Not that long ago, these two teams played in the Turkish Superliga, but they were unable to avoid relegation and will now meet in the first division. Both are secretly hoping to return to the elite of Turkish football and in order to succeed, they need to secure a playoffs berth. Erciyesspor is struggling at the bottom of the tables, but is the team in better form and will aim for outright victory against Samsunspor. An Offensive Flurry for Erciyesspor The visiting team was recently sitting in the last place and there were plenty who regarded them as the most likely team to relegate. Three back-to-back victories have elevated Erciyesspor from that desperate situation and they are now hoping to build on that success. Defeating Samsunspor on the road will have a two-pronged effect, as the visitors will put more distance between them and the teams struggling in the relegation area. At the same time, they would close the gap separating them from those sitting on the podium, and get them back into the race for promotion. Over the last three games, they scored a combined eight goals, more than they did in all the previous matches. Samsunspor's Offensive Woes Get Worse The home side has been unable to score goals recently regardless of where the match took place and they are now mired in a five-game winless streak. To make matters worse, they were held scoreless in all these fixtures and they dropped from the first place. Samsunspor is on the verge of leaving the pack of teams actively fighting for promotion and their top priority is to end the slide. It is most unlikely for their offensive to come alive overnight, so Bet365 players would be wise to take the double chance wager on the visiting team. Erciyesspor is entitled to hope for more than one point on the road, yet risk-averse punters are advised to bet on them not to lose.
Some of the most important domestic championships are in recess, but English football continues unabated. Some fascinating games are scheduled for Boxing Day in what appears to be one of the most exciting Premier League seasons of the decade. Critical Home Games for Chelsea and Liverpool Chelsea has been bleeding points from the beginning of the season and now that they have a new manager, they are in dire need of winning back-to-back games. Defeating Sunderland was more difficult than pundits expected and on Boxing Day, the Blues will take on Watford. The newly promoted team is a stringy opponent and one riding an impressive four-game winning streak that includes a triumph over Liverpool. Speaking of which, the Reds are mired in a losing streak and if Klopp wants to bring his new team to a Champions League spot, he needs to defeat Leicester at home. They are the surprising leaders of the Premier League and they haven’t lost a match in the last 3 months. Seemingly Easy Tasks for Manchester City and Tottenham Manchester City plays at home against Sunderland and is expected to claim all 3 points with relative ease, as their opponents are struggling in the relegation area. The visitors are hardly a major threat, but it would be a mistake to underestimate them, given their past performance against top Premier League teams. Tottenham is taking on the newly promoted team, but Norwich has just proven its ability of winning on the road against former Premier League winners. They defeated Manchester United and held both Arsenal and Everton to a scoring draw and that’s the result they are hoping for at White Hart Lane. Manchester United and Arsenal Seek Victory on the Road Bet365 offers odds that exceed even value on both Arsenal and Manchester United to claim all three points away from home. The Gunners are in superb form and their morale was boosted by the home victory against Manchester City. They had plenty of players injured or suspended, yet they managed to score twice while preventing opponents from leveling the score in the second half. Arsenal is expected to take the initiative against Southampton, which is mired in a losing streak, but it’s uncertain if Manchester United can do the same. Stoke has a reputation for defending well for as long as it takes and they are deadly on the counterattack, a particularly useful weapon against United. Manchester has a couple of impressive strikers, but all seem to be out of form, including veteran Wayne Rooney. The Relegation Area Is in Turmoil Football fans are probably less enthusiastic about the games taking place at the bottom of the standings, but these are every bit as intense. Aston Villa is making a last-ditch attempt to avoid relegation and this time they need to claim all three points against West Ham. Newcastle and West Bromwich have home pitch advantage, but both are credited with a second chance by Bet365, due to their injury concerns and better placed opponents. Crystal Palace and Bournemouth were among the teams regarded as sure contenders for relegation, but both of them are far from the dangerous area and could settle for a draw.
