Dave Vialpando, Chairman of the Tribe’s gaming commission, commented on the launch, "The Tribe supports the effort by the Legislature to enact interactive gambling legislation in the State, but has decided to rely on the tribal sovereignty and the provisions of the federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) to offer I-poker from the Tribes reservation."
Magic Red Casino has just announced that it will be adding NetEnt games to its already vast portfolio from Playtech. Magic Red’s decision reflects in part the craze for NetEnt progressive jackpots, which have hit a note with slot players. In particular, Mega Fortune has been increasingly popular with players since it broke its previous record of a €11.7million jackpot, by a €17.9million payout in January 2013. Since progressive jackpots are pooled, the increased popularity in NetEnt’s games means that their slots’ jackpots are snowballing into larger amounts faster than ever. Already boasting one of the largest game selections in the online casino industry, the new NetEnt games at Magic Red means that players can now find all the hottest casino games under one roof. In our conversation, Magic Red’s product manager adds, “We proudly announce that today we have added Netent, one of world biggest gaming software providers to our games selection. With the addition of Netent, our game offering now represents one of the widest within the gaming industry. Here at Magic Red we continuously look at improving our products; there will be more products coming up soon so stay tuned!" NetEnt’s progressive jackpots include Mega Fortune, Hall of Gods, Caribbean Stud and more. Where NetEnt games are designed to stand out is that they all have a minimum starting point for their jackpots –when a jackpot is won, the jackpot is not reset to zero. This means that even in the case of freak luck and the jackpot is hit twice in a row, there will always be a decent sum of money to be won by the next player. The addition will see all the popular NetEnt games, which are particularly well-known by seasoned slots players for their exciting paytables as well as smartly entertaining animations, available through Magic Red’s downloadable casino software. At the time of writing, the NetEnt games are not listed on Magic Red’s website, however they are already available through the casino’s software, both for new and senior players at Magic Red.

The Commonwealth Games are in full stride from Glasgow, Scotland and tonight all eyes will be on the 100 meter track to see if one of the fastest men in the world can come anywhere close to beating Usain Bolt's world record. Due to an injury earlier in the season, Bolt will not be running in the 100 or the 200 meter races. However, always one to give his fans what they want, he will join his Jamaican team in the 4x1 relay. The qualifying races have not showcased the levels of speed to crack the current world record, but everything could change tonight. Don't blink, you might miss the race Even without the likes of Usain Bolt on the track there will still be cheetah-like speed to watch as names like Nickel Ashmeade, Richard Thompson, Keston Bledman and Kemar Bailey-Cole running. Perhaps the man to break the record is Bolt's teammate and second spot on the Jamaican relay team - Ashmeade. His personal best is a 9.90 which seems like it is a ways off the 9.58 that Bolt blazed to in Germany in 2009. bet365 coverage The famed UK sportsbook has posted its lines for outright winner in the men's 100 meter and odds are in favor of the punter. Ashmeade is the current favorite at 2.87, Thompson is in second at 4.50, Bledman is at 5.50, Gemili at 6.00 as is Bailey-Cole.

In the not so distant past, in order to access online casinos, players were required to download software into their computer and go through a process of installation and signing-up. As more and more casinos started surfacing online, online casino players were given options to access their chosen online casinos directly via their browsers thanks to the flash platform. Today it is the norm for online casinos to provide their players with no-download playing platforms, although there are those whose software platforms do require downloads in order for players to be given access to a larger quantity of games. Silver Sands Flash Casino After many years of being available only via download, veteran online casino Silver Sands has launched a flash version which players can access directly from their browser. At the moment, Silver Sand Casino's flash site is available only for players from South Africa who use the ZAR currency. However, the casino has informed Online Casino Reports that they plan to release versions compatible with US Dollars, UK Pounds and Euros very soon. To celebrate the launch of its new flash site, Silver Sands Casino is offering a generous no deposit bonus worth of ZAR 100, which both new and existing players can receive by entering the promotion code FLASH100. Players must abide by the wagering requirement set for this bonus which is 60 times the bonus amount with a max cashout of twice the amount (ZAR 200). About Silver Sands Casino The veteran Silver Sands Casino has been in operation since 1999, catering mainly to South African players but achieving popularity with players from all over the world. Besides its 15 years of experience, Silver Sands Casino provides player with a rich gaming portfolio from Realtime Gaming as well as many promotions, tournaments, convenient banking options and 24/7 support.
