tailoring roulette, blackjack, slots and fixed odds games to a large variety of devices, including PCs, iPads, iPhones, Android phones and tablets.

There are hundreds of online casinos that any prospective gambler can choose from; for players that are on the go but enjoy the thrill of the gamble, a casino that offers a good mobile option should be the number one concern.Many online casinos offer games in both Flash and download formats, so players can choose whichever version they are comfortable with. But not all casinos offer a smooth, fully-integrated mobile option that allows players to play the same games with the same ease on their mobile devices as they would on their computers or laptops.What to look out forAs a player shopping around for an online casino that offers the best mobile options, here are a few things to look out for:Home page listing: Mobile should be listed as an option on the casino's home page. If it's not on the home page, it's not their priority, which means you need to find another casino.Selection of games: While some casinos offer a mobile option, their choice of games is limited. Make sure you choose a casino that offers a variety of fun and exciting mobile games.Mobile devices: Not all online casinos are optimized for all mobile devices. You should look for a casino that offers the best service for YOUR mobile device. For example, 7 Sultans Casino offers mobile games for tablets, androids, iPads and iPhones. Their mobile program is not viable on Blackberry, so if you are a Blackberry-owner, you won't be able to play there. You will be able to play on their sister-site though, Royal Vegas Mobile, which specializes in Blackberry.

Online poker has known to be a man's game and not many women would even consider playing at a serious table. Recent data released by IGT (International Game Technology) states that the number of female poker players in social casinos has risen by record numbers. This report, part of the US Social Casino Index project is based on well-over 6,000,000 players that have played online poker games on Facebook or on a mobile device and was focused on each player's preferences in a social casino. Female Poker Players on the Rise Poker is no longer a male-dominated game as the increase in female players has gone up 22% in 2013. There is still a male majority but the number of women that are coming out to play video poker at social casinos is on the rise big time. The research also stated that Hawaiian women are spending around 6.5 hours every month playing poker and both men and women spend exactly the same amount of time playing free online poker every week. It was the women of Utah that were recorded as the biggest risk takers, betting with over 8 million chips per session while the big state of Wyoming showed that women playing there were far more conservative with only 1 million chips per session. Female-Focused Online Gambling Some casinos have even created special platforms that appeal to women only including the Bingo Platform from 888 called 888 Ladies. This is a platform that has been designed with women in mind as can be seen by its color combination and choice of pink cupcakes and jewelry that is in the background pictures.
AGA Responds to New Gambling ProposalsPresident and CEO of the American Gaming Association Geoff Freeman has responded to the recent proposed draft 'Responsible Gaming Framework' from the Massachusetts Gaming Commission. His comments criticise the Commission for not adopting some of the best practices that are currently in use."The Massachusetts Gaming Commission draft recommendations seem to value anecdote and inclination over proven science," said Freeman. "Not only are these proposals unlikely to aid vulnerable populations, they are likely to negatively impact the playing experience of the more than 97 percent of the Americans that gamble responsibly. We hope to have the opportunity to work with the Commission to meet our shared goal of protecting those in need."About the American Gaming AssociationThe AGA operates across the USA, and acts as a trade association for casino and gambling businesses that provide an estimated 332,000 jobs in the country. Their aim is to promote the industry in a positive way and protect their members interests, keeping this $37 billion a year concern in a healthy state. About the Massachusetts Gaming CommissionSet up following the 2011 signing of the Expanded Gaming Act, the declared mission of the Massachusetts Gaming Commission is 'to create a fair, transparent, and participatory process for implementing the expanded gaming law.' With five full time commissioner's, their job is to oversee the regulations that could see 8 - 10,000 jobs across the state and $300 - 500 million in extra revenue each year. Local laws permit the licensing of three resort developments in different locations across the state of Massachusetts, plus a single dedicated slots facility.
Edinburgh's Tynecastle Stadium sees home team Heart of Midlothian host Aberdeen for a game that could prove crucial for the Hearts. At this point every game Hearts play is crucial if they want to get further themselves away from relegation. That will require them to win every single game they play now and to have St Mirren and Patrick Thistle lose their fixtures regularly. In other words, it'll be very difficult. Hearts are located at the bottom of the table, twelfth position with 9 points composed of 6 wins, 6 draws and 19 losses. They will however climb the pitch tonight fairly confident after beating Hibernian 2-0 at home last Sunday. But it won't be so easy to take three points as Hearts faces Aberdeen, currently positioned third in the table with 59 points composed of 18 wins, 5 draws and 8 loses. Funnily enough it was the Hearts who beat Aberdeen in their last two meetings, with the last being a 1-3 away victory for the Hearts over Aberdeen. That was however 5 months ago and many things have changed since. It'll be hard to see Heart of Midlothian climb out of their mishap now that we're in the Scottish Premiership's game week 32, but it's certain we're up for a good game tonight. Bet Live Winner Sports is offering live betting for tonight's game. In full time result Winner offers 9/2 on Heart of Midlothian, 4/7 on Aberdeen and 59/20 for a draw. Punters can wager on over 70 betting markets for this fixture including match result bets, goals, half betting, correct score, both teams to score and more.
