Winning on the road has been a real challenge for Chelsea throughout the season and after the recent struggles, Tottenham fans have good reasons to be optimistic. They will host the reigning champions and despite the fact that the head to head record is not in their favor, they got a decent chance at claiming all three points. The Derby of London is usually tilted towards the Blues, yet on this particular occasion, the visitors would gladly settle for one point. Mourinho Strives to End the Slide Chelsea could surely use all three points, as they sit deep inside the second half of the tables, but this is not the goal they are after. Against Tottenham, the starting formation will feature a single striker and with Hazard still injured, there are not many offensive options in the midfield. Mourinho knows that Chelsea has no chance to win the trophy this season and the goal is to finish on one of the top four places, to secure another Champions League berth. The Premier League results have been largely disappointing and the top priority right now is to secure passage to the elimination round of the Champions League. The result will be a defensive minded starting 11 focusing on not losing the game. High Expectations for Tottenham The home side never hesitated to take Chelsea head on when having home pitch advantage and this is the perfect time to play offensive football. Kane seems to be back in form after struggling earlier this season and he has scored goals in back-to-back games. Pochettino is one of the boldest managers in the Premier League and he knows how to seize the opportunity when it presents itself. The 4-3-3 starting formation is the best proof that Tottenham will be going for all three points, even if this means letting its guard down. Chelsea has been far more dangerous against prudent teams, so it pays off to take odds of 19/20 offered by bet365 Sports on the Over 2.5 goals.

It looks like Pennsylvania might be following in the footsteps of Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware, the only three states to have thus far legalized online gambling. But if online gambling proponent Rep. John Payne has his way, Pennsylvania will be added to that list. Earlier this month, the Pennsylvania House Gaming Oversight Committee approved a bill, sponsored by Payne, that would legalize and regulate online gambling in the Keystone State. Approval was was won in a landslide 18-8 vote in favor of online gambling. What Next? The bill will now move to a full House vote. If it is approved there, it will continue onto the Senate, and finally, on to Governor Tom Wolf, who will have the choice of approving it or vetoing it. Another option is for the bill to become part of a larger bill, which would include gambling reforms such as airport slot machines, online lottery sales and daily fantasy sports regulation. Poker Players Alliance executive director John Pappas commented, “The PPA thanks Chairman John Payne and the Committee for their leadership. Now this bill needs to become law. The safety of consumers and the fiscal health of Pennsylvania will be vastly improved when Internet gaming is appropriately licensed, regulated and taxed. It is our hope that the legislation will be enacted on its own or as part of the state’s 2016 budget by the end of this year.” What Will Online Gambling Do for Pennsylvania? One of the main purposes of legalizing online gambling is to help Pennsylvania with its budget deficit, which currently stands somewhere around the $2 billion mark. Pennsylvania has estimated that regulating online gaming could bring in approximately $300 million annually, as well as boost revenue for the state's 12 land-based casinos. Pennsylvania's current gambling market brings in around $3 million a year.
The very popular Mr Green Casino and the ingenious software developer Net Entertainment have teamed up once again to create a special slot machine. Called Mr Green: Moonlight, the game has been exclusively created for the online casino and features the famous mascot dressed in green in a mysterious theme. Amazing Looking Graphics Mr Green: Moonlight is set in the 1860s and the main protagonist is Mr Green himself, who is now a werewolf hunter after his wife was killed by such a creature. He can be seen alongside the five reels, looking over the town at night, with his gun in hand. The attention to detail for the creepy background and the symbols on the screen make the game very entertaining and this of course was to be expected from NetEnt. Rewarding Features It wouldn’t be a great modern slot without some special features and the slot machine lives up to expectations with Linked Wilds, Free Spins and win multipliers. Linked Wilds are shown as the moon, which can be blue during the base game and red during the free spins. These can appear on reels 2, 3 and 4 and one has the power to turn two or more nearby symbols into additional wild symbols. Free Spins are triggered by three or more scatter symbols on the screen for 10 rounds and can be re-triggered by getting more scatters. For the mode, a multiplier symbol can appear on the fifth reel and increases the win multiplier by one each time, up to x5. Furthermore, at least one Blood Moon Linked Wild is guaranteed on the screen for each free spin. Other Specs The game is played on five reels with three rows of symbols and 20 fixed lines which pay from left to right. The coin value can range between 0.01 and 0.50, while the level can go up to 10 and determines the number of coins used on each spin. The symbol showing Mr Green is the highest paying one in the game, followed by the werewolf.
The 11th edition of the eGaming Review Operator awards recently took place and the highest honors went to Net Entertainment for its slot machine Spiñata Grande.

These include Colossal Symbols which can take up 2x2 or 3x3 positions on the screen for more ways to win. There is even a Mini-Slots feature inside the slot as the Mexican machine symbol will trigger the function where 3, 6 or 9 symbols make up a smaller game with three types of coins for the prizes.

