Ever since the Twilight Saga made the world fall in love with vampires, there has been a resurgence of interest for these Gothic creatures. Blood Suckers is a vamp-themed slot game that brings them into the world of online casinos. NetEnt first developed Blood Suckers as a standard slot game, but has recently modified it to become a mobile slot. Betting Structure Starting at the bottom end of the scale, the minimum coin value can be £0.01. There are several different values en route to choosing the maximum coin value of £0.50. The next major determinant of the betting value is whether the “Bet Level” is set between one and four. Lastly, the slot will also give you complete control over how many of the 25 paylines to activate. Prior to each spin, it is possible to check the total value by looking at the amount displayed on the left side of the screen. Stake for Bonuses Three or more bonus symbols will drag you away to a creepy bonus game in which 11 coffins are displayed on the screen. The goal is to open coffins and stake vampires in exchange for cash rewards. However, the bonus round will end as soon you open a coffin with just cobwebs waiting inside. Wilds and Scatters The picture of the vampire biting a glamorous blonde is the wild symbol. Those symbols can substitute for most missing symbols except scatters and bonuses. Speaking which, three or more of the terrifying bride symbol (scatter) will trigger ten free spins to be claimed. Now at NetEnt Mobile Casinos Blood Suckers is now available at NetEnt mobile casinos this autumn. Leo Vegas can introduce you to the vampires with a 200% welcome bonus, while Play Grand Casino can offer a 250% bonus on your first deposit. Either way, there will be funds for free gaming time.
Rafael Nadal and Ronaldo will meet next month in London for a head-to-head poker match at a PokerStars event which will be broadcasted live on the net. Scheduled for November 6, the match was dubbed "The Duel" by PokerStars after Brazilian football legend Ronaldo challenged the Spanish 14-time tennis Grand Slam winner Nadal, who was more than happy to accept the challenge. Second Meeting Nadal and Ronaldo who both serve as PokerStars ambassadors, have already met for a poker match once last December in the European Poker Tour Prague Charity Challenge (EPT), a competition where Nadal beat Ronaldo as well as one of the world's most popular and highly rated players, Daniel Negreanu. The EPT in which the two stars clashed raised €100,000 for charity. Ronaldo Seeking Revenge Ahead of the anticipated duel next month, Ronaldo did not attempt to hide his hopes for revenge in the upcoming rematch. "I challenged Rafa to a rematch after finding out he was preparing for another live poker game. The last time we played together Rafa won the match and it was a lot of fun. This time it will be different, though, because I have been improving on my own poker strategy and will be more prepared," said the Brazilian football legend. After a difficult injury-plagued season which culminated in his withdrawal from the US Open Grand Slam just a month ago, Nadal hopes to repeat his success in last year's poker game against Ronaldo. He said: "It was my first live poker tournament when I last played against Ronaldo and one year later I’m more confident with my skill level. I really enjoy playing poker and the challenge of learning as quickly as possible, so I can’t wait to get back into training on my game and to play against Ronaldo."
