WinADay Players Love New 'Busted' Video Slot's Bonus Game & Double Up Feature

Cops and robbers bonus round makes the fun last even longer

Busted, the latest totally one-of-a-kind video slots game at WinADayCasino.com, is a retro comic book-style cops and robbers adventure with a spine-tingling Bonus Game. Busted is three games in one: a classic 17 pay line video slot, a Double Up round and a Cops and Robbers bonus game.

For the Cops and Robbers Bonus Game, players choose to be either a Robber or a Cop and then collect symbols related to their character. When all 5 special Cop or Robber symbols have been collected the bonus game begins. The Double Up Bonus Game – a chance to double winnings from the last spin -- is triggered when the Double symbol appears on the rightmost wheel of a winning spin.



“Players usually get excited about a new game,” said manager Michael Hilary, “But we’ve really had an extraordinary response to Busted!”

“At first I thought it was just another game that wouldn’t hold my attention long,” said Harry J. “Five days later it’s taken the place of Slot 21 as my favorite game. Busted! is truly outstanding -- it plays fast and it pays great. I’ve never played a game that serves up so many wins!”

“OMG!!! I love this new game!” said Sarah T. “The graphics are so fun and clear. The option to choose the crook or the police officer when betting is so cool. But the coolest part of the game to me is the BONUS feature..... and the amount of winnings you can get.”

“Since I'm a comic book fan, this game got my attention just looking at the graphics on the loading page. I figured hey, if the rest of the game is like this it should be fun to play. Busted! didn't let me down either!” said Lisa W. “This game gives you a choice of what character you’d like to play, the good guy or the bad guy. I went crooked and picked the robber. As you spin, if you picked robber you're on the run from the police. You collect pieces that you need in order to go to the bonus round. Then in the bonus round you get to roll the dice and advance like playing a board game, but with a twist. You see your player’s every move as he tries to get away. And you can also see the law getting closer. With the music playing in the background and the action brightly highlighted its easy to get excited trying to out run the cops! Plus wherever you land you could get additional spins and great payouts. I'm simply crazy about this game. Even the music is cool!”

Like all slots games at WinADayCasino.com, the new Busted! is tied to the site’s progressive jackpot which is currently just over $100,000. As regulars at WinADay know, that means it could be due for another big jackpot payout any day now.

The creative team that develops all of WinADay’s unique games has another new one almost ready to launch. Special promotions celebrating the new Jacks or Better will be announced next week.

Busted makes 22 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker, roulette and keno games at WinADayCasino.com. They’re all instant-play online casino games so there’s no downloading or installation required.

Badbeat Sponsored Players Rank in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011

Mark Maunsell takes 70th place in a field of 1,058 players

Mark Maunsell, 24, was one of two Badbeat.com sponsored poker players to cash in the PokerStars UKIPT Nottingham 2011 which had a record breaking 1,058 entrants and an astounding £529,000 prize pool.

The other Badbeat.com player was Badbeat Managing Director John Conroy, who was eliminated after racing with TT against AK when down to just 15 big blinds, came in 81st and a prize of £1,375.

Mark first joined Badbeat.com as a Sponsored Player in April 2010 starting on a $300 Daily Limit and, with the support and tuition of his personal high-stakes mentor Manuel Palanca, worked his way through the levels to a $3,000 Daily Limit earning himself not only a profitable year with Badbeat.com but was awarded a PokerStars UKIPT ticket for his outstanding performance.

Mark’s mentor, Manuel, commented, “Mark played a fantastic game throughout his two days at the UKIPT Nottingham which sadly came to an end when his QQ ran into AK with the river bringing a King to eliminate Mark and put him in 70th place for a £1,585 prize. I’m still very proud of him for making it this far in such a big tournament.”

Mark Maunsell commented on his game, “This was my biggest live tournament and although it was a little nerve-wracking, my whole game was pretty solid. I just played the two cards in front of me and took it one step at a time.

Mark will be representing Badbeat.com again at the PokerStars UKIPT Manchester in March and you can keep track of him and all the Badbeat players who are entering by following them on Twitter (@BadbeatLimited), Facebook, the Badbeat Blog (blog.badbeat.com) or at www.badbeat.com.

Texan Wins $20k Jackpot Playing Loose Caboose Online Slot Machine at US-friendly GrandeVegasCasino.com

Several million dollar progressive jackpots still begging to be won!

