At times it gets rather tedious checking out all your favorite online casino games and having to first complete a full registration + deposit. As fate would have it, I’ve been enjoying myself at Europa Casino – Europe’s premier online gaming destination. Take a look at this site for a second and you’ll see that it’s prestigious, sophisticated, charming and high class. Plus Europa offers players 100+ quality games to choose from. It’s powered by world-class Playtech software and offers a global network of players and huge progressive jackpots.

So what about flash gaming at Europa?

Ah! That’s the beauty of it – there’s plenty to go around. All it takes is a quick and easy registration – nothing to it – and then you’re free to play for free. I mean with the likes of Keno, BlackJack, Slots, Video Poker and even Roulette – you can’t go wrong. And the Europa RNGs (Random Number Generators) are audited regularly and 100% above board.

What gaming variants can you enjoy?

Remember, they’re all Playtech games so they’re all quality. Among the many varieties are table games, card games, multi-line slot games, single-line slots, progressive games, video poker and keno and more.

There’s only one place on the net where players can reach their true gaming potential. At JackpotCity Casino you’re a winner even before you’ve wagered a single cent of your hard-earned cash. That’s because JPC is all about rewards and incentives. And there are special bonus offers for players from the Philippines.

Imagine a place where you can get up to $500 in sign-up bonus cash. I was equally in shock when I discovered this top-tier promotional offer. You see JackpotCity Casino is to online gaming what Edison was to light-bulbs – it’s the benchmark against which all other casinos are measured. If you’re curious to know how it works, it’s really simple. JackpotCity will give you up to 100% back on your 1^st deposit. That’s a whopping $200 free. That’s part 1. Part 2 is equally generous – they’ll give you up to $300 in matching deposit bonus money.

There are many reasons why Jackpot City Online Casino can afford to be so generous. Chief among them are the following:

-The power of world-class Microgaming software behind a terrific casino platform.

-A massive variety of over 400 casino games to choose from including some of the hottest gaming titles in Marvel Slots games, Tom Raider, Thunderstruck and the inimitable Mega Moolah progressive slot.

-More jackpots, more often across multiple gaming categories including slots, video poker, roulette, blackjack, baccarat and craps.

-Games are available in a full download with all the specs and in a flash instant-gaming platform for your convenience.

-An incomparable loyalty rewards program and a socially responsible gaming operator.

I’ve always enjoyed playing at a winning online operator and JackpotCity certainly ranks among the finest of them all.

Philippines Gaming is Big Business

Brett — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:12:31 +0000

The island nation of the Philippines is a literal hive of online gambling activity. Such is the widespread interest in online gaming that hundreds of millions of dollars are wagered every year – and that’s a conservative estimate. All online gaming activity in the Philippines is regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation – otherwise known as PAGCOR.

There are a handful of folks in this nation of sporting pundits, casino high-rollers and gaming aficionados who see PAGCOR as an organization to be removed. Most of the opponents are in theocratic circles. The church’s bishops for example oppose an organized gambling body. For administrative purposes the government is taking full charge of the gaming administration through PAGCOR.

Community development initiatives thru PAGCOR

PAGCOR is also able to generate lots of money for the development of the Filipino industry and related sectors. With a large population – a large minority of them indigent – there is a lot of good work that tax revenue from gambling can do for socio-economic upliftment initiatives. Much of the money comes from the following sectors: sports betting, casino gaming revenue and sports betting exchanges.

There are many top-class online casinos operating for the benefit of Filipino clients and customers. These include the following: Lucky Nugget, Gaming Club, River Belle, Party Casino, King Neptunes and Royal Vegas. These are some of the most popular casinos and they offer competitive bonuses and exciting promotional offers.

Sportsbetting is where it’s at

But it’s not the online casinos where all the attention is being focused with Philippines gaming, it’s with sportsbooks. Punters are the bread and butter of the Philippines gaming industry. To this end there are a myriad of bets going on with sportsbooks especially with the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Bwin is the leading sportsbook among fans of this island nation as is Bet365.