Fei Cui Gong Zhu is a slot machine which was recently launched by Playtech. The title roughly translates to Emerald Princess and represents the main character found on the five reels. With its oriental theme and attention to detail, the game looks quite nice and is sure to find a lot of fans at leading online casinos. Winning Jackpots and Free Spins Right from the start, the game shows four different progressive jackpots on top of the reels and these can go up to big sums. For the actual screen, players can select up to 20 lines in order to get combinations of matching symbols which start from the first reel. The image of the princess is the wild symbol and it will substitute for any regular symbol needed to create a win. The scatter shows a gorgeous temple and not only does it pay regardless of its position, but getting at least three scatters will generate 10 free games with a x3 multiplier for the wins. Three or more bonus symbols on an active payline will start the Secret Garden bonus. The screen will change for this mode and show a beautiful lake with six flowers on it and the player must select several of them to get cash prizes. Every win in the base game will make the Gamble feature available and this small game can be used to double the amount with each correct prediction of the color of a random card. Playing for Real Money The Fei Cui Gong Zhu slot machine is available at several top Playtech-powered online casinos and the recommended ones are EuroGrand Casino, Omni Casino and Video Slots Casino. Betting real money will also make the four progressive jackpots available and any of them can be won in the Mystery Dragon Jackpot game which is triggered randomly on any spin.
Horse racing fans have an additional reason to be enthusiastic about Boxing Day, because on December 26, the King George VI Chase takes place. The second most prestigious event of this type in England, second only to Cheltenham Gold Cup, it brings together the very best horses and jockeys. This Grade 1 National Hunt chase has run virtually uninterrupted since 1937 and it covers a distance of roughly 3 miles. Participating horses need to be at least four years old and they have to jump over a total of 18 fences, while running nearly 5 km. It is an integral part of the celebrated William Hill Winter Festival, but all bookmakers dedicate extensive coverage to this event. Silviniaco Conti Hungry for a New Trophy The King George VI Chase was first run in 1937 and not many horses managed to win the competition several times. Southern Hero was the first to emerge victorious and almost 8 decades later it is still the oldest race winner ever. While his performance is unlikely to be matched in the foreseeable future, Silviniaco Conti has the chance to set another important milestone by winning the third consecutive race. Noel Fehily was his jockey on both occasions and he is certainly hoping for a third consecutive win, even though bookies credit Silviniaco Conti with the 4th chance. Bet365 offers odds of 7/1 on the reigning champion to defend his title, with Don Cossack being credited with the first chance and odds of 9/4. Vautour and Cue Card come in second and both are capable of winning their first King George VI Chase. Kauto Star Still Reigns Supreme with Five Victories Regardless of how Silviniaco Conti fares this season, he still has a long way to go to tie the all-time leader at the King George VI Chase. Kauto Star won the race a record five times, while Desert Orchid comes in second with four times and both horses are now retired. Ruby Walsh was Kauto’s jockey each time, while Paul Nicholls can brag about training him as well as the reigning champion.
Slot machines are always very popular among casino players but when it comes to progressive jackpots, the action reaches a whole new level and makes it a lot more exciting. The chance to win a huge amount of money is present with every spin, especially when talking about some of the most popular slots from Playtech featured at 7Regal Casino. Big titles with big jackpots The Gladiator Jackpot is one of the most recognizable slots on the internet because it is themed after the 2000 film Gladiator starring Russell Crowe in the main role. With the action taking place in the Coliseum and featuring several characters from the movie, the game quickly became a huge success and the jackpot version has made several millionaires over the years. The current size of the top prize is now over €1.4 million, making it the biggest progressive jackpot at 7Regal Casino. Monty Python’s Spamalot was designed to be funny and the theme is somewhat of a caricature of the story of King Arthur and the search for the Holy Grail. There are several bonus games available but the main attraction is of course the progressive jackpot which can be won during the Holy Grail Jackpot Game. The current size of it is around €854,000. Beach Life has a jackpot of €327,000 at this moment and it is one of the big games at 7Regal Casino where players can win while having fun with the spinning reels. The Marvel Jackpot The Marvel collection of slots from Playtech shares four progressive jackpots across its titles. For example, The Incredible Hulk slot has several features and a Marvel Jackpot Multi-Level Progressive game which can be triggered randomly and gives the player the chance to win the big prize, now exceeding €786,000 at the online casino. Each of these jackpots can burst at any time and it only takes a bit of luck to be the winner who claims the money.