Last week Deborah W. from Houston has won $20,139 playing the Loose Caboose online slot machine at GrandeVegasCasino.com.  The US-friendly online casino has more than $5 million in progressive jackpots waiting to be won – and that doesn’t even count all the random jackpots available -- so it should come as no surprise that a regular player walked away with more than $20K after an evening of slots just the other night.

“I win a little here and there, but never anything like this!” said Deborah W. “I like to play in slots tournaments, and Loose Caboose is one that Grande Vegas uses for tournaments, so I’ve played it a lot. Just goes to show, you just never know!”
Loose Caboose is a 25-pay line, 5-reel video slot game with a top jackpot of 5000x the line bet, paid out when five Engineer symbols appear on an active pay line. The Caboose is the Scatter symbol and three or more trigger the Cash Train Bonus Game where free spins can be won. Other symbols of trains from the Wild West include an engine, conductor and ticket.

While progressive jackpots require players to spin a specific combination of symbols after placing a maximum bet, the Loose Caboose jackpot – like several others at Grande Vegas, is a “random” jackpot. This means that any player can hit the jackpot any time, regardless of how much they’ve bet or what they spin.

The biggest progressive jackpots at GrandeVegasCasino.com are the biggest jackpot available to American players. Jackpot Pinatas is currently over $1.6 million. Other million dollar jackpots are the Aztec’s Millions ($1.2 million) and the Midlife Crisis/Shopping Spree ($1,055,000). Cleopatra’s Gold is worth over a quarter million.

GrandeVegasCasino.com is famous for its generous bonuses and VIP comps. Players automatically earn 1 free comp point for every $10 wagered. 100 comp points are equivalent to $1 real money that can be wagered or withdrawn.

In addition to their $100 Welcome Bonus, Grande Vegas Casino gives players up to another $200 in deposit bonus money every month (coupon code GRFEB11). Once a month players can also collect up to $140 with the Lifestyle Bonus (coupon code for February: ROMEO). By cashing in on special Monday, mid-month, midweek and “Wild Vegas” bonuses players can get hundreds more in free bonus cash.

Grande Vegas Casino is a state-of-the-art online casino owned by Tigress Management Ltd. It offers hundreds of popular online casino games and several million dollar slot machine progressive jackpots. GrandeVegas.com welcomes players from around the world, including the United States.

Badbeat.com Poker Staking Now Recruiting Poker Tournament Players for Sponsorship

Winning cash game and tournament players wanted during spring recruitment drive

Badbeat.com has started its spring recruitment efforts and is offering winning cash game and tournament players the chance to change their lives and become part of its stable of sponsored poker pros.

Poker staking is an important part of the modern professional poker ecosystem, with many of today’s top and up-and-coming poker talents enjoying the financial backing of a major online poker operator. Indeed, most of the game’s biggest stars find their way to the main event tables of major tournaments this way, but at a more real-world level, Badbeat.com sponsored players enjoy the type of practical staking that helps their game develop without risking the loss of their own finances.

As part of their Q1 recruitment drive, Badbeat.com is scouting for players. Winning No Limit Hold’em cash game players at $0.25/$0.50 or above, or winning tournament player at $20 buy-in or above and can prove so with statistics such as Hold'em Manager or Shark Scope, can register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route One’ application form found in the “Get Sponsored” page at www.badbeat.com.

Low Stakes Cash Players (lower than $0.25/$0.50) you can still apply to become a Badbeat Sponsored Player as follows: -

• Downloading PokerTime and creating an account;
• Downloading the innovative MyPokerLab software and register using your PokerTime account details;
• Depositing to PokerTime account and playing at least 5,000 real money cash hands.

Once players have at least 5,000 hands recorded in their MyPokerLab account, they can then register as a member of Badbeat.com and submit a ‘Route Two’ application form.

Why would a winning player would need staking? Many players don’t like risking their own money when just a few bad beats and lost coin flips can turn a winning session into one that decimates a bankroll. Badbeat.com provides its sponsored poker players with a fixed amount of money per day to eliminate their personal risk at the tables, freeing them up to play their ‘A-game’. Poker staking often comes to the aid of those with limited financial funding who are struggling to progress because their play is dictated by the size of their bankroll (risk), but would have the potential to move up the levels once freed up.

