NEW ONLINE CASINOS AUGUST 2006
Dashcasino.com
The highly regarded 32Red / Trafalgar Gaming plc online gambling group out of Gibraltar has launched its latest offering, a slick new Microgaming-powered online casino branded Dash Casino.com. With a simple but elegant and easy to use layout, fully contactable Support that operates 24/7 and the new QuickCash simplified bonusing system the new operation is already displaying the expertise of the Ed Ware management team, which incidentally is fully identified on the site with individual biographies. Sister casino 32 Red.com has built up a substantial following of players who appreciate the personal attention and efficient operational conduct at which this group excels, and Dash comes from the same positive mould. It is also linked to 32 Red's poker operation and the BetDirect sportsbook facilities, giving visitors access to a range of reputable venues. The quality Flash and Download gambling suite from Microgaming is predictably very large and varied, offering something for all gambling tastes, and a wide range of financial options in Euro, Sterling and Dollar currencies is available. The welcome bonus is a GBP 50.

New, well funded and managed, "big" online casinos have become something of a rarity these days, but this week saw the launch of Grand Monaco Casino.com, a Microgaming-powered property owned by a partnership called Grand Gaming Group and licensed in Kahnawake. As you might expect with a new venue coming from the studios of one of the industry's top providers this online casino has all the bells and whistles, including the much-discussed EZ Bonus system which, so they say, is designed to take the pain out of bonus hunting!
It's nice to see upfront identification a la 32Red of manager Frank Thompson and general manager Lou Kelmanson who have together amassed a wealth of online casino management experience with major groups like Fortune Lounge. Kelmanson was well thought of as the manager for poker operations at Royal Vegas until his departure to pursue his own business interests last year.
The new operation has a Flash and download gambling suite of some 250 top quality and latest technology games, backed by fully contactable, round-the-clock Support and a large selection of financial options through Proc-Cyber. The presentation is highly professional and the site carries Playcheck, Cashcheck, a G3 Rewards Club and is currently recruiting experienced affiliates to boost its own marketing efforts, which we're told are well funded.
Introductory bonuses are on offer involving matchplays maxed at $150 or $75 depending on which games are played, but readers are advised to study carefully the intricacies of the bonus T&Cs in particular.

The owners of the latest online casino to be launched with Realtime Gaming software seem to have done a lot of research before putting the site together, and the result at VIP Lounge Casino.com bears witness to their diligence.
The presentation of the theme successfully conveys an ambience of luxury, opulence, elegance and class and is very professionally executed on a site that has plenty of upfront information and is easy to navigate.
Taking a leaf out of 32Red's book, the management and ownership is clearly identify with contact addresses. Manager Christopher diAngelo reports to the British owners Weststar Accounting Limited of Shirley, Southampton and general manager William McNamara.
The loyalty program is creatively structured around three levels of membership - VIP, Hi Roller and Jetsetter - each with escalating incentives for players. On the signup front there's a 200 percent signup bonus, and that is augmented with a 20 percent reload bonus and several promotions and draws that will help to retain players.
Adding interest is an unusual (for online gambling) section which enhances the theme by looking at lifestyle choices for the rich and famous like private jets, exotic cars, mansions and holiday homes, jewellery, travel and private boats - an eye-catching and interesting addition.
The main attraction will be the download games - a very large gambling suite for all tastes from Realtime Gaming which features all the latest offerings from the company and 10 big win progressives. These are all accessible through a games preview panel that is well designed and easy to use.
Players will also find a wide choice of financial instruments through which they can deposit and withdraw including Neteller Instacash.
This is one of the classiest sites we've seen for some time, and the upfront attitude of the ownership and management bodes well for future success.

The start of a new trend in internet poker?
Back in late June the advent of "live over the internet" poker using Webcam technology was announced by Pharaoh's Poker Palace.com, with Beta testing which was followed by operational activity, and it now appears there will be some competition in this new Internet gambling niche: JNQ Global Inc. has announced an August launch for their equivalent product.
JNQ Global Inc. is a Panamanian company operating in Costa Rica. It uses proprietary software developed over the past nine months, and was formed by investors in 2006 for the purposes of developing and operating JacksNQueens.com. The new site will feature conventional Internet poker tables and Webcam, a different take on "live over the internet" poker, too.
The management feel that the use of Webcam as opposed to videostreaming, takes the technology out of the usual patent hassles associated with "live over the Internet" operating. The site is multi-lingual and marketing is through US-based Knightsbridge Marketing.

Top professional player and certified “Bad Boy” Tony G has entered the online poker business, launching his own online poker room at TonyGPoker.com with a Malta license. Like Tony, the new site is brash, in-your-face, and full of attitude.
Tony G is one of the most recognisable and outspoken stars on the poker circuit, and he has set about creating an online poker room with attitude, for people that want to play like he does – straightforward, no-nonsense action.
The new site features games like Texas Hold'Em, Omaha, Omaha High-Low Split, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud High-Low (8), Razz, 2-7 Triple-Draw Lowball and Dealer's Choice. The site claims that the software is proprietary but it looks very much like a tweaked Cyberarts-Mansion Poker product to us. There's a 200 percent signup maxed at $400 , and financial choices include Neteller Instacash and Firepay.