eCOGRA is an independent, UK based, online casinos regulator, approved by many European regulatory bodies. They have announced a number of changes to the ways in which they operate, to keep them in line with the latest EU recommendations. New eCOGRA Practices Much of the change is due to new draft legislation published by the European Commission regarding consumer protection, information security and money laundering. eCOGRA carries out continual reviews of its practices, and has announced these changes to ensure that accredited casinos adhere to strict guidelines. The information security provisions detailed in ISO/IEC 27001:2013, as well as the European Parliament's proposals for a Fourth European Union Anti-Money Laundering Directive and the EU Commission's common protection of consumers of online gambling services recommendations are the main basis for the updates. The eCOGRA Regulatory Compliance and eGAP Manager, Jeanne Ferreira has commented on the changes, stating that ''Demand for the eCOGRA Safe and Fair seal continues to grow,'' and that ''The latest amendments to the eGAP Requirements provide confidence that eCOGRA's requirements are keeping pace with international developments.'' Chief Executive Andrew Beveridge has added that the self-regulation of eCOGRA continues to be refined. About eCOGRA Over 200 of the biggest and most well known online gambling operators are accredited by eCOGRA, including Casino Rewards, Fortune Lounge, Unibet, 32Red, 888 and bwin.party. Launched in 2003, eCOGRA is an independent body which employs auditors, many with experience of working for the Big 4 accountancy firms, gambling specialists and experts on information systems to examine each casino to ensure that they are fair, trusted, secure and follow industry best practices. The Seal of Approval is a well respected accreditation that both potential customers and the industry look out for. eCOGRA has been given the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS) approval to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 : General Requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
This week, the NFL travels across the pond to offer the growing number of fans in the UK the chance to watch professional football. This will be the first of three international games planned for this season and although the teams playing in tonight's game aren't the best so far, it should be an excellent game. The Miami Dolphins are not having the type of season they had hoped for and currently sit 1-2 in the AFC East. If Miami are not happy with the season so far, the Oakland Raiders (0-3) should be outright embarrassed about theirs. Both Miami and Oakland sit in last place in their respective divisions and critics are skeptical of head coaches Joe Philbin (Dolphins) and Dennis Allen (Raiders) chances of turning the season around. The Dolphins were crushed last week by the Chiefs (34-19), while the Raiders lost a close one to the Patriots (9-16). For Miami, it is their offense that looks like the biggest weak link right now. They are ranked in the high 20's in almost every offensive category except rushing, which they are in seventh. The Raiders are in even worse shape. They are in last place in the entire NFL in numerous offensive categories and if they continue to play as terribly as they have been, it will be a long season. Live Sports Betting with William Hill For punters that wish to get in on the NFL action from Wembley, it is fitting that William Hill UK's oldest and most popular online sportsbook is offering a number of markets. The Dolphins are the favorites at 1.45 but the underdog Raiders (2.80) are hungry for a win and the UK could bring the luck they have been searching for. William Hill Sports is also offering Over/Under, Point Spread, Touchdown Scorer markets and more.
NetEnt released its Attraction slot just a few weeks ago to much acclaim from players. Science is the theme of the slot, with lots of nifty gadgets and scientific elements displayed in bright cartoon graphics. For starters, the wild symbol looks like something from a cartoon science experiment. There is a colourful ball of pink shrouded by blue particles moving around in mid-air. Playing the Slot The slot interface is positioned in front of a cartoon lab displayed in the background, so there is no doubt as to theme of the game. Looking back to the slot, this features five reels and three rows on each, allowing for 15 symbols to be displayed at once. Although there are no numbers on the side of the reels, the dots do indicate that Attraction consists of ten reels. Coin value goes from €0.01 to €1, while the betting level rises from one to ten. Winning Combinations Attraction can offer the prospect of winning a jackpot worth up to 50,000 coins. The most lucrative symbol in the game is to land four of the red satellite on a payline, as this triggers a 500x multiplier. Magnet Feature A nifty aspect of the game is the Magnet feature, which is triggered when a wild symbol lands on the same row or column as a magnet. This will result in a sticky wild that will remain active for a re-spin. When outside of this feature, wilds will appear normal – pink as opposed to blue. Wilds can only land on reels two, three, and four. Attraction Slot at Cherry Casino Cherry Casino has a welcome deal offering a 100% first deposit bonus worth up to €200. This popular NetEnt casino was one of the first to host Attraction after it was launched in August. Find Attraction and other new NetEnt slots at Cherry Casino.

