Some of the finest slot machines currently available at online casinos are produced by NetEnt, so any new release is highly anticipated by the fans of the genre. King of Slots is an amazing video slot using no fewer than 15 independent reels and an abundance of unique features. Wild substitutions, free spins and Sticky Wins are up for grabs and online casinos powered by the software developer are also likely to dedicate special promotions to this new release. Available at all NetEnt Casinos Just like progressive jackpot games which have the prizes pooled across the entire NetEnt network, King of Slots will be available in all these online casinos, with casinos like Winner Casino, BETAT Casino and Fruity Casa Casino to name a few.

The outright leaders of the Premier League Man. City get set to host Crystal Palace tonight, as the teams begin the fourth round of the Capital One Cup. Crystal Palace will face the other team from Manchester, United on Saturday in a Premier League clash so this match will serve as an example for what's to come this weekend. Crystal Palace have not won at Manchester City since 1990. Tonight's match would be the perfect time for the underdogs to win, as it would mean a spot in the quarter finals of the Capital One Cup. Crystal Palace have never won the FA Cup or the League Cup, but Alan Pardew's side is ready and want to win badly tonight. They will have their striker Dwight Gayle back in action, which is great news for Crystal Palace, as City is still missing Sami Nasri, Fernandinho, Sergio Aguero and David Silva out for various reasons. If City can win tonight they will be that much closer to their fourth league championship, which would match their rivals Manchester United. Manuel Pellegrini swept Sunderland in the last round 4-1 and they should do the same thing to Crystal Palace tonight. Crystal Palace started the season out very strong, but have recently fallen off their A game and lost to West Ham at home and to Leicester City last week. The Eagles are without their left-back Pape Souare and this will lead to Adrian Mariappa to make his debut. Online Capital One Cup Gambling Bet365 is offering full betting coverage of tonight's match and has posted attractive odds for punters eager to get in on the action. City are obviously the home pitch favorites tonight at 1.40, while Crystal Palace is behind at 8.50. A draw could be plausible at 5.25, which would pay out quite well for punters.
While the EU authority is firmly in support of online gambling regulation, each country has their own set of ethics and legal mechanisms through which the individual state's process of regulating online gambling must run. The Alpine Challenge Some countries have yet to define their policy towards online gambling, resulting in numerous delays in the legislative process. One of those countries is Switzerland, where a series of recent events have brought attention, and hope, back to the sovereign state for regulation in the near future. At this point, a new proposal to Swiss legislators for terrestrial casinos to offer online casinos and gambling appears to be gaining traction. Proposed Legislation The proposed legislation would come into effect around 2019, which is according to the twenty one land-based casino operators in the Swiss Federation of Casinos understandably “far too late” to get the country up to speed on internet betting. The Current Climate Switzerland currently regulates gambling through taxation of lottery and sports betting winnings, with casino winnings still exempt. The new proposal maintains that status quo for now, with offshore online gambling service providers subject to controversial IP blocking practices which could cut Swiss players off from online gambling entirely, in a country where casinos like Gaming Club Casino, bet365 Casino and Casino Cruise are already wildly popular. Efforts for Change Ongoing lobbying efforts to expand player pools and increase taxable revenues for the Swiss government focus on expanding the allowed offerings of the Swiss Federation of Casinos to include poker, lottery, and sports betting. This comes in response to a thirty percent fall in revenues from gambling activity for the Swiss gambling industry. The suggestion for expansion of offerings certainly contributed to the inclusion in the proposed legislation of the permission of low buy-in poker games in spots other than casinos if the total stakes are returned to players. Economically speaking, the benefits of this legislation are questionable, because higher stakes players comprising the large majority of the market may go elsewhere, which would lower the volume of usage fees. Swiss Forecast Switzerland will likely have to seek a model of regulation that is implementable far sooner than 2019, or reject online regulation entirely. In light of EU policy favoring regulation, the former seems more likely than the latter.

The Swiss ATP Basel is already in the second round of play and local tennis legend Roger Federer will be playing in front of his countrymen tonight against Phillip Kohlschreiber on center court. Federer has won this Swiss indoor tournament more than any other player in history with six titles and is the current champion from last year. It was a shocker on the courts last night as fellow Swiss tennis star Stan Wawrinka went out in his match against Karlovic in the first round. Fans are hopeful that Federer will not be ousted early on and make it to the later stages of the tourney. Odds are with Federer and judging from his play in the first round winning 6-1 and 6-2, he is the outright favorite to take a second straight title. If Kohlschreiber is to have even a slight chance of winning he will need to make Federer chase heavy shots. Even with a good shot to the back court and a hard serve, the odds are few and far between for Kohlschreiber. The ATP Basel is a great venue for punters, keen to get in on competitive betting on one of the last tennis events of 2015. Federer is at 1.062 and Kohlschreiber is in need of a tennis miracle at 10.00. Bet365 is offering markets on each set and dozens of additional lines to choose from. In addition, punters can choose from one of the live in play markets that bet365 will be interactively posting on the site throughout the match and this is the best way to maximize profits. It's one of the last chances to get in on ATP Betting this year and it could be the ticket to lucrative cash. Check out the second round action tonight and stay tuned for more of the Swiss Indoor tournament live from Basel.
