			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you are a player at a Microgaming online casino, there is good news. The popular gambling software designer is launching two new online slots next week. The slots will be available at a large number of casinos that carry games licensed by Micromgaming.</p>
<p>One of the new games is called The Grand Journey. The name seems to refer to some journey back in time, because the game features prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs and saber-toothed tigers. The new online slot has the background of an ancient jungle, brought to life with lush graphics and bright colors. The game has a number of bonuses, such as the free spin bonus that is awarded when three or more scatter symbols appear on the reels.</p>
<p>The other new game is called Megaspin Break da Bank Again. Yes, that is probably the worst name in history for an online slot. The name has a purpose. There is already a popular Microgaming slot called Break da Bank Again, which is an online slot with a bank heist theme, featuring symbols of the bank vault, stacks of gold and more. The Megaspin Break da Bank Again slot is an enhancement on the last slot.</p>
<p>According to the press release from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microgaming" target="_blank"><strong>Microgaming</strong></a>, the Megaspin version of the game has a 9-line enhancement. The game “multiplies the action by 4 times” and provides players with more free spins, multipliers and other bonuses than ever before. Players can win between 15 and 225 free spins and on all free spins (including the 225), winnings are multiplied by five. It is those generous bonuses that make Megaspin Break da Bank Again special.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>As we have written before, online casinos offer you online slots that you can play for free. A good listing of the many slots that you can play for free can be found at <a href="http://www.freeslotsweb.com/online/games/" target="_blank"><strong>http://www.freeslotsweb.com/online/games/</strong></a>. The question many people have is, how does it work? And why do the casinos offer the games for free?</p>
<p>The second question is the easiest to answer. Offering things for free is a great promotional strategy for any business, including online casinos. By offering the product for free, you are more likely to try it. Once you decide that you like it, you are more likely to pay for the real thing. Though it’s a terrible analogy, even drug dealers see the value of free samples. The casinos offer free slots because they entice people to play, which entices them to become members.</p>
<p>Now, how do they work? There are a few different ways. In many cases, you first have to sign up at the online casino to play the free slots. You are then able to download the software for the slots. You are given “credits” that have no real value and you use those credits for wagering on the slots. As you win and lose credits, your fake account increases and decreases. You are not able to cash out, since the money has no real value and if you run out of credits, you can simply start over with more.</p>
<p>In other cases, you do not need to register for an account first. The casino allows you to play using streaming software, which allows you to play the slots within your browser. Sometimes casino directory websites will have free slots embedded in them, which lets you play for free without ever registering or even visiting an online casino.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>One of the great things about the Internet is the ability to play casino games for free. There are reputable websites online where you can <a href="http://www.gambling101.org/slots" target="_blank"><strong>play slots free</strong></a> without downloading anything or even registering. Try walking into a brick and mortar casino in Las Vegas and playing for free. I’m pretty sure you will be thrown out.</p>
<p>Online casinos offer free versions of their slots so you can get used to playing the game before you risk your money. By playing for free first, you learn how the game is played, what bonuses are available, how to play the second-screen bonus game and more. In addition to being able to play those free slots at the online casino itself, the casinos allow other third-party sites to carry the game as well. There are many sites where you can play a streaming embedded version of the game for free. The best part is that you can play without even registering for any casino, so you can play the game without sharing any of your information. If you are new to the idea of gambling online, this can be a good way to ease into it and begin to trust the casino industry.</p>
<p>The free slots are also a good way to sample lots of different slots to find out which you like best. With so many different online slots on the market, it can be difficult and expensive to find your favorites. By playing the free versions first, you are able to try a lot of them risk-free and decide where you want to spend your money.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>An online casino is only as good as its software. After all, it doesn’t matter what bonuses they offer, how good the customer service is, and how good they made the homepage look if the games aren’t safe, fair and fun. One of the best software developers in the industry is Realtime Gaming.</p>
<p>Realtime Gaming, which also goes by the acronym RTG, was one of the pioneers of the online casino industry. The company got its start in 1998, when your average person still didn’t have Internet access at home. As a founder of the software industry, they got in on the ground floor, helped establish the quality expectations and made a name for themselves.</p>
<p>Of all the major software designers in the online casino industry, Realtime Gaming is the only one to be founded in the United States. The company was started in Atlanta, Georgia, though currently most of their operations are in Costa Rica. While many software companies have pulled out of the American market after UIGEA and then Black Friday, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realtime_Gaming" target="_blank"><strong>RTG</strong></a> still accepts customers from the United States.</p>
