In November of last year, the online gaming industry sustained quite the hit when Disney decided it will not be renewing any of its current licensing agreements with iGaming operators and software providers. Disney inherited Lucas Film and Marvel licensing agreements after the buyout of the comic book company in 2009 for $4.6 billion, meaning that it was the company which bore responsibility for the different licenses with iGaming operators, also extending to the creation of Marvel slots and the likes. Online casino software developer Playtech was among the main parties which were hit by Disney's decision. The company has been one of the main suppliers of Marvel slots ever since launching The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man 1 back in 2009. Just a month before Disney's announcement, Playtech has unveiled Spiderman: Attack of the Green Goblin. Another leading software provider hit was Cryptologic, which is responsible for popular Marvel slots like Thor, Wolverine, Fantastic Four and Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Revenge. Expired Agreement Triggered Withdrawal While Disney honored the agreements it had with operators, last week has seen the withdrawal of comic book themed games in online casinos which have offered these, supplied by the Amaya owned Cryptologic. 888 was one of the operators affected by the expiration of the agreement, forcing it to pull the plug on popular Marvel video slots like The Incredible Hulk, Thor, Spider-Man and Fantastic Four. However, 888 has stated that it will fill the void created by the pulling of Marvel slots by the addition of new comic book themed slots which are already underway, a thing which does make sense due to the influx of comic book themed movies hitting theaters lately and expected to this summer.

PJB Games has recently launched their latest HTML5 app, Dollar Candy, which makes legal, 60-second games of skill available to the public on major mobile and tablet devices.Skill games are not to be confused with luck-based games; though both are played for money, the distinction between luck and skill is a big one. Online gambling (luck-based) has only been legalized in three states, whereas online skill gambling is legal in 36 states. PC Games versus Mobile GamesIan Ippolito, CEO of PJB Games, commented, "Until now, the skill gaming market has been dominated by a narrow niche group of specialized gamers who invest hours in learning and mastering skill games that generally require a PC to play and aren't accessible on all devices. Furthermore, the ultra-competitive skill gaming world is notoriously hostile to 'newbies' and susceptible to computerized cheating." Therefore, PJB designed their Dollar Candy app so that players can learn how to play in as few as 20 seconds, while the games themselves last only 60 seconds. Their games avoid the danger of robo-cheaters, since as skill-based, they rely on human logic and skill sets.And while online skill games for PC generally require a 15-45% fee on payouts, Dollar Candy's fee is only 10-11%. No LuckDollar Candy eliminates luck from their games in the following ways:When players sign up to Dollar Candy, all players in the tournament get the exact same game board, which eliminates the 'luck of the draw' aspectNo random events occur throughout the game that would influence the outcomeNo player is allowed to purchase any special power-ups or tips that would give them an advantage over other players
A sneak peek from the next Batman film, posted by movie director Zack Snyder on his Twitter account yesterday, has spawned a lot of attention with the specific tweet being re-tweeted 42,556 times. The picture shows the next actor who will portray Batman, Ben Affleck, as the famous superhero. This can be seen clearly by Affleck's signature chiseled jawline which is seen in the photo, standing by the iconic Batmobile. The photo has already been dubbed "Batfleck". Affleck's casting to the role was controversial, meeting a lot of criticism coming from Batman fans and movie aficionados in general. The prestigious role was filled in the past movies by actors like George Clooney, Val Kilmer, Michael Keaton and Christian Bale who has starred as the world's most famous bat in the Dark Knight trilogy from 2005-2012, directed by Christopher Nolan. The photo shows a dark and moody Batman which might change the minds of some of the casting decision's critics. Affleck will star as Batman in the 2016 movie alongside Henry Cavill who will portray Superman and Jeremy Irons who was cast as Batman's butler, Alfred. A move which has raised many more eyebrows was Gal Gadot's casting as Wonder Woman, due to the model-actresses' scant experience in filling such major roles. Batman Video Slot Whether they like Batfleck or not, Batman fans and online casino players can enjoy Microgaming's high-quality video slots released in light of The Dark Knight trilogy. The Dark Knight Rises is Microgaming's latest Batman release. It's a 5-reel, 243-ways-to-win video slot featuring split wilds, symbol scrambles and a free spin accumulator creating a potential for some huge wins. The Dark Knight Rises is available in Microgaming-powered casinos like Gaming Club Casino, alongside many other Microgaming hit video slots such as Thunderstruck, Tomb Raider, Playboy and Avalon.
Caesars Interactive, which recently bought social gaming company Pacific Interactive and real-money sites in Nevada and New Jersey saw its first quarter revenues leap by 82% compared with twelve months ago. These outstanding year-on-year results cemented Caesars position as the world's premier social gaming operator. Strong Performance There were many pointers of a strong performance in Q1. Following February's acquisition of Pacific Interactive, revenues grew by $124.2m as it activated a very timely jump in the number of people accessing Caesar's mobile and social platforms. The company saw a jump in the average number of daily users, up 10% from 5.2m to 5.7m as a useful like-on-like comparison for 2013. Mitch Garber, the Caesars Interactive CEO was bullish and direct about the company's immediate vision. He said that it intends to continue being "aggressively acquisitive in the social and mobile space". With results like these and with the additional acquisition of four social gaming studios it's very straightforward to see why. Real Money Alternatives Caesars has not sat on its social gaming laurels but has determinedly targeted success in Nevada through the WSOP.com real-money poker platform. It has also challenged Borgata in New Jersey with its casino and poker sites. Garber also believed that Caesars is in an excellent position to challenge for top dog status in these (for it) newer markets. There were associated start-up costs that ate into the company's profits, an important factor in considering their performance. That doesn't mean that he is in any way blasé or underestimating the competition; "...there is still a lot of work to be done to get all of the people in New Jersey who could be and should be customers to know this activity exists", he said. The next step for the company is to continue adding game content, new features to existing platforms as well as launching mobile applications.
It's an Iberian clash today as Sevilla and Benfica meet for the Europa League final at the Juventus Stadium in Turin, Italy. Sevilla had to go through a lot for tonight's final, entering the tournament in the third qualifying round. Sevilla has two UEFA Cup titles which they've won consecutively in the seasons of 2005/06 and 2006/07.In Spain's Liga BBVA, Sevilla are currently positioned fifth in the table (60 points), battling it out with Real Sociedad which is positioned sixth (59 points) after Sevilla was beat by Getafe 1-0 last weekend. Sevilla certainly does not shine on its travels this season. The team has scored 22 goals in this Europa League season, for which they have to thank French forward Kevin Gameiro and Colombian striker Carlos Bacca. On the other side of the pitch, Benfica is a favorite today, despite their very unfortunate history with finals - the team has lost their last seven finals in a row. Yet, tonight Benfica has displayed great football in the tournament having knocked out the favorites Juventus in the semi-finals. While Benfica's statistics against Spaniards are not very impressive, the team can still make a difference today and banish their "finals curse". Whether they succeed or not, Benfica will climb Champions League or Europa League pitches next season, seeing that they've secured their 33rd Primeira Liga championship title last month. Bet Live Punters can find interesting betting markets at Winner Sports for tonight's final. In full time result, Winner is offering 9/4 on Sevilla, 5/4 on Benfica and 47/20 for a draw after 90 minutes. There are over 100 betting markets including match result, goals, first/second half bets and the final special "To Lift The Cup".
