NEW ONLINE CASINO AND POKER ROOMS OCTOBER 2005

Here is the latest online casinos and poker rooms - October 2005

www.mobile777.com
The Doloplex group's venture into m-gaming, powered by RTG in partnership with Phantom Fiber. Bright, professional looking site offering sterling denominated betting. Probably held through Doloplex and its stablemate created for a London listing, Crystal Gaming.com, the site offers full facilities including telephone support and is compatible with a wide range of wireless devices. Good choice of UK-oriented financial options. This m-gaming site joins the large Doloplex stable of online casino operations that inmcludes Crystal Palace Casino - the group is reportedly RTG's largest operator. A signup of GBP 10 is on offer.

www.9poker.com
Part of the recently re-branded Nine.com betting group which offers casino, sportsbook, racebook and skillgames gambling in addition to poker. The software is LVFH and the network Action Poker. Good range of financial instruments, and the usual attractive range of Action poker games. 24/7 full Support and a Kahnawake license. The site is workmanlike but plain.

www.irishpokertable.com
Another Action Poker (LVFH software) network casino with a good selection of poker games that includes some niche material not found elsewhere. A BJ is included in the package. The site is average but acceptable and has full Support and e-cash facilities. The owner is Tropical Poker (Europe) Limited which is a partnership involving ADLM (Avi Goldman of Windows fame) and a BVI registered entity called eMoney Invest. Goldman uses his own Poker Profit Network branding, has his own promos and claims a Kahnawake licence. There is also a non-linking IGC logo on the site which could be misleading. The site claims to have 45 000 players.....

See above - this is another Action - LVFH poker site operated by ADLM and partners...and it has the same non-linking IGC logo. Well presented site with all necessary facilities and a good choice of games.

www.redbet.com
Poker site for the Sweden-UK group of the same name which offers betting exchange (3 percent rake) activity over a selection of casino, sportsbook and now poker operations. The company has a UK bookie licence and was founded in 2002 by two Swedes, although it didn't go operationally online until 2004. The software is B2B which is owned by Unibet and 24hrpoker in Sweden and offers a Swedish oriented poker network.Other sites on the network include Unibet, 24hrpoker, Bet24, no1poker, Visiongame, Royalcardroom and Irisheyespoker.

www.acrossthefelt.com
More Action Poker - LVFH activity on this site, which sports an Antiguan and a Kahnawake license and full support and financial services. The site is well executed and has good, comprehensive content along with several promos and tourneys. 25 percent signup is available.

www.fireandicecasino.com
A new operation from Odds On, which may be under pressure as a result of the recent decision by English Harbour group to go with their own Vegas Technology gambling software. This casino has wagering in GBP, dollars and Euros on a total of 65 games which include 30 slots and 6 progressives. The Wizard of Odds, Mike Shackleton certifies the games for them. e-Cash is via Virtual Exchange as usual with this provider and has options like Neteller, and there is a loyalty program. Although there is an Antiguan licensing logo it does not link, and Support is accessed only by an on-site panel - no phones or email addresses which is a minus. The signup is a sensible $50.

www.wildjackmobilecasino.com
Coming soon from Spin3 and Microgaming - their third m-casino operation. The operation has full facilities and is owned by Wild Jack Casino, a member of the eCOGRA certified Jackpot Factory group. There are 6 classic casino games to high quality levels.

www.cantorcasino.com

Interesting line of business for the New York investment company Cantor Fitzgerald - they aim to use this online casino to launch a white label online casino venture, although the opportunity will not be offered to U.S. customers and the target market will at least initially be to users of sports and spread betting sites. The casino is average in quality but has the right services and uses software from Gaming and Entertainment Group (GMEI) The COO, Tom Kenney says that the firm may move into operating online casinos for a range of major consumer-facing companies, too. Cantor is licensed in Alderney.

www.luckytornadocasino.com
Mediocre new operation from Casinova software with a GIbraltar license. Offering a 200 percent signup and on each Neteller deposit with a WT of x25! This seems to be a sister for Slots Alley and Magic Trumps. This group does not have a good rep.

