Online Gambling

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.

Slots of Vegas – $100 FREE + 300% bonus on initial deposits between $30 and $100!

Silver Oak Casino – $50 FREE + 250% bonus on initial deposits between $25 and $100!

Intertops RED Casino – 100% bonus on initial deposits between $20 and $100!

Back in the day, every US-facing online poker site worth its salt ran regularly-scheduled online poker freerolls with real cash prizes and no entry requirements. Before Black Friday in April 2011, the least amount of time that you would have to wait before another online poker freeroll started somewhere was maybe 90 minutes.

I just reviewed the top US-friendly online poker sites, and online poker freerolls seem to be a thing of the past. Only one of the four top online poker sites, Poker4Ever on the Everleaf Network, runs regularly-scheduled freerolls any longer, and the prize pools are as small as $5.

And while Doyle’s Room does have their “Freeroll Fridays in September“, this is a special promotion and isn’t a part of their regular freeroll tourney offerings. Finally, Cake Poker and BoDog have freerolls, but only for their new players.

It’s too bad that freerolls appear to be a thing of the past. I think newbies looked forward to getting their feet wet with these types of tourneys.

Real money online poker players that reside in the United States have fewer options for their online poker play since Black Friday of April 2011. As I am sure you are aware, many online poker rooms have left the United States market in light of the FBI’s actions on that day.

DoylesRoom.ag has decided to keeps its online poker room open to US players. They are even allowing new accounts to residents of the United States (except WA and MD residents). They have recently moved to the Yatahay Online Poker Network, joining a half dozen or so other online poker rooms on the network. In addition, they are offering a LIMITED TIME initial deposit bonus of 100% when you deposit between $50 and $1000.

Doyle’s Room deals Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, 7 Card Stud, and 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo tournaments (both normal and turbo) and cash games in fixed limit (FL), pot limit (PL) and no limit (NL) formats. You can easily find your favorite game using the filters provided in the poker lobby.

The easiest way to make a deposit at Doyle’s Room is with your Visa card. Otherwise, you can deposit via a Bank Wire or a Person-to-Person transfer; however, these deposit options are obviously less convenient than depositing via your Visa credit card. There is a $50 minimum deposit — this is perfectly reasonable, in my opinion.

Your best withdraw option is probably a bank draft / check. Checks can be requested for between $25 and $2500 once per week and have no fee! You can also choose debit cards as your withdrawal method, but there is a $5 monthly fee, plus a load fee of $2 each time that you load the card. Debit cards usually also have a per-transaction fee when you use the debit card to make a purchase.

Your online poker options are limited if you live in the United States. Doyle’s Room is a solid online poker room that you should consider for your online poker play.

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.

So — we’re about three weeks into the 2011 MLB Baseball Season. How’s your favorite team doing…? 4-12 or 12-4?

If you’re like me and a fan of the Cincinnati Reds, you’re pretty happy at the top of the National League Central Division, coming off of a 11-2 pounding of the Pirates on Saturday, a game that included the team’s first grand slam of the 2011 season.

If not, it’s time to get started with a great offer from one of the top-rated US-friendly online sportsbooks, Oddsmaker. It’s a 100% match bonus, up to a grand.

• Bonus money cannot be played on or transferred to poker.

Use your sportsbook bonus to bet on the MLB season, the NHL and NBA playoffs, and countless number of other sports and entertainment events.

For those of you who have been around a while, you may recall a few years ago when there was a flood of G-FED online casinos that began opening across the world. These online casinos were available to U.S. players prior to the UIGEA of 2006. Subsequently, the G-FED online casinos closed their virtual doors to U.S. players, and the G-FED software was rebranded as CGTV Games.

Last month, iFortune777 opened its online casino. It is running the CGTV Games software, and it is open to U.S. players from 39 states (players from the following U.S. states are barred from real-money play: Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington).

This is good news for all of you who have missed their unique brand of slot machines and other games. They have added quite a few new games in the past years, so you’ll want to check them out. New players are being offered $20 FREE to try their online casino (40X playthrough, $50 max withdrawal), while new depositors will receive a 100% match, up to — surprise, surprise — $777 (15x playthrough on the deposit+bonus amount).

Be aware, however, that they have very limited banking options — bank wire and Visa only. Look for them to add additional banking options going forward.

Pretty simple online casino promo here. Click the banner below and you’re in. US players welcome at this Rival online casino.

Depositors will also get a 100% slots bonus on their deposits of between $50 and $1000.
