For the first time in a long time, there is a new player in the online casino software world. That new vendor is NuWorks. The NuWorks online casino software appears to be based on the Real Time Gaming (RTG) code base, but the graphics are much improved, and the game play is much smoother. Overall, it appears to be a major upgrade to RTG that has been rebranded as NuWorks.

NuWorks casinos are starting to appear on the Internet. As of now, there are just two online casinos that run NuWorks. Of the two — Buzzluck Online Casino and Lucky Club Casino — I have been playing at Buzzluck since they have a much better new player initial deposit bonus of 100% up to $868.

Buzzluck has 24 online slots and 4 table games (baccarat, blackjack, Tri Card Poker, and Let’em Ride). They also have 1, 3, 10, 52, and 100 hand versions of Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, and Joker Poker video poker.

All this week, I will be blogging about their new slots, and posting an analysis of their payback schedules for their table games and video poker.

I enjoy playing online slot machines, don’t you? I certainly have my favorites, but it’s nice to play something new as a change-of-pace.

It has been a while since I updated my site with the newest online slot machines from RealTimeGaming (RTG). Here are the link to their latest online slot machines, all of which have been published sometime this year.

• Basketbull: Win-Win Feature
• Coat of Arms: Black Knight is Wild and doubles the prize
• Count Spectacular: Get ready for a spookily good time
• Glitz & Glamour: The Man substitute doubles the prize, the Lady triples prizes; but when appearing together in a winning combination, they multiply the prizes by 6
• It’s a Mystery!: Feature Guarantee 25-line, murder mystery-themed online slot machine
• Mice Dice: Feature Guarantee and Win-Win Features
• White Rhino: Kilimanjaro Re-spin Feature will hold any improved combinations as the reels spin

You can play any of these online slot machines using free money and match bonuses at these top online casinos.

In the wake of the recent FBI indictment of several prominent online poker room owners / principles, some online casinos (primarily some Rival online casinos) have elected to leave the US market, similar to what happened in response to the passage of the UIGEA in 2006.

I’ve recently been in contact with the owners of several 5-star rated Real Time Gaming (RTG) online casinos, who assured me that their doors remain open to US-based real-money players. Of of these sites — Intertops — has served US players uninterrupted since 1996.

So, if you’ve been locked out of your favorite online casino, why not give these a try? You won’t be disappointed.

For you video poker enthusiasts, I’ve increased the number of video poker varieties that are analyzed on my video poker page from 15 to 18. The recently-added varieties of online video poker are:

• Loose Deuces: There are three online casino software vendors that offer this video poker; the paytables are the same at all of them; the house edge is 0.93%. You can play it at Bodog, Real Time Gaming online casinos like Intertops RED, and Grand Virtual online casinos.
• Triple Bonus: Not recommended. The house edge is a whopping 9.98%!
• Triple Double Bonus: Double Double Bonus video poker on steriods. There are two online casino software vendors that offer this video poker; the house edge ranges from 0.43% to 1.85%. Unfortunately, Grand Virtual online casinos — where the better paytable is offered — are not available to US residents. You can find the less desirable paytable at BetOnSoft online casinos like Treasure Mile.
• Super Double Bonus: Dealt at Grand Virtual online casinos, the house edge is 1.32%.

RTG online casinos have released Ocean Dreams, a new online video slot machine.

The majesty of the deep blue sea is calling, and with these prizes on offer it will be hard to resist taking the plunge! Ocean Dreams is a beautiful new 25 line slot game, set to the stunning backdrop of a tropical island and an enchanting underwater oasis.

Orca symbols are wild, and the Gold Orca on Reel 3 will double prizes when it appears in a win.

Ocean Dreams roves that beauty is definitely more than skin deep, with up to 100 free games triggered by sinning up 3 or more scattered Islands left to right or right to left. With prizes doubled during the feature, and all Orcas changed to doubling Gold Orcas, you may find yourself on an extended “Ocean Dreams” vacation!

The game includes multiple jackpots and the unique Win-Win Feature, which can award up to a 1000x Bet bonus!

The recommended sites for Ocean Dreams are listed below.