<p>All RTG software is tested and certified for fairness by TST Global and other groups. They are considered the gold standard for player safety and satisfaction. One thing that makes them different from other software companies is that they give their licensees (the casinos) more freedom in how to use the software. That gives their casinos more autonomy and variety, but it also means that some may be better deals for players than others. RTG has over 100 casino games available at a number of countries worldwide, including the USA.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>The look of the online gambling industry is constantly changing as the technology evolves and legislatures come around to the idea. One of the biggest potential changes is coming in the U.K., where the government could ditch its longstanding policy regarding the industry in favor of a more hands-on approach.</p>
<p>Currently, the online gambling industry operates in the UK on the White List program, as described on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_the_United_Kingdom" target="_blank"><strong>Wikipedia</strong></a>. Instead of the United Kingdom regulating the industry on their own, they allow that regulation to be outsourced. The UK Gambling Commission established certain licensing conditions, rules and codes of practice and any jurisdiction that met those regulations was white listed. Any online casino that is approved and licensed by a white listed jurisdiction is allowed to operate in the UK without being subject to any additional regulation or taxation.</p>
<p>The jurisdictions currently white listed by the United Kingdom are Alderney, Antigua, Cyprus, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man, Malta, and Tasmania. The UK had been satisfied that the regulators in those jurisdictions were doing a good enough job. And then the Full Tilt <a href="http://www.thebestcasinoguide.com/poker-rooms/type/all/">Poker</a> scandal happened.</p>
<p>Full Tilt is under indictment in the United States for money laundering, wire fraud and bank fraud. They were also revealed to have used players’ deposited funds to pay salaries to executives and board members. International investigations are ongoing to determine the extent of the company’s alleged corruption. The problem is that Full Tilt Poker was licensed by Alderney and thus allowed to operate in the UK. Their license has since been suspended and Alderney regulators say that they were deceived by the company, but that does not make the regulators look competent. As a result, there is a strong push for the UK to enact their own regulation, which would lead to more red tape, taxes, and fees for the casino industry.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you have heard about the Black Friday <a href="http://www.thebestcasinoguide.com/poker-rooms/type/all/">online poker</a> indictments. Though online gambling news is generally found only at gambling publications and websites like this one, this news was all over the mainstream media, from CNN to the <em>New York Times </em>to technology publications like <a href="http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/04/online-gaming-forfeiture/" target="_blank"><strong><em>Wired</em></strong></a><em>. </em>A lot of people have been given misinformation, though. How does Black Friday really affect American online gamblers?</p>
<p>For starters, it does not mean that gambling online is illegal in the United States. A common angle in the reports of Black Friday is that it was the Justice Department finally cracking down on an illegal industry. That is not the case. It was the Justice Department cracking down on <a href="http://www.thebestcasinoguide.com/poker-rooms/type/all/">poker</a> rooms that were allegedly committing wire fraud and bank fraud. The activity of accepting bets from American customers, however, is not illegal. There is no federal law banning the activity and Black Friday didn’t do anything to change that.</p>
<p>There are some states that outlaw online gambling, such as Washington. However, if you do not live in one of those states, you can gamble online in the U.S. legally. That means you can play online poker, <a href="http://www.luckyfreeslots.com/" target="_blank"><strong>casino slots</strong></a>, blackjack or any other game without worrying about running afoul of the law.</p>
<p>Opponents of gambling like to cite the Wire Act as banning online casino gaming, but it does no such thing. It bans online betting on sports, but not casino gambling. Playing casino games online is perfectly legal in the U.S. unless banned by some local law.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Not long ago, the U.S. federal government and the mainstream media were content to pretend that online gambling didn’t exist. Sure, it existed in other places, like tiny island nations way far away, but not in America. After all, the government wasn’t regulating the industry, so how could it exist?</p>
<p>Then Black Friday happened and the story was too big for people to ignore. Suddenly the media was reporting on online gambling and about how they were corrupt businesses that had to commit fraud to send and receive funds. What’s more, the media started to comment on the industry as a whole, as if they had been following it all along. So outlets like <a href="http://www.cnn.com/" target="_blank"><strong>cnn.com</strong></a> suddenly had an opinion on online gambling, mostly to say that it was a rogue industry that must be thwarted by the government for the protection of the people.</p>
<p>The truth is that online gambling is already happening in America, and it’s time for people to deal with it. If the industry is considered rogue (an opinion with which I disagree), then that is actually a good reason to have the government regulate, rather than ignore it. The Full Tilt scandal has showed that even among the popular gambling websites, there are some that have questionable business practices. If the government was overseeing them, in that would be less likely to happen. Of course, if the Alderney regulators did their job properly, it never would have been an issue. As a result, Alderney is going to conduct a review of their procedures to see where they went wrong.</p>
