CORE Gaming has announced the release of its revolutionary new slot game, Jackpotz, an HTML5 creation that offers a whopping seven progressive jackpots and six-figure pay-out - an industry first. Jackpotz is available to play exclusively at Sky Vegas Casino, and will release at other CORE Gaming casinos in the future. About the Game Jackpotz is a 3-reel, 5-line slot; its appeal lies in the simplicity of the game and the magnitude of the jackpots. Players can enjoy the game’s sharp graphics and visuals, as well as its smooth interface on both desktop and mobile. Special features include Wilds and Mega Streak, a series of Win Spins which awards between 4 and 20 free spins. The Mega Streak is triggered when the Mega Streak symbols land on reel 3 in the center payline. And of course, the masterpiece of the game is its seven progressive pots, which come into play when the on-screen game logo randomly lights up and the Jackpotz Trigger is released. Once this happens, players can win at least one of the jackpots, or a consolation prize - so either way, they go home with something. The prize the player wins is determined when the reels come to a halt. If a jackpot has been won, it will automatically reset to its seeded amount. Chief Commercial Officer of CORE Gaming, Mark Rehorst-Smith, commented, “This is just the kind of game that we believe slots fans will love. The beauty of Jackpotz is that it combines the simplest of slots games with the innovation and excitement of the seven progressive pots, from which players can grab huge prizes.” About CORE Gaming CORE Gaming is a UK-based online gaming software developer and a world leader in HTML5 gambling content. Since its launch in 2011, the company has created over 150 casino games. CORE Gaming is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.

That is it...Matchday 38 is upon us and although we already know that Leicester made history; most likely the biggest piece of sports history of all time, there are a few huge matchups between the "Super Clubs" that cannot be overlooked. The match of the night is between the Reds and the Blues at Anfield and it should be a great game. Both teams have not had the league season that they had thought, or wanted to have this year, but tonight's game is for bragging rights and they will both be coming to win. Liverpool is in 8th place on the Premier League table and has gotten more consistent under Jurgen Klopp. The real success of this club has been in the Europa League, in which they qualified for the final where they will play Sevilla for the cup and a chance to make the Champions League next season. As of now, the Reds are not in the Champions League next year and making it back to the biggest European competition is very important to Klopp in his first season at the helm. Chelsea is just one spot behind Liverpool in 9th place, but there is ten points between them. The Blues did not have the season they wanted at all and have lost what should have been some easy games over the course of the year. They will be looking to make some drastic changes in the offseason and they could be back next year with a revamped squad and new head coach. Last time to bet on the Premier League It is down to only a few games left for punters to bet on in the English league. Tonight, bet365 Sports has already posted some very attractive odds in favor of Liverpool at 2.00, while Chelsea is at 3.80 for outright winner but there are dozens of additional props bets to choose from.
iSoftBet has secured a new distribution deal that will give the casino software developer access to a larger playing audience. From May 2016, iSoftBet will embark on a strategic partnership with fellow casino software company Merkur Interactive Services. Moving forward, Merkur will integrate the entirety of iSoftBet’s online gaming suite within that of its own. As a result, Merkur will be able to provide an even larger selection of online slots and table games. In addition, iSoftBet will provide access to its Game Aggregation Platform, thereby including third-party gaming content. New Slot Content for Merkur Owned by the Gauselmann Group, Merkur will use the partnership as an opportunity to provide new slot content to UK and Spanish online gambling markets. For added benefit, many of iSoftBet’s leading slot games are also compatible on smartphones and tablets. These include original creations like Mega Boy, Astro Magic, Bewitched, Diamond Wild, and Happy Birds. Beyond its original content, iSoftBet has sought licensing deals to develop video slots that are officially based on Hollywood entertainment properties. Thus far, branded iSoftBet slots have been comprised of 24, Nacho Libre, Platoon, Rambo, the Warriors, the Love Guru, and Basic Instinct, among a few others. Getting to table games, iSoftBet is predominantly focused on blackjack and roulette, but the same can be said for most developers. Alongside a few variants of each, players will also get punto banco and joker poker. Strategic Benefits Following the deal, iSoftBet head of sales Luci Apostolou said that it was a major highlight in the company’s year. In the future, Apostolou also said the company would seek to combine gaming and casino knowledge within the partnership. Meanwhile, Merkur Interactive Services CEO Bernd Henning cited the growing reputation of iSoftBet as an incentive for striking the agreement. Henning also said it would benefit Merkur to expand its presence in regulated markets like the UK and Spain with the help of iSoftBet.
He is back! The NBA MVP and arguably the best shooter in the history of the game, Steph Curry scored 40 points in the Game 4 victory against the Blazers, but it took them until overtime to finish the job. The Blazers have been a problem for the Warriors in this series, but the Warriors managed to win two games without Curry and after the 132-125 win on Monday Night, the Warriors are definitely happy to have him back. The Blazers will need to overcome a healthy Steph Curry and they will need to overcome the Warriors' home court advantage, which has been impossible for most teams in the league over the last couple of years. Curry has made this team into a winner and he does it with modesty. He was happier than anyone else to be back on the court screaming, "I'm Back, I'm Back," after hitting a couple of three's in overtime. He scored a record 17 points in overtime to put the nail in the Blazers' Game 4 coffin and even with his knee sprain still making his play a bit less comfortable, Curry led his team to a crucial win in style. The Blazers looked great over the first two quarters, actually outscoring the Warriors and leading at half time. Damian Lillard finished with 36 points and 10 assists for the Blazers, but it wasn't enough to get the job done. Now, with the Blazers one loss away from finishing their championship run, it is up to them to make the impossible a reality and win at Golden State. NBA Playoffs Online Betting bet365 Sports is your home for NBA playoff betting and the UK sportsbook is offering incredible pre game and live in play betting markets for punters eager to get in on the action. The Warriors are favorites to win, but the Blazers will be giving it their all and could pull out the unimaginable. Punters that place a bet on the Blazers will be paid out extremely well if they win and those that play it safe will win modest cash from bet365 on the Warriors.
Hull’s brief love affair with the Premier League ended badly, as the team failed to survive for consecutive seasons in the first division. They were eventually relegated to the Championship and are now trying to return among the elite English teams. Derby is blocking their way and even though the visitors have the first chance overall, the outcome of the first leg could be decisive. Promising Results for the Home Side Derby has an abysmal overall record against Hull, but this season they managed to win both games on home and on the road. This means a great deal ahead of this fixture, because confidence is at its highest and the home side will be aiming for all three points. With both squads having an excellent home record, it is imperative for Derby not to settle for a draw because the second leg promises to be tough. After winning four consecutive games in early April, Derby sunk into near irrelevance and failed to win any of the last three games. That’s why they are in the playoffs for the first place, but they can change their fortunes if they win the first leg. That’s why manager Wassall will be using an aggressive starting formation with three strikers and will try to exercise constant pressure on the visiting team. Too Little Too Late for Hull The visitors are the team in better form, but the late-season surge was not enough to compensate for the dismal performance in February and March. They had a shot at qualifying directly, but the long winless streak sent them here to the playoffs. The visitors will be trying to solve the matter of qualification in the second leg and that’s why they will be defending at iPro Stadium. bet365 Sports offers great odds of 4/5 on a home win while also returning the stakes if the match ends undecided. The Draw no Bet is a great choice for risk-averse punters who are frightened by Hull’s recent form, but still trust Derby.

