Intertops Gives Indianapolis Colts Slight Edge Over New Orleans Saints as NFL Season Begins This Weekend

Date: Tue, Aug 31, 2010 Internet

World’s First Online Sportsbook Sending One Lucky NFL Bettor to Texas for Super Bowl XLV

As the final pre-season games conclude and the NFL season is about to begin, Intertops Sportsbook has posted odds favoring the Indianapolis Colts (+800) over last season’s champions the New Orleans Saints (+900) to take the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy. To add to the fall football festivities every dollar wagered on NFL games at Intertops Sportsbook (beginning September 9th and throughout the NFL season) earns one entry in a free contest that will see one lucky player win a luxury trip to Texas to experience the excitement of Super Bowl XLV first hand.

“The Saints have the momentum of last year’s Super Bowl win”, said an Intertops spokesperson, “But the Colts were14-2 last year and they’re starting this season with a deep receiving corps and a solid running duo. And with Peyton Manning at the helm and elite pass-rushing ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney strengthening their defense, the bookmakers just seem to think they’ll be the ones to go all the way this year.”

For those whose crystal ball doesn’t look quite that far into the future, Intertops is offering a weekly Free Pool Competition. Throughout the NFL regular season players that correctly predict the winners of the week’s action will get tokens worth up to $100.

“You’ve got nothing to lose,” said the Intertops spokesperson. “And who couldn’t use an extra hundred bucks in their account!?”

Intertops took the first online sports bet ever, fourteen years ago, and is still one of the most popular and trusted online sportsbooks around the world. From the beginning it’s been famous for specializing in US major league sports.

The comprehensive sportsbook offers a full range of NFL betting propositions including special group bets on which team from a group of five Contenders (Baltimore, New England, New York Jets, Atlanta, San Francisco), Pretenders (New York Giants, Pittsburgh, Miami, Houston, Philadelphia) Hopefuls (Cincinnati, Tennessee, Arizona, Washington, Denver) and Hopeless (Seattle, Carolina, Jacksonville, Kansas, Oakland) will have the most regular season wins.

The Colts (+400) are favoured over the San Diego Chargers (+500) and the New England Patriots (+600) to win the AFC Championship game. For the NFC Championship, Intertops likes New Orleans (+450) over the Dallas Cowboys (+500) and Green Bay Packers (+550).

The NFL season kicks off September 9th in New Orleans as the Saints meet the Minnesota Vikings. Super Bowl XLV will be played on February 6, 2011 pitting the champions of the AFC and the NFC against each other. The game will be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This will be only the third time it will be held in Texas.

All new customers at Intertops receive a 25% bonus on their first deposit. Beginning today and throughout the NFL season opener weekend (ending September 12th), everyone can receive another 20% deposit (up to $100). Details are on the Special Offers tab at www.Intertops.com/sportsbook.

All NFL odds quoted are as of today and are subject to change.

Online Slots Player Taking Wife on Dream Vacation with $96,466 Jackpot

Date: Tue, Aug 24, 2010 Internet

Leprechaun Luck slot machine one of 17 one-of-a-kind games at WinADayCasino.com

WinADayCasino.com had its second major jackpot winner of the summer when Glenn P. won $96,466 playing the new Leprechaun Luck slot machine last week. The winner, who’s been spinning the reels at WinADay practically since it was launched by Slotland.com, said he plans to take his wife on a dream vacation with his jackpot prize money.

“The first time I went to WinADay I thought, hmm, this is different. I’d played at a few online slots sites but I’d never seen anything like their unusual slot machines!” said Glenn P. “Then they just kept adding more new games so I just kept playing there. Who knew one day I’d hit a big jackpot like this!?”

All of the one-of-a-kind slots games at WinADayCasino.com are linked to one progressive jackpot which is why they increase in value so quickly. Although $96K is a nice win by anyone’s standards, it’s actually a little lower than the average jackpot win at WinADay which is about $150,000. The last big jackpot win was in June when a film student won over $200,000 playing the Jacks Show video poker game.



“Considering this player hit the jackpot playing Leprechaun Luck,” said WinADay manager Michael Hilary, “I hope he’s including Ireland on the big European vacation he told us he’d be taking with his winnings!”

