The world of online slots is constantly growing thanks to the major software providers that are always working on new titles. Leading online casinos increase their collections of games quite often in order to make sure that players always have something new to check out. Two games have recently made headlines and are definitely on the list of slots that will keep things exciting with their themes and special features. Small Fortune Goes Mobile at Grande Vegas Casino Small Fortune was first released a couple of years ago and it quickly became popular due to its colorful design and theme based around a nice picnic in the summer, while still keeping with the known Realtime Gaming design. The game has five reels, three rows and up to 25 paylines that can be selected for every spin. Some of its special features include two progressive jackpots, a minor and a major one, that can be won randomly after the conclusion of a spin. The fun picnic is now available on mobile devices as Grande Vegas Casino continues to expand its mobile collection with the addition of Small Fortune for the smaller screens. The slot game will keep all of its features and nice graphics even when played on smartphones so players can still get free spins, big payouts with the wild symbols and more. Brideless Groom Added at Springbok Casino The popularity of The Three Stooges and the amusing style adopted on the reels has made for a very fun slots game. Now, the sequel to The Three Stooges III slot is being released, with Springbok Casino featuring it as one of its top games. Called Brideless Groom, the game comes with 33 paylines for its five reels and it is filled with bonus features, free spins, Whacky Wilds and multipliers. At the end of a spin, players can randomly win 33 free spins with the Lucky Stooge Feature.
Global lottery provider GTECH is closing in on a full acquisition of US gaming supplier International Game Technology (IGT) on the heels of successful pricing of $5 billion in senior secure notes to complete the transaction. Deal Breakdown The senior secured notes for the deal are valued at $3.2 billion plus another $1.6 billion in Euros, and will be used to finance GTECH's acquisition of IGT. In conjunction with the acquisition of IGT, another part of the deal has GTECH merging with global financiers Georgia Worldwide, a company whose shares are already listed on the New York City Stock Exchange. Georgia Worldwide's Role Georgia Worldwide's role in the IGT deal will be to issue the notes and utilize the proceeds from those note offerings to cover the cash component of the merger and acquisitions costs for GTECH in taking over IGT. This is the first issuance of notes by a US company to cover a global gambling related merger, with aggregate amounts of principle due in annual percentage increments paying out each year from 2020 to 2025. The structuring is an example of innovative financial measures taken to globalize and diversify GTECH's lottery offerings, while being supplemented by a third party participating in a market where gambling is limited. Escrow Notes Creates Hybrid-Like Deal The use of proceeds held in escrow by participating company Georgia Worldwide in its hybrid form with IGT called NewCo represents a unique form of adding value to a gambling acquisition deal. This innovative financing approach will likely pave the way for more deals integrating overseas companies into the unregulated American economic system via the New York stock exchange, despite the fact that federal gambling laws in the Continental United States remain undefined and relatively unregulated at the national level.
This Friday evening sees serious action at the top of the Scottish Championship league as Glasgow Rangers host Hibernian at Ibrox Stadium (19:45 UK time). The last meeting between the two sides took place last December, with Hibernian thoroughly thrashing Rangers 4-0. Rangers Seek Revenge Taking in mind the fresh thrashing, Rangers will seek to turn the wheel and wage revenge today at home against their thrashers. While both teams are far away from undisputed table leader Heart of Midlothian, Rangers have the edge on Hibernian as they're located second in the Championship table with 41 points – Hibenrian are down just one point at the third spot. While Rangers beat Alloa 1-0 in their last league game, the team suffered a defeat by the legs of Raith Rovers with a 1-2 loss at home. Rangers' performance has led some to claim it is the worst team in the club's history. Rangers will be keen not to let their thrashers from two months ago to emerge victorious again. Hibernian Favorites While Hibernian finished with a 1-1 draw against Raith Rovers a fortnight ago, their two prior games were quite successful: 0-2 against Queens of the South and 5-0 against Cowdenbeath. Despite the difficult situation their rival team is having, Hibernian boss Alan Stubbs asked his players not to think about that but to just focus on taking 3 points home. A win today would take the Hibs up to the second spot where they could start a run to get away from the struggling Rangers. Stubbs said that he expects a response from Rangers after the bad week they have had, downsizing his side so to speak in order not to build any expectations. Bet Live The game will be live at Winner Sports with a host of in-play betting markets as well as pre-match markets. Full time result odds gave Rangers 11/10, Hibernian 21/10 and 5/2 for a draw. Tune-in Winner Sports this evening for quality Scottish football action.

