NEW ONLINE CASINOS & GAMBLING SITES DECEMBER 2005
Christmas or now - new online casinos and gambling sites have opened up for business.
Red Lounge Casino
Owned and operated (and powered) by the Kismet gambling software company, this is a well presented site dealing in Euro/Dollar/GBP currencies and with a suite of average Kismet games (this software is getting a bit long in the tooth now) The RNG is certified by GGS. Appears to be targeted on mainly UK gamblers, with Delta, Switch, Solo and Neteller financial options. Licensing is Netherlands Antilles and there's a generous affiliate program offering 40 percent commissions. 24/7 Support. There are an extraordinary range of bonuses on offer including a losers' refund for a limited time and 10 percent bonuses on all winnings, losses and per month on deposits!
Casino Silver
Powered by Parlay Entertainment, this very basic site is unlikely to offer much competition - it's 80 games are way behind the quality levels of the industry software leaders although Parlay do use TSDT to certify their RNG. There is a marked lack of upfront information, 24/7 Support and a matchplay bonus on signups. Financial options include Neteller, ePassport and PPATM.
Hibet.ru/eng
Russian owned site operated by Terra Fortuna.ru in Moscow and powered by a software unfamiliar to us called Betline, which has 16 average quality games embracing the usual casino favourites. The license is from the Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Russian Federation issued on November 2004. 24/7 Support in English and Russian - the site comes in both language variants.
Hot Pepper Casino
Very professional, well-executed site with all facilities including 24/7 Support, an Antigua license and a loyalty club. The 25 game download software is from Odds On, with a Mike Shackleton certification of fair gaming on the site. The operator is the Hot Pepper Gaming Group, which is offering $50 bonus on $50 deposits. Neteller, Firepay and Moneybookers are available through Virtual Exchange.
Road House Reels
Mainly slots site (check out the exclusive Jane Blonde 5 reeler and MegaSpin capability) owned by the Lake Palace group and powered by Microgaming. The presentation is good, conveying a 'Fifties Roadhouse theme in a fun style. The licensing is Kahnawake. All the usual facilities and a wide range of financial options including Neteller, Usemybank, Payspark, eCheck, Citadel, Firepay, Delta and Switch. Matchplay signup maxed at $100 and others.
Royal Sweet Casino
Unusual name for this RTG powered online casino with a rather uninteresting layout and design but a quality gambling suite of over a 100 games that includes 9 progressives. Fully contactable Support, loyalty program and a range of financial choices that includes Neteller, Instadebit, Everyday and Click2Pay. The signup is 100 percent maxed at $150 with a x15 D+B W/T. This is a Play United sub-license that was originally held by the Platinum Games company. It was taken over in February 2005 by the quaintly named Dead Money Society.com headed by Michael Creighton. DMS has an eclectic mix in its portfolio including a travel agency and a company that sells poker chips on eBay called Allin Poker Chips.
Ladys Casino
Note the deliberate misspelling. Playtech powered and as the name suggests a very female-targeted online casino site carrying the usual facilities and Playtech's big gambling suite, all under an Antiguan license. The heavily pink design is well done with feminine community-style sections such as horoscopes, news, money management, Hunk of the Month and Women's Resources.
Casino 770
Nicely presented French language site powered by FastCPU-Externet Flash software, with average quality games. Licensing is Belize, there's 24/7 Support and Moneybookers and Neteller finances. The banking is done through Coaldale Enterprises in Cyprus. It's a sister site to Casino-Partouche.
Casino Room
Just launched by the powerful Ongame - Poker Room group (and as a side note Ongame is about to be takenm over by Bet And Win, an Austrian public company) this is part of a strategy to offer a diversity of gambling offerings to players.
Card games such as Black Jack, Caribbean Pirate Poker, Pai Gow Poker and Baccarat are available as well as table games such as Roulette and Craps. In the Slots and Video Poker area gamblers can play classical games such as Deuces Wild and Fruits Slots alongside slot games like the progressive jackpot slot Sultan's Treasure featuring an initial jackpot value of $300,000. Through CasinoRoom.com players will also receive free access to an increasing range of revolutionary mobile games such Mobile Fruit Slots, Mobile Black Jack and also, courtesy of PokerRoom.com, Mobile Poker - all three playable either just for fun or for real money.

CasinoRoom.com members will benefit from a bonus and promotions program that goes hand-in-hand with already established offers on PokerRoom.com. The site has an easy-to-use interface and there is no download requirement. Players simply log on, look up their favourite game and launch the games through a secure Java application similar to the one used on PokerRoom.com.