Launched last St Patrick’s Day, Leprechaun Luck is a 5-reel, 31-payline slot machine adorned with shamrocks, rainbows and pots of gold. It features Wild and Double Wild symbols, a Cauldron bonus and an adventurous Bonus Game. Spinning five rainbows with a bet of at least $5 on the winning pay line, as Glenn P. did last week, wins the jackpot.

After adding a new European Roulette game, La Roulette, last month, WinADay now has 17 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker and roulette games. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

The jackpot was reset to $30,000 after this win and has been increasing quickly since then.

More Bang for Le Buck With Low Betting Option on WinADay's New European Roulette

Date: Wed, Aug 18, 2010 Internet

New La Roulette European Roulette at WinADay Gives Players an Edge

WinADayCasino’s new five-wheel roulette game, Roulette 5, has been so popular since it launched in April that the popular slots and video poker site has added another new Roulette game to its online casino games room. The new La Roulette has a “low bet” option that can give players more bang for le buck.

La Roulette is like Roulette 5 but since it is played by European Roulette rules, there is no double-zero like in American Roulette. Having only one zero gives a slight edge to players since each spin has a 1 in 37 chance of landing on any one number rather than 1 in 38.

With La Roulette’s new low betting option, players can place bets as low as $.10. On any spin, they can bet on one, two, three, four or all five wheels.



Until recently WinADayCasino.com offered only slots and video poker games. Since adding Roulette and Keno the online casino has noticed that its players sometimes like a change of pace.

“There’s no doubt that our players’ favourite games are slot machines like Vegas Mania, Slot-o-matic and the new Tropical Treat,” said WinADayCasino.com manager Michael Hilary, “but even players that usually stick with just one or two favourite slot machines seem to like taking a break from slots to play some Roulette or Keno once in awhile.”

To encourage players to try the new La Roulette, WinADayCasino is making two special offers. All players that play 10 or more rounds on La Roulette between August 19th and 25th will be automatically entered in a free bonus draw. Five randomly chosen players will each receive a $200 bonus and another five will each receive $100.

WinADayCasino.com wants to know what players think about the new game and is asking them to send their feedback on La Roulette to support@winadaycasino.com. The best five testimonials will also each receive $75 in their account.

This month WinADayCasino’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania slot machine. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a monthly draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

Liv Boeree -- Model, Astrophysicist and Poker Champ -- to Cut the Opening Ribbon at Poker in the Park

Date: Wed, Aug 18, 2010 Internet

$148,000 Jackpot Win Has Slotland Player Counting Her Lucky Stars

Date: Fri, Aug 13, 2010 Internet

After inching up slowly all summer, progressive jackpot reached highest in months

One of the oldest and most popular slot machines at one of the oldest and most popular online slots site has produced a $148,711 progressive jackpot winner. A player who only started spinning the reels at Slotland.com three years ago hit the massive jackpot playing the Lucky Stars slot machine.

“I’m so excited I can't think straight,” said the winner, known as SOUTHBELLE. “I’m sure not used to having that kind of spending money so I really don’t know what I’ll do with it! I’m terrible for spoiling my family. Can’t help it! So I’ll have some fun with this that’s for sure. First though, my brother has been going through some tough times lately so I’m going to help him with some of the bills that have piled up.”



Lucky Stars is a five-payline slot machine game giving five chances of winning. Each payline which has a bet placed on it can win. Its "Hold" feature appears randomly during play and there is a special bonus round multiplying all wins by 10. Although Lucky Stars is one of the oldest and most popular games at Slotland, it hasn’t had a big progressive jackpot winner since December 2007.

“People play a little less in the summer so the progressive hasn’t increased as fast as it has shot up a few times in the past,” said Slotland Manager Michael Hilary. “But it was worth waiting for I’d say! Last fall it was getting hit pretty well monthly so we weren’t seeing six-figure jackpots like this. We had a $168,476 winner in May but other than that this is our biggest win since last October.”

All of the slots at Slotland are tied to the same jackpot. Every time a player plays max bet on any of these games, some of the wager goes into the progressive jackpot pool. Hitting the right combination with a max bet placed wins the progressive jackpot. In Lucky Stars, a max bet is only $2. If five bars appear on a line with a $2 bet, the jackpot is won.

