RTG Online Casinos Still Strong in the United States

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.

The 12 Slots of Christmas – Part 3

In honor of the holiday season, I’m counting down the “12 Slots of Christmas” — your guide to the top 12 online slot machines that feature the holidays, Christmas, or winter wonderlands.

In this part 3 of 3, I’ll count down from the number 4 online slot to the number 1 online slot. Check out Part 1 and part 2 if you missed them.

4. Merry Bells: Check out the goofy-looking snowman in this online slot machine that features wilds, scatters, and the Santa’s Stocking Stuffer bonus round. [I play at 7Spins.]

3. Santa’s Wild Ride: A Harley-riding Santa, with a choice of three styles of Wild in the five-reel, 243 ways to win video slot. [Check out this online slot machine at  Quatro Casino.]

Santas Wild Ride online slot machine image

2. Santa Strikes Back: The second in a trilogy of Christmas-themed slots from RTG, all of which made the top 5. As you join in this joyous battle to settle order in Santa’s Secret Village, beware as when three or more Santas or Rudolphs are victorious in their scuffle, you will receive your first present – 7 free games! [Play this online slot machine at Slots of Vegas.]

Santa Strikes Back online slot machine image

1. Return of the Rudolph: The third in a trilogy of Christmas-themed slots from RTG, all of which made the top 5 — this online slot machine was released just weeks ago. Return of the Rudolph contains features from the previous two games (Rudolph’s Revenge, Santa Strikes Back) and a new bonus round feature. Rudolph is Wild for all symbols except his nefarious henchmen, the scattered ‘Thugs’. When 3 Rudolphs appear on Reel 3, he will expand and triple all prizes if substituting in a winning combination. Spinning up 3 or 4 Thugs symbols will trigger the Rudolph’s Revenge Feature, the Santa Strikes Back Feature or the Rudolph’s Rampage Bonus Screen Feature. Help Santa to rescue his elves and be rewarded with free games and an array of potential extras, including quadrupled prizes, expanding tripling Wilds on Reel 3 and extra Wilds! [Play this online slot machine at Slots of Vegas.]

BetOnSoft Online Casinos Offer 28 Video Slot Machines

As I mentioned in a previous post, BetOnSoft is a new online casino software provider that is currently running five online casinos — my favorite of which is Treasure Mile.

Among the slot machines at BetOnSoft online casinos, there are the typical themes of gladiators, jungle animals, and spin-the-wheel / “Wheel of Fortune”. However, they also have some slot machines with some themes that I’ve not seen at any other online casinos.

Fight on the side of Captain Shockwave and the Alpha Squad as they take on the Omega Syndicate. It’s all out action, an adventure and clash of two major forces in the ultimate showdown! Get your uniform, grab your battle plan and go, go, go! Win up to 120,000 coins and up to 24 free spins on this 15 coin, 30 line wild video slot!
It’s time to saddle up and head out west. But you’d better be quick on the spin if you want to get anywhere in this wild west slot! Win up to 60,000 coins! 30 Line. 10 Coins. Up to 20 free spins. 2 expanding wilds!

Two Ways Royal Online Video Poker with 99.79% Return

In Two Ways Royal online video poker, a 2-through-6 straight flush is called a Low Royal Flush and it pays the same as a Royal Flush. With the proper pay table, max coins played, and optimal play, Two Ways Royal online video poker returns an exceptional 99.79% — that’s only a 0.21% house edge!

The good news is that there are several US-friendly Gaming Right Media (GRM) online casinos that deal Two Ways Royal online video poker with this player-friendly return table.

Playtech online casinos also deal Two Ways Royal online video poker with this same generous  in return table, but are not open to players in the US.

Don’t you just love video poker? I do! Video poker has some of the best returns in the casino — if you play it correctly, of course.

(While some claim that a Low Royal Flush is an Ace-through-5 straight flush, this is not correct. It is, in fact a 2-through-6 straight flush.)

New Slots3™ Online Slot Machines

The Slots3™ online slot machines from BetSoftGaming are arguably the most visually stunning and most interesting of all online slot machines. Recently, they have released three new online slots, available at 7Red Casino.

Updates to Video Poker Pages

Offer valid in USD as well as EUR.

As I mentioned in a previous post, BetOnSoft online casinos are a new online casino software provider in the US market. The BetOnSoft online casinos (listed below) offer seven popular varieties of video poker including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker Deluxe, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Double Bonus, and Joker Poker. Futhermore, each of these video pokers is offered as single-handed, ten-handed, and fifty-handed varieties.

I’ve updated the video poker pages for Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker Deluxe, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, and Joker Poker to include the return tables for the BetOnSoft online casinos. As it turns out, their return tables are simply outstanding. As two examples, the return on their Bonus Poker is 99.50% and their return on their Bonus Poker Deluxe is 99.45% — both of these return percentages are highest among all online casinos for those video poker games.

Any of these video poker games can be played for as little as a penny per credit, all the way up to $5 per credit in single-handed mode, $2 per credit in ten-handed mode, and $1 per credit in fifty-handed mode.

If video poker is your game, you’ll want to take a hard look at one or more of the BetOnSoft online casinos. Start with Treasure Mile; here is a list of other BetOnSoft online casinos. Be aware that if you take advantage of the Treasure Mile 100% initial deposit bonus (use bonus code TM1000), video poker counts as only 10% toward meeting the 20 x (deposit + bonus) playthrough requirement associated with the bonus. So, if you only played video poker with your initial deposit and bonus, you essentially have to meet a 400 x deposit playthrough before you can make a withdrawal.

Offer valid in USD as well as EUR.
