BetSoft Gaming was the first to introduce 3D cinematic graphics to the world of online slots and it continues to increase its special collection with brand new titles. The latest video slot to be added to the Slots3 Arcade list is called Mega Gems and it takes a simple theme to the next level. Mechanics and Symbols Mega Gems has five reels, three rows and ten paylines. As the name would suggest, the slot is all about precious gems and these are represented in 3D details on the reels, with nice animations for when they are part of a winning combination. The futuristic background and the design for the interface make it a very modern casino game and the attention to detail is very impressive. The overall feel of the game given by the design and the sound make Mega Gems a very calming slots game that can easily make for an exciting win with the right combination of symbols. Features and Progressive Jackpot The features are quite simple and the main one is the Expanding Wild that can take up an entire reel. Every time the polychrome Wild symbol stops on the screen, the reel it was on is transformed into a large Wild and allows for bigger winning combos. After the Wild Reel is played, Mega Gems offers a Free Spin to keep the winning streak going; thus making it possible for a chain of Wilds and Free Spins. Every bet will count towards the Progressive Jackpot that is worth several tens of thousands of dollars. The Jackpot symbol takes up three spots on the reel and they need to be matched just right for the growing jackpot to be awarded to the winner. Mega Gems can be found at the leading online casinos powered by BetSoft Gaming, such as bet365 Casino, Vera and John Casino and Casino Extra.
Online casinos often times look to add something different to their offers and not just have the regular deposit bonuses available. Lately it has become quite popular for some of the big brands to put up paid vacations to exotic locations that players can win by simply doing what they do best, betting on the games. Ladbrokes is one of the leaders in this regard as it recently set up on a mission to send players to the 7 Wonders of the World. Every month, one lucky player and a guest will be able to go to one of the popular landmarks with Ladbrokes taking care of everything. Christ the Redeemer Rio de Janeiro is the location chosen for the month of November and the winner will be able to visit the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer in Brazil. Of course, the prize package includes more than just a visit to one of the 7 wonders of the world and it actually lasts for one whole week, with paid hotel accommodations, spending money and business class flight tickets. Travel the World Each of the seven wonders is a must-see for everyone but not many actually get to see them and this is one of the things that make it a great idea from Ladbrokes. The popularity of the landmarks should be more than enough to get the action going and if this month’s destination is not ideal, there are more to look forward to. The other wonders of the world are the Coliseum in Italy, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Taj Mahal in India, the Great Wall of China, Petra in Jordan and Machu Picchu in Peru. The draw for Brazil will take place on December 1st and players have plenty of time to earn their tickets until then.
The St. Louis Rams continue their brutal schedule tonight as they travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals. Arizona lead the NFL with the best record at 7-1, which means that the Rams will need to pull out all the stops to compete with the league leaders. The NFC West is the toughest division in the NFL this season and the Cardinals have made their presence known. The Rams (3-5) are at the bottom of the division but have had, and continue to have one of the hardest schedules of any team. Although they haven’t had the best run this year, two of the three games they have won, have been against the Seahawks and the 49ers, second and third place respectively. That stat should terrify the Cardinals as it shows that the Rams are a different team against their division rivals. If the Rams can execute a few crucial things, they might be able to compete with Arizona and pull out yet another miracle. Keys to Victory The most important thing the Rams need to do is give Austin Davis time in the backfield and try to stop the fierce Cardinals defense. On the other side of the field, Arizona’s defense needs to break the near-perfect Arizona offensive line and hit Carson Palmer hard. Lastly, the Rams need to run the ball - to get past the Arizona run defense they must move the ball on the ground. Online Sports Betting Bet365 sports is offering attractive lines for all NFL games this season and have some of the best markets for tonight’s game. The Cardinals are obvious favorites at 1.31 but don’t count out the Rams just yet at 3.60. There are Point Spread lines, Correct Score, Half Time/Full Time Result and much more. Prediction True, the Rams have been surprisingly good against NFC West teams but this game will be a blowout in favor of the Cardinals. Expect the score to be around 34-10.