“I like playing Lucky Stars because there’s a bit of slots strategy involved,” said the winner. “When you get the ‘hold’ feature you have to decide whether or not to keep what you’ve got or take your chances on another spin. Bonus rounds multiply wins so if I feel like I’m close to hitting one I like to make sure I’m betting max to make the most of it.”

Slotland.com currently features 15 one-of-a-kind slot machines and video poker games. Four of the most popular games, including Lucky Starsd, are also available on mobile phones and PDAs. Slotland’s games do not require any downloading or installation as they are all instant play casino games. Some are now available in Flash format with improved graphics and sound.

The jackpot at Slotland was reset to $50,000 after this win. At Slotland’s sister casino WinADayCasino.com, whose games are accessible from the Slotland games lobby, the jackpot is currently over $85K.

Poker Players Can Buy-in for Less by Purchasing Credits at New Penny Auction Site

Date: Wed, Aug 11, 2010 Internet

Poker enthusiasts will be able to bid a little and win a lot at Bidibot.com

A brand new ‘penny auction’ site, Bidibot.com, for action hungry poker and casino players has been launched. Players will have a new way to get their hands on poker and casino credits and will give them a more cost efficient route to some top online poker tournaments by avoiding satellites. It’s the most sure-fire way to win, in poker, for less.

The concept is simple. Once at bidibot.com, players bid on auctions such as poker tournament packages, poker or casino chips and credit. Players can place as many bids as they like until the auction is over.

For example – let’s say a player is interested in $500 credit on Betfair Poker. They enter the auction, which starts at $0.00 with a countdown timer of approximately five minutes. Each bid in the auction is set at a fixed price of $0.01 and every time a bid is placed, 30 seconds is added to the countdown timer. When the timer hits 0, the last person to bid wins the auction item – so $500 credit on Betfair Poker can be theirs for as little as 1 cent.

Bidibot.com’s penny auction concept not only offers real value for money, it will provide online poker players with the kind of opportunities and packages that they are unable to access elsewhere at such discount costs.

John Tabatabai, CEO of Bidibot comments: “Just as eBay found a new way for people to access discount goods, bidibot.com has stripped away the financial barriers that prevent many poker players from developing their game and playing in higher stakes events.”

Keno Now Available at the Outlandishly Unique WinADay.com

Date: Thu, Jul 22, 2010 Internet

Online slots and video poker site now offers casino games Keno and Roulette

Known for its one-of-a-kind slots and video poker games, WinADay.com has introduced its own unique version of another casino classic, Keno. Keno is a straightforward, easy to play game of lucky numbers. The excitement builds in this amazing new game from the moment the dramatic, futuristic sound track starts to play on the multi-ticket game until the 20 winning numbers are dramatically displayed.

“For a long time, like our other site – Slotland.com – WinADay.com was all slot machines and video poker games. This is the second new casino game that we’ve added to WinADay,” said casino manager Michael Hilary. Many of our players play only slots but many have told us over the years that they also enjoy other casino games like Roulette and Keno.

This is the second game at WinADay.com that’s not a slot machine or video poker game. Roulette 5, which was introduced in April, combines slots and roulette.



Keno has come a long way since the ancient Chinese used pigeons to deliver Keno numbers to outlying villages. WinADay.com’s new online Keno is a sophisticated high tech game that’s simple to play. Players can pick their own 15 numbers or use the Quick Pick feature to let the game select for them. WinADay Keno players can play up to 7 tickets, or selections of numbers, per game. More numbers to watch means more fun. Any way it’s played, playing Kino is as simple as waiting for those numbers to come up.

For players that are new to Keno and want to get some practice before betting real money, WinADay Keno can be played in free mode or for real money.

WinADay has had to expand its casino games room to accommodate all of the new games that have been added this year. With the addition of the new Tropical Treat slot machine last month and now the new Keno, there are now 16 one-of-a-kind games at WinADay. There are nine slot machines, four video poker games and WinADay’s unique versions of two classic casino games. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

All of the online slot machines at WinADay.com are tied to a common progressive jackpot which is currently over $65,000. Just last month, a film student won $200,859, WinADay’s second largest progressive jackpot ever.