Whereas the US Dollar used to reign supreme as the most popular currency in the world of online casinos, a new team of researchers from KeyToCasino has found that the Euro has now usurped the US Dollar’s role as the most commonly offered currency. History of Online Casino Currencies Before 2006, almost every internet casino in existence offered the option to make deposits in US Dollars and to have US Dollar player accounts. But then, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was passed in the United States, which prohibited operators from accepting deposits made by US players. Understandably, most operators complied, and stopped accepting US customers. Still, many sites still offered the US Dollar option; in fact, as recently as 2014, almost 90 percent of online casinos allowed US Dollar accounts; however, over the past two years, that number has dropped to less than 75 percent, while the Euro has peaked at 78 percent. Why the Drop in the Dollar’s Popularity and the Increase in Euro’s Popularity? Garret Walker, a researcher from KeyToCasino, commented that the Euro’s popularity is due mainly to the fact that online casino operators are targeting the European market more than the US market. This too, is surely due to the UIGEA, which effectively shut Americans off from the online gambling world, forcing them to go to offshore, illegal sites if they wished to gamble online. It also made operators turn away from them as potential players, since the operators themselves did not want to incur fines or penalties. Today, a number of states have legalized online gambling in America, and it seems likely that more will follow, which means that operators may turn their focus back to the States and bring back the Dollar option. But it has not yet happened. Another reason for the Euro’s popularity is the simple fact that more and more European countries are adopting the Euro, so online casinos are making sure that their players can deposit conveniently. Other Currency Trends The top five currencies in the online casino world are the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound, Australian Dollar and Canadian Dollar. Notably absent from this list are the Chinese Yuan and the Japanese Yen; while both of these are countries have large populations and strong currencies, online casinos are not very popular there. The top five currencies that are more common now than they were in 2014 are the Euro, Russian Rouble, South African Rand, Norwegian Krone, South Korean Won. The top five currencies that are popular, but less common today than they were two years ago, are the US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Swiss Franc, British Pound and Danish Krone. About the Research This research offers a snapshot of the current situation of currencies in the online gambling world, but these facts often change due to the economic, legal and political realities of each particular country, and the global community at large. The research was led by Olena Prachenko of KeyToCasino and was carried out by the KeyToCasino research team, a group dedicated to studying the online casino industry and which has published a number of related reports in the past.

Just like previous years, The BiG Foundation will once again organize the BiG Sports Dinner in Malta. The 2016 edition will be held at the InterContinental 5 Star Hotel, on the 16th of November, with the event being tied to the SiGMA poker tournament and welcome drinks session. The event is still the only sports dinner held in the Gambling Industry, with numerous worthy causes and charities being helped with each new edition. The BiG Sports Dinner has contributed to causes like the Malta Community Chest Fund, Restart Rugby or Reaching Out to name a few. It has managed to get a lot of attention from sponsors, both local and international with organizers suggesting that this year’s event will boast the biggest attendance as well as the most proceeds. While the event has always been attended by all major players in the industry important personalities from Malta will also be there, including the President of the country, H.E. Mary Louise Coleiro Preca. BiG’s founder, Richard Hogg seemed to share the organizer’s enthusiasm, declaring that this year’s event is expected to break all of last year’s impressive records. He also declared that SiGMA is an “enthusiastic partner” which will undoubtedly help make the event a resounding success. Eman Pulis, Managing Director at SiGMA also declared that the financial support the BiG Foundation has managed to secure for numerous charities is quite impressive. He mentioned the Malta Community Chest Fund as a beneficiary of the event as well as Restart Rugby, a cause that strikes close to home for Pulis, a former athelete himself who understands the challenges of ending a top-level career prematurely.