www.stackspoker.com
Reportedly using proprietary software but this has not been confirmed. The site is owned by CTT Group Enterprises AVV and is registered in Oranjestad, Aruba. The site has all facilities and is well executed - it has been accepted for the Bluff Magazine Poker Tour - was recently still in Beta testing, but launch is apparently imminent.

www.matchbook.com
New betting exchange site with a 2 percent rake policy.

www.pokermetro.com
Very nice site with good content and operating on MGS software through the Prima network. The licensing is Kahnawake and there are full services and facilities, backed by comprehensive financial arrangements and a selection of promos and tournament activity. $50 signup.

www.greentiepoker.com
Strong male theme with the emphasis on girls and gadgets, together with poker and magazine content. The software is Excapsa, and the operation joins that network with the likes of Ultimate Bet. Average site, but it has all the trimmings.

www.aspinallsmobileonline.com
Carrying the famous Aspinall gambling brand into m-gaming is this new site powered by Phantom Fiber. Like the online casino and poker operations this site is managed by Golden Palace, which has launched its own mobile casino using Phantom, too.

www.uk-roulette.co.uk
80 game, Real Time Gaming powered online casino focused on the British market. Good financial arrangements through Aquapay - Aquagaming in the UK and NatWest Bank. The site is well done with a loyalty program, fully contactable Support and a range of promos and bonuses. The signup is 100 percent maxed at GBP 100 with a x20 d+b.

www.titanpoker.com
Very cool looking poker room from Playtech, which joins their iPoker network. The site is very well done with excellent content and comes in English, German, Italian, French and Spanish language versions. Round-the-clock Support, loyalty programs, plenty of promo and tourney action and jackpots up to $25 000 are backed by a wide range of financial possibilities for the players. Weekly $1000 free-rolls. The signup is 100 percent up to a max of $500.

www.goldenloungecasino.com
Ordinary looking online casino powered by Grand Virtual and in 18 language variations. Minimal services and facilities but adequate.

www.golddelightcasino.com
Flash technology from GamblingBuilders powers this very basic online casino operation with 8 low quality games. The financial options include many of the eGold genre. English and Russian language, and the Support looked a little rock with poor communications.

www.fairpoker.com
Joining the iPoker network is this Playtech-powered poker site. Well presented and furnished with a full range of services and facilities.

www.vcpoker.com
Another Tribeca Tables network operation powered by that company. It's a good but otherwise unremarkable site that offers players a full palette of services.

www.victoriaspoker.com

Now using software from Multinet.

www.livepalace.com
This is the sixteenth (maybe seventeenth) licensee of a "live over the Internet" casino to go with Casino Web Cam. The owners are reportedly a group of Toronto businessmen, and e-cash is via Secure Processing Ltd in the UK, with a wide choice of instruments. The casino receives broadcasts via the Internet on the full range of games from CWC's Costa Rican studios.

www.betdirect.com
Owned by a UK sportsbook group Sportech (Littlewoods et al) this is their first mobile casino, put together for them by a combo of Boss Media and the British company Mfuse. This could lead to significant follow-on business as Mfuse is also in talks with Sporting Index and Blue Square.

www.casinolastminute.com
Offshoot of the British dotcom Last Minute.com, this is a Malta licensed online casino with software from WorldMatch (an Italian company) It is quite unremarkable.

www.hammerscasino.com
New Playtech powered online casino built for the West Ham United football club in the UK. It has a range of 70 of the latest Playtech games, a professional if rather unimaginative design and full range of services. Early sign-ups are being offered generous matching bonuses of up to GBP 200.

Expekt, the Swedish group has left Prima network and changed software to Swedish software company Tain.

English Harbour group has announced that is changing from Odds On software to its own proprietary platform branded Vegas Technology.

BetInternet (mid-sized sportsbook operation) is to launch an online casino soon using RTG software.

Tribeca Tables and Phantom Fiber have signed a 5 year collaborative agreement to develop a wireless poker platform.

Bet On Sports has chosen RTG to power its revamped casino operations due to launch this month. BoS has also engaged Tribeca Tables as its poker and network provider.