Monday Night Football this week features the struggling Carolina Panthers visiting the best team in the NFC East, the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams are NFC contenders and if the Panthers can pull out a win tonight, they’ll be in contention for top spot in the NFC South. It will be an uphill battle for the Panthers tonight as they are not even a shadow of the team that won twelve games last year. Their defense is full of holes and Cam Newton is not consistent at the helm. Injury Report The Eagles have already won six games and are serious NFC contenders. One of the major obstacles that the Eagle’s attack will need to overcome is that they will be without their starting QB Nick Foles, which could pose a real problem for Philadelphia. LeSean McCoy, Philly’s starting RB is still questionable and without him, the Eagles will have a limited ground game. The Panthers have suffered a wealth of injuries this season and tonight is no better. Bene Benwikere is out, as is Trai Turner both with ankle injuries. Philly Brown, Dwan Edwards and Kawann Short are all probable but they might not get the green light. Online Betting Markets NFL Monday Night Football gets an attractive list of online betting odds and markets from UK sportsbook bet365. The home team Eagles are the outright favorites at 1.34, but without their starting QB, it could be the Panthers (3.35) that walk away with an underdog win. Punters have Point Spread lines, Scoring Lines, Correct Score and a number of odds, which could be the ticket to lucrative cash, pending the correct markets are made. Prediction Beating the Eagles in Philadelphia at home is a daunting task for even the best teams in the league and something that hasn’t happen this season. Both of the Eagles’ losses were away games and they were rare occurrences. The Eagles should pull out yet another victory tonight: 31-24.

The eyes of poker players and fans all over the world are aimed at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas today as the World Series of Poker championship final (WSOP) enters its second and last day. The WSOP championship final kicked off yesterday with nine players from six different countries vying for the first place prize of $10,000,000, the other eight places sharing a total prize amount of $18,480,121. The "November Nine" The 45th WSOP championship began five months ago with some 6,683 players and it came down to these nine skilled players who had earned the nickname the "November Nine". The nine players are playing in a $10,000 buy-in Main Event for the huge prizes but also for cementing their names in the annals of poker and winning the coveted golden bracelet. This year's WSOP final lineup is unique in the sense that it presents the competition with the youngest team to date, the average age standing at around 28. To compare, the youngest player in the 2010 WSOP finals was 37 years old; among the nine playing today, the oldest is 32. Even more unique is the fact that none of the finalists have ever won the title before, making the competition fresh and exciting. The Appeal of Online Poker One of the possible explanations for the youngest lineup of players at the final can be traced back to the rising popularity of online poker. From anywhere and at anytime, players can hone their skills against other live opponents in online poker, a tool with which they can gain experience much faster. Recent years have already seen online poker players being able to buy in into big offline poker events including the many competitions in the WSOP, playing at leading online poker rooms the likes of bet365 Poker and Winner Poker.

Don't miss any of the ATP's last games of the season and follow your favorite player.
Last week's US midterm elections are considered a great success for the Republican Party. The Republicans swept across states and commanded a majority in the Senate, something which will weigh hard on any domestic or foreign policy the Obama administration will attempt to lead in the next two years. An important question is how the midterm results will affect the plight for regulation of online gambling in the US. Below is a roundup of the results and their possible implications in four major states. Massachusetts The results in the Bay State are a mixed bag. On the one hand, voters rejected the repeal of the 2011 law which allowed for the building and licensing of three land-based casinos in the state. A spokeswoman for the Committee to Protect Mass Jobs praised the rejection, saying that it will bring $400 million in annual revenues for the state as well as generate new jobs. On the other hand, the new Democrat treasurer, Deb Goldberg, who supported the casino repeal, has expressed anti-online gambling statements in the past. While the establishment of land-based casinos is good for the future potential of online gambling, it remains to be seen how these casinos will do and how the fight for iGaming in the Bay State will take form under Goldberg's office. Florida In Florida, online gambling opponent Republican Rick Scott was re-elected. Scott is a supporter of casino mogul Sheldon Adelson's campaign against online gambling. Scott's re-election is perhaps the biggest blow to iGaming regulation efforts in the US as Florida was considered by many as a state which might adopt regulated online poker in the future, yet hope remains. Pennsylvania Democrat Tom Wolf won Pennsylvania's governor race. Wolf has expressed his opposition to legalized online gambling and the building of more casinos in the Keystone State, but now that he will actually occupy the sit he might reconsider as gambling could be a good revenue generator for him to make his campaign promises come true. Illinois In Illinois, the Governor's sit was cleared by Democrat Pat Quinn for Republican Bruce Rauner. Quinn was a staunch opponent of land-based casinos while Rauner stated that while he personally opposes gambling, he believes casinos can be built if these are supported by local communities. As in other cases, according to the thesis that land-based gambling advances online gambling regulation, the future of regulation in Illinois is brighter.