With access to inside information from some of the world’s most popular casino sites, we are in a unique position to provide insights that you won’t find elsewhere. Online Casino Reports was interested in the types of slots games you like, the places where you play them, and most importantly, the games that brought you the biggest wins. And thanks to Crazy Vegas Casino and Golden Riviera Casino, we have discovered the top three answers across three categories relating to online slot games. Without the help of Crazy Vegas and Golden Riviera, this slots special would not have been possible. So, we hope you appreciate the findings and analysis. Most Popular Slot Games We were curious as to the most popular games among slots players. It turns out some of our favorites are also yours. We weren't surprised at the results. 1. Thunderstruck II A sequel to the popular Thunderstruck slot, this slot extends the mythology of the series by plunging players once again into the world of Norse legends. Players have 243 ways of winning and there are four challenges to unlock in The Great Hall of Spins. 2. Immortal Romance Popular vampire TV shows and movies of recent years have helped to propel Immortal Romance to second place in this top three. Two features common features shared with Thunderstruck II are the 243 ways of winning and Hall/Chamber of Spins. 3. Tomb Raider Join legendary video game character Lara Croft for her first ever slot-based adventure. Land three idol symbols to trigger the bonus game, during which you need to find the Tomb Raider symbols to generate winnings. Largest Non-Progressive Jackpot Wins of 2014 Last, but certainly not least, we wanted to know which games were paying out the biggest jackpots. 1. $120,000: Nuclear Power 9s Curiously, the largest jackpot wins of 2014 were non-progressive wins. And out of the many 100k+ wins in 2014, the 120k won on Nuclear Powers 9s was the most impressive. 2. $116,000: Immortal Romance In designing Immortal Romance, Microgaming made it possible for players to win up to 72,900 chips, making it entirely possible to win over 100k. Largest Progressive Wins of 2014 1. $75,000: LotsaLoot Progressive jackpots are shared among multiple casinos, so that helps to explain why these wins were smaller in 2014. Three LotsaLoot symbols on the fifth payline triggers this progressive jackpot. 2. $50,000: Cash Splash Microgaming has designed Cash Splash with five reels and 15 paylines, but it’s the progressive jackpot that will catch the eyes of players. Match five Cash Splash symbols on the same payline to release the major progressive jackpot. Countries that Favour Slot Games And the top three countries where players love slots are... 1. Australia Research from The Economist suggests that Australians wager approximately $18 million playing slot games. In fact, slots are so popular in Australia that the country has its own nickname for them: pokies. Australia was identified as the number one country for players who favoured slots over other games. 2. Canada Canada makes quite an interesting appearance at number two. A possible factor encouraging the playing of slot games could be that Canadians endure extremely cold temperatures. In some of the country’s cities, residents are regularly exposed to negative temperatures (for example: -15 degrees) 3. Germany Germany rounds out the top three, while also marking the first European entrant. In November 2014, research findings from the Federal Centre of Health Education found that half of the German population gambles each month. And of that half, only a tenth wager high stakes. Playing with low stakes can be easier with slot games. There you have it, folks. The biggest paying jackpots, the most popular games, and the top countries for slots players.
News reports have gradually revealed that Utah’s state representative Jason Chaffetz presented the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA) on Wednesday 4 February 2015. However, four political groups quickly rejected RAWA, with speculators believing that staunch Republican and global gambling magnate Sheldon Adelson was behind the formation of the bill. In explaining his supposed moral objection to online gambling, Rep. Chaffetz made a sweeping generalisation: “Putting an app on every phone that allows people to gamble wherever they are is not a good idea,” incorrectly adding that “minors can sign up and start placing bets without their parents even noticing.” Understanding RAWA The flaw with RAWA is that it would have determined online gambling legislation to the entire country. In 2014, it was also met with widespread opposition for attempting to cede state control of the issue to the federal government. By attempting to remove state-to-state control over gambling, opponents of RAWA argued that the bill would be a violation of their Tenth Amendment rights, which dictate that the power of the nation is determined by the powers bestowed upon it from each state. Political groups that opposed the return of RAWA included the American Conservative Union, Campaign for Liberty, Taxpayers Protection Alliance, and the Competitive Enterprise Institute. They simply could not accept RAWA because of the people behind it, the withdrawal of state control over gambling, and the inclusion of exceptions that could benefit Sheldon Adelson. Curiously, RAWA would have seen online gambling exceptions made for sports betting, horse racing, and fantasy sports, while banning all other forms. Critics of RAWA have also claimed that Sheldon Adelson is overreaching as a businessman by working closely with Republicans to try and shape federal legislation. The motives of Adelson have been questioned because of the millions of dollars he has earned from his Las Vegas casinos.
Celta Vigo are in need of a win tonight and they must do it against their rivals Atletico Madrid. The teams last met in Week 4 of La Liga action and that match ended in a 2-2 draw. An excellent result being that Celta last beat Atletico on the 25th of July in 2012. Atletico have outscored Celta 10-4 over their last five meetings but Celta are more confident in their chances at home tonight. Team Scope Celta Vigo are in 10th place on the La Liga table with 25 points, just behind Espanyol and Eibar. They don’t have a chance to finish in the top 5, but any win against a top team is a blessing. Celta will still be without Borja Oubina, Hugo Mallo and Cabral, each out resulting from injuries but are said to be rehabilitation well. The Celts will be counting on a big game from Nolito and Larrivey, each with seven goals, and Chilean star Fabián Ariel at midfield with four goals so far. Sergio Álvarez will undoubtedly have an action-packed night in net, as Atletico will surely have numerous chances to score. Atletico Madrid are in 3rd place currently, just 3 points behind Barcelona and 4 points behind league leaders Real Madrid. Coming off a humiliating win against Real Madrid last week put Atletico on cloud 9, as they beat their inter-city rivals 4-0. They look like a team that could easily win this year’s La Liga season led by Croatian attacker Mario Mandzukic with 19 goals so far. French attacking midfielder Antoine Griezmann is also expected to have a big night, as he has scored 14 so far. It may be a chance for Celta Vigo to improve on their 10th place standing but they may have more than they can handle with a hot Atletico Madrid looking for a La Liga title. Pre-Game and In-Play Props Punters looking to make the game a lot more interesting can do so at bet365 Sports, with the famed UK sportsbook offering attractive pre-game and live in-play betting markets. Atletico are the favorites tonight at 2.10, while Celta Vigo trail at 3.80. Correct Score is paying out at 6.00 for a 1-0 Atletico win and 17.00 for a 2-2 draw, as the team’s finished last match. In-Play is the incredible, interactive way to bet on the best games and tonight’s feature will be available for punters to do so.
