Casino Cautions: Lucky Trump and Magic Trump

CASINO CAUTIONS
Riding the crest of someone else's wave...
In an unregulated industry it appears that some operators, or perhaps *over zealous*
and undisciplined affiliates are confident that an "anything goes" mentality
is acceptable...it is not.
Such a case surfaced this week, we understand when a highly reputable and successful
online casino group found their good name being used on spam for lesser casinos
in the Trump Casino Group, believed connected with Slots Alley.com.
By using a recognised company name in the unsolicited spam title line, the spammer
tried to defeat filter settings against his far less reputable venue, and open
up his canned pork *newsletter* offerings. Adding insult to injury, and clearly
indicating deceitful intent, these fraudulent emails even directed unsubscribe
attempts to the reputable casinos unsubscribe page.
The fraudulently titled spam appeared to be part of a marketing drive launched
by the Lucky Trump and Magic Trump casinos in late November.
Outraged, the reputable casino group has fired a warning shot across Lucky Trump
Casino bows, along with the provider of its software, Casinova. The group has
additionally alerted the Gibraltar licensing authorities, where Lucky Trump alleges
it is registered.
Operators that pull this sort of stunt, or for that matter those that do not take
the strongest action against affiliates that do so are hardly portraying themselves
in an honest and trustworthy light, and the industry can well do without this
dishonest nonsense.
Player rolled at Luck 'n Roll
A cautionary tale appeared on Arnold Snyder's Blackjack Forum Online this week
in an investigative story by Radar O'Reilly, who warns readers to be cautious
around Slots Alley, Casino Onliner, and LuckNRoll.
The forum, which is run by professional gamblers and is making a name for itself
in addition to Snyder's much respected name, is becoming a popular venue for skilled
players.
Says Radar:
"The results we recorded on the Jacks or Better video poker at LuckNRoll
online casino were mathematically impossible on a fair game." He then produces
the mathematical analysis to support this assertion, which can be found under
the title "Getting Rolled at Luck 'N Roll" on the Blackjack Forum Online.com
site.