The end of next month sees the convergence of the anticipated Mobile & Tablet Gaming Summit USA which takes place October 27-28 in Atlantic City. As part of the preparations for the event, one of its main organizers Bullet Business is publishing papers with information and insights about online gaming and mobile technologies in the USA. One such paper recently published scopes out online casino initiatives which can arch beyond real money wagering, with a focus on mobile gaming. Here are some highlights. US Online Gambling Hardships Online gambling had a very rocky start in the US after regulation began in Delaware, New Jersey and Nevada in November of last year. Online gaming revenues have been well-below initial projections and generally it has been a big disappointment. Industry experts tend to ascribe this bad first year especially to one main reason: Poor user experience which is tied with difficulties players had in funding their accounts. Aside from legal and federal issues, commercial casinos have largely ignored mobile offers for their customers, remaining focused on website-based solutions. One of the reasons for this is a bias about core casino customers generally being of later ages and not having adapted to the world of smart phones and tablets; this has not been helped by the lackluster results of the first few online gambling months. Mobile is the Key Ridding itself of this bias, the industry could let players fund their accounts using mobile wallets, something which could open the door for a lot of others who are on the fence. Push notifications sent to mobiles based on geofencing could direct players in real time to certain areas in a casino. The advent of wearable tech could also come in handy: These could add novelty to wagering, creating a new world of experiences.

Monday Night Football travels to Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri as the Chiefs host the Patriots in front of a sold out stadium. This matchup should be an excellent battle from start to finish, as Tom Brady and the Patriots try to improve to 3-1, while Alex Smith and the struggling Chiefs try to make it 2-2. Tonight will be the first time since 2005 that these teams have faced each other in Kansas City and with both teams coming off a win last week; it should make for an action-packed game. On the Sidelines It is already week 4 and luckily, neither the Chiefs nor the Patriots have been plagued by injuries. The Chiefs are down a few players but nothing that cannot be resolved by their backup players. Joe McKnight (RB) is the only Chief that is definitely out for the game tonight after he suffered a ruptured Achilles at practice on Thursday. In addition, Sean Smith (CB), Tamba Hali (LB) and Jamaal Charles (RB) are all probable. De'Anthony Thomas is still questionable after a hamstring injury. The Patriots are in better shape and only Rob Gronkowski (TE) is questionable for tonight's game. In any case, both teams will need to leave it all on the field if they want to win. Last week showed that the Patriots need work on their interior line and need to move the ball a lot better through the air as Brady has only 3 TD's so far. The home team Chiefs are coming off a big win against the Dolphins 34-15 and must use that momentum to defeat the Patriots. Online Gambling Markets bet365 Sports is offering full online gambling markets for all NFL games this year and tonight's Monday night showdown is no different. The Patriots come to Kansas and favorites at 1.58, while the Chiefs are at 2.50. There are also Point Spread, Correct Score, Spread by Quarter and many more lines available.
After the draw on Friday didn’t reveal any winners for the U.S. Mega Millions jackpot, the amount has been rolled over yet again and it is now worth $105,000,000. The next draw will take place on Tuesday, September 30 at 11pm ET. This also makes it the biggest lottery jackpot in the world at this time and the only one to have nine digits. How To Play U.S. Mega Millions Lottery The popularity of the American lottery is in no small part due to the simplicity of the process. Interested players can easily take part in the action by buying a ticket, or several. The cost is one dollar per play and each ticket has a total of six numbers which are selected from two different pools. The regular five numbers, also known as the white balls, are picked from a pool of numbers from 1 to 75 while the special number, also known as the yellow ball, comes from a pool of 15 consecutive numbers. In order to win the jackpot, all six numbers must match the ones randomly extracted on the draw. Smaller prizes can be won by only getting some of the numbers right, up to $1 million for matching all the five white balls. An additional Megaplier can be purchased for $1 more per play and this will multiply non-jackpot winnings by 2, 3, 4 or 5 times. This option however is not available in all states. Buying Tickets For The Draw Although the U.S. Mega Millions only sells tickets in retail stores throughout the nation, there are services on the internet which allow people from other countries to easily purchase online lottery tickets, like Lottery Master and The Lotter. Customers can choose which numbers they want to play and then representatives will buy the tickets in their name and send them a scanned image for proof. The winner will have to come and claim the jackpot in person but this should not be an issue seeing that it is worth $105 million.
