KING SOLOMONS BUYS WINDOWS ONLINE CASINO GROUP
But these acts need cleaning up
The Real Time Gaming powered King Solomons online casino group, which includes the King Solomans Online Casino, Geisha Lounge Online Caisno and Grand Aces Online Casino with affiliates mustered through Wager Junction has announced the acquisition of Tony Friedman's Windows Online Casino Group, whose portfolio includes the Windows Casino and online casinos such as Gold Key, Portofino Casino and Magic Oasis Online Casino.
No details of the consideration paid for the new acquisitions were given.
The move will need to be accompanied with some spring cleaning if the player community is to regard the enlarged group as credible; there have been numerous incidents involving these online casinos and the supporting e-gaming commission, and rogue status has been given on some watchdog sites.
Among recent sins has been the display of the eCOGRA seal by Magic Gold Casino when this operation had not even applied for the initial inspections. Recent rumours have also suggested that payout percentages certification may be outsourced to the OPA (Online Players Association), which does not enjoy wide professional acceptance.
First established in 1998, King Solomons will now place all the products of the new conglomerate under the same management policies and standards as the rest of the group. According to marketing manager Keren Fuchs King Solomans group now owns and operates 10 different online casino brands alongside several online Bingo and multiplayer poker brands
