In a show of Scandinavian comradeship, a Swedish gaming software developer has had its Open Games Server (OGS) certified for launch in the Danish iGaming market. NYX interactive, a subsidiary of NYX Gaming Group is behind the move. With the certification process now passed (incidentally carried out by compliance testing experts NMi), NYX can make its OGS platform available for Danish clients. This new development caps an exciting and expansionist previous 18 months for the Open Games Server. Not content with integrating a range of content from various Gaming and Entertainment Group suppliers, NYX has also hooked up with UK-based developer 1X2gaming and expanded the availability of virtual sports products through OGS. With the soon-to-be-started World Cup this development is seen as a key marker of the viability and popularity of these platforms. David Flynn, the Senior-VP of Business Development for NYX Gaming was both proud of the expansion and bullish about future developments and prospects. He noted that the last 18 months had seen OGS grow at ‘an astonishing rate', including a 700% rate during the last 12 months. With an eye on both current and potential future clients, Flynn wants the company to break into other new regulated markets taking chart-topping titles such as; Extra Cash, Queen of the Nile 2, Blackjack Dealers Choice and Dragon Drop into previously untapped areas. The evidence also points to Flynn's words not being mere hyperbole. NYX OGS is available in the regulated Italian gaming market, the Isle of Man and even Australia - so it seems that it really is taking on a global appeal.

The Swedish stock exchange will be awaiting a new stock this June as online gaming operator Unibet is on the verge of distributing their 95% stake in B2B subsidiary Kambi Sports Solutions to its shareholders. On May 20th in Stockholm, Sweden at the Unibet annual general meeting, the operator will submit the proposition. Although the deal cannot be confirmed until after the shareholders approve it, Kambi is expected to be listed on the NASDAQ OMX in June 2014.This basically means that Unibet will not hold any shares in the business after the ties are cut, but it will work out well for both companies. Not even the Swedish tax payers will feel the tax burn as the deal is to be under the "Lex Asea" provisions which protect the Swedes from any immediate tax increases."The proposal to distribute Kambi to Unibet shareholders is the logical conclusion of the separation process that has been developed over the last couple of years," related Henrik Tjarnstrom, chief executive officer of Unibet. Unibet has been focused on its own business providing award winning customer relationship management while Kambi has quietly become one of the leading online sports betting services.Tjarnstrom went on to say, "While Kambi has an excellent offering, its opportunity to maximize the value of those services is limited while it is under the ownership of Unibet. Separation will make it easier for Kambi to access wider markets."

It can be said that Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is one of the toughest spots in the world today. Now, it is also one of the most watched sporting events in the world. Top names like Georges St. Pierre, Anderson Silva, Johny Hendricks, Ronda Rousey star in the matches that are often violent and short-lived. The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is the top MMA tournament in the world and Endemol Games has recently updated their UFC video slot, to reflect the sport's increasing popularity. Endemol Games designed the Video Slot based on the sport. The game is a 5 reel, 20 payline slot with a top bet of $500 per spin. The game adds a personal flair as players can choose their own fighter. Special Features There are a number of special features like Free Spins and multipliers available in the game. These bonuse symbols will depend on the fighter that an individual player chooses. There is an expanding wild called the Golden Wild which only reveals itself on the central-most reel. Once it shows its golden face, all the rest of the reels vanish and are replaced by the normal wild (chosen fighter) and there are chances for an even bigger payday. The reels themselves are dedicated to Dana White's brainchild and feature the UFC logo, the ring girls, the MC Bruce Buffer, a Golden Belt, the Octagon and a heavy guitar rift every time one spins. UFC's Facelift Following the makeover, the UFC Slot from Endemol games is a new and improved version of the original. Endemol stands behind the title and hope it will be well-received as many hours have gone into its planning and design. There are many online casinos that are powered by Endemol Games and the UFC slot can be found therein.
Today at Carrow Road home team Norwich City hosts Liverpool. The Reds are coming to the game after the wondrous 3-2 victory over rival title claimants Manchester City last Sunday, which saw Liverpool go on a 10 game winning streak in the Premier League also remaining unbeaten in their last 15 matches. This is what Norwich have to deal with today, however they'll be motivated to give a good fight since they have absolutely no other choice. Positioned 17 with 32 points (8w, 8d, 18), Norwich stands on the border of the relegation zone, just two points away from danger, and fluctuations could easily change its situation. Norwich have lost their three last games without scoring anything; their last match against Liverpool at Anfield this stadium concluded a 5-1 for the high flying red hosts. It'll be even harder given Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard request to his teammates to handle today's fixture "like it's the last game of our careers". Liverpool fans will be hoping Luis Suarez especially internalized this message, as the Uruguayan striker scored hat-tricks in both his visits to Norwich's Carrow Road.