The game also comes in a demo version for players looking to spin the reels for free a bit before they jump in the real action with money bets.
They are the second last and the last place teams in the AFC North. The Ravens, 3-7 are having a terrible year and it is hard to remember that they won the Super Bowl in 2013. The Browns are in even rougher shape with a 2-8 record, good enough for last place in the entire AFC, and if they lose tonight, they could be en route to tying their worst season of all times, which was in 1999, ending the regular season at 2-14. The Browns are back and rested after a much needed bye week and seemed to be fired up to win tonight's home game. The Ravens do not look good, even with last week's win against the Rams. Lest we forget that they only scored 16 points to win the game by 3; 13 of those points came in the fourth quarter. Neither of these teams are anywhere near a playoff berth, but tonight's game is for pride and they will be going hard to win. The Browns beat Baltimore when they met earlier in the season and the Ravens will undoubtedly be looking for revenge. The Browns need to stick to the exact same game plan, as they did last time they beat the Ravens. Josh McCown broke the franchise record with 457 passing yards and two TD's. McCown is a great QB and utilizes all of the weapons at his disposal. Joe Flacco is having a decent season himself but cannot seem to get the wins when he needs them. Flacco has thrown 2,791 yards and 14 TD's but his defense and offensive line are not at the level they need to be in order to win. MNF Live in Play Betting All of the NFL regular season games are offered at leading UK sportsbook bet365. Monday Night Football odds are the last chance to bet on the week's games and bet365 has yet again come through with competitive odds and live in play betting. The Browns are the favorites to win with home field advantage at 1.50, while the Ravens, not too far behind at 2.70 have the chance to even out the 2015 rivalry.
Denmark's national gambling regulatory body Spillemyndigheden has reported continued revenue growth for the country's online gaming market for Q3 2015. Jumps All Around In a country fond of online casinos such as Tivoli, Maria and Roxy Palace Casino, online casinos brought in gross gaming revenues of DDK330 million (€44.2 million/$47.1 million), representing a DDK265 million jump from Q3 last year, but still a slight drop from the DDK335 million posted in the second quarter of this year. As far as general betting revenue, the Q3 total stands at DDK560 million, a jump from DDK495 million in Q3 2014 as well as an increase from the DDK470 million recorded in this year's second quarter. Total gross gaming revenue also experienced a jump, as the figure jumped from 2014 Q3's DDK760 million to DDK890 million for the same period this year. The Q3 total was also up from the DDK805 million posted in this year's Q2. As for gross gaming revenue from gaming machines, a slight drop showed from Q2 showed at DDK385 million, down from the DDK415 million generated in Q2 of this year but nonetheless stronger than the DDK370 million achieved in Q3 of last year. Land-based casino revenues had a better showing for Q3 than any quarter since 2012, increasing from DDK80 million in the third quarter of last year to DDK95 million in Q3 of 2015, marking the most successful quarter since the start of 2012. Total Impact Spillemyndigheden expects Q3 performance to boost gross gaming revenue for the year to just shy of DDK8.4 billion, for a boost of over half a billion from last year's DDK7.8 billion total. At this point, any country that expands effectively is worth observing further in the interests of generating sustainable models for expansion for the rest of the world. European countries on the fence about iGaming regulation should look into the Danish when considering the pros and cons.
LAC is coming, and may be bigger than expected, or hoped for. Huge Amount of Delegates Already Signed The 10th London Affiliate Conference is expecting over 4000 delegates for its 2016 version. Set to take place from the 4th February - 7th February 2016 for four days of conference, exhibition and networking, the most exciting feature of this dedicated acquisition zone looks to be the prominent Financial Partners Expo, the largest dedicated expo to be held in tandem with LAC 2016 for affiliates and introducing brokers in retail finance. The iGB Affiliate Awards are also going to be held during LAC, so all members need to remember to nominate and vote as well. Great Memory The testimonials from last year were sparkling from industry luminaries such as Highdown Communication's Cliff Pointing, who is looking forward to a long-lasting relationship with the partners from LAC 2015 he has worked with, and further testified to the amount of business that was done last year all over the event room. LAC's activities this year include a Strategic Conference Programme, the 2-day conference delivering a wealth of industry updates and cutting edge marketing techniques via panels and presentations. Innovative and Fun Networking As far as Networking, a self-style “relaxed” atmosphere of events will encourage an open exchange of ideas and experiences among a diverse and comprehensive array of professionals among affiliates, affiliate managers, operators and speakers. The acquisition zone for LAC 2016 is a new twist, serving as a dedicated area for service providers involved in all stations of the marketing process from email service and tech companies to performance marketing and creative agencies. After the business day ends, what better way to close some deals than at your favorite party? There will be more than a few post exhibition parties to complete the “relaxation” of the networking atmosphere. Calling All Brokers and Affiliates Best of all, the conference is free to all marketing affiliates and introducing brokers, to maximize the talent pool for attendees to choose from. With a month left, by the time everybody checks in and registers at LAC 2016, the final attendance totals and volume of deals made may well be overwhelming.