<p>The new “experts” at places like CNN think that the best way to protect people from problem gambling, underage gambling and other problems is to outlaw the activity, since it worked so well with Prohibition. The best way, however, is to encourage personal responsibility, help those who need assistance to get it, and do everything possible to make sure the industry is safe. That means regulation is necessary.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Underage gambling is one of the top concerns of those who oppose online gambling, matched only perhaps by gambling addiction. The two also go hand in hand, as people are concerned that minors will start gambling and then become addicted.</p>
<p>To that end, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission issued a report in which they said that the online gambling industry does not do a good enough job of protecting minors. The FTC visited over 100 gambling websites and found that in many cases, minors can easily access the site and gamble. The <a href="http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2002/06/onlinegambling.shtm" target="_blank"><strong>FTC warning</strong></a> also said that minors are often exposed to advertisements for online gambling on websites not related to the industry.</p>
<p>With the FTC’s warning in mind, those who seek regulation of online gambling need to make protecting minors and problem gamblers a top priority, if it isn’t already. The last thing that society or the gambling industry needs is for a government-regulated industry to increase problem gambling and other societal problems.</p>
<p>For some time, the folks at <a href="http://www.gamblingreviews.com/" target="_blank"><strong>www.gamblingreviews.com</strong></a> have been warning against trusting that government regulation would be a panacea for the industry. The truth is that the government makes a lot of mistakes in industries that it regulates already, so the framework for online gambling regulation needs to be carefully crafted.</p>
<p>It should be noted that the FTC warning was from 2002. Since then, there have been improvements in the industry when it comes to security and protection of underage and problem gamblers. If Congress opts to vote on regulating the industry, they would likely have the FTC or another group perform a similar study now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>Though many online casino games are available for free, the biggest draw of those games is to gamble on them. Like with the brick and mortar casinos in places like Las Vegas and Macau, people generally want to play casino games for the chance to win money, even knowing that there is a good chance of losing it.</p>
<p>Many people are cautious about depositing money into an online casino account, but it is quite safe if done on a reputable online casino. With modern technology, depositing funds to a casino account is just as safe as conducting an online transaction with your bank. Both entities use sophisticated encryption software to protect your information and ensure that the funds are secure. If that still isn’t enough to satisfy you, you can use cash to purchase a pre-paid card and then use that card to make the deposit.</p>
<p>Finding the right casino to play at can be difficult. There is a good directory of the best casinos at <a href="http://onlinecasinorealmoney.net/" target="_blank"><strong>OnlineCasinoRealMoney</strong></a>. The casino directory has a listing of online casinos that are deemed safe, are licensed and regulated by respectable authorities, and have a good selection of games, bonuses and tournaments.</p>
<p>Bonuses and tournaments are important things to use to your advantage when playing at online casinos for real money. Bonuses often come in the form of a match of your deposit and it gives you extra money to wager. The tournaments allow you to enter for a small buy-in and then play using the casino’s credits for a chance to win prizes. Be sure to read all of the rules, terms and conditions for bonuses and tournaments to make sure it is a good deal before playing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p>If you’re an American who likes playing casino games online, you might have noticed changes recently. It is becoming harder to find a place to play. In the aftermath of what has become known as Black Friday, many online gambling operators have pulled out of the U.S. market.</p>
<p>First, it’s important to know that in America, playing at an online casino or <a href="http://www.thebestcasinoguide.com/poker-rooms/type/all/">online poker</a> room isn’t illegal, unless it is banned by your state. Though a few states outlaw the activity, there is no federal law doing so (only sports betting is banned online federally). What Full Tilt <a href="http://www.thebestcasinoguide.com/poker-rooms/type/all/">Poker</a> and PokerStars got in trouble for wasn’t offering online gambling games; it was for allegedly engaging in money laundering and other forms of fraud.</p>
<p>However, when the U.S. Justice Department went after the poker rooms, it sent up a red flag for others in the industry. The DOJ froze funds, issued indictments and seized the domain names of the companies, all things that would cripple any online gambling business. For that reason, a lot of companies decided that it was not worth the risk to continue accepting American customers so they pulled out of the market.</p>
<p>Some of the biggest names in the industry have pulled out of America, but there are still a number of quality <a href="http://www.onlinecasinomagic.com/online-casino-usa.html" target="_blank"><strong>online casinos for US players</strong></a>.

The market is always fluctuating and if Congress decides to regulate the industry, more options may soon be available.</p>