2014 might just be the year in which gaming will move up a generation. Advancements in virtual reality, augmented reality, second screen, mobile technologies and more are rapid and constant, also fueled by the recent acquisition of Oculus by Facebook. In this article we examine how some prominent technologies could impact the world of online casinos and mobile gaming. Virtual Reality Fueled by the emergence of Oculus Rift, virtual reality could become a reality by the end of this year. Using special goggles, gamers can actually be inside the game which they are playing and to experience the game world true first-person. With the emphasis online casinos put on live dealers today in order to deliver players with the most realistic casino experience they can, this could be groundbreaking. Players could rid the PC or mobile screen as an intermediary and get right into the thick of things as if they were sitting in the casino itself. Augmented Reality A close relative of virtual reality, augmented reality allows players to interact with a game set in their own world. What augmented reality does is enhance the player's real environment making it interactive and digitally manipulable on the device on which he is playing. Think Nintendo Wii just much more sophisticated. For online casino fans this could revolutionize the way in which games are played; imagine actually using special cards to play with live dealers or pulling a slot machine's lever by a thrust of the hand. Add to that the advancements in motion sense technology and a huge leap in the way we experience online casinos is not sci-fi at all. Second Screen 2014 is likely to be the year of the second screen. What second screen technology essentially does is provide players with access to enhanced gaming features while during the game itself without severing the game flow. This is very useful in games incorporating map and inventory systems in which players can enjoy a seamless experience without constantly flipping screens. This could revolutionize the way in which online casino games are played by excluding many click-able options and letting players instead access them through an interactive second screen. Mobile Devices Mobile devices are slowly becoming very serious gaming platforms, standing aside and unbound to the constant fight between PCs and consoles. Advanced technologies allow smartphones and tablets to run high-demanding games with top of the line graphics. While the day in which mobiles will be viewed as independent "serious" gaming platforms like PCs and consoles is still far, these are becoming serious players in the scene every day. Mobile online casino players could benefit greatly from such advancements which could make way for even more realistic and sophisticated online casino games in mobiles. Esports Esports, also a name for competitive gaming, is becoming more and more prominent. A global sport without any special geographic focus, it brings together players from all over the world. It wouldn't be impossible to see something akin to competitive gaming tournaments in online casinos. Online poker is already doing it, so there is no reason not to see tournaments make the switch into the big world. Nowadays online casinos hold tournaments exclusive only to their players, following the Esports trend we could possibly see huge tournaments bringing together multiple online casinos in the future with even bigger prizes. Fiber Internet Fiber internet is truly the new age of internet high speed. 2014 and 2015 will be big years for this technology's rollout across the USA. This could greatly affect online casino live dealers, enhancing by far the quality and speed of these experiences.
Manchester City hosts West Brom at the Etihad Stadium today for the Premier League's game week 35. Manchester City comes off the slip they had against Sunderland last Wednesday when the game ended a 2-2 draw, with the Citizens being saved by Samir Nasri on the 88 th minute with a late game equalizer; Manchester City was 3 minutes away from losing to the Premier League's bottom team as they aspire to win the title this season. Now destiny will guide Manchester City's hopes for the title and over at the Etihad fingers will be crossed for Liverpool to drop as much points as possible. City could greatly benefit from a draw in Chelsea's and Liverpool's clash of giants next Sunday, while they try to beat Crystal Palace away from home. City boss Manuel Pellegrini admitted his team is "mentally tired" after Wednesday's draw, but said he still believes the team could claim the title this year. Taking this all in consideration, Manchester City must take three points against West Brom today to remain in the top three. City is the second strongest home team in the Premier this season, conceding only 10 home goals; coupled with the statistic showing West Brom have scored only 18 away goals this season, a slip here would be tragic for the Citizens. Bet Live bet365 Sports is offering live betting markets for today's match. In full time result bet365 is offering 1/5 on Manchester City, 10/1 on West Brom and 6/1 for a draw. Punters can pick a wager out of 85 betting markets including correct score, total goals, winning margin, specials, player markets and more.
A Pennsylvania man has thrown away $1.25 million worth of lottery tickets. The man used to buy daily tickets in a grocery store near his house for the state's daily five-digit Quinto lottery. An employee at the grocery store said the man spent a daily $100 on tickets. Last month, the man bought 25 Quinto tickets numbered 4-3-4-1-8 which all ended up worth $50,000. For an unknown reason the man trashed the winning tickets, however it is speculated that he misread them. The Pennsylvania lottery had tried finding the winner, putting out a release in February specifically addressing the mystery of the 25 unclaimed Quinto tickets. The release asked winning players to look for their tickets "in the drawer by the sink, under the couch and in the glove box." When the man found out, it was already too late to claim the prize. "Oh, no" When asked about the lottery's reaction the moment they realized the man's mishap, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Lottery Lauren Bottaro responded: "Oh, no, wow". The fortunate yet unfortunate man himself was mad, according to an employee at the Zhou Grocery where he bought the tickets. "He was so mad he played $400 that day" said the employee. Online Lottery - Safer, Easier If only the poor feller from Pennsylvania had bought an online lottery ticket, he wouldn't have to go through this ordeal. Online lottery ticket agents like Lottery Master and TheLotter go through the process for players, buying the desired amount of lottery tickets and providing the players with scans so it is as if they have bought the tickets themselves. Online lottery agents check tickets for players, notifying of any wins. They also let players save their favorite numbers, so they can subscribe and automatically have their tickets bought for their favorite lottery.