Customers from the Philippines signing up for Bet365 are eligible for a $200 matching bonus. In addition there is live in-play betting which brings you the latest odds in real time. But better yet – because they can’t be there at the 2010 FIFA World Cup – they still get to see the action live and in play with live streaming television.

Casino Games: Blackjack and Beyond

Right now there is a great offer for $500 free for anyone who joins Jackpot City Casino. But that is not the only offer from this honest online casino, which always has a promotion at hand, nor is it the only reason to give it a click and a visit.

Here’s the deal:
I don’t remember exactly, but there was an offer of a different kind, until very recently, where the casino bonus for new sign-ups was $25 free, with no deposit required. The two are quite a choice, though perhaps not of King Solomon’s stature, but what would you like better – $25 no deposit or $500 matching bonus? One’s great in the short term, and one definitely plays out super in the longer run. Oh well. I’ll take $500 anytime.

Click Here to Claim Your Bonus!

But there’s more! Mac and PC friendly – I am typing this up n my Macbook Pro and received a friendly notice from Jackpot City inviting me to claim my $500 free bonus and enjoy games applicable for my Safari/Snow Leopard Mac computer. Sweet
All to say that the guy at JPC offer a lot for everybody. A lot in the sense of over 400 asino games. Everybody in the sense of blackjack fans and slots fanatics. And a prize total of over $4 million in progressives.
Plenty of good reasons for you to join Jackpot City – one of the top online casinos by any standard.

Progressive Jackpots

karen — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 03:23:08 +0000

If you’ve ever been to an online casino―and presumably you have since you’re reading this online gambling blog!―no doubt you’ve not failed to miss the flashy adverts for all the progressive slot machine games. Relatively speaking, progressive jackpots haven’t been around that long. The payouts of progressive slot machines are exactly that, progressive, meaning that they gradually grow as more and more bets are placed by players. The more bets that are placed, the higher the jackpot becomes. The beauty of the concept of progressive games is that there is no maximum upper limit on the size of jackpot. Progressive jackpots can (and do) easily reach millions of dollars. Back in 2007 one player hit the Cryptologic Millionaire’s Club jackpot when it stood at $5.9 million and I believe that this still might be the current world record. Prior to this hit, the world record for an online progressive slot game had been a touch under $3 million. It is certainly quite common to search through the online casinos sites such as Golden Casino and Jackpot City casino and see six figure jackpots and often as high as $2 to $3 million. And as more and more people turn to the internet and online gambling, the jackpots can only get bigger yet. So what are the odds of hitting a progressive jackpot? Pretty poor actually unsurprisingly at about 1 to over 1 million. But this is no reason not play. Just knowing about the very possibility of winning that type of life changing money, adds so much excitement to the game. Plus lower level payouts are more frequent and can provide hours of entertainment.

A Short History of Online Gambling in the Philippines

karen — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 11:25:33 +0000

I thought you might be interested in a short plotted history of the world of online gaming in the Philippines. The Philippines is known for being a leader in the online gambling industry so perhaps you’d like to know how it all began.

Online gambling has been legal in the Philippines since 2000 which is when the Philippines Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) became the only authorized gambling operator in the Philippines. PAGCOR is state owned and operated and runs casinos, bingo, sports betting and betting exchanges both online and through land based casinos. In 2000, PAGCOR authorized the Sports and Games Entertainment Corp to be the exclusive operator of the Philippines’ only online casino – www.sagecasino.com.

In 2001, the internet gaming industry was very nearly closed down by the President but had a lucky escape due to the his impeachment that year.

In 2002, the government opened the internet gaming industry to competition and granted a company called Philweb control of online casinos.

In March this year it was reported that the Philippines was looking to ban all online gambling except for horse racing, fantasy sports league game betting and those bets made for the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office lotto.

Anyone heard anything more about this?

News: Bishop protests against new casino

The new giant shopping mall project that has begun construction in the south of Manila has been denounced by Bishop Lucilius Quiambao as it is planned to include a casino. He has reportedly lodged an official objective on moral grounds. Nor does he think that gambling is the solution to the Philippines economic woes. The casino would, however, attract numerous tourists and create thousands of jobs to help boost the economy.