Players that can beat the lower stakes games but can’t afford to lose your bankroll taking a shot at the big games, and winners that struggle with bankroll management and go on Isildur1-like runs of swings well outside their comfort zone, can change their life and give the big time a shot by applying for the Badbeat.com staking system where world class poker mentors will guide them to their own pro poker career.

Bidibot Implements Special Features to Accommodate New Bidders

Win limits and specially designated auctions give more online poker and casino players a chance to win

Just like poker, winning a Bidibot penny auction takes both luck and strategy. Since it can take some practice and learning to bid and win against more experienced bidders, Bidibot has incorporated some special features just for newbies. Auctions designated “Max Bids” and “Unlucky Bidders” and “No Bot” help level the playing field. Limits on number of auctions won now make it possible for even more poker and casino game players to buy credits for a fraction of their value.

“We want to accommodate all kinds of customers so, based on feedback we’ve received, we’ve implemented some important changes,” said poker pro and Bidibot founder John Tabatabai. “Win limits and specially designated auctions help ensure everyone has a fair chance of winning.”

Bidibot is an online penny auction site that auctions credits at popular online poker and casino sites. $25, $30 and even $50 in credits usually sell for less than $5. With such incredible bargains to be had, competition can be fierce and many bidders have developed smart strategies. The site does have a “Strategy” section to help new bidders develop their own winning strategy while win limits and special auctions give them an opportunity to hone their bidding skills.

Maxbid auctions, for example, are designed to restrict the number of bids placed per user, reducing the competition and giving new bidders a better chance of winning. The maximum number of bids allowed is illustrated on the Max Bids icon. And Unlucky Bidder auctions are open only to bidders that have never won a Bidibot auction. These auctions are a great place to start bidding against other newcomers.

This week special auctions for Valentine's offer a wide range of consumer goods including televisions, iPods and cameras plus vouchers for Top Shop and spa breaks – and they’ll all likely sell for pennies on the dollar.

Bidibot auctions credits for leading poker and casino sites including Poker Stars, UltimateBet, 888Poker, Absolute Poker, Titan Poker, Victory Poker, JackpotCity, JackpotJoy, Sportsbook.com, PartyBingo and DiceArena. Chilipoker, RPM and Slotland credits are also now available at the only online penny auction site for gamblers.

Bluff Europe Super Tour 'Champion of Champions' Crowned in Paris Next Week

The top European players of 2010 meet at the ACF on 8th February to find out who really is the best of the B.E.S.T.

4 February 2011 (London, UK) -- Throughout 2010 Bluff Europe Magazine tracked the results from over 75 of Europe’s most prestigious tournaments, and the performance of thousands of poker players across the continent, in order to determine the Bluff Europe Super Tour (B.E.S.T.) Player of the Year. The best of the B.E.S.T. play 8th February in Paris to crown the Champion of Champions.

The Bluff Europe Super Tour comprises a special selection of £500-buy-in and above events. The ranking system is determined by a formula that considers the buy-in and the number of entrants in each tournament and only considers tournaments with real international stature. This forumula rewards skill over luck and determines, what the magazine feels, is the most accurate measure of tournament poker players in Europe.

Dutchman Paul Berende topped a ranking system that’s designed to reward consistency rather than one hit wonders, and Paul’s consistent deep finishes in large-field, high-buy-in tournaments were enough to seal the deal.

The top ten players of 2010 will converge on the Aviation Club de France in Paris for an all-star SNG tournament to determine the best of the B.E.S.T. The winner of the tournament will not only receive a seat at the WPT Paris Main Event, worth €5k, but also the trophy, a spot on the front cover of Bluff Europe and the title of Champion of Champions.

The SNG kicks off at 4pm at the ACF on 8th Feb, and, as well Berende, will include big players from countries across Europe, including Nicolas Levi, Emanuele Rugini, Per Linde, Matt Perrins, Craig McCorkell, Steven Van Zaddelhoff and James Mitchell.

Bluff Europe Editor Philip Conneller said, “2010 was the first year of the B.E.S.T. rankings and we feel that they’re the most equitable ranking system in Europe. They’re designed to reward consistency in difficult, high buy-in tournaments and we feel that’s the true mark of a great tournament player. The B.E.S.T Champion of Champions event is the exciting culmination of a fantastic year of European poker.”