For the first time in many years, the Scottish Premier League is highly contested and Aberdeen has a decent chance at winning the trophy. There are plenty of rounds left to play and Celtic usually holds its ground even against the most ambitious rivals, but for now only one point separates them. The reigning champions travel to Edinburgh to take on the local team, one struggling to score goals recently. The Home Pitch Disadvantage Under normal circumstances, playing in front of their fans was a huge advantage, but both Hearts and Celtic struggled at home in November. The reigning champions were unable to win a single match and it’s been more than two months since they managed to prevail at home. That’s why, they are probably not that concerned about the fact that they will play on the road against the injury ridden Hearts. They’ve had their fair share of problems caused by injuries, but recent results didn’t indicate the fact that these absentees were hurting their chances to win. The inevitable happened and Celtic was once again defeated at home, this time by Motherwell who scored twice in less than 10 minutes. Defending an early lead is going to be the top priority for the visiting team in Edinburgh. Key Players Missing for Hearts Hearts is expected to start this match prudently, despite the fact that they are playing in front of their fans. They were unable to score many goals recently and also had a hard time keeping clean sheets, a dangerous mix ahead of this fixture. Their backline is in shambles and with three of their key defenders still mending injuries, manager Neilsen will have to trust a makeshift formation. Juanma and Sow are capable strikers and they have scored a combined 14 goals this season, so they will once again feature up front.
Even the best things eventually come to an end, but Canadian players are still expected to miss the services offered by the one of the world’s largest betting exchange. Betfair's withdrawal from Canada was until recently a rumor, but it is now official that Canadian customers will be cut off starting on January 14, 2016. This is the result of the highly anticipated Paddy Power and Betfair merger, but luckily for fans of online gambling from Canada, there are worthy alternatives such as bet365 and 888. Less than One Month to Manage Active Positions Canadian players were officially notified that as of 14 January 2016 all the products currently offered by Betfair will be unavailable to residents of Canada. Players from this country will no longer be able to place new bets and all outstanding wagers will be canceled. In addition to having all gaming products blocked, Canadians will need to get in touch with customer support to cash out profits after the deadline. For the time being, they enjoy unrestricted access to their accounts and can bet on any of the games in their offer. The trick is that they need to be settled prior to January 14, so all open positions need to be managed to avoid unnecessary complications. Players are also advised to withdraw all the funds they’ve got in their account, and try to close all their long-term bets. Another One Bites the Dust Canadian players considered themselves lucky to be able to bet with the largest bookmakers, but they’ve lost two major operators in less than two years. Ladbrokes was the first to close its Canadian division and now Betfair follows suit, leaving dedicated players with fewer options. As a betting exchange, Betfair offered better than average odds and the user-friendly interface was much appreciated by both amateurs and professional punters.

Slots are certainly very popular on the internet and developers do their best to keep things fresh with new releases. However, some titles are more popular than others and when it comes to some of the most iconic slot machines on the internet, it is the users who determine which deserve the highly coveted spots on the list every day. This is something which can be seen at Tivoli Casino, which is powered by Microgaming, NetEnt and Play’n GO and has a category for Popular Slots where players are sure to find major titles. Microgaming Top Slots Thunderstruck II is easily one of the most popular slots created by Microgaming and not only is it one of the featured games at Tivoli Casino, but is also a contender for the best game in the collection. Its theme is based on Viking gods and presents the likes of Thor, Odin, Loki and Valkyrie as symbols and as modes for the bonus game. It has 243 ways to win and lives up to the hype with wilds, free spins and more. Also from Microgaming, the Immortal Romance slot has made quite a few players happy and continues to be a top choice for its theme based on vampires and features which can offer rewarding free spins with something extra. NetEnt Top Slots It should come as no surprise that the players at Tivoli Casino enjoy Starburst since this is a highly popular slot from NetEnt. It is flashy with all its jewels and stars but the main attraction is the fact that wild symbols can expand to take up the entire reel and then trigger a re-spin for free. Tornado Farm Escape is on the goofier side of things but still very popular as a tornado hits the farm and takes the animals for a ride. Its playful theme is joined by random wilds and a tornado feature that can collect symbols for better prizes.
