888 Casino Looking to Bring In 3D Slots

Posted by admin On February - 28 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

The 888 Online Casino has prepared a new slot game that is in 3D. This new game is being offered as a means of getting players to be more immersed in the game.

The Magical Forest game, which is available online at 888.com, is a three-dimensional slot machine. It works in that a player can use a special pair of 3D glasses from the game’s operator. The glasses can be ordered online through the operator.

The 3D effects can be seen by simply wearing the 3D glasses while playing on the Magical Forest slot. There is no need to get a computer monitor that can support 3D images handled. This should be able to work on just about any type of computer screen as long as the glasses are used.

888.com is offering this as a means of getting ahead in the world of online casino technology. The site has explained that 3D television sets and 3D technology have become very popular and that it could be a technology that might cross over into online casinos in the near future.

Also, this is being offered as a means of getting a player to feel like the person is in an actual casino environment. The 3D imagery can be used to make the slot machine look true to life. This can cause the player to feel like the casino is right there in the room.

It is not clear as to whether or not 888.com will be adding 3D support to other games. However, it is expected that the online casino will attempt to use this on some of its table games and maybe a few other slots. Also, 888.com is expected to offer a series of promotions in the near future to promote the 3D game and the new technology on the site.

Rival Gaming, one of the top providers of software for online casinos, has released a new slot game that is inspired by horse racing. This new game is called A Day at the Derby. It is expected to be introduced in a variety of different online casinos in the near future.

A Day at the Derby is an online slot that features a horse racing theme. The reels are set inside a horse racing track that is easily visible when the reels spin.

The symbols on the slot game are all representative of different things in horse racing. These include things like horses, horseshoes, jockeys, betting slips and binoculars. Each of these symbols has their own special animations.

The game can be customized by a casino. It can be altered in terms of the number of paylines or the cost per play. The values will vary by each casino.

The big jackpot symbol is the green jockey symbol. This symbol can come up and give the player a jackpot of up to 2,500 coins in value. A higher payout will be used when more money is bet on a game.

There is also a wild symbol that appears on the first three reels of the game. This wild symbol is the brown horse symbol. A payout can be higher when there are multiple wild symbols on the machine.

A blue jockey symbol is also special. This symbol can provide the player with free spins if it appears on a spin. A player can get up to twenty free spins off of this symbol. Also, the payouts will be tripled during these free spins.

There is also a bonus screen on the game. This bonus game is a special horse race event where a player will select the horse that the player thinks will win the race. Bonus credits can be earned depending on where the chosen horse finishes in the race.

Casino Proposal Hits Downtown Vancouver

Posted by admin On February - 26 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

A new proposed casino in Vancouver, British Columbia, is being planned near the city’s main stadium. A $500 million Canadian project has been created and proposed by Paragon, a casino operator that also operates other casinos around the city.

The Paragon casino would feature 1500 new slots and 150 tables for a variety of different games. A series of hotel buildings are also being proposed around the area. The casino would also be located right next to the BC Place Stadium. Concord Pacific is also looking to build some residential towers in the area.

The total cost of the entire project would be a little over a billion dollars. This is almost twice as much as the cost of the renovations that have been done over the past year to the BC Place Stadium.

This proposal has yet to receive the approval of the city government for a re-zoning application. This is required before the casino can be built.

The casino proposal has received a large amount of support from a variety of groups. The B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the Vancouver Board of Trade are in support of the proposal. The B.C. Lions, the primary tenant of BC Place Stadium, have also expressed support for the proposal.

Paragon is also reporting that the new casino will not cause problem gambling to increase in British Columbia. This is according to reports that problem gambling rates have stayed the same even with casino expansion around the year. Still, the Vancouver Not Vegas group is still working to oppose the expansion.

The potential amount of money that would be brought into the city would be very substantial. It is estimated that the casino would generate about $100 million from tourists in an average year and potentially up to a potential of $150 million in new gambling.

Empire Resorts Interested in Monticello Expansion

Posted by admin On February - 25 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Empire Resorts has announced plans to offer a massive expansion for the Monticello Casino and Raceway in the Catskill Mountains of New York State outside Route 17. The plan is to add a large series of hotels and an expansion of its casino gaming options. These expansions would go alongside the existing casino and the harness racing track that is already located at the casino and racetrack.

The recent proposal offers a number of special plans that the casino wants to work with. It is looking to add three new hotels to the casino. Two restaurants and a full service spa are also being planned. There have even been some plans to get a water park built at the resort.

Some casino changes are also expected in this plan. These include a full renovation of the casino area and the addition of a few new games. The casino has expressed a desire to bring table games out. It is hoping that this expansion will be used to bring table games out to the Monticello casino.

A racing simulcast room is also planned. This is where people could go to watch and bet on races from other tracks from around the country.

The plan is expected to be about $400 million in value. It is also expected to create around 250 jobs.

This plan is especially being used as a means of trying to compete with other markets that are beginning to take hold New York City with regards to gambling. The expansion of casino gambling in Pennsylvania and the ongoing competition in New Jersey and Connecticut have impacted the ways how people in the city are going to different casinos. The plans at Monticello are looking to potentially impact the market to bring casino money back to the state of New York.

Indiana Live to Possibly Default

Posted by admin On February - 4 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

There are concerns that the Indiana Live casino in Shelbyville, Indiana will end up going to default on its debts. The casino has more than half a billion dollars in debt with a large amount of this debt coming from what it needed to borrower in order to open up two years ago.

The concerns come despite how the casino had a revenue increase of twenty-five percent in the first quarter of this year. The concern about the money is that if it goes default there is a potential that the casino might have to sell off some of its assets. This is because the casino will have to pay off the debts that it was required to pay off even if it means some assets have to be sold off.

Lobbyists are looking to get tax breaks on their operations to help with getting them to keep from losing too much money in taxes in order to stay operational. They will be arguing that the recent recession has caused the profits at the casino to be lower than that of what they expected them to be worth and that the money should be controlled properly for the needs of the casino to work.
